    The wings were fresh and tasty. There is ample outdoor and indoor seating. Margaritas and an old fashion is what I ordered. The bathrooms are very clean. If you park in the ramp they will validate up to two hours.

    Heard about this spot when it was kind of new. Took a friend on her birthday. I'd suggest making reservations as I did. Great location for views of the lake from the patio. Beautiful restaurant on the inside, perfect for date night. Staff was friendly and helpful as it was both of our first time there. Had a few different dishes and some drinks. Drinks were strong and delicious. Food was decent, nothing special and was kind of spendy. Overall good experience, just might need to try some other items on the menu, or might try their happy hour.

    I recently visited Chilango in Minneapolis for a friend's birthday and had high hopes going in because I have such fond memories of Urban Eatery which was in that same location. I was really rooting for Chilango to carry on that good energy. We shared the Papas Machas to start, and damn they were absolutely delicious. As much as I love my friends, I would've been perfectly happy devouring that whole plate on my own. That dish was definitely the highlight of the night. For my main, I ordered the fish tacos, and... they were fine. Not bad, just kind of underwhelming. I wouldn't order them again. I also ordered a side of the praised pinto beans, and while the portion was generous, the flavor didn't really land for me. That said, I took them home, added a little salt the next day, and they weren't bad. One of my friends got the tuna tostada and let me try a bite and it was excellent. Super fresh with a lime-forward flavor that really popped. We shared the tres leche and that was also really good! All in all, I'm glad I tried it, but I'm not in a rush to return. If I had to choose between coming back, going to a favorite spot, or trying something new, I'd probably lean toward the latter two.

    Stopped in last night for a friends birthday! Ambiance great decor and muscular. They were already seated when I came In, but server was prompt the minute i sat down asked if I wanted a drink and throughly went through the menu. We started with the papas machas that have a great kick- perfect app to share with three people. 5/5. Tuna had to much guac that took over the tuna flavor 3/5z My drink of the day was a strawberry daiquiri usually frozen cocktails are light with alcohol but this had a nice booze kick after each sip. My friend had fish tacos she said she would not order again nothing special or unique 2/5. I had fajitas steak cooked well but didn't have a ton of flavor and the onions were chewy 3/5. The star was the camarones had generous amount of shrimp and cooked perfectly. Overall would rate 3.5/5!

    My husband & I have eaten at Chilango twice now with groups of friends and had great experiences both times. The chef, Jorge Guzman, has a number of JBFA nominations and previously lead the kitchens at Surly's Brewer's Table and Petite Leon. Food highlights - our absolute favorites from the menu are the sikil pak and camarones al diablo. Ordered both dishes both times we've been there and they have been consistent preparations across visits, plus tons of flavor. Ordered a burger to split 4 ways with our friends last visit and loved it so much we ordered a second one to take home for a late night snack. Didn't think the wings or fajitas were anything to write home about. We've gotten the queso twice, once with the brisket and once without. I actually preferred the queso on its own without the brisket, thought the brisket added a greasy element that I didn't care for, plus it could've benefited from a strong pinch of salt. In terms of starters, I love the sikil pak, a smoky, well spiced dip made from pepitas. Highly recommend starting your meal with this! The piquillo peppers stuffed with goat cheese are a strong second pick, they were delicious. I was craving something sweet at the end of our last meal, so we ordered a slice of the basque cheesecake to share. It was decadent in the best way possible, rich but not too sweet, with a vanilla poppyseed crumble on top that added a delightful texture to each bite. They also have an excellent lineup of cocktails and mocktails - don't miss out on their strawberry lemonade, it was one of the best iterations of that drink that I've tried. Friendly, efficient service and a beautiful space filled with plants and murals. It's a good spot to celebrate special occasions. They will validate your parking if you park inside the Calhoun Beach Club ramp, but we've always easily found a spot to park on the metered street parking around the restaurant.

    Our second visit, mostly new menu and even better than our first visit. The Tuna Tostada was a revelation - a beautiful melding of spice and lime with the satisfying chew of the tin on a fantastic tostada. My Camarones al Diablo had an excellent heat that built nicely as I worked through the dish and the shrimp with the masa panisse in that smoky sauce was stellar. The Pollo Pollo was a delicious dish as well. The biggest surprise was the Frijoles Charros - so, so tasty. Ask your server for some chips to dip in them! As always, the service was excellent and don't forget to have them validate your parking ticket for the attached parking garages

    Happy hour is where it's at. Great deals on good drinks and food. Great for an after work bite and cocktail. The service is wonderful and the menu is fantastic. I had fajitas and they were very good.

