Chilangos Mexican Grill definitely needs to be added to the list of phenomenal hole-in-the-wall restaurants!!! Even if you know the address, you may drive right past it. The restaurant is buried in a line of other businesses door-to-door from each other, and hidden behind shrubbery. Once you find it, you will know it. There are husband and bride skeletons on the floor in the window by the door. Once inside, we were greeted, and asked if our order was pickup. It was to go. The wonderful and very busy woman at the counter, offered the menu, but we already had one. She was busy not just taking orders, taking payments, and getting deliveries out the door, but mixing drinks, and taking care of tables! She was a one woman army! Outside looks small, and so does the inside. But the layout is done in such an effective way that it there is counter seating, and more than enough tables to host a small event. It is like a small living room that is still large enough to throw a decent party! The décor is authentically Mexican with Mexican pottery, glassware, imagery, decorations, etc. Regarding the food, it is as authentic as the décor. Chilangos Mexican Grill is not Taco Bell or Pollo Tropical! The food is made from the heart and soul not from a corporate cookbook. So if you are a fan of Mexican food, or want to try it, visit Chilangos Mexican Grill. You may have trouble finding it, but once you do, the trouble will be MORE THAN worth it!!! read more

Chilangos Mexican grill is the perfect small restaurant mom and pop vibe taco spot you can find around here. It was a little hard to find at first but once we sat down and ordered, we enjoyed every part of it! There is a nice variety of tacos so we kept on ordering and trying all of the different ones. Tortillas were nice and warm and didn't break apart, the proteins we got( Chorizo, chicken, Birria) were so flavorful and done so well. If you are a taco lover, you have to give this place a try! read more

This place was really hard to find in a small plaza but once you find it's a hidden gem. We had the birria and carne asada nachos and a kids grilled chicken meal with rice and beans and everything was delicious. They also give you complimentary chips which were good.

What a hidden gem hidden in a strip mall facing 441. Cute decorations and we were greeted and sat immediately. Within minutes we were welcomed with a warm basket of homemade tortilla chips and salsa. Delish! We both ordered a can of Tecaté (a steal at $3.50!), a side of guacamole and three tacos each. Still thirsty I decided on a Michelada. Completely did not expect the HUGE mug that arrived. Along with a tajin rim came a candied tamarind stirrer. read more

Chilangos is the Taco Tuesday spot in Plantation! Came here to celebrate National Taco Day, on the most ideal day of the week to celebrate- Taco Tuesday! I haven't been here before but after a quick search on Yelp, I heard about their iconic deals so we had to come. Although they don't have $1.50 tacos anymore, the 40% off tacos all day is still a great deal. Upon walking in, it was already crowded so we opted to order to-go. After sitting at the bar area, we decided to dine-in there and they were super accommodating. After seeing them make a frozen margarita, we asked to get one while waiting and it was delicious! For our order, we got three birria tacos, two al pastor, and two carne asada, plus an elote. The food was so good, and even if it took a bit to come out, the was worth the wait. The interior is so cute and you feel like you're transported to Mexico. There's color banners all across the inside and loteria art throughout the space. An ideal spot for Taco Tuesdays! read more

We have ordered take-out from this restaurant several times. Chicken tacos are not your usual Mexican tacos as they include lettuce, cheese, and sour cream but they're delicious! The steak taco is prepared more traditionally with onion and cilantro and the pork is like a mojo pork topped with tomatoes - very good. The food is almost always good but there are some inconsistencies - sometimes hard rice (iin the burritos), sometimes chewy/overcooked or fatty pieces of pork or steak. Take-out service is fast and convenient. read more

Hidden gem! Parked in the back and walked through the back door which led to this amazing taco place. This is hands down my favorite taco place. Taco Tuesdays they give you 40% off each tacos! My top tacos to get are the quesabirria that is served with the yummy consomme soup! Ahhh it's so good I'm drooling thinking about it. Can't go wrong with their steak tacos! I love the fish taco, one bite of that is like heaven. There's so much flavoring in this juicy taco! Lastly I get the suadero, this one is so good! Every taco is so fulfilling, and the servers are always so nice! There's parking in the back of the restaurant!! read more

