“ We love this restaurant and when Leo, the owner, pulls up a chair to talk about your experience it just puts it over and above! The chips and salsa are brought to the table right away! Chips are fresh and salsa is something special. The appetizer shrimp tropical was scrumptious! There is a secret ingredient in the sauce. Love it. Really pretty presentation. Fajitas come out sizzling. Fish tacos are filled with fish. Lovely! You just gotta go!! ”
“ HIGHLANDS: on Cinco de Mayo of all days, we stumbled upon Chilangos while exploring the city! They have a huge outdoor patio decorated in bright colors, picnic tables, umbrellas, a taco catering trailer, and outdoor bar! They also allow leashed-dogs! Delicious Mexican-style tacos with your choice of fillings and over 275 tequilas in house! Really friendly people, great food, and a fun environment are a perfect combination for a dog friendly outing! ”
“ I enjoyed my takeout experience with Chilango's, ordered over the phone and ready 45 minutes later. I have heard excellent things about the dine in experience, unfortunately it was raining and humid so I wasn't willing to eat outside....next time. The portions are tremendous and for the quantity and quality of the food it is a good deal. The nachos were a healthy portion with shredded roast chicken. The Beef Burrito was tremendous and included rice. The burrito comes with sauce on it, I recommend you take it on the side so the burrito isn't drowned. On the side was sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, fresh peppers and red onion. My least favorite were the chicken fajitas, the peppers, onions, rice were all fine but the chicken needed more seasoning in my opinion....another tremendous portion. I am looking forward to going back to try more specialties. ”
