    Tripe
    David C.

    Ordered over the phone. They clearly knew I was American and had difficulty taking my order which was 1 lb of carnitas with tortillas and pick de gallo. Online it says $13. When I picked it up the price magically changed to $18. I was told it was a recent price change. At least half of the carnitas was tripe.. which is NEVER included in carnitas. If you are American.. they will rip you off.. STAY AWAY!!

    Top: tacos w/pastor & barbacoa. Center: Rice &beans and guac, along side hot sauces. Bottom: Shrimp tacos

    My husband and I were driving to Naples on the Tamiami Trail and after a long commute stopped at Chilakil for lunch. The restaurant is alongside a gas station on the main road, don't let this stop you from going in! We were pleasantly surprised at the design of the restaurant. It is eclectic- a bit modern, a bit traditional, but all well done and most important to us, very clean. There is adequate seating, even though some tables are unavailable to promote social distancing. There is also a walk-up-window outside if you prefer ordering your food and sitting on the back of your tailgate, or just hitting the road with your grub. They have an easy to read menu with both Spanish and English translation. I am a Pescatarian, so at times I feel limited in my options, but Chilakil had a good selection of plates that would fit into my diet. I decided on shrimp tacos with a side of rice and beans. My husband ordered 5 tacos: 2 barbacoa and 3 pastor. We also ordered guac & chips. So, first I will admit that our eyes were grander then our bellies because it was SO.MUCH.FOOD! For the price, we were expecting small street tacos, but that was not the case. The tacos were larger then expected, the tortillas hot and fresh and the guac was one of the best we had ever tried. I thoroughly enjoyed my shrimp tacos, rice and beans and while my husband enjoyed his plate, his preference of the two meats had he only had one option would be the pastor. We both enjoy spicy food, so we added their hot sauce to our tacos. If you like heat too, definitely ask for their hot sauces!! They are flavorful and pack a punch! If you are in the area going to or heading out of Naples, and have a hankering for authentic food served by very nice people, support the local economy and add Chilakil to your itinerary! You tastebuds will thank you!

    Ever since I moved to Florida about 11 years ago, I have always said up until today that I would never ever find authentic Mexican food in Florida. In a state saturated with Cuban cuisine and fusions, very few have claimed to be authentic Mexican and even come close to delivering. As I walked into this restaurant, a shabby, quiet, hole in the wall, the first thing I noticed was the aroma. It smelled like my mothers cooking when I lived in Arizona. I looked at the menu and so many viable options, at prices so low I thought there were multiple typos. The young lady suggested gorditas, one al pastor and the other barbacoa. They both delivered and for a second I felt that I was back in the west coast; enjoying a family dinner. I hate that I have worked in lely resort for three years and never discovered this place. It's amazing, and if you ever find yourself passing by, do a U turn and give it a try, and you won't be disappointed.

    This place had no reviews so I decided to try it and check it out and OMG it's a gem!!! The tacos are to die for, we had carnitas, lengua, barbacoa, buche, pastor, asada and we devour them, fresh corn tortillas, chips while we waited for our food, service was excellent and the food was ready within minutes!!! A true 5 stars for being authentic Mexican food, I believe they're from Michoacán. We live in Miami but we definitely will come back for more when we're down here

My wife and I had been here before & it was wonderful so it pains me to write this review; friendly, cheerful waitress, great service & the food was delicious. Not so much this time. It was crowded but we got a table right away. It took about 15 minutes for our drink order to come out, but it was kinda busy. After about another half hour, one of our four meals came out; then it was crickets. Our waitress never came back to the table; no one else made eye contact with us. We saw at least a dozen meals delivered to tables after we got our one meal, but no other meals or contact with us. After 20 minutes of waiting for the other 3 meals we cut our losses and went to the counter and asked for the bill. A man (appeared to be the owner) brought the bill out & offered a half hearted apology but no offer to comp us for the drinks (it looks like they did not charge for the meal we got). I realize things happen, but had this man (manager?) just apologized for what happened & told us that we owed nothing I honestly would have been ok with it and not even taken the time to write this review. However that wasn't the case. Like I said, our previous experience was great, so here's my recommendation: If they are not busy I'd suppose you will have a great experience; if busy you might want to pass...

We only wanted a variety of apps so she gave some good suggestions. She was attentive and efficient. The food she suggested: elote, very good! We did get the guac and chips too to use the chips with the elote. That was the problem. The guac was somewhat tasteless, but the chips were very bad. They tasted like they were made in old rancid oil and they make them onsite. They even smelled like old oil. We let her know and she brought a new batch. Still tasted bad. We suggested her to try them and she did and agreed they were not up to par. I felt the grease even coated my tongue. The cornbread was excellent. Because the chips were so bad we got the guac and rest of the elote to go so we can eat at home with some good chips. We got the bill and even though they agreed they weren't as good as normal they still charged us for everything. That is a problem. She should have had them take them off the bill. We still tipped 18% but that isn't good when they don't make it right. We may give them another chance but still charging males that less likely for sure.

Don't let the modest exterior fool you -- the food is outstanding. I ordered the American tacos, and they were superb. Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned meat, and great flavor in every bite. Everything tasted homemade and authentic, not rushed or overly commercial. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming -- exactly what you want from a neighborhood Mexican spot. If you're in East Naples and craving quality tacos, Taco Lindo delivers. I'll definitely be back.

We were served warm chips and flavorful salsa by our server, and the Mexican coke I got was a treat. The menu has a good selection of breakfast options, appetizers, Mexican tacos, Gordita's, quesadillas, burritos and other favorites. The chicken chimichanga I ordered was served with a tasty cheese sauce, a side of rice, beans and salad. The salad has a generous amount of guacamole, so if you like avocados, you'll be happy. Hubs got the chicken burritos and after trying a sample, I have to admit they're good, but different from burritos covered with red or green sauce. Portions are large, and I really like the hot sauce bar at the table, you have a choice of a lot of different flavors to make your meal more interesting. Prices are reasonable and the restaurant is clean with a pleasant atmosphere. An enjoyable place to have lunch.

The food is also always absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I have made it a point to come here every time we're in Naples, sometimes more than once, because it is THAT good and consistent.

My husband went to pick up our order to have the doors locked for a private party with a take out order sitting on the bar in plain view.He was totally ignored outside the door. I called to find out what was going on and was told there wasnt any pending orders, only a cancelled order. I called back after speaking with my husband again to say that there is clearly a take out order on the bar and was told again its a cancelled order. I stated im looking at my online order and it clearly at this address and my credit card was charged for my order. I was told that no, that was cancelled and their kitchen is closed anyway for the day. They said that the only thing they could do would be to fill the order tomorrow- which isnt really helpful at 830 tonight I asked to speak to a manager, and after a few minutes the same person returned to the phone. They suddenly were able to see my order - which was not cancelled on my end, but still stated that the kitchen was closed, and there was a private party so they unable to fill this order. I asked why were we able to order if they were closed- I was told that the system ordered it and charged my card, not them. They said all they could do was fill the order tomorrow or refund my money tomorrow. They also offered to pay me cash for my order tomorrow in the store instead of refunding my credit card When I said that is not acceptable they said they could call my order to a different restaurant and that we could go pick it up there. When questioned regarding the different name i was told its the same restaurant, same menu, different name. We decided after all to not bother with our order from here and went to a different restaurant all together as the whole thing left a bad taste in our mouth.. We will not be using this restaurant again even thought they are literally across the street from where we live as this just left me feeling uncomfortable-- and I still have to call my credit card to dispute the charges as the restaurant hasn`t done that
