Very good shrimp cocktail. Also had chicken enchiladas with verde sauce which was delicious. Service was good. Very popular spot.

First time, won't be my last! We went for a super early dinner on Taco Tuesday. We were a shade too early - the frozen margaritas weren't frozen yet. Disappointed! But, that was the only disappointment I experienced. Chips and salsa were great. Take a peek at the picture and you'll see they add a little salt and seasoning to the chips. I had the cheese enchiladas with verde sauce. Delish! And the serving size was just right. Full, but not stuffed. My parents split a bowl - beef I think. They enjoyed it. The service was top notch. I recommend this place for: people who like food, people who want a waitress to treat them nicely, people who are hungry, people who want to dine but don't want to wait a half hour to be served ... basically everyone. I recommend this place for everyone. read more

My new favorite Mexican restaurant! We have ate at hundreds of Mexican restaurants all across the country and this one is by far the absolute BEST I have ever had. Everything we got was delicious, chips and salsa were great, and the service was spectacular! I personally got the Gordita with grilled chicken and I would be willing to drive the hour back over here from Mobile just to eat it again soon! read more

We went for lunch on a Saturday and we were immediately greeted and seated. We ordered queso and guacamole and it was plenty to eat with the delicious tortilla chips. I ordered the Huaraches and it was delicious! You could tell the tortilla was freshly made. The steak was tender and flavorful. The setting is nice and colorful and comfortable to sit and enjoy the meal. We will definitely be back! read more

El Chilango - Huaraches - Mexican Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

Great food, margaritas & service! Loved the Nenas enchiladas can't wait to try other options that you don't see on most coast menus!

We enjoyed El Chilango so much that we decided to go back again tonight. The food here is excellent. Great service, a convenient location, extremely fair pricing all adds up to what is our new favorite, and go to, place for Mexican on the coast. We found it as the result of an article in the Biloxi Sun Herald naming it the best Mexican restaurant in the state of Mississippi. I haven't sampled Mexican food throughout the state, but as far as the coast is concerned, I can say that this is, if not the best then, one of the best. Don't wait, go get some. read more

The service is amazing our waitress was super sweet. They seem to have a great environment and while pretty busy they were not ever overwhelmed and had seating available on the day we went for dinner. We were sat and waited on instantly. The food was absolutely amazing. Salsa and chips were 10/10 and some of the best Birria tacos I've had. Prices were very reasonable and definitely not as expensive as other places around. read more

Stopped in here tonight with family. We had a group of 6 and got seated promptly. I had the Huaraches and it was absolutely fantastic! Full of flavor and the pickled onions added a great flavor to this dish My wife had the taco loco and she was highly impressed!! The manager and my apologies to him for not catching his name,but he came by our table to ask us if we had been there before or our first time,which it was . He proceeded to ask us what we had decided to have and gave us all advice on our choices. And i honestly appreciate that. Service was fast and friendly and they kept all of our drinks full. All in all i highly recommend this place! But words of advice this is a small restaurant so seating is limited so on a busy night it my tale some time to get seated. read more

The food was just okay. I hade the steak machete (Mexican quesadilla) , the meat was tender it just lacked flavor. Everything needed just a little more salt. The refried beans were absolutely delicious! The service was very nice. Everyone was friendly and our party of 7 was on the waitlist and by the time we drove 10 minutes to the restaurant our table was ready. Great family friendly environment. Give them a try! read more

Our First visit to El Chilango was wonderful. We love Chicken Tortilla Soup and eat it whenever we go to a Mexican Restaurant. Their Chicken Tortilla Soup is Fabulous. It is very Fresh Shredded Chicken Breast, Full of Veggies, Very tasty Broth, and all the fixings like Avacado, Grated Cheese, Diced Tomatoes, Lettuce and Tortilla Strips Served on the side. I give it a 10 out of 10 rating. Also Impeccable Prompt Service with a Smile. We will most definitely be a return customer. read more

Food was disgusting! The queso was super runny with zero flavor. The customer service was on point though.

Excellent food and staff! I can't recommend this place enough! Can't believe that they are able to stay open despite the landlord of the building being a convicted felon from Colombia and never fixing anything at the building and squeezing his tenants rent read more

We fed 4 people. Took home lots of leftover. Everything was tasty. The beef soup was AMAZING! Big enough serving for 2. It was so yummy we took an order home for grandma! Cheese dip, salsa, guacamole & entrees all fresh and delicious. Very clean & super cute paintings on wall & decor! Will definitely be back! read more

Great different real Mex. hidden on Cowan.Do much more than usual. And some "real" stuff too.

