The greens salad was extremely salty which I didn’t enjoy but the “drink of the moment” and the espresso martini were fabulous! I always get the potatoes when I come here and they also did not disappoint. Our waitress, Lauren, was AMAZING!!! We will definitely be back! 🤗

This was my 3rd time dining at Chilango, and it never disappoints. The quality and flavor of the food is at the highest level. We tried many different dishes, and they were all outstanding. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be either the NY strip al norteño or the camarones al diablo. The flavors are uncommonly good.
