Came here with a group of 4 on a random Thursday around 5. Place was empty so we got seated right away and the food came out fast. Got carne asada tacos and the choriqueso. Choriqueso was really good and came with a side of black beans. Tacos were good, nothing crazy. Waitress was nice. Green salsa comes in these super tiny containers. I like a lot of salsa, so we asked for more and she kindly gave us more but kind of weird they don't give out more. Seems wasteful to use the small containers. Bring cash because there is a cash discount. Gratuity on parties of 4 and over. read more

I was craving Mexican seafood and was so excited that I found this place. The reviews were promising so I decided to stop by for dinner. The waitresses were kind and quick to take my order. I ordered a simple fried fish and a queso for an appetizer. The queso was simple and just ok. The salsas were not spiced at all and were very watery. The dish came and it was extremely greasy, I get that it's a fried dish but at least let some of the oil drip off before plating. I used several napkins to try to take off some of the excess oil. The fries were very soggy and not seasoned at all and the fish looked appetizing but when I bit into it, it had no flavor whatsoever. The texture was there and it looked like it was going to taste good but it fell extremely short in taste. On the flip side, the beans were overly seasoned. The rice was also lacking salt. I felt bad when the waitress came to ask me how everything was. I had to tell her that they completely forgot to season my food. She apologized and I said it wasn't her fault and asked for my check and told her she might want to tell the chef to not forget the salt next time. Overall the place was nice for group gatherings, although the music was a little loud, they also had several TVs playing different things. Maybe I selected the wrong dish but I have to say I won't be going here again when I want a good Mexican seafood. I'll have to check out their other dishes and hope they're much better. For now they won't be added on my places to frequent during y work trips. read more

I usually order delivery here and the tacos get me right every time! And that orange sauce is a MUST on every taco! And the beans! I haven't had anything bad here so far. They're inexpensive and delicious! read more

This is one my top mexican restaurants in the area! I loved this little hole in teh wall. We came here because we were on our to drop off people at the airport in Kenner and I had read some good things about it from Ian McNulty. Anyway, it was around that in between lunch and dinner time and it wasn't too busy. It started to get busy quickly though the closert to dinner it got so be aware of that, this place is small. This place is also very loud. I noticed the speaker was right above us and the more the girls behind the bar did shots, the louder the music went. It made for a fun atmosphere so just be aware of that when you go too. We had the best, freshest guacamole. I don't know what made it so good, but it was good. I could have ordered 3 of those. The chips were just ok. The salsa was decent, but not the best. I ordered the molcajetes and those are always so delious. My hubby ordered the chimichunga which is the best in the city. It was plenty of food and so very good. I can't wait to go back! read more

My husband and I recently paid a visit. It was nice to find a full service restaurant at such a late hour. We were also delighted to see how festive it was and loved the music. The thing was, the music was crazy loud, OSHA unsafe levels! It was so loud that the waitress couldn't really hear us to take the order. And as a risk management professional, I'm certain the staff risk losing their hearing. We decided to take our food to go. The food was okay. First time getting fajitas with no pico...what's up with that?! read more

Extremely poor service and communication. My daughter and I wanted to split the $19.99 mixed fajitas and were charged $29.99. The explanation given was that it was for two people. Nowhere on menu does it state that there is a $10 fee added for splitting. We asked for an extra empty plate and they brought another plate with beans and rice on it. They claim they did not understand what we wanted so that was what our $10 paid for. Also in doing so they knocked over one of our drinks and refused several times to replace it. Nor did anyone offer to help clean up by bringing us a clean towel to wipe up the mess. Finally after asking three times, they did bring us a replacement drink. Also bait and switch with the $4.99 margaritas special billed at $5.99 because of the "flavor". We were with a large party of about 12 and 4-5 of us seated at an adjacent table. The other table was able to do separate checks whereas we were denied because we "had a different server". Our other table was four people and we were charged an automatic 10% gratuity because of that. We had a fifth person join us at same table and, low and behold, they could do a separate check for that person. Food was ok, not stellar as expected by other reviews, and the poor attitude didn't help at all. Avoid. There are many other mexican restaurants in town to choose from. read more

The varied ethnic cuisine of the Greater New Orleans area remains incredibly impressive. From small Honduran establishments to the best Vietnamese cuisine in the nation, the suburbia of Kenner, Metairie, and the Westbank usually always dazzle and rarely disappoint. These restaurants usually present as unassuming with excellent cuisine that clearly entices local populations to visit and create a sense of community around the eatery. As a result, a fantastic experience with fantastic people come to bare, anchored by great food. Unfortunately, Chilango's Seafood Restaurant grants a disappointing time that, while boasting fine cuisine, doesn't stand up-to-par when it comes to the sense of hospitality that other similar eateries can boast. From the moment we walked in, we knew the dinner might fail to live up to standards. We hadn't been greeted and we had to flag down one of the many employees who had been sitting behind the bar to be seated. We found our waitress the entire night to be cold and a bit rude and a musical act had been performing the entire time that no one engaged with or seemed to care for. The food, though, helped to boost this place quite a bit, with quality nachos, salsa, quest, and chicken fajitas. Had our service been more friendly and the ambience more welcoming, Chilango's surely would have been far more than the mediocrity I consider it of now. read more

