    Here are Carnitas tacos, flour tortilla cheese, and a creamy guacamole. Yummy yummy in my tummy!

    I can't say enough good things about Chilote. Great customer service. Fantastic tacos. I'm obsessed with their Carnitas tacos! This restaurant is located inside the Chevron, and I love it. I pick up my scratchers, then head over to Chilote to get my tacos. Everything is fresh. They have three cute picnic tables where you can eat. Chilote offers burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, and more. Fresh-made salsas to choose from, fresh corn, and fresh flour tortillas made right in front of you. Support a new small business in Surprise, Arizona, you won't be disappointed!

    Birra burrito!

    Second shot at Chilote Mexican Kitchen and went with the birria burrito! This is the best Mexican (authentic) ! Amazing food combined with outstanding customer service! You got to give it a roll you will not regret !

    Excellent carnitas bowl! I don't know how they do this at a gas station/ mini mart, but it's definitely a keeper on my list.

    This Mexican restaurant isn't very authentic. The food was disappointing overall--tasted like it…read morewas pre-made and then microwaved, and some dishes were dry and not fresh. The drinks felt more like basic bar cocktails than anything special. Prices aren't really any cheaper than other spots, so it didn't feel worth it for the quality. Place has lots seatings, not a long wait. Service is decent. Overall, I would probably check other Mexican restaurants out.

    On Saturday, March 7th, my husband and I went out for dinner and drinks at one of our usual…read moreneighborhood spots. Since this restaurant is just around the corner, we typically come here a couple of times a week. We're there almost every Monday evening and often stop in for a lunch date during the week. Unfortunately, this visit was a complete disaster. We recently got a new puppy and decided to bring him along since the patio is pet-friendly. It was actually our first time sitting in the patio area. I ordered my usual drink: a Cadillac margarita with a side of Grand Marnier. When the waitress brought the drinks, the Grand Marnier "float" was served on the side in a standard shot glass, which normally holds about 1.25 oz - 1.5 oz. However, the glass was filled less than a quarter of the way. Honestly it looked like maybe a tablespoon of liquor, and that's being generous. I asked the waitress about it, and she explained that she was new and currently on her third day of training. She had been instructed that the float should be 1.5 oz. Lol I pointed out that what was in the glass wasn't even close to a half ounce and asked to speak with the manager. The manager came out with a noticeable attitude and insisted that this was what they consider a "float" for their Cadillac margarita. She even suggested that I must have been receiving free alcohol on previous visits. My husband looked at me completely confused and clearly irritated. The manager also mentioned that a shot of Grand Marnier costs $8, as if I was asking for something for free. At that point, I told her to keep the drinks and we got up and left. If less than a tablespoon is considered a float for a Cadillac margarita, then this restaurant is seriously misleading customers. I do want to say that the waitress was very kind and clearly trying her best. This situation was not her fault, and I wish her the best. Unfortunately, the management's lack of customer service completely ruined the experience. I'll never understand how people with terrible attitudes end up in management positions especially when dealing with customers. After leaving, we went up the street to Rio Mirage, where we had dinner and excellent margaritas. That will definitely be our new go-to spot for better food, better drinks, and far better customer service.