My husband and I were craving something to eat when he came across this place on Yelp. We stopped by and parked in the back. There's parking in the front but it's pretty limited so I suggest parking in the back where there's plenty of parking spots. We walked in and were greeted quickly after we sat down and given tortilla chips with salsa verde. The chips were thick with a nice crunch to them, and the salsa was delicious. I had to stop myself from eating all the chips. My husband ordered a michalada. For $9, I think it's pretty fair pricing given the amount they give you and the sheer size of the cup! Which was adorned with a tamarind straw and a lime. We both decided to get some tacos. You can order them a la carte, and honestly, that was great because I just wanted a couple. I ordered the picadillo taco and a carnitas taco. My husband ordered a chorizo, cabeza, and a lengua taco. The tacos came out after a bit and were nice and warm. The meat was seasoned perfectly and was tender while the corn tortillas complimented each bite. The tacos definitely hit the spot. I really enjoyed the carnitas. The toppings tasted fresh and didn't overwhelm the amount of meat. We enjoyed eating in here as there were a few people in here eating, but it was pleasant and quiet during lunchtime. I can imagine things get busy at night! It's definitely worth stopping by. read more

Chilangos is always a great choice when you are in this area. The restaurant is charming and welcoming. Very unpretentious but with great quality food. The michelada is huge and very flavorful. Orchata and agua de Jamaica are always available, and the kids love them. I always think that their tacos are the best choice when coming here but have to say that the burritos are also very good. The service is fast and friendly. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food. If you haven't been here... give them a try. read more

We stopped at Chilangos on a drive from Florida to Illinois. We asked ChatGPT where we could get a salad close to where we were located in our trip. The answer was Chilangos! Now, ChatGPT didnt tell us that Chilangos is located in the same building as a gas station. We drove to the restaurant, and then turned around and wete going yo go to Logan's Steakhouse. Then we saw the reviews for Chilangos and turned around. The food was awesome! We really enjoyed the Mexican (chunky) guacamole. We ended up ordering an extra at the end of our meal to snack on. In addition, we ordered the Pollo, el pastor, and carne Asad tacos on homemade corn tortillas. They were great as well. My son enjoyed his chicken, shrimp, and jalapeño fajitas, too! Their rice and beans were yummy and flavorful. We were so stuffed we didnt even ask about dessert. Our server was quick, kind, and attentive. The prices were great. We will definitely be back on our trips through the area! read more

Hole in the wall but they delivered on food. When we walked in no one was there to greet us so we just grabbed an empty table and sat down. After a couple of minutes someone came out and gave us menus and took our drinks order. Chips and salsa were brought out- definitely had better and they were not fresh but still good. We ordered 6 tacos but 2 are missing in the picture. The best ones to get is carne asada, the piccadillo and the birria. Super flavorful, and while the tacos look like its a small portion it fills you up pretty quickly. The restaurant needs to do better about cleaning because while there was not many people there the floors and bathroom were dirty. read more

I found my favorite tacos spot!!! Not only because it truly feels like a hole in the wall being in a sketchy plaza, very limited parking, and ornate Mexican decor hiding how old the building really is, but because the tacos are legit the best I've ever had! Got the Quesobirria, Carne Asada, Pescado (Fish), and Lengua (my all time favorite!!) and they were all very delicious. Upon first bite of every taco, I just kept saying this will be my favorite Taco Tuesday joint because it's THAT good. So why minus a star? Welp, it may not have been as packed as I thought (perhaps because of the cold front) but it was still busy, as in every table was taken. The waitress, sweet and all, gave us the wrong drinks and was very busy. She only came to take our order and then to pick up our food. We wanted more tacos, which was quite the wait (understandably on a Taco Tuesday) but with the lack of attentiveness, we lost the appetite to order more after waiting. But that serves an important lesson... Don't buy just 4 tacos. Buy more and all in one go! Haha. I'll still come again because I'm not kidding when I said the tacos are that that good! Heck, I'd come back even without the 40% off Tacos deal on Taco Tuesday -- the menu looks yummy and authentic! read more

