The food here is almost decent. It is as close as it gets to Meixcan food by the US standards. It's close. We went with the tacos and ceviche. Both were almost decent. Almost. Decent. Apart from the god awful pricing, the food isn't bad. The tortilla for the tacos is good. Fresh. House made for sho. There are more meats available than just ground beef and chicken, but way short of what's authentic. No cow tongue, skin, or brain. But all they throw on these $3.00 tacos is a portion of cilantro that is just ungenerous as the meat. No cheese, lettuce, good lord, dare I suggest avocado. Nadda else. Then more Canadian-ness kicks in. Chips and salsa? Oh, there's a charge for that because they "home make the chips, you see". The server said that with great pride. Apparently all the other places in the world that give free chips and salsa only use tostitos and old dutch salsa. He pretty much said it that way. You see it in his eyes, such conviction: the other guys? Inauthentic. This place? Super authentic. We're so authentic, we'll ding you for it. Just 'cause..you know? Then the Ceviche came with a dozen of the chips. There was no way we could eat them with the 12 chips they rationed. Seriously, I got more generous portions in Havana. So we asked for more. They brought them out... at the tail end of our dinner. Whatever, at least they didn't "forget". Oh, but when we got our bill we learned that those over-rationed chips were $3.50. Fuck off. I fucking lost it on the server, and he wouldn't relent on this bull shit charge. Out comes the proud manager. I went all Chicagoian on his ass and said I should charge for ketchup and salt at my burger joint if the urine sized cup for ketchup isn't enough for the fries. He didn't relent...it seems that he and this establishment are convicted that the charge is justified. Good lord. I am never coming back here. Mexican food is SUPPOSED TO BE CHEAP. Too bad my date didn't seem to agree with me. There seemed to be some promise with her.... If you want good Mexican, jump on a flight to any US city. For fucks sake, Salt Lake City has better Mexican food than us. If you want more authentic Mexican, hit up the McDonald's drive thru and order their Mexican breakfast burrito. This place is lucky to get away with two stars. Don't get me started on the pricing and selection in their tequila list.... read more

Taste just like eating in Mexico. The Shrimp tacos were amazing and well worth the price. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is incredible. Don't forget taco Tuesdays! read more

***update...I wont go back here. I took some friends here boasting about the great food only to sit at a table for HALF AN HOUR and not even get a menu or a drink order in all that time. I got up to get menus and was chastised by a waitress who then brought them to the table and left before asking us if we wanted a drink! We left and walked down to Jamisons where we had a great dinner and drinks on the patio. The food might be good but it is certainly not worth the kind of wait you get here. I knew their service was sub par from previous experience but this was the straw that broke the camel's back****I love this place! You can order just about anything on the menu and be very satisfied...but good luck deciding. I was just there for their weekend brunch and although the place was empty the service wasn't so great. But the food more than made up for it. Their marguiretas are delicious and the atmosphere is fab. read more

Awful. Had a non-authentic margarita and below average Burrito. Charged for an extra side of sour cream and also for the cheese I had requested to be in my burrito as the menu didn't state it had any. The server was Russian and barely spoke English. Over all poor experience, will not go back. read more

We were heading along 17th on Saturday, August 2 to find a place to eat. We had sushi on our minds due to the sweltering heat. As soon as we saw the two-tiered patio and the inside/outside open walls, we decided to drop in to Los Chillitos instead. Although they were busy, we were seated immediately out on the patio (where we wanted to be) and our server was at the table almost instantly. The offerings on the menu were really difficult to chose from, so many items looked so good! We had very attentive, friendly service for our meal. Which brings us to the food. My partner ordered a pulled chicken quesadilla that was delicious, but the main star in my mind was my dinner (when I was finally able to make a decision!) I ordered the shrimp fajitas. Within about 10 minutes, our food was brought to the table, hot, fresh and sizzling on the fajita grill. The flavours were amazing, the delicious tortillas are made in house, and all of the ingredients were fresh, tasty and well presented. After we left with our satisfied, full tummies, we remarked that it had almost been like an afternoon vacation, before both of us remarking at the same time "We HAVE to go back there!!!" Relaxing environment, fantastic service and absolutely astounding food quality/taste. We will be back for sure, and will bring our friends. read more

