This is a chain restaurant but it's a good fast casual spot. I always keep this place in my rotation. I always get the steak bowl, rice, 2 types of beans, veggies, queso and this amazing jalapeño ranch dip. It always comes with a side of tortilla chips. The unfortunate thing about this location is that the smell from outside creeps inside but it's not the restaurants fault. The food and the portion always exceeds expectations. The staff are always so friendly and patient even when it's busy. read more

Walk into the place, take a deep sniff and you will gag. It smells like a sewer. The P traps water may have dried up but good Lord I want into the place several weeks ago and it smelled just as bad. The food was ok and I was hoping the stench would be gone but no. Chiloso hdqq. you need to fix this location asap. It really stinks. read more

Simply outstanding. My wife and I saw this restaurant this morning while running errands and made a plan to visit for dinner. My wife had the seafood tacos - one tilapia, one salmon and blackened shrimp. With generously avocado slices and toppings, and cilantro lime rice and black beans. I got to try the shrimp and it's delicious. My son and I had the taquitos with charro beans and traditional Mexican rice - all the food was excellent. They offer a wide choice of salsas and dips - all were very good, though my favorite is (and please forgive that I can't recall the name) the jalapeño ranch with the smoked chili salsa mixed in. Perfect beans and rice. Perfectly cooked and seasoned meats. I don't think we could ask for anything more except to know about this gem before today. They have a full breakfast menu. I can't wait until my WFH day this week to go get a breakfast bowl. No photos - my family doesn't really do that (seriously, why?!). The portions are generous and prices are very reasonable. This is the Mexican bistro you didn't know you needed. read more

Regular Guacamole is $13.54 and it tastes bland as fuck. Will not be spending any money here ever again.

If I could do zero stars I would do it. I haven't worked in Denton long but always frequent chipotle because I feel it can be healthy. This location on Loop 288 is ALWAYS out of the main thing people get. Today they were out of rice, black beans, chicken and peppers and onions. One visit they were out of chicken and told me it would 8 minutes before any chicken would be ready. I only get 30 minutes for lunch. I really think a manager needs to have more of a presence. The dining room is always filled with dirty tables. I have to clean my own most of the time. It's so disappointing! read more

Chilosos deserves all the stars and more! They have been an incredible support to our school district year after year. I honestly couldn't get through football season without their help and generosity. Their food is absolutely amazing -- always fresh, flavorful, and loved by everyone! A special thank you to Araceli, who is always so kind, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond. There truly aren't enough words to express our gratitude and appreciation for everything Chilosos does for us. We love and appreciate you all more than you know! read more

I've loved Chiloso since 2016! Recently discovered the spicy version of th chicken tortilla soup thanks to a staff recommendation --total game-changer. Grilled avocados are always a win, and the jalapeño ranch mixed with mild salsa is a must. Strong, delicious margaritas too! I even had them cater my wedding, forever a fan! read more

I am obsessed with Chiloso, and this location is AMAZING!! The customer service was fantastic, as usual. Everyone was so sweet, and the store was super clean. I typically get their nachos for lunch/dinner, but this time I decided to build my own breakfast taco. This is hands down the greatest breakfast taco I've ever had!! I mean hello - the fact that I was able to load it up with ALL of my favorite toppings?? SENSATIONAL. Plus the jalepeno ranch, is NEXT LEVEL. Now that I know that their breakfast is just as insanely delicious as their lunch and dinner, I will absolutely be adding this into my rotation. Chiloso - I love you FOR LIFE!! read more

Good fresh food, nice service and delicious sauces ! A good recommendation at a good price

You can't go wrong with ordering anything on the menu. My favorite are the flautas. Ordering a plate your food comes out cooked from the kitchen. You get complimentary chips and salsa with your meal. Staff is always friendly. Fast casual dining and there are tvs to watch. I'm a frequent visitor because there are so many options to enjoy. read more

This is an order at the counter place. Ask for salsa, or you don't get any. Just as well, chips were stale and old. Rice and beans are plain and need salt and pepper. The Boom Boom enchiladas were fantastic. Spicy, filled with grilled chicken, and smothered in queso. I'm on the fence about going back. read more

The first time I ordered from this place six days ago.I thought it was great except for the black bits of char all through my food that I had to keep picking out. The second time I ordered, I didn't expect to find the same black char in my food, It wasn't as much, but it was still there. Also must be the weekend cooks because it's not as good today as it was Sunday. Got the wrong sauce, and the other sauce was like watered down ranch. I will try them again because right now it's 50/50 read more