The food is very yummy with lots of options. As someone married to a Mexican I'm well versed in their cuisine and was impressed by the options they had. I wouldn't say it's the best Mexican in the area but will satisfy most taco needs I went during lunch and it was not busy and service was friendly and attentive but I have also been during busy hours such as taco Tuesday and the service could have used some work. The ambiance feels very Mexican which to me is always a plus as some Mexican spots just feel Latin but not Mexican if that makes sense? But overall good experience and will be back read more

Tacos were phenomenal. Highly recommend and glad I was introduced to this place by a good friend.

They have the best ibirria tacos anywhere. The service is friendly. Not much ambiance but as long at the food is good......

This month our group of friends decided to go to Chilangos Mexican restaurant. It's a hole in the wall gem like there are a lot in Greece and Italy. The food is authentic and delicious, we had without a doubt the best tacos in South Florida and fajitas. The decor is like a movie set of a Mexican action thriller!!! Ambiance is relaxed. Our server Veronica, was friendly, very efficient, and professional. We all enjoyed our dinners!! It's 300 meters South of the Wawa on the 441. Not easy to find at first. read more

Went to this place on a Saturday afternoon and was seated promptly. The waitress was nice and made recommendations of what she liked when I asked her. They don't offer a kids menu so my daughter got the flautas adult meal which as you can see was a large portion but was very good. My Birria burrito was so good. I ate every last bite and stuffed myself to finish it. Perfect amount of flavor and amazing consommé. No grills kind of place but decently decorated. I would go back because it was a nice vibe and the food was good. About 20 cops came by for lunch so you know it's good if cops eat there!!! read more

We wanted Mexican afood off the hogheay and this stop did not disappoint! A smaller restaurant with excellent service and outstanding authentic Mexican food. Everything was packed with fresh ingredients and flavor galore. I suggest the tinga chicken (flavor popping) or birria (consomme deep with flavor). Don't leave without at least one taco! Honestly everything the four of us had was something we would come back for. A must-visit in Plantation. read more

Went for a quick lunch, the place is nice with your usual mexican decorations, the server was friendly and sat us and came back quickly with water, tortilla chips and a green salsa. We ordered the elote which was ok, we also had the birria tacos and were really good. We also ordered horchata and it was just ok, i love horchata and this one was just bland. The ambiance was ok, we came for lunch so it was kinda of quiet with typical mexican decorations, latin music playing in the background. Good mexican food for the price. read more

They made some changes and I'm glad to report back that we have our favorite place back!!! Phone calls have been better, wait times have been told and match the pickup time (before it was 15/20 but we waited an additional 30+), birria tacos made with LOVE, and we are soooo glad. Sometimes it takes growing pains to get it down pat and so good to see our favorite spot worked through it! read more

Chilangos is a must try! Very small family restaurant but definitely a lot of traffic especially on Taco Tuesday. Although the tacos could have been a bit bigger, the food was amazing! The service was good as well.

First found this place on a google whim searching Mexican food close by. We've been here 3x since because it is so good and feels like I'm in Mexico. The burritos are real fat!!

Always get the carnitas tacos!!! read more

A coworker of mine recommended this place and I'm so happy she did because this had turned out to be my wife and I new favorite Mexican restaurant. Sooo happy we live close by because we will be coming here very often. The margaritas were strong and delicious. They were priced well as well. And the food was amazing. We ordered the corn, queso fundido and a few tacos. My favorite taco I ordered was the cabeza and the lengua. Soooo good. And my wife died with the quest fundido because they did not go cheap on the cheese. We loved this place. Very authentic. If you have not tried this place let this be your sign to get in your car and drive here now!! You will not regret it!! read more

