El Chilango

Tonight, my brother and I went to El Chilango (first time) to celebrate hos birthday and Counselor's week. It's a small restaurant, but the owner and staff are top tier in service. Ozzy, the owner went from table to table, not only checking on the guests, but actually taking the time to talk with everyone. The food was fresh and flavorful. The environment was welcoming and the staff is amazing with beautiful smiles and personalities. The house margarita, no extra shot for me, was well prepared and tasty! My brother enjoyed himself and is already talking about coming back. I read about El Chilango, via my Google feed, being the best Mexican restaurant on the Coast and so far, 5 stars in my opinion, but hey go try it for yourself! I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Really great food! Doris was our waitress and she was so kind and helpful with the menu! It was our first time here and it did not disappoint! Doris also was a great waitress and made sure we were well taken care of! The place is small but the food goes above and beyond! Yum! Also prices were fair and our bill was not bad for 2 people with 2 margaritas, 2 meals and dessert!

Definitely a wonderful experience and highly recommend paying a visit! I had the huaraches, which is a dish I've never seen anywhere else. It was amazing! The lightly seasoned chips were thin and crispy but had strength to lift the guacamole. The salsa was unique, reminiscent of pickle flavor. I had no room for dessert even though the options were so tempting. Warm and friendly service

What a wonderful new addition to the Gulf Coast. Finally a Mexican restaurant with authentic cuisine. Real, fresh, homemade guacamole and homemade corn tortillas, handmade right there on the premises! They also use real cheese, not the white pasteurized stuff everyone else is using! The people there are so incredibly friendly. El Chilango is our new favorite spot! It’s a must try 🌮🇲🇽

This is a really good Mexican restaurant with interesting flavors and a lot of variety. It is NOT the same old tamed-down offerings you find at the standard anglicized places. Many different recipes. The complementary tortilla chips were very light and tasty, the salsa bold and flavorful. Everyone was very nice and efficient. The place is charming and well-appointed.

First time trying this new Mexican restaurant thisafternoon. Have heard good things so wanted to try myself. First off the service was great. Very friendly, quick and checked on us often. The food was also very good. Really good flavor and actually had a different flavor profile than most other Mexican places along the coast that taste mostly very similar. Will be back.

I’m 29 and I’ve been to a lot of authentic Mexican restaurants and regular Mexican restaurants and this is hands down the best food I’ve ever had. The tacos were amazing all the meats were delicious. The rice and beans were delicious. The cheese dip is the best I’ve ever had. This is my new favorite place to eat. You will not be disappointed in the slightest. Also my mom got a margarita and it was perfect and beautiful presentation. This place deserves 10 stars and all the hype
