Review Chilango - Chicago

Michelle Denning
Best fish tacos and burritos! It's a small dine in but it's nice for a quick bite or to get it to go! It can be a bit of a wait sometimes because they are super busy with their to-go orders most of the time. The food is consistently good and fresh! Empanadas fresh, right out of the fryer. Their street corn is also yum (in the cup and on the cob)! They've got fresh juices and horchata as well.

Quaint taco shop near UIC campus. The prices are pretty low for Chicago and the workers were nice. The sauces for the table were a spicy verde, a medium chipotle sauce, and a not-spicy Mayo. A solid 4.5 star place. Burrito - absolutely loaded with filling! Little too much lettuce but tasted very authentic, especially with the verde and chipotle salsas on top. Veggie taco - I was surprised they used onion, bell pepper, mushroom, and corn (usually it’s just mushroom). They were cooked perfectly in a nice oil, though I felt the double corn tortilla wrap was unnecessary. Empanada - great roasted filling on the inside, not very crunchy/crispy on the outside. If fried a bit longer, would’ve been even better.

Chilangos has become a staple lunch and dinner spot for me. Hits the spot every time! Pro tip: add guacamole to your burritos.

Ordered the Apastor torta with soup combo and a guava agua fresca. I was very satisfied with my option, very flavorful overall. Great place for quick bite! There’s vegetarian food options. BYOB!!! Street parking only. Customer service is friendly. You can order online for a faster service.

Love their empanadas! Today I got chicken and beef w/ rice. I’ve tried almost everything except the deserts. If you have the time, please give them a try. Verde salsa supremacy 🙏🏽

It was a good steak bowl. Good portion, Sauces were also very good, so was the service, the place looks cool...I don't give 5 stars cause there was no mention of extra fee for steak (as there is for shrimp for example) and I am sure I am not alone as a hater of hidden fees. Still worth it but all charges should be mentioned beforehand.

Attention Vegetarians! The veggie tacos are great, lots of veggies with jicama slaw avocado and cilantro. I didn't get a slice(s) of lime in my to-go. 2 tacos is very filling! The two sauces are delicious unique flavors with a good kick. Elote in a bowl is good as well but needs more of the red chili seasoning if you want the flavor. FYI, if you are a strict vegetarian like me, the veggie bowl/burrito with rice and beans are technically NOT vegetarian-friendly because they add chicken stock hence the 4 Stars for not being very transparent otherwise I'd give this awesome fast to-go spot a 5 Stars.

Got some nachos and horchata here. The nacho’s portion size was massive and it was really good. Loved their sauces- especially the spicy-smokey one. Will definitely visit again to try other things.

Very efficient place in my opinion. Always a reliable choice. The burritos are delightful as is their empanadas with the pink sauce. Tonight I had nachos and a chicken burrito and both were SO GOOD. We’re huge fans of this place!

A special shoutout to their Fish tacos: amazing - what is that sauce! Prices are decent, service is fast and there are about 5-6 tables for dine-in. They are locally famous for their selection of sauces. The Nutella and Banana Empanada is worth checking out too.

My favorite taqueria and I lived in Austin TX. All of the flavors, ingredients and sauces are just better than most places. Favorite items - steak burrito, steak salad, steak torta, tortilla soup and fish tacos. Use the avocado sauce on the burrito, salad and torta. My only complaint - they don’t have a location in my neighborhood!

The menu is fresh and appetizing. Traditional Mexican food with a little twist pounding with flavor. Tried their fish tacos, burritos and Mexican corn and love them all. Service is attentive and welcoming. One of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to by far.

My friends and I are all obsessed with Chilango!! Some of the best Mexican food in the area! I always get the shrimp burrito, but their empanadas, taco salads, tacos, guacamole....well, pretty much everything on the menu is amazing! If you like Chipotle, you won't ever think twice about eating there ever again after eating here. My go to spot for Mexican every time.

Amazing Fish tacos! The tortilla soup was very flavorful with the perfect amount of chicken! I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely visit this location again!
Jay Hicks
Freaking amazing! The staff was great! I feel in love with the entire place! The young ladies that helped me and my friend yesterday were gorgeous and helpful. The burrito bowl is amazing! I wanted to buy another one before I left. I licked my bowl clean it was just to die for! I will be back! Very soon for more

Great genuine Mexican food with Americanized additions as well. Fruit juices, like my favorite Guava, are great. The Nutella empanadas are awesome. You will not be disappointed.