We arrived in town and wanted something as we were getting hungry. Saw the reviews were good but it was a small place. There were 6 of us eating and drinking margaritas. The drinks were very good and refreshing. We all ordered something different, and every item was delicious. Very ecnomical as well. 2 drinks and 2 dinners on my tab was 45 dollars. Not bad at all. read more

My party was seated immediately. Chips and salsa were yummy. Cheese dip was very smooth and paired well with the salsa. I ordered their Sarita's enchiladas with red sauce instead of melted cheese. Their red sauce is delicious and resembles mole. Their menu includes some items I haven't seen in other local Mexican restaurants. I would like to try more entrees in the future. read more

Fun decor & atmosphere. This is our new go to Mexican restaurant! The food was fresh & delish! The menu has a fun flare to it & offers so many interesting dishes that aren't common to the "regular old local Mexican restaurant" menu we're all tired of. The food was 10/10 and our server was kind & attentive. We will be back! read more

This was our first time here. We were seated immediately. Our sever was very friendly and attentive. The chips and salsa were very good. I asked for some spicy green sauce that was very tasty! We liked the open concept grill. It made the atmosphere cool. We had two pork tacos and one chicken taco. I also had an un sweet ice tea that was very good. The owner Ozzy stoped by our table to check on our food and service. We were very impressed and will definitely be back! read more

We decided to go to this restaurant after reading an article about it in the newspaper. We now agree that this is the best Mexican restaurant in Mississippi. The service was superb. My Tampiquena steak was amazing. My wife's soup was wonderful. Being able to watch the chefs at work was a delight. The owner is a very nice host. A definite do over. read more

Just not good at all, went with 3 colleagues, and the food was sub par. Greasy and no flavor Birria Tacos.

The restaurant was clean with a great vibe. Food was fresh and yummy! Everyone was so accommodating and helpful. Will be returning.

Fantastic service and amazing food! The closest thing to authentic Mexican food you'll find around here. Street tacos were top notch! And guacamole was fresh and delicious! read more

Really good food and service! I got the sampler appetizer and two al pastor tacos and they were really good!

WOW! Just WOW! Arrived at their rush hour, but was greeted hospitably as we entered, and seated promptly. Our order was well received by Osmar. Upon inquiry regarding their Surf and Turf he gave a spot on description of it being delectable. It was a hollowed half pineapple filled to overflowing with steak, chicken and shrimp along with pineapple chunks, sautéed green peppers and onions. On the side was refried beans, rice, sour cream and a lettuce mix to fill the three soft taco shells. Simply amazing! Osmar was just spot on with this one! My husband had the soft shell taco plate with ground beef and inhaled it before I was even halfway. He said the taco meat was very tasty and overall agreed with me it was the best Mexican food we'd ever partaken. Our order arrived at our table in no time after we placed it. The restaurant is not very big to meet its popularity, but was clean and inviting. Osmar came right over to assure we were comfortable and to answer any questions. If you don't try this restaurant and soon it really is your loss. Not too often I've found a place to meet my level of perfection, but this place does! The food is authentic Mexican. The presentation beautiful. Not a bad thing to say about this wonderful little restaurant. read more

Excellent service food was very good great atmosphere I really enjoyed had wonderful time I recommend everyone come and try EL CHilango

Authentic food and great service! This restaurant opened near my house and I decided to go give it a try. They offer more traditional dishes from Mexico city over standard Tex-Mex which I enjoyed to see. I ordered the slow roasted pork and have no complaints it was delicious. The staff was very friendly and even explained and broke down some of their dishes to us as we weren't familiar with. The restaurant is clean and well put together, I visited the previous establishment and was impressed with how they've used the space compared to the previous, it is a bit on the smaller side but it is utilized extremely well. Overall, loved this restaurant, the food was great, service was great, and I will definitely make this a staple spot for me. read more

Went with a friend for lunch after seeing good reviews on this restaurant. It was busy but the interior was pleasant. This was honestly the worst Mexican food I've ever had and I'm including Taco Bell when I say this. I ordered a burrito as I always do on my first visit. First, I received the wrong protein but because there was so little of it, I was not sure at first. I was served a chicken burrito. There was no sauce on it. It was filled with nothing but watery beans and guacamole and was runny and tasteless. It was served with fries (?). My friend had stuffed avocado with chicken. It too was pathetic although at least you could tell it was chicken. Just plain avocado halves with a little bit of shredded chicken on top with about a teaspoon of sauce (or cheese) on top. Even their salsa was bland and not a chunk of anything in it - super thin. Don't tell me this is authentic because I am from Southern CA and have stayed in Mexico City. Our waitress was nice and a bit overwrought. No complaints with her. It was not even cheap for the quality of food ($16 for burrito). Too many good Mexican restaurants around to bother with this place. read more
