    This place was such a surprise! Hidden in the back of a little plaza, this super busy and popular spot for lunch really impressed me. The folks behind the counter were above and beyond kind and helpful, offering me suggestions on what to order. This was during a lunch rush! The food was absolutely delicious, with the birria tacos being my favorite choice. There is a large space for eating in, but they are quick and easy for a takeout lunch. The space is very clean and decorated beautifully. Also, there is alcohol available! That's always nice lol...

    Steak and Barría Taco

    Both myself and my dining partner ordered 1 Steak and 1 Birria Taco. Mine were ordered with no onion (always get the order wrong), and they nailed it. The steak tacos were good, a little bit dry, but still flavorful and with a little drip of the birria consommé from the birria taco's side, it was quite the delight. Will definitely be back for more.

    Best food I've ever had in my entire life. Everything was cooked to perfection. Service was amazing and the place is pretty on the inside.

    One of my favorite places for a date or to bring friends! I feel like I'm always talking about how…read moremuch I love it here. The menu is small and yet there's always plenty of yummy things to try when I go, even as a picky eater. There are multiple vegetarian and even a vegan option or two. I always have to get the guac when I come here - it's the perfect amount of creaminess without too much onion. Their red salsa is a great slightly chunky - slightly juicy texture and has a bit of a kick. The vegan burrito bowl is my go-to as a vegetarian, and the street corn side as an app is elite! It is a little spicier these days since the recipe was updated from on the cob to off the cob (I much prefer off for ease of eating and sharing!) The Coconut Cartel margarita was creamy and smooth and went down *quick* haha. Others in my party loved the spicy Margarito, although they were out of the main spicy tequila but the servers offered substitute recommendations. I came with a very large work group today, and the servers were so patient and flexible when we asked for modifications from the menu. I even was able to order the queso dip with the chorizo on the side (yummy but very thick cheese dip!), and they were very attentive of my colleague's mushroom allergy and made sure she got dedicated dishes, even when we were all sharing apps. The churro donuts seem to have changed recipe and got mixed reviews - some thought they were dry, another says she Uber Eats just those regularly Sitting outside in the summer on the patio is nice. Tasty, interesting dishes with modern urban twists on Mexican recipes. Truly the only slight downside is that sometimes parking can be tricky in this area, but you can always find free street parking, it may just take you a little bit. Even the funky and creative decor is a selling feature for me. A must-try!

    DELICIOUS! Their happy hour has changed a bit but they are still as good as ever- they even now let…read moreyou mix and match tacos for a platter- yay! Fantastic service and cool bar area- I always recommend this place to friends who are in the area! *Crispy fish tacos are still my favorite item on the menu. Carnitas tacos are my 2nd favorite but I need to try their Al Pastor next time! They also have really good chips and guacamole.

    I found Chilangos by serendipity: we were looking for a Mexican restaurant that was open on Tuesday…read moreand we liked the menu on the website because the food was true Mexican food, not the usual Americanized Mexican. So we took a chance. And we were not at all disappointed! First, we were greeted warmly, in a genuine way, by the owner. They seemed genuinely glad to have us. The older gentleman was friendly and playful towards my son. The food was delicious! I had enchiladas with housemate mole. The mole was fantastic: complex and nuanced. My daughter had enchiladas verde, which was smothered in a poblano salsa that was also complex, with great green heat. My son ordered the arracherra, a peppercorn rubbed steak served with homemade guacamole and a delicious cactus salad. I was tempted by several other dishes, particularly the enchiladas mineras (beef cheeks - yum!). All in all, a warm, welcoming, delicious experience that made me want come back. And I will.

    I used to come here all the time when I lived in Providence. In the three times I've been back over…read morethe last few years, I've had a couple stellar experiences and one subpar experience. But I'm someone that believes anyone can have an off day so overall this place is really great. First and foremost, get the margarita. They are the best I've ever had. Also, get the tacos. Even as an app they're so great. I got the shrimp and a veg recently. I've enjoyed all of the entrees I've ever gotten. Honorable mention is the shrimp Diablo. Super spicy and delightful. The interior is warm, cozy, and a perfect combo of lit enough so you can see but dark enough to set a mood for spilling tea or flirting with your date. Equal parts good for girls night and good for date night. The not so great: I got flautas once and they fell flauta (haha). Also, it's sometimes a one man show so service can be slow especially if you need refills so be sure to order multiple drinks at a time, or better yet a pitcher. Street parking can be a real pain but sometimes you get lucky on a side street. Definitely worth a visit if you've never been!
