    Chilangos exterior.
    Elizabeth F.

    Chilangos, everybody raves about this place. And so here is my contrary review (informed by years of living in AZ and CA, and well, eating more than a little of this genre of food)... First of all: Confusing. You walk in the front door at corner of Mich. Ave. and Mechanic St. in downtown Jackson, and the place is a disheveled mess --- what normally would be a combined dining and serving area is a jumbled collection of storage and serving/front of house items. It looks abandoned or just not open. Confusing and unprofessional. Next: You walk back to the side door area; this is where the food action is at, but only one (surly) employee is there to help you (to order and build/serve) the somewhat appetizing array of meats, veggies, toppings, and sauces. However, it does not smell good (or any way at all) like a facility of this quality and type of food should -- it should smell like pepper and spices and fresh ingredients. Outside there are three lime green picnic tables that are filthy. 3 other employees are loitering out there -- not saying hello or making any effort to offer normal professional restaurant hospitality to paying customers. Also, the 3 did not go back inside, to help the one buffet employee to serve food, when a small line of customers (3-4) queued up inside. You have to pay .25 cents for a cup of water. There are no utensils (the dispenser is out). There are only napkins. A bum is pacing in front of the front door, he now slides into the side door and awaits his food, because you (me) stupidly promised to buy him a taco. The 3 employees outside don't care, and keep chatting away, eating pistachios and ignoring both guests and their peer-worker. Then there's the food itself: I ordered a small Chorizo and Potato taco -- I tried to request certain toppings ('con ensalada, tomates, queso') but the guy was like: 'I don't understand you.' He corrected my Spanish in a snarky way, telling me he thought I meant 2 tacos; (he corrected: 'lechuga, tomate, cebolla, avocate'... etc.). Instead of being a pleasant exchange with a customer, it was awkward. The taco was tasteless-- which is weird because chorizo is normally nice and seasoned. It was also terribly small, but for around $4.00 I guess it was average. My son got a burrito that was very wet and falling apart -- again no fork/knife to eat it with so a big sloppy mess. He said it was okay in terms of freshness and taste -- about a 4 out of 10. It cost about $12.00. The homeless guy did not offer any comments on the taste or quality of his food -- so IDK what he thought. In all, I just wish D/T Jax had a Quality Dairy -- a simple store to go into to get a fountain drink (Coke) and a bag of chips and maybe a sandwich. You can skip Chilangos -- go to the Hot Dog place for a Coney, or the Dirty Bird for fried dill pickles -- better food, better service, better environment.

    Amazing. Friendly staff. Delicious. I think people judge places unfairly, not considering the costs of ownership. These people are killing it for what they have. It's a Mexican restaurant that Mexicans love - that should tell you everything.

    I was in Jackson to visit one of my friend and he suggested this place for dinner. This place is in downtown jackson and there is plenty of parking everywhere. We wanted to get a burrito but, they were out of tortilla so we ended up getting a burrito bowl. We got chicken as meat and the meat was tender snd succulent. Overall, I enjoyed the food. Some of my complaints about this place is lack of up keep. The place you order the food kind of looks dirty and you can see things scattered all of the cooking area. Then in the dining area we had to switch tables 3 times. First one was wobbling and second was really stickey. Napkins actually stuck to the table. And the third table was less stickey. This restaurant has a lot of potential if the put some effort.

    Great food, very large burritos so big two could split one and be fine. Not the cheapest burritos in town but well worth it.

    Friendly staff and food looked fairly good, but I'm not paying $14 for a takeout burrito unless there a margarita and beach view to go with.