I went to Chiloso on Saturday Dec 6 at 6pm. the amount of food they put in my bowl was so small. He put to small scoops of rice. you can still see the bottom of the bowl. everything he added was so small. I been to this location a few times and always received a fair portion for the price. But, yesterday was the worst. I'll never come back. IDK if it's the tik tok hype that got yall being stingy but I don't like it and you lost a customer. read more

Very pricey and without a lot of food. The service was not very good. I expected the food to be somewhat fast but I ended up waiting over 30 minutes to get my food after waiting in line for 15 minutes. I had to switch my food to To Go. The manager did apologize and said the kitchen was backed up but there was only one other table so I couldn't imagine if they had a full restaurant. I definitely won't be coming back. read more

I've recently been eating here again, but I was originally introduced to it in 2018 when my coworkers would go out and pick it up for us. I was obsessed then and I'm still obsessed. I've had their old school street tacos twice, and I've had their bowl once, and I can't remember exactly what I used to get back when I first tried it, but I remember loving it. Oh and they give you chips and your choice of a sauce, I tend to go for the jalapeño ranch, mmmmm soooo goood!! I will say their prices are a little steeper than your typical fast food joint but the ingredients used are worth it. I just recently introduced my bf and he loved it. Side note the cook and all the employees I've encountered are all so sweet and patient when I try and decide what I'm wanting. The decor is really nice and it's ALWAYS been super clean and very welcoming. If you haven't tried this place out, do it, you definitely won't regret it!!!! read more

Chiloso Mexican Bistro - Build your own bowls... yum! - Mexican Near Me - Denton, Texas

It's not authentic Mexican food. Who puts cheese on tacos ? They were rude and trying to charge me more for something that was right in front of them. Never again. read more

The food is amazing, especially the taquitos. The queso has a nice kick to it, and their burrito bowls are way better than the competitors.

Prices increased and portions decreased. I'm lucky if I even get all the items I ordered.

Hey Dentonites, if you're looking for a good Mexican food restaurant don't skip out on Chiloso on the loop. My husband came home one weekend with breakfast tacos that were amazing! We've been here for breakfast several times and it's always good. You can build your own tacos or bowl, and it comes with chips and a drink. My husband and I ate for a little under $30. It's located across the street from the mall and is a little hidden so it's easy to overlook. Their lunch and dinner menu is delicious as well. read more

I'm surprised how many people in Denton don't know about this place! It's sort of a hidden gem in a shopping center not too many people go to. This place is fast casual, very similar to Chipotle or Freebird's. The awesome part is that you can also order items from the kitchen. I haven't had the bowls or burritos/tacos so I can't really comment much on those. Every time I've come here for breakfast/lunch/dinner I've ordered something from the kitchen. I recommend the egg topped enchiladas (breakfast), avocado shrimp tacos on corn tortillas, grilled avocados with either barbacoa or chicken, or the grilled salmon tacos. I haven't had anything from here that I haven't liked yet! Tips: Be sure to try the jalapeño ranch! It goes GREAT with EVERYTHING! Also their pinto beans that come as a side with some of the entrées are really spicy but delicious if you can stand the heat! If you don't like hot food opt for the refried beans. read more

I never had a bad experience at chiloso food has always been great, however I went in 10/26 for a burrito. Either the grilled onions were burnt or the barbacoa meat...with every bite I took I would bite into crunch pieces of charred I open burrito open and see several pieces big/small burnt it was awful and ruined the whole burrito. read more

In the vast universe of fat casual Mexican where you go through the line to pick you ingredients for either salads, bowls, nachos, burritos or tacos, this restaurant felt middle of the pack to me. The quantity was smaller than some, but ample, and the ingredients seemed fresh enough. So all in all it was a good experience. The chips themselves that I had were a bit stale or perhaps just too thick for my taste. The restaurant was a little dingy as far as cleanliness, which caused me to wipe down my table. There was a leak in the ceiling near the soft drinks which was a little disturbing as I reached around the bucket to get to the machine. No apology or no sign, just a bucket capturing drips. And one very annoying items was how loud the music was playing. It made conversation hard. I don't think I will return based on this experience even tough the food was good. read more

The food is good but doesn't match the price. Service is great and my family and I have always enjoyed our experience their. Decorations and style of the main floor is definitely lacking. Overall you will still enjoy yourself if you're wanting to splurge. read more