Great food, good service and they makes you feel like you're in Mexico . Chilaquiles are my favorites read more

If you like Bloody Mary's do yourself a favor and order a Shrimp & Cucumber Michelada!! It was HEAVEN if Margaritas are your thing, ask for a cucumber jalapeño margarita it's to die for! And if you don't like the heat from the pepper ask you have the seeds taken out so you just get the flavor. So glad I stumbled upon this place!!! Y'all have to checkout this lil piece of Mexico. The service / servers are wonderful. My advice would be to go early in the evening. By the time I left the parking lot was packed. I'm already ready to go back. read more

I have been here 7 times. Every time the service has been worse. The food has always been good tho so you deal with it. Servers will have a full on conversation with the table next to you in English and then tell you they don't speak English. I'm not sure what the motivation for that is..well... Today the food sucked as well. Will not return. read more

I order from here regularly. I always get the taco salad with chicken. It's delicious and great portion. The shell is consistently cooked properly. Avacado tomato cucumber yum. I have also tried the chimichanga. I order it sans the red sauce the second time I ordered it because I don't want a soggy one and the sauce isn't my favorite. Have also tried the fajitas chicken. I have not gotten asada or any other protein from here. Try it once if you haven't. It's so good. read more

The tacos were good and the salsa is pretty tasty but the service during the day is trash. We were rushed to order drinks and food. Our margaritas were only half full and the server was not only cleaning while we ate but mopped my daughter's feet in the process. She was rude and made us wait until we asked for our bill. She was rude and I'll never spend my money here again! Even management was disrespectful. The food is great but I'd rather have mediocre food and great service. read more

Nasty. Truly horrible service, and terrible food. The indifferent server brought out warm salsa and half a handful of chips. The diet cokes were cans (no refills). The fried tilapia came out whole, and overdone, Lying on old cold French fries. The Mexican sampler was thrown together from old food lying in the kitchen. The place was empty and we had to keep going to look for the server, including when we wanted to get our check so we could get the hell out. read more

Horrible service to black people. Me my mom and a friend came to chilangos for taco Tuesday and when we came in they acted like they didn't want to serve us. I asked for the $5 frozen margarita and received this watery half filled plastic cup. Then as we were eating our meal, the server came up by our table mopping. She first hit my feet with the mop and didn't say anything. Then she started sweeping the trash under our table. I asked her if she could wait until we were done and she said no and continued mopping. She was very disrespectful and had an attitude. She went and told other employees who stood there staring at us the whole time and she kept trying to argue back and forth with me . No apology, no compensation, the whole staff were rude and racist! read more

Food was okay Whoever our server was gave us regular priced margaritas instead of the $3 ones she brought us 2 candy shots when we only wanted one and when we said we didnt order the second she told us we had to keep it b/c of the manager wouldnt let her throw it out. Not to mention the scam they have going on with parking. Car almost got towed so $200 for food that didnt fill me or drinks i didnt want. WILL NOT BE RETURNING read more

This is my second time going to this restaurant. I love their food. Very authentic. Everyone from work came to have lunch here. When we arrived at 12 there was only a few people in the restaurant and our food came out quick. The seafood platters and tacos are delish!!! That is their speciality. Downside is that the music is so loud you cant have conversation and might leave with a headache. But I guess the way to solve that is to order it as take-out. I might do that next time. No need to have that loud music at noon, felt like I was in a club. ;( About the delish food.... So, word of advice....don't order french fries at Mexican restaurant, not their specialty. Another observation is that most taquerias in Mexico serve warm salsa, it means its fresh. They serve cold salsa after its been in the fridge or room temperature when its been sitting out. A warm salsa means tomatoes have been boiled or roasted with chiles, onions, garlic and blended. This is not Taco Bell. In this visit I had the shrimp cocktail and it did not disappoint. I lived near Baja California for 6 years and I tasted authentic Mexican shrimp cocktails monthly. This place got it right! Thank You. The spices in the sauce, size of the shrimp and vegetables were on point. Check out the picture. Soooo good! My boss and co-workers ordered the beef and chicken fajitas. The sizzling pan, well seasoned meat, vegetables and tortillas hit the spot for them. Very flavorful and lots of it!! They couldn't finish the entire serving and took some home for dinner. As others have commented the food is amazing and authentic but the service is not great. They might need to change or retrain personnel. The furniture is also cracking and in need of repair. The furniture reminds me of seafood places in Mexico but its way to crowed for this small spot. They need to clean it up a bit. Again...The music was way to loud!!!! We couldn't have a conversation. But because the ladies were so rude I was afraid to ask them to turn it down. Ja ja ja... my charming boss started casual conversation with our waitress and she became more pleasant. Next time I am craving Mexican seafood I might order from them and just bring it home. This place can be so much better and have 5 stars from me if they apply some maintenance and customer service techniques. read more

