The Only Review You Need To Read…read more We decided to experiment with a new place to go for Mexican food today. There appeared to be a lot of businesses geared towards the Hispanic crowd along Kenilworth Avenue, so we stopped off at what looked like a good sized restaurant in a little strip plaza next to an international grocery store. We walked in the entrance, past the old cash register and TouchTunes digital jukebox and we were seated at a booth; socially distant from the couple of other patrons. Menus, chips & salsa and drinks were delivered quickly, then we placed our orders. Let's talk about the food (or at least what I ordered). The chips & salsa were good, though my daughter was quick to point out that the chips & salsa at another restaurant (the one with a red pepper as their logo) are better because the chips are served warm. They were out of soup which came with my entree, so I opted for a salad which....was fine at first, but it was wet. Dripping wet. So wet that as I got to the bottom of my salad, there was a small puddle of water in my plate. Plus it wasn't really leafy salad; it was shredded lettuce. Now the main course - the Del-Rio (cheese enchiladas with a hard taco, a pile of cooked ground beef, beans and rice. Some of the other reviews pointed out that they are generous with the cheese at this place, and I thought, "You say that like it's a bad thing - bring it on!" And they did; they were probably the cheesiest cheese enchiladas I've ever had, and that's not a complaint. My girlfriend couldn't handle the amount of cheese on her chili rellenos, but I had no problem with it. I would have preferred chicken enchiladas underneath all of that craziness, but I didn't see that on their menu (though I probably could have asked for it). Overall, the enchiladas were fine, rice & beans were fine, the taco fell apart after my first bite, but I shoveled it down and it was fine, and the ground beef was fine. I walked out of there fully stuffed and my appetite completely satiated. Everyone at my table was in agreement - the food was fine, but the experience was not enough to warrant a drive all the way back down there again specifically just to eat there. Mind you; we lived in Los Angeles for decades, so the bar is set pretty high for us as far as Mexican cuisine goes. However, this place has been in business (supposedly) for well over 60 years, so apparently they must be doing something right.

Wish they'd reopen. It was the best Mexican food around. Real Mexican not food from other Latin…read morecountries

The chips and salsa were okay, I'd give it a 6/10 because it wasn't that flavorful for an appetizer. I got a Large Passionfruit Margarita with sugar on the rim and got salt; not a big deal personally because the drink was strong enough. Now onto the food. I ate all 4 chicken tacos immediately and they were a 9/10. They come with tomatoes on the side and avocado on top and a green salsa. It took a while for the food to come after the drinks but it was worth the wait. The service seems pretty decent if you're not in a rush. Will come back for the margaritas for sure

They just need more veggies so that you can really have your way with the sauce. Skip the guac... it needs more avocado and flavor. The Tamal de Elote is also very yummy. Ate it too fast, forgot to take a pic. The service is great, there are plenty of waitstaff floating around. The parking lot can get crowded but there's plenty of parking across the street if needed. Ambiance is fun. It's super loud in the restaurant, partially because of the plethora of Happy Birthday performances with the instruments and all. Honestly, just join in the singing and clapping. Why not.

Decided to come to Chidos for HH since I had a class in the area…read more HH is from 1-6pm and since I had a late day at the office, I was pressed for time. I looked at the menu ahead of time and my homegirl sent me pictures to confirm. This way I already knew what I wanted (flautas & passionfruit margs) I came in, sat down and waited for a bartender to acknowledge our look my way so I could order. I was able to get my order in just in time and informed them I'd need a refill before it was over. My flautas came out as two taquitos cut in half and I just laughed. Barely any lettuce piled on top with sour cream and salsa on the side. Really, two tortillas rolled around chicken and cheese. It was hilarious. It was just barely much food at all and I didn't want to try anything else so just asked for my refill. Check came and got charged full price. When I asked about it, I was given a smart response and told they wouldn't take it off again like they were doing me a favor or I was trying to get over SMH They're lucky that passionfruit marg was hitting or it would have been challenging to go back.

