Great service and margaritas, we love the feeling tacos and chicken flautas. The chimichangas are also fire. Casual dining also had an outdoor dining area. Travis. read more

Pretty good. Stopped in with my husband for dinner because it's always so packed. We both ordered stuffed peppers and they were sooooooo good. Will deff be back. Staff is super friendly too. read more

We came here for a friend group meetup with 10 people, and while we understand that's a large party, the restaurant was clearly overwhelmed. The waitress was kind and doing her best, but the service overall was confused and disorganized. Food came out slowly, almost in a turn-based fashion--some of us were nearly finished before others even got their meals. One friend ordered the ribeye, and after a long wait, the waitress admitted they had to check if they could still prepare it--as in, whether it still looked okay. That's not exactly reassuring. I ordered the chili verde, ate one taco, and immediately felt nauseous. I'm someone with a pretty strong stomach and can usually eat just about anything, but something was definitely off. Not the kind of experience that makes me want to come back, especially when the food safety is questionable. read more

Chilito's - Chili Chile Verde - avoid. I couldn't eat it. Just gross. - Mexican Near Me - Lake Dallas, Texas

Great selection, awesome barr, the kitchen staff are professional people. Nice little gem in Lake Dallas.

Thanks Lori and Lacey and all the kitchen staff for a GREAT luncheon after golf for the Denton Women's Golf Association. Food was fabulous and service was top notch. Serving 30 women drinks and food in a timely manner and cheerful attitude is not easy. We all had a wonderful time. read more

100% amazing food and great service ! Street tacos and the carne Asada was excellent.

Very disappointed. Ordered to go and it was really bad. The enchiladas were the worst I've ever had. Cheese enchiladas are very simple. The red sauce was dumped straight out of a .63 cent can from Walmart. We enjoyed the previous owners food once in awhile, but this was bad enough not to return. Folks inside were very nice and salsa is as good as I remember. I am a fan of the salsa. read more

The owners and staff are super friendly, service is excellent and the food is fresh and tasty! Simple, Chill ambiance, works as a sports bar, a biker hang, and a dinner spot. Very reasonable prices for a lot of food. Owners Will and Amanda took great care of us, as the staff loaded us up with all the good dishes to try! Highly recommend these guys; this is a family-oriented restaurant business at it's best. read more

We come to Chilito's several times each week! We love the food, the drinks, the people, and the Wednesday night bingo!

Service was very good. Didn't care for the queso as it tasted like cream of chicken soup. The beef fajitas were very good and loved the seasoning. Beans were too salty. Rice was good. Other person in party had beef fajita nachos but their meat was extremely salty as were the other party who also got beef fajitas. Another in our party got the Mikes Special and was just ok. I was disappointed as many have raved about how good this place is. The tablecloths color transferred onto our skin, arms and clothing. The plastic was tacky to the touch. read more

Today was an exciting day! We were allowed to be back at restaurants. I met some of my friends at Chilito's this afternoon & we sat on the patio, pretty great sized area that is beautifully shaded under a tree. They have some exciting plans for fixing up this patio area with lights greenery! Our margaritas were great & Bloody Mary had great spice. Definitely worth a try! read more

Chilito's - two margaritas and a book - Mexican Near Me - Lake Dallas, Texas

Great customer service. We were given samplers of tortilla soup, which is to Die for!! Best Tex Mex in the area! Great prices too!

Made an order via Uber Eats and was (2) Cheese Enchiladas short. I took the time to drive up there and explain, but my explaination was met with an arguement by the manager. I'm not one to argue over $6 so I left. I was shocked at the pushback. The cost of the enchiladas was most certainly cheaper than the fee and tip I paid to have it delivered. read more

I decided to give this place a third shot after avoiding it for a few years. The service is better, but the food is not. The 2 stars is only because I received excellent service this time. The food is edible, but that's about the most positive thing I can say about it. Their menu consist of mainly Tex Mex with just a few Mex options. The food is very bland. The queso was a clumpy mess that just tasted like cilantro rather than cheese. The chimichanga was soft and not crispy at all. I think this place is more of a local hangout for drinking rather than a place to enjoy delicious food. Maybe I'll just try mixed drinks next time. read more

Perfect 'hole in the wall' authentic Mexican food. If I had to find something to complain about it would be that the salsa containers are too small because I always need more. Had combo fajitas that were tasty, I'd probably get just chicken next time. Beef wasn't bad but nothing special. Staff/owner was very attentive with great customer service. Will be back. read more

Gave it a second try. Someone said the owners are from SoCal which is where I was born and raised for most my life. Carnitas came cubed. I asked the "owner" why the carnitas was cubed. He says its traditional. I challenged it because no it's not. Carnitas should be shredded. The service was awful. Guacamole tasted like it was out of a can. Albondigas was sub par. They took the carnitas off my bill thank you so much but I still won't be back. read more

Just tried to call and place an order to pick up. A you g lady answered the phone and asked how she could help me. I said I'd like to place an order for pick up and she hung up on me.