So I'm still in love with the grilled avocado. I tried recently the roasted pork and it was extremely spicy.. good flavor but very spicy. The rice needs so much improvement for me or they need other side options other than beans or side salad. I feel the avocado is the star of the show at this place though everything else I've tried has been a little underwhelming. read more

White rice wasn't cooked and hard and crunchy. Couldn't eat it after the first bite. Very disappointed

we ordered delivery to our hotel today and when it got there it was all wrong order, the receipt showed what we ordered but what we got was something else. I would not feed this crap to my worst enemy! I would give it a minus 4 stars if I could and the prices were outrageous nearly 14 bucks for a lousy wrong burrito! read more

Very hypocritical on masks. Refusing to serve us because we don't have a mask, but cooks in the back cooking food with mask under their chins. Total BS and didn't answer our question why they aren't wearing theirs properly. Also not providing masks, but enforcing and refusing to serve. Do the bare minimum if you are going to do that. Insanely hypocritical and ridiculous Food has been mediocre in the past few months, and today it looked they had barely anything. Big thumbs down read more

So I had been to their location is Rowlett before but I didn't really like it that much. I decided to give them another chance since they opened up a new location in Denton. I got a bowl to go with chicken. There are so many more different toppings you can add on to your bowl then you can at chipotle. They also have refried beans and the rice is Mexican style. Another plus about this place is that you can get queso for free! I feel like that just makes its so much better. For the sauces I got habanero and jalapeño ranch. The habanero wasn't that spicy at all and ranch was on point!! They also have a lot more variety then chipotle. You can get other made to order items and they also have a daily special of certain items they have everyday. Another bonus is that they give you free chips with your meal! I was so surprised. I got more jalapeño ranch for my chips because it's that good. It is a little more pricer than chipotle but you get a bunch of food and chips! I think it's worth it! read more

Very good food-great service and a laid back setting! Our first time here and we will definitely be back!

A great place hidden away in a strip mall. If you live in the area, you should consider looking these folks up. These guys offer many selections, but I'm going to tell you about some amazing tacos that I got there. You can get your tacos any way you want: tortilla, corn tortilla, crunchy taco shell, etc. Fillings offered include steak, grilled chicken, regular taco "meat" (I didn't try that selection), barbacoa, and spiced shredded chicken. Seems like there was another option, but I got the grilled chicken, steak, and spicy shredded chicken. All were amazing. The spicy chicken wasn't a joke either. It was a bit hotter than I was expecting, but very tasty. Once you select the filling you get to choose all manner of accouterments for your tacos from queso to shredded cheese to guac and so on. I got queso and shredded cheese and tomato and grilled onion and they were pretty amazing! I also opted for the rice and refried beans and those too were really good. The chips and salsa was also a treat as they offer 6 different options for salsa ranging from creamy ranch style dip to full on habernaro pepper salsa and all points in between. The Scoville scale is well represented. Personally I liked the salsa verde and the creamy jalapeno ranch dip. This is a great place that offers all kinds of selections including breakfast options if you're up early and want something different for breakfast. Next time you're in the mood for tacos, consider giving these guys a try. I don't think you will regret it. read more

Menu and set up looks to be modeled after chipotle .. I Ordered the bowl with 1/3 green chili pork and 1/2 steak - initially I ordered the burrito and wanted my rice and beans on the side as I didn't know if I would like them and they said If it was put on the side that I would be charged for a full side of rice and beans so I opted for the bowl so I could determine what I wanted in my tortilla - the meats are mediocre ..not bad but not as good as chipotle ( sorry I hate comparing but given this is basically the same type of place the comparison is going to be there) and there was a lot of fat in the steak and pork .. don't get me wrong they had good taste I just had to pick the fat out. When we arrived there were some items on the line that just didn't look too fresh and tops were not on them - the rice beans and veggies notably.. I love the creamy jalapeño ranch sauce - the OMG quesadilla was very tasty! The rice is so so .. I personally prefer cilantro lime rice for my burrito or bowl .. anyhow all and all it was good but wasn't the wow factor for me - the atmosphere was quiet but I went at 4pm - read more