We enjoyed our food; found it to be authentic and tasty! The soup was the BEST I have ever had- including having it several times in Mexico. Staff was very friendly I definitely will go back. The only complaint I have it was hard to read the menu with the dark lighting in the room. (But I did like the darkness after we ordered) read more

Barbacoa tacos are unreal. I cannot stop thinking about them.

I love this place! Great mojitos, and the best fish tacos! There's one waitress there that isn't super welcoming, but all the other girls are great!!! Amazing food, I love coming here. read more

I've been to this restaurant a few times and each time the service has been awful. My most recent experience, the waitress overflowed my beergarita and it dropped all the way down the table and onto the floor. Half of my beer was wasted and all she managed to do was say "looks like you better drink quick" so that no more of my drink gets wasted. I hadn't even touched it. For $13 a beverage, you'd think they would have had the courtesy to apologize and at least offer to make me a new drink or give me a discount. The server wasn't even apologetic, she just walked away and pretended nothing happened. Very poor attention. There are a number of excellent Mexican restaurants and unfortunately, this is not one of them because of the service. I will not be returning. read more

This was amazing; I love Mexican food but I've never been somewhere like this with such amazing service as well as food.

Hello, I was just there on Friday with some friends, I have one friend who has really strict dietary restrictions. She order a few sides (side of rice, guacamole, and the green salad). She even mentioned to the the waitress that she has a very strict diet and she cannot eat most of what's on the menu, while my sister and I ordered drinks and regular meals. My friend got her sides and she saw the salad had cheese on it which she cant have. She apologized to the waitress and said she didn't realize the side salad had cheese and she politely asked if it would be possible to have a side salad without the dairy (she had this the last time she was at Los Chilitos, it didnt have dairy on it - perhaps it was a different salad or the menu has changed). we were there for some time and the salad never came and the waitress said nothing. My sister and I had to leave and we paid for our meals, as we were leaving we decided to pay for our friends sides as well; however, we told the waitress that the salad never arrived and I nicely asked if that will still appear on the receipt since she didn't get it and she wasn't told what happened with it. The waitress lost it, she started getting really heated, yelling at me while I was sitting in my booth repeatedly saying "Well, you didn't tell me!! she should have told me she cant have that!" I was in complete shock, I couldn't believe she was arguing with me over a $4 salad and getting this angry while I was sitting there being calm because I just couldn't believe how ridiculous the situation was. While I was in the middle of talking she interrupted by saying "I need to check with the kitchen" and stormed off. We had friends who had joined and were spending money on meals and drinks and everyone was completely nice to her and she blew up over a $4 salad and thought it would be okay to treat us like that. If she had explained right when my friend told her she cant have the salad that the kitchen already made the salad so we would have to buy a new one, we would be completely fine with that - although, no other restaurant would do that. She had no right to behave like that. When she came back to us, she came back with a big smile on her face (perhaps someone in the kitchen told her how ridiculous she was being). the point of all of this is that we will never return to this restaurant. There are so many other restaurants to choose from in downtown, considering the selection, why would anyone choose to go to one with terrible service. It is really unfortunate that this one person has completely ruined this restaurant for my friends and I. Judith read more

Love their authentic flavours! I always go to the farmers market location and get the 3 taco platter. It's a little pricey but sooooo delicious, the meat, soft corn tacos and fresh salsas. I always wash it down with a pineapple or lime jarritos soda. Probably my favourite in the city, way better taste than the franchise chains. read more

Amazing food! The staff is great, not enough room to seat around for busy nights but worth the wait! I always leave the restaurant extremely full and happy! read more

Try the tortilla soup!! It's the best! The restaurant is charmingly kitchy, nothing fancy, but the food is good. Portions are really big.