Best Mexican restaurant in all of Denton area. Family-owned, freshly made and oh so delicious!!! Love the carne asada, the Shrimp ala Johnny and their salsa is the absolute best. read more

This place is a bit tricky to find but when you circle around the backside of the building you come up on it. Great family spot they have an outdoor area and plenty of TVs inside to watch your favorite sport. Separate bar area if you're just going in for a cocktail. Solid Mexican food favorite here, you could make a meal just on their delicious bean and cheese nachos. When you're looking for some great Mexican food and you're tired of all the mainstream restaurants with their long waits, do you have on over to Lake Dallas and check out this spot. read more

Terrible service. Incompetent employees who consistently forget items for to go orders. "We're out of that" you get that here a lot. Worst sour cream chicken enchiladas I've ever tasted. All the 5 star ratings are the locals that get wasted every night in the bar. read more

Chilito's has very good authentic Mexican food. Tonight was the first time I've ever gone and I can honestly can say we have now found our new Mexican restaurant. Chilito's is a must go for Mexican food. Once you try it you will be hooked. I purchased the Carnia asada Ranchero that came with refried beans,rice,cheese enchiladas , albondigas soup,and flour tortillas. I also ordered a side order of chili relleno. All I have to say about my dinner is WOW! It was excellent. My wife ordered California flautas. Chicken flautas with guacamole , sourcream, beans and rice. Cooked well, tastes good. The guacamole had the perfect amount of garlic, was very good. To end the dinner we ordered soapapillas. The service was awesome also and the restaurant was very clean. I have lived in North Texas for over 35 years and still don't know how I missed Chilito's. We look forward to more visits and possibly a few catering orders. Thank you Chilito's for such a good time. See y'all soon. read more

This hole in the wall is what hole-in-the-walls should be: cheap and so yummy with colorful service. Chilito's is Mexican, not Tex-Mex. If I recall the story correctly, the Grandpa, after moving from California to Texas and not finding good Mexican food, decided to open up his own. The restaurant is still run by the Grandma. Uncle and nephew cook and bartend. My go-to selections are mole, relleno and carnitas, but you can't go wrong with anything. The carnitas are grilled, not deep fat fried and has such a great flavor and so tender. I will stuff myself with it and can't eat dinner later because it is that good. Mole is made fresh on Wednesdays. The recipe is from one of the old cooks. You get plenty of food. The rice and beans remind me of good Cali-Mex food. They make their own margarita mix--it is deadly good. It is a bit far to drive to Lake Dallas, but totally worth it. read more

Delicious food, AND the staff is super kind, attentive and funny. Everything tasted great and authentic. It's the perfect "meet me halfway" between Lewisville and Denton!!! Thank you for making a friend and I's reunion even sweeter. read more

Chilito's is locally owned and operated business (I like to support locally owned...). The food is good, the prices are good (dinner for five w/tip was $50), the staff are friendly. The salsa is made in house and is very good. I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed the chili relleno, their margaritas, and the burgers (who would have thought to order burgers at a Mexican restaurant?). Now that the lake dallas exit is closed on I35, it's not so convient to get to but worth the extra effort. read more

Over priced, too salty, a bit tough, enchiladas horrible with that fake canned sauce poured over the top, hard taco beef had no flavor, I'm so disappointed cause I've eaten here before and loved it, so my feelings were really hurt about this experience. I will definitely give it another chance, being it's right in my neighborhood! Hope it will be better!! read more

Ya know......this little place gets lost in the crowd. We've been a couple of times now. For the prices you can't beat it. The service is great, and the salsa is a win! Sometimes I forget it's back there in its little corner of Lake Dallas. Go check it out. You wont be disappointed. read more

Chilito's - Chili Relleno with beans n rice - Mexican Near Me - Lake Dallas, Texas

Man, this place has delicious salsa!! I love it! Chips are good, too. My tea got plenty of attention, which is a good thing, because I need it to rinse down the heat on the salsa. I typically get the Lake Dallas - taco, cheese enchilada, beans and rice for a nice price and good flavor. I've had the sopapillas once and they were really tasty, too! Service is expedient and friendly, but the woman at the register doesn't always love to separate checks. Yesterday, though, was a good day for her! read more

Food kind of bland and quite pricey for what you get. It is ok in a pinch since it is fairly close to the house and I like to support local businesses. I got the taco salad which was average at best. I have tried their enchiladas which were also ok. If you are not looking for WOW mexican food, this is worth a try. read more

I love the atmosphere. There is always mariachi music playing in the background which I love. As for the food, well, I'd have to say that I like their chips and salsa and that's about it. I like the ownership and the staff is really nice, but that's about it. I take my Mexican food very seriously and very sad this restaurant didn't make the grade. Beef Fajita Nachos were poor. The regular Nachos were sad. I'm afraid this will be the last time I visit, I'm sorry to say. I wish them well, Adios amigos! read more

Chilito's - Mexican Near Me - Lake Dallas, Texas

We came in on a slow Saturday night. No real reason to wait an hour for fajitas and a cold shrimp salad. The log jam appeared to be the new server. She did not know the menu and we had to ask for the proper garnish for our soups and salads. Once the food did arrive, it was okay, but after the wait we had to rush through the meal. The salsa is homemade and good. The $5.95 queso was thin and watery tasting. Not sure if we will come back with so many local Mexican food options. Okay, I should've waited for the check to come before completing the review. More drama once the check arrived. The unknowledgeable server was not aware of which items had up charges and which ones did not. I would gladly pay one dollar additional for a bowl of properly garnished chicken tortilla soup, had one been served to me and I knew of the additional cost. The sad part, was that after several trips back and forth to the kitchen to sort out the check, the manager or owner never once got up from their barstool to intervene in this process and let the new server sort this out. The food here is on the cusp of average, almost okay. But the long wait, begging for proper garnish, and guest check roulette made this experience such a beat down. Far too much effort for an almost okay meal. read more