They're using dirty mop heads so the restaurant smells gross & musty at the moment. For the owners sake - wet floor signs need to be more visible lol. I moved one off the wall in front of the door as we left. You're welcome :( Blonde girl up front was annoyed & talking to herself before stepping in the back to get the nasty mop as she was warming my tortilla. Scratches the back of her head several times with both hands & adjusted her hat. I asked her to change her gloves & warm a new, fresh one. Concerned about the dried looking chicken that was cooked "fresh" during their 5pm dinner rush that she just confirmed lol. Now she's complaining about customers coming in at the last minute. I was hoping this one would live up to Richardson's quality & demanded my cousin come here instead of Hanobi .... looking like they aren't going to be convinced at my rave reviews about how much I loved the place lol Oh & her flip flops are sticking to the freshly mopped floor. Yikes Edited : the girl was asking if we wanted the replacement tortilla warmed. It was replacing the one that got wet from being dropped in the salsa lol. Not offering to remake it - she had to ask for a new wrapper & figured just take the damn tortilla & warm it up at home so we can leave already lol. Poor attitude from young staff is one thing. We get they are learning. But being unsanitary & having no regard for common sense choices isn't really excusable read more

Update number 2: since Chiloso is so close to the office it has become my obsession. Today and last Friday i had the Grilled Fish Tacos with a side Salad. Listen,`these Fish Tacos were better than most I've had from those Restaurants that sell only Fish Tacos. Topping them off with all the fresh ingredients your little heart desires is just an added bonus. I only added the Jalapeno Ranch Sauce which took them to a whole other level. Who am I kidding, I had no choice but to give them 5 Stars. No kidding I have eaten here 4 times this week , once was to try the Breakfast Tacos. As you can probably guess no disappointments there either. Chiloso , in my Book is the absolute Truth! read more

I went here with my Yelp bestie T.W.,on Friday so we could catch up and have an early dinner before hitting up some macarons across the street. Upon entering I was surprised to see it was a fast casual concept similar to Chipotle or Freebirds. For some reason I thought it was a sit down place. No matter, food is food... except I was really confused by their menu so I had to stare at it for a while. After being there for a while I get the impression that they were going for 'Spicy version of Chipotle' but I can't be too certain. They have a small selection of menu items, but most options are build your own. Everything seemed to be mostly in the $8-14 range. I was kind of surprised that I didn't find the menu super appealing so I decided to go with a bowl. When we approached the line I saw they have a specials board with 3 options for the day and I perked up. Fish tacos sounded good. After talking to the employee on the line and getting her opinion on some things, I went with a bowl after all. T.W. went with the OMG quesadilla. I had every intention of making a rice bowl with roasted pork until I saw the ingredients. Most of the meat looked really old and unappealing and not worth the risk of getting sick. This was before the main dinner rush so there is a chance they were about to change it out with fresher ingredients, but they were full, so I find that improbable. When I inquired about which one was the roasted pork (could NOT tell the difference) and she scooped it around, it looked really discolored and clumpy and I started getting nervous. The steak and chicken looked to be the freshest and best options. I went with a rice bowl with refried beans, steak, chicken, queso, shredded cheese, lettuce and corn. Most items had scoops, but none of the veggies did and I found it really unsettling that the employee hand scooped the corn with gloves like that was normal and how she was trained. What about allergies and cross contamination? That was just unnerving and I saw no good reason not to have scoops and tongs in the veggie section. The portion was a fair size for $9. The OMG Quesadilla was smaller than I thought it would be, I thought that portion was a little overpriced at $9. The chips and salsa were complimentary. The small drink was just shy of $2. The drink station counters were very wet, as were the trash counters. About half the tables looked customer bussed instead of clean. I did think it was nice to have both tables and booths to choose from as that's not usually the option for fast casual. The chips were stale and mostly ignored. I didn't care for my meal. Individually some of the components were okay- the lettuce was good, the corn was good and most of the steak was good. The chicken was stringy, the beans flavorless and mushy, the rice was tasteless and clumpy. The queso had good spice to it but was not complimentary with the dish after all. Everything together was extremely unappetizing, unappealing and borderline disgusting. I think this has a lot to do with textures, freshness and cook. I left most of it behind, it just wasn't a satisfying meal with good ingredients. The OMG quesadilla lacked some ingredients as well, one of the quesadillas was practically empty. It looked better than my meal but it didn't sound like it tasted any better. We both left dissatisfied. I'm giving this a 3 star because I think this fast casual concept appeals to specific tastes and that we weren't the ideal customers for them. Even so, that doesn't mean the restaurant should be dirty, the ingredients be old at any time of the day or the price be out of line with quality and portion. That being said, the flavor profile and spiciness factor seems to be the main draw. If you normally enjoy Tex Mex fast food chains and wish they had more of a kick, I think this would probably be a 3 or 4 star experience for you. This just wasn't my cup of tea and I will not be back. I found it to be a 2 1/2 star experience but since I don't think this place is geared toward me, I'm rounding up in an attempt to be fair to the restaurant and their actual customer base. read more

