I visited Reino 44 in Fontana a few months ago and ordered the green aguachiles. The flavor was…read moregood, and they were definitely spicy -- I enjoy spicy food, but these had enough heat that I needed a little break between bites. I was there enjoying them with a beer and good conversation. We were taking our time eating and enjoying our drinks; the aguachiles were not the only thing on our table. While we were still eating, someone from the kitchen came out and asked if he could take our plate. We politely said no thank you because we were still working on it. A few minutes later he came back and insisted on taking the plate, saying something along the lines of, "A clean table makes a consumer buy more," but the way it was said came across as rude and made us feel rushed. If the plate had been mostly empty, with just a couple of pieces left, I would have completely understood. But that wasn't the case -- I had only eaten about 2-3 shrimp out of a dozen. I shared how I felt, explaining that I understood clearing finished plates, but we were clearly not done. His response was dismissive and he walked away. The food had potential, and the aguachiles had good flavor, but the service experience left me disappointed. Sometimes giving guests a little time to enjoy their meal, conversation, and drinks makes a bigger difference than having a perfectly cleared table.

I cannot believe I have never written a review for El Chilitos Mexican Restaurant. It's our go-to…read morefor Mexican take-out and yes, we order take-out once or twice a month, which in our house translates to "no cooking." What I always order (and I'm boringly consistent) is Two hard shell shredded beef tacos with rice and beans. The tacos always arrive with the perfect amount of meat, crisp lettuce, and a tasty amount of cheese. The shell stays crispy and never turns into a soggy tortilla which is a win! Rice is fluffy and well seasoned. The Beans are creamy, savory, and basically soul-warming! I can never finish the beans the portions are good. The Hubby gets the carne asada burrito, which is so huge it could double as a pillow after a long day. He swears it's delicious and I've "sampled" a bite and yes, the flavor is there, very satisfying. Chips and salsa come complimentary even with to-go orders! It's around $32 for my taco plate and the carne asada burrito is a bit more but you're getting a lot of goodness for your bucks. We always order take-out, and somehow - somehow - the food lands back home still warm. Magic? Maybe! We've never eaten in so I can't speak to the dine-in vibe. Reason being it is a tiny restaurant but it always looks clean and has a sitting area for to-go orders. My only tiny gripe when we call to place an order, there are moments where I'm on hold while the staff seem to have a full-blown conversation. Ten minutes later, they remember I'm on the line. It's not a deal breaker, just a "huh, okay" moment I file under "worth the wait for the fix." Bottom line: Expect satisfaction from El Chilitos. It's my dependable, no-surprises, "I'm craving comfort Mexican food" go-to. Consistent quality, reliable flavors, and a taxi-cab of a burrito. My pictures are horrible but I promise to eat there again and share more!

You walk in and get "hola, joven" before the door shuts behind you. I'd ordered takeout. The woman at the register talked me out of it, which was the correct call and not mine to make.

Obviously yes. All of that happened before the food came out, which is the part worth writing down. Hospitality here isn't a service standard. It's just how the room works. Then the carne asada wet burrito. Chopped beef, great texture, and the serving was plenty. The sauce on top, beautiful red, great flavor, and perfect temperature.

I've never spent any time in Fontana so this was a first experience here. Had to pick something up…read morewhich lead us to here. Rush hour is still no joke trying to get anywhere these days. Trying to find a place along the strip was pretty hard. We asked someone where to go for food and they even mentioned for us to go to Rancho if we wanted something fancy. But with traffic and going the opposite direction, that made the decision to stay. Let me say, Fontana does have a lot of Mexican restaurants to choose from. Good in a sense but bad as you don't know which one is good. We originally stopped off at a place that was recommended but from the look out front, they were renovating while the place was still open. It just didn't looked welcoming. It could have but first impression wasn't there. Hence we ended up here which was literally a minute or so from it. Theres a massive parking lot for the restaurant. As we were walking in, they do have a pretty big patio area that looks out to the lot. There's also a section that inside. We didn't know that you would have to order at the counter and the seat yourself. Found that out later. The inside section was smaller but it's where you would go if you wanted the ac. It was hot but bearable so we were ok with sitting outside. Menu, a bit of everything. Downfall, we did asked if they had happy hour as that what we were looking for but they didn't. The cashier didn't really understand what we meant but said they had it on Tuesday which was odd for one day. She probably meant taco Tuesday specials. Oh, they don't serve alcohol so there goes happy hour...lol... Food, we got an order of the enchiladas plate which came with beans and rice for a really affordable price. It was pretty filling and quite nice. I was craving ceviche but they didn't really have it but did have tostada with shrimp cocktail. It was decent but too sweet for me. That wasn't too filling so ordered some of the street tacos. They're quite small so a few were ordered. The Al pastor tends to be my go too but these were a little on the overcooked and dry side. The birria was quite nice and juicy. And lastly the carnitas, it was good and cooked well but overall the birria was the winner. Food was good so that was nice. Just didn't like the ordering first and seating yourself. They also had a salsa bar with 4 choices to choose from as well as hot beans where you can serve yourself. That's a first with the beans for me as I've never been to a place where you can serve yourself beans. Plus chips are an additional fee. Overall, the place was nice. Tacos and enchiladas were great.

I arrived to my destination to eat my tacos I open up the foil and this is what I found very messy and disgusted I couldn't even pick it up to eat one because it was so so messy so I wrap them back up in the same foil and came back to the restaurant. I informed that cashier lady that I wanted my tacos redone by placing them correctly. The cooker ended up just separating same tacos and putting them in a plate I told him no that's not how you serve tacos when you have 3 different meats especially if they're in some sauce. Then another kind gentleman came and said he will go ahead and make three new tacos individually wrapped. I apologize for not getting his name Carmelo was not happy with me but either was I with him So here are some photos on how I receive in the beginning and then how I received at the end.

With the shredded lettuce, cotija cheese, sour cream, and avocado. It had the perfect mix of freshness and crunch To drink, I tried cebada for the first time and I'm officially a fan It tasted like a mix between horchata and chocolate milk... such a good combo If you love tortilla soup, RUN don't walk ‍ it's a limited-time special! The tender chicken, crispy chips, and toppings like avocado, purple onion, cotija, and sour cream made it an absolute dream The barbacoa was super tender and flavorful, served with pasta salad, beans, and handmade tortillas everything tasted homemade and comforting The pork tamale was giving soft and tender on the inside with a slightly crispy, pan-fried outer layer. And they did not skimp on the filling...lots of meat and potatoes The machaca had so much flavor I loved the veggies and potatoes, paired with beans and rice. It was hearty and satisfying The ceviche was bright, fresh, and citrusy right up my alley! I would've loved a little more spice, but the homemade tostadas took it to another level Quesabirria tacos? Always a yes cheesy, tender, flavorful meat with consomé for dipping... say less paired with cheesy beans and rice = perfection For dessert, I got the corn elote soft, sweet, and delicious. I also tried it pan-fried and it gave caramel brûlée vibes so good! This spot feels like you're eating a home-cooked meal made with love and intention Great service and ambiance. "Las cosas buenas toman tiempo" and you can definitely taste that here