My first time trying a birria taco, and I wasn't disappointed! The quesabirria had cheesy goodness and was an elevated version! My husband ordered 4 tacos, he said the pollo and al pastor were his favorite, and he also got chorizo and carnitas but said they tasted very similar. The elote was a delicious treat as well! We got the plantain dessert and churros with Nutella. It was just alright. I'd recommend skipping the dessert and getting more birria tacos! The service was really good, they were attentive and got our food out very quickly. It's a small spot with a few tables inside, but it wasn't super crowded so it was fine. They also had picnic tables out front if you want to since outside. It's a good local hidden gem for tacos that I will definitely be back for. I'd like to try it on taco Tues when they have discounted prices! read more

Lovely little hidden gem. My fiance and I are in town from NY to scuba dive. He is Spanish and wanted to come here based on good reviews. We were disappointed. We both had two tacos. Beef shrimp and fish. All were fresh, light, and rich in flavor. We were both very satisfied. I will say, it smelled like a public bathroom in there. So they might wanna work on that but the food came well made, service was good and fast. Perfect little quick lunch. read more

Chilangos. You already know tho. The best tacos in SoFlo. For the price of tacos on a Tuesday it's hard to compete. 1.50 each taco. Even for their infamous birria taco. Honestly it doesn't even have to be Tuesday and I would still pay regular price for these tacos. Every taco I tried there has been seasoned to perfection. Each with its own flair and complements. My favorite is the quesabirria and it also comes with a side of consume (the dip). The next best thing is the fish which has some amazing flavoring. The steak and head tacos don't miss either. I don't think you can go wrong with any taco. If you dine in, you also get complimentary chips and salsa. The best part is the chips are made from scratch!! Food comes out fast and they give you big water cups so most likely you won't be asking for a refill. Staff members are very friendly and the mamas in the kitchen are hard working. 10/10 would recommend supporting this local taco shop read more

Chilangos Mexican Grill - Quesobirria - Mexican Near Me - Plantation, Florida

This experience was not as expected, being that I was originally going to another Mexican restaurant but changed to Chilangos when I saw they sold Pozole. When my girlfriend and I walked in it was about an hour till closing and we were greeted by the woman at the front. She was friendly but I could tell it was ran closely by family so the stares that we received from the others as guests were just a little intimidating, and because of that we ended up ordering to go instead. We ordered the burrito, which was super flavorful and filling, the taco plate, tostadas & chips and salsa but was missing the tostadas & salsa in the bag unfortunately. I also did try the Pozole and it was okay, didn't taste as authentic as I expected though. I was kinda bummed as I did spend over $60 but I definitely would order the burrito again :) read more

Had a great experience at chilangos! It's an unexpecting authentic small restaurant offering unique tacos. They serve the all so desire birria tacos here as well as your typical beef tacos such as carne asada. I really enjoyed the birria tacos. They were crispy and served with a flavorful broth. I also tried the carne asada and brisket tacos BUT the taco that took the prize was the CABEZA TACO. Yes it's a taco filed with meat from the head. they often run out of the meat for this taco early so if you ha e the chance to try it, I highly recommend them. The meat is buttery and rich. The tortillas are very delicate so be gentle! The salsas are also very good. I really enjoyed the fresh flavor of the green salsa on my tacos. Chilangos is def worth visiting for you taco needs! read more

The birria tacos are amazing here! The refried beans were delicious. They start you with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips are thick and freshly fried. The salsas are green and a light red. We requested pico for an additional 75 cents. It was super fresh. We had great service. We were the only diners on a Sunday at 12:30 PM. For $14 we had four tacos, waters, refried beans, and the pico. The reasons for the two star deduction: When we walked in, the restaurant had a non-appealing odor to it. It didn't smell like food or cleaner. Not sure what it was, but not a good smell for a restaurant. The carne asada tacos were not made with the best quality meat. My guest and I both had bones/fat on the meat we had to spit out. The meat had great flavor though! They have a few tables outside and a full indoor dining room. Tuesdays they offer $1.50 tacos (all flavors). We parked on the south side of the building. read more