On a Sunday evening a friend convinced me to try Chiloso as she frequents the location in Richardson and loves it. At a little after 9pm we walk in to order take out. They close at 9:30 so being fast food it shouldn't be a problem to grab something to go. The staff member at the front who I believe to be Molly B according to the receipt seems irritated that she has customers. She is wearing food handling gloves and moves the mop bucket around and walks over to take our order and scratches her head (same food handling gloves on btw) she reaches for a tortilla and asks my friend what she would like. My friend who is trying to be polite and think of a way to say something nicely hesitates for a moment then just says "naw I'm good" Then finally says "You know you were just scratching your head with the gloves on and didn't change them and that's unsanitary....actually it's nasty" The staff member trashed the tortilla that was in her hand and changed her gloves and asked again what she would like. My friend order a chicken burrito and a drink, paid and walked to the side. I ordered one barbacoa taco for my daughter, one bean and cheese burrito for my son. As she's making the order another customer(s) come in and she tells me in a very irritated way "This happened yesterday too. A bunch of customers come in right before close" I hadn't looked up so I assumed several people had just walked in. I then a chicken quesadilla for myself. She immediately asked the cook if the grill had been cleaned yet before acknowledging my order. The cook confirmed it had not been and the order was fine. It was NOT closing time yet and that was totally unprofessional for her to even yell back at the cook like I was an inconvenience to her. I understand cleaning and getting ready for closing but you still have to be prepared to serve until closing and while being somewhat courteous. After paying I walked across the sloppy mopped floor which smelled like stale mop water and definitely did not leave the floor clean. My flip flops were sticking to the floor. I thought I might lose one by walking right out of it when it stuck to the floor That's when I notice it was only one man behind me that had come in so her statement of "a bunch of customers coming in right at close" must have been about my friend , myself and the man behind us. She should probably understand that you don't complain to the customer when it's the customer you're whining about!!! When my order was ready and she started to place the food into the bag I started to walk back over to the counter. As I approached she dropped the bean and cheese burrito into the watery pico looking salsa . She grabbed it out and said "Oopsy! That's never happened before." I could clearly see it dripping and she placed it in the bag. ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?!?! I was trying very hard to mask anger at this point. I pulled the burrito back out and unwrapped it as the juice was dripping all over the counter. She walked back my direction and I thought maybe she would offer to remake it if she saw that the tortilla was wet and soggy. Nope. So I said "hey, can I at least get a dry tortilla hoping that she might offer." She grabbed a tortilla and said want me to warm it? I was so pissed I just said no thanks I do it myself at home. Looking back I should have said sure and while you're at it put some beans and cheese on it too So I get home and apparently you get chips with your order which is nice but no salsa. My friend said umm we're suppose to get salsa. Being my first time I had no clue. My son said his bean and cheese burrito tasted funny. I'm sure it did lol it was a mangled salvage. Beans had a weird sweet taste. Daughters barbacoa looked like mush and the portion was ridiculously small for a $3.95 taco. My quesadilla was actually delicious but one was empty and the rice I didn't care for it. In summary 0-10 (10 being excellent) Quality of the food - 5 Value portion for price - 2 Customer service - 0 Cleanliness of restaurant - 0 read more

As I approached, I briefly paused since the same said "bistro." I contemplated whether that meant the food would be priced higher than normal. After getting a look at the menu, it confirmed my suspicions. The food was great for flavor and freshness. Several menu items are very creative and original. However, the attempt to knock off Chipotle's business model was not worth the $10 burrito bowl. The true "round" bowl is not only smaller than the competitor, the amount of meat (chicken today), did not even equal half a chicken breast. Therefore, I can only give this rating, as the value is not consistent with the product delivered. The location is nice. But, with only 3-4 tables filled, the staff were way behind on wiping down tables and stocking ingredients on the "creation station." It was a nice experience, but I won't be back. Chipotle is just down the road. And, I can build my value bowl on their app. read more