It's a hole in the wall! But hole in the walls are sometimes gems! I was the only female customer at 6ish. Quite a few men in the restaurant. The ladies working there are super nice, and attentive. Let's Get Into It! Cheese Enchilada - Met expectations. The chili sauce is not spicy and they made that enchilada cheesy! Fajitas- Met expectations. I have had better fajitas honestly but these weren't bad. Price point: Very Inexpensive for the amount of food! Overall, the place is decent. It has a El Salvadoran menu and Mexican menu, which for me I'm not a fan of. The Mexican dishes were okay but their tortillas were more thick and El Salvadoran style. I wouldn't return as the food was just okay for my liking. There were loud men singing at the top of their lungs like they were on the Latin Voice and that was off putting. I get it, they are having fun, but it wasn't karaoke night and was disturbing. I left after two songs of the man singing, thankfully I was already done. Definitely worth a try though for others.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, a little after peak lunch hours. The parking lot was full and the restaurant, bustling. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and upon walking inside, it transports you. I ordered 4 different tacos- chorizo, asada, lengua, and al pastor- and a tamarind agua fresca. My friend got the shrimp sopes. The food came out quick and super fresh! The plate came with two salsas and I got more at their salsa bar at the front. Honestly, wasn't crazy about any of them (I tried 6!), which was the biggest disappointment of tbe meal. The tacos were otherwise good and lots of flavor. I was so happy they included the roasted onions, too. There were other menu items that looked phenomenal but will definitely try whenever I came back!

The actual restaurant/bar drinks and bathrooms is the issue needs to definitely be updated. So back to the good part of the review: the food. Now I love me some Birria tacos and usually they are the size of a small corn tortilla...but not these! When she brought me out these ginormous (3) tacos I couldn't believe my eyes! They were the size of my open hand past my wrist! Now my pictures don't do them any justice because it took me 2-3 days to finish them and the side of Mexican rice which was also so big! So be aware that you will have food to take home for lunch or to eat later as I'm a grazer myself...lol. Now the margaritas were not good at all and tasted premade which for an authentic Mexican a spot as this seems to be should be a no-no! I did like the salsa that tasted homemade and asked if I could take a side of it home! As usual I love finding a diamond in the rough and this is definitely it! Great food and service horrible margaritas.

I really love the ambience of the restaurant where you have seating for both the bar (where you can enjoy music and pool) as well as the restaurant side where you can sit and dine or wait for a pick up order. The staff is great! I really enjoy the main hostess as they are very hospitable and accommodating. This evening, we sat at the bar and ordered lots of great food, especially the Birria tacos and quesadillas. The consume was just the right consistency! I will say that my only issue is that the bar does not have enough options for various types of drinks - were so being able to modify classic cocktails I definitely will be back and have been back to order carry out however eating and it's my preference.

We wound up picking the fish out and feeding it to the cat, the rest was fit only for the garage disposal. The tasty Cadillac margaritas during our 45 minute wait was what saved them from a 1 star review. Bottom line: Don't trust them with carry out or delivered orders

However, the waitress was excellent with providing order recommendations and ensuring that we were taken care of. Drinks: I ordered the ranch water which wasn't anything spectacular. Just a simple non-sugary drink to enjoy while dining. I opted out of the fajitas but the rest of my party loved the steak and shrimp fajitas, which were part of the fajitas 2 deal. Plenty to share and I heard that the steak was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was seasoned well. I ordered the taco salad and that dish was PHENOMENAL! There is something to be said about a wet salad which manages to hold some crunchy texture to the taco strips. Also, it was perfectly chopped and all ingredients were mixed together so well. To complete the dish, I ordered a side of rice and chicken. Both were delicious but the chicken portion could use some work. Overall I'm curious to try their breakfast tacos so count me in on returning! They also offer a great happy hour so I recommend stopping by to enjoy their bar or even their cute outdoor seating.