I'm visiting from California and was really craving Mexican food. We ordered several items off the menu. The 7 mares soup with coconut was amazing! Also, you have to try the ceviche mixta and the quesabirria. We finished off the meal the best way we can, dessert. The flan was really really good! And the service was polite and friendly. Overall, a great experience! read more

The food here was fantastic! The atmosphere was great. Mana music blaring the whole time. We ordered the choriqueso for appetizer and it was filled with chorizo. For dinner I had the chicken Gordita with a side of rice and beans; delicious. The only thing that was lacking was the service. Our server had an attitude and didn't check on us once. She stayed behind the bar the entire time. That being said, the food more than made up for her crappy service. The other servers were all very friendly and attentive. Would return again for sure. read more

Food is amazing. I got tacos Al pastor and my mom got a shrimp cocktail. We both really enjoyed our meals. Service is on point, very attentive, and nice. I'm Mexican and these tacos really hit the spot, the only issue is the size of the tortilla. I got corn tortillas for my tacos and they were tinier than ur usual taco but still good and I got full with 4. They have taco Tuesday Dine one only which are $1 tacos . Ambiance is nice the music is a little loud but I could still conversate comfortably. Rhett have two locations on the same street so just be aware of that. read more

I went to Chilango's a a few weeks ago for the first time and it did not disappoint! Their food was authentic and very decently priced for the amount of food they give you. Some places I have been to give you half the amount of food Chilango's gives you for two times the amount Chilango's charges you, so I was definitely happy with this place. I absolutely loved their carne asada and their chicken fajitas were delicious as well. I would have given this place 5 stars, but I was not entirely satisfied with the atmosphere. It was incredibly loud because of the DJ so there was not much room for conversation and the tables were extremely close to each other, which made it hard to sit comfortably. I recommend take out or going during a non busy time of the day. Parking was also a hassle because we could not find a spot and the lot was very small. I would not let these things stop you from trying Chilango's though because it is definitely worth a try! read more

I loved this place. When looking for a place with friends to go for Cinco de Mayo naturally we looked everywhere and everywhere was pack when we found this place. It was honestly the best discovery we could've made in my opinion. The staff was friendly. The atmosphere was great for me personally feeling like a dive place just for the locals. Finally the food was fantastic I had the Bistek con Chile Relleno. Now being brought up in New Orleans I have no idea how authentic of Mexican food it actually is but it definitely felt more authentic than some other places I've been. I definitely will be returning for more. read more

Has a shrimp/fish ceviche cocktail and chicken/shrimp fajitas. The food was ok. The service was lacking. Had lots of waitresses there but not working very diligently at all. I'd give it another try but try the tacos next time. Has a coupon so was half price! read more

This is a hidden gem in Kenner. It's Mexican seafood. We had the Oisteronos Veracruz, a dozen oysters, raw, served with lime, avocado and pico. The oysters were large and fresh. We also had the guac, which was delicious. The guacamole was perfectly ripe. For main courses, I had the Shrimp Chilangueros, a dish with large, butterfly shrimp sautéed in a creamy chipotle sauce. My wife had the Shrimp Acapulco, shrimp grilled in a spicy tomato sauce. They have regular Mexican dishes here, but you can get those anywhere. They also have seafood soups and ceviches, which I will try next time. Price wise, it's middle of the road. The oysters were$12.99 and the entrees in the $10-12 range. Not bad considering the shrimp were large and fresh. The drinks were tasty. LARGE margaritas and authentic Cheladas. All this in very kitschy ocean decor. If you find yourself trapped in Kennah and you want something different, this is worth the stop. BTW, the kids will love the bright scenery. read more

The food was good. Although I've read that the service is horrible we had an ok experience because we were the last ones there. However the music which was extremely loud latino music when we arrived turned into the most vulgar rap I've ever heard once it got close to closing time. Totally inappropriate while there were still customers in the restaurant. read more

The "vuelve a la vida" (seafood cocktail) is amazing! We go to this place just for this dish! All the seafood dishes I have tried are very good. I cannot say the same for the chicken or meat plates (the time I tried the chiken flautas, they were lacking flavor or salt or something...) I have to say that the music could be better... Don't leave before trying the Coconut Flan - very creamy very flavorful flan. read more

Unflavorful Event After reading the many good reviews about this place, I had to try it. The parking lot is small and on my visit they weren't busy. I ordered the chalupas: one chicken, one pork. Presentation looked wonderful. The chips and dip were mediocre. While the chalupas looked better than they tasted- they were very weak on flavor. I might have ordered the wrong thing, but one review gave it a good review. Service was slow for not having many people there. read more
