    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

    Food was delicious but the ambience lacked character. Had the chile relleno and the flavor was very good.

    No ice tea or diet drinks. Our food not very good. More expensive than most Mexican restaurants.

    We ate here Wednesday night and it is by far the best meal we have had…read more We sat outside on the patio with a great view of the water and we could hear the music at Celebration Park. Our server Mike, did an excellent job taking care of us. We started off with a couple cocktails. I had an Old Fashioned and my wife had the Not Bogged Down. For dinner I had the Chorizo Encrusted Red Snapper and my wife had one of the specials which was the Tripletail. She said it was the best seafood dish she has ever had. For dessert, we split the special Crème Brûlée topped with diced fruit. We enjoyed the dessert so much, we purchased one for a sweet family of four sitting next to us. Our server Mike and the owner, Barry, helped make that happen and we appreciate it.

    Service was excellent. Ambiance was perfect…read more And the cocktails were expert level. I wish I lived in Naples so I could visit here once a week until I have tried all their cocktails. Craft cocktails with homemade syrups, tinctures, house infused spirits, house blend vermouth, house blend bitters. Whoever runs their drinks program is paying attention & serving up delicious & unique drinks. It's becoming more rare to visit a restaurant that feels like someone's singular vision for a neighborhood or community (instead of a corporate venture). This place is unique & elegant but approachable & welcoming. Highly recommend.

    I live in NYC and I have been told in several occasions that Mexican food is not all that here…read more Based on our experience on this last trip to FL... I can see why people say that! LOL! I usually say that a Mexican restaurant is not authentic if they don't use two corn tortillas for each taco and meats they offer are only steak, chicken and shrimp... and Garibaldi delivers on the variety. I went with Tacos de Tripa (Intestines) and we ordered a Molcajete de mariscos (Seafood). I liked my plate... did not love it; the Tripe was nice a crunchy, but as a whole, the tacos were dry (They also only use one tortilla/taco... authentic?... lol!) They needed sauce... unless they intend for the customer to use the sauces provided for the nachos on tacos as well?... maybe (which I did to a certain extend). I had never seen a "Molcajete" dish... cool presentation. Did no care for the nopales (cactus), but everything else in the dish is pretty great. The place is decorated in a seemingly "culturally appropriate" way :) and there is a bakery section right at the entrance. I'd definitely swing by next time I am in the area!

    Great service, over-the-top Mexican decor and most importantly, wonderful food. We've driven by…read morethis restaurant for a couple of years but decided to try it. Lucky us. The carnitas tacos were flavorful and moist. The guacamole was rich and delicious. Looks like we found our new Mexican hangout!