    I was really excited to try this place, but found it to be really underwhelming in a lot of ways. we went on a Saturday at 6:15 with a reservation at this time. despite this, we did not get seated until 6:40. I don't think I have ever had to wait that long for a table while having a reservation. there isn't really a designated waiting area, so there was just a crowd of people gathered at the entrance, which I'm sure got in the way for servers and staff. The food was also pretty underwhelming. We tried both the fish and brisket tacos, and both were relatively small portions with very basic flavors for the price. we also tried the shrimp entrée, which was $34 and was not very filling or extremely flavorful. Honestly, I would probably not return to this place. The thing I enjoyed the most was the mystery drink, which for $10 was a great deal and very tasty. our server was also very friendly.

    The ambiance was clean with nice art. Services was nice, nothing of a stand out. The food was flavorful and fresh. However, the brisket tacos are dry and definitely benefit from a salsa. We did have to request this as a side and were charged extra. I definitely feel that this should be included with your tacos. The drinks were clean not overly sweet. Overall, would try again.

    I was bummed to miss the elite event but their happy hour was great. The patio seating was nice and service was great. The wings were well seasoned and the fish tacos had a kick to them. The Brussels sprouts were delicious. The oysters were briney and full of flavor. They will validate parking up to 2 hrs at Beach Club Residence garage.

    Service was good. Food was cool. Nothing I need to run back for. We also found it overpriced for the quantity/quality.

    Inside

    We lucked out and got parking on the street by the restaurant. It was going to be a four star experience but the manager definitely made it a five star night. We had reservations and when we got there (on time), we still had to wait about 20 minutes before being seated. The place was packed, we were hungry, and I was starting to get frustrated. I do have to say though, that the interior was beautiful. Once we were seated, my husband eagerly ordered his food, fish tacos, while I was still looking at the menu. I felt pressured to pick something so I ordered the papas machas and nachos. I really wanted the enchiladas verdes but I didn't get a chance to read the ingredients. The papas machas were SPICY but we love spicy foods. Honestly, I could have ordered two of these and called it a day, it was so good. I didn't try his fish tacos but he said they were fantastic! The nachos were pretty standard but I was still thinking about those enchiladas. As we were talking to one of the managers, we realized how special this restaurant was and their customer service in the back was nothing short of amazing. I was able to try the enchiladas verdes and it was everything I hoped it would be. Wow. It was a Disneyland of flavors. The choco taco just hit right. It reminded me so much of the ones I used to get at the gas station when I was a kid. I would fly back to Minnesota in a heartbeat to eat this all over again.

    Chilango has been on my radar for a while and I finally found some time to go! I'm absolutely glad I did! Only issue I had was that there was a large event taking place during our dinner, so it was loud and there were a lot of people coming and going, and crowding around our bar (we were in a booth near the bar). It would've been nice to know ahead of time so we could have come earlier or later. Overall, the service was friendly and attentive. Let's talk about the food: Chile Con Queso: 5/5. Simple and delicious. Guacamole: 5/5. Fresh and delicious. Our table devoured this. Brussel Sprouts: 5/5. The perfect side dish, but can also be eaten as an appetizer. YUM. NY Strip: 5/5. This is a big dish, so my husband and I split it. The steak was cooked to perfection and was incredibly delicious. The flavors were explosive. Probably the best thing on the menu, but I still have a handful of things left to try!

I'm fancy, so I wanted something a bit more upscale. I did a little bit of research and wouldn't you know it... Colita came up. So here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set south of downtown and a bit west of The Mall of America on Penn Avenue is this gem. There is no private parking lot, but plenty of street parking to leave your fly ride. But once you walk up to the restaurant you can immediately understand the message they're trying to send. Everything looks so modern, straightforward with straight lines, grey colors and light woods. There is a small outdoor section where you can dine if you get lucky enough to land a spot there. Inside carries a very similar style with a little nod to the pueblos and architecture of the southwest. The decor is minimalistic and the "loudest" thing in the room is the live plant wall seated directly behind the bar, which was super cool. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. Food/Drink: I was able to try so many different dishes and drinks here and the list is below... : Xochitl In Love : La Clandestina : Tuna Tostada : Chicken Tinga Tostada : Seared Scallops : Tlayuda : Colita Old Fashioned : Lamb Barbacoa Tacos : Duck Tamal However, my favorite things were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, Duck Tamal and Seared Scallops, in that order. The food here is phenomenal, the drinks are excellently crafted and things are served tapas style so you don't get too full off of just one thing! Order a whole bunch of stuff and share with the table! Value: As I mentioned earlier, I wanted upscale and the priced dddooo reflect that. Lol. This is a nice place so be prepared to spend...
