The food was not as good as all the hype I've been seeing on this place it wasn't bad just not what you expect when going to an authentic Mexican restaurant read more

We found this restaurant on TikTok and it looked good... we were excited to try it due to the hype it had on tiktok. We waited 40 min to get chips and salsa plus we had to hit the call button for the waitress a million times because she wouldn't bring our drinks. AC doesn't work so a cold drink would be nice to cool down but we didn't get ice in our drinks either. Other tables were being waited on while we had to wait 40 minutes to get our order taken. This was very disappointing especially because we are out of town and we were exploring different restaurants, I doubt we will be back. read more

The truth is that we are very disappointed. We were expecting something good. The gorditas had almost no meat and the tortilla dough tasted like lime. The green enchiladas had a horrible raw sauce and almost no meat. It was too expensive for such poor quality. read more

Fun environment and music. The service is great. Very polite. The salsa is good if you like that HEAT! No joke! We will be back for sure read more

Came in with my family and had a great meal overall! I ordered the hurache with Al pastor and it was good - house salsa was delicious and spicy (as it should be)! I was enjoying it so much I remembered to take a photo halfway through. Table service was excellent and they were very attentive to our needs. We came to grab lunch a bit on the early side (11:30) but by the time we left at 1, this place was poppin. I'd love to see them operating for the night life scene, it is so charming and unique! Definitely will make a return to try some of the other menu items.p read more

Great Tacos and Great Service and Atmosphere. Mid chips and salsa. I can go without them

Drove a hour to eat at this restaurant. We were excited to try the food and drinks. There were 5 people in our group and they seated us quickly. The waitress took our drink order and brought chips and salsa. Took a minute for the drinks but it was disappointing. They had pics and didn't come that way. Then we waited and waited for someone to take our order. We flagged someone down and asked but nothing. So we she finally came, we payed our ticket and went to saltgrass. read more

This place is a go to for tacos. The tortas is amazing as well. Service is always very friendly. This place is 5* for food and quality. The location is a lil rough and seating is difficult. I still think it's worth visiting often regardless. Enjoy! read more

This place is geared towards the younger crowd. I ordered a taco and the pozole. The taco was a beef taco that was pretty good. The green chili pozole was piping hot and very flavorful. It was large enough I took half home for another meal. The service was fast and the waiter nicely answered our questions. read more

Food was good but not enough tortillas. One bowl of chips for four people, no salsa, just dipping sauce. No beans or rice. Service was worse than awful. Took 20 minutes to order our drinks and another 15 minutes to get them. Hostess finally took our order after complaining to her twice. Food was served about ten minutes later. Took another 15 minutes to get our check. Five people walked around with headsets, but the restaurant size didn't warrant two headsets. Spent $90 for four people, wasn't worth half that. Ambiance wasn't anything special read more

If you enjoy extremely greasy food, loud music and poor service look no further you found your place. The chips and salsa were the highlight of this place. read more

El Chilango - T Soft drinks - Mexican Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Saw this place on TikTok wanted to go celebrate my birthday on Saturday night. We put our name on the waitlist and were told 30-35 min wait. We waited outside in the heat and went in to cool off. I counted 6 empty tables and politely asked why they were not seating people I was told very rudely by the employee the kitchen was backed up. They wouldn't be seating anyone anytime soon there was at least a 40 more min wait and 8 tables ahead of me. (We had already been waiting 1 hour at this point)I asked if we could just sit bc I wasn't feeling well and she told me to go wait in my car. I laid my buzzer on the hostess stand and left. Probably won't return bc the restaurant might seem fun but obviously it's poorly run. read more

WOW. This is the real deal! The tacos are very authentic and the ambiance is one of a kind.

Amazing food and great atmosphere and vibe. Small restaurant, but very delicious. I ordered to go so I'm not sure about the service, but I do know they were friendly when I went in and the food was simply amazing. read more

Well I was hoping for some great Mexican tacos, meat was really dry, they were real busy so I don't know if that's why didn't seam to have it together, I'll stick with taco San Pedro much better tacos , you make the choice! read more

The portions are small and the prices are expensive for the amount of food you get. The restaurant is very small packed like sardines

The food was decent, but not even great. The service was definitely the slowest of any place like this we've tried in the area. We waited 45 mins for one dish and one taco. The waitress took an additional 20 mins to bring us the ticket after we asked for it. The music was overly loud at some points, which we expect from a place like this.. but theirs was a bit over the top. We won't be going back. read more

The food is good, a little bit too pricey for the amount of food. The service is friendly, structure might be needed. They had great music playing, at some point they started doing karaoke which is always fun. The way they do drinks is terrible. Bottled coke at a restaurant, really? It feels like they want you to keep buying the bottle coke instead of providing refills (maybe for a price too) but their drinks menu deff needs to be redone. read more

The food was good but the place was so crowded and small.. it must be really good to be that busy.... Right.. lol

Margaritas are amazing and the food is delicious. It's a small place so evenings and weekend can be busy, but nothing crazy!

It's late, I'm hungry, this is open. This is delicious. A lit up spot in a shopping center off of 44th & Penn did nothing but deliver on every point of service for my friend and I after a late night working. From the street, it says OPEN. We pulled in. The walls are covered in wrestling decor of all kinds. You should stop in to see what I mean. It's an open kitchen so you know they are doing their best to keep it clean and handle your food with care. That's important. The nice lady who attempted to take out drink order asked if we could speak Spanish and we answered no. With a smile she asked us to wait a moment. Moments after, a friendly man who spoke English came to take our order. The food came out promptly and exactly as we asked. All the while, people kept walking in the door. Bottled water is served when you ask for water. Sodas are served in 20oz bottles. You'll spend a little bit, if you know what I mean. Not toooooo much. They do keep the doors open though so I can't complain. :) I give this place 5 stars. I will definitely be back with more friends. It's the perfect place for a quick date night bite, late night stop in, or a grab and go. I haven't been here in the day so I'll have to fill you in on that later. I've gotta tell my sister about this place. read more

The Al pastor and asada tacos were AMAZING!!!!! Best I've had in so long. Service was good, not too rushed and didn't take forever. The decor definitely reminds me of the taco stands in Mexico and music wasn't too loud. read more

The absolute best tacos - the Al Pastor was spicy and perfect! The hot sauces are truly a Mexican experience, not Tex Mex! I'll be back for more! read more

Delicious food. Much more fun than your typical mexican restaurant. Music is good. Service is good. Menu offers a lot of fresh colorful plates. read more

This restaurant just opened. We ordered street tacos al pastor and suadero. Each one came out super juicy and flavorful! The owner and servers were very friendly as well. You should stop by and bring the family. Que ricos son! Buen Provecho! read more

We decided to check out El Chilango after seeing it online. We visited at 7pm on a Monday and it was mostly full but we didn't have to wait for a table. Vibe is lively and casual; luchador decor, wrestling on the TVs and festive music. Fresh chips, green salsa and a pineapple relish (sweet with a warm aftertaste) are brought to the table, good flavor on all. Our servers were helpful and attentive but it was a bit of a wait to get our drinks and food after ordering. We got a Paloma and regular margarita to drink, both good (and a bit strong!). We ordered the chorizo queso which was very good and had a cute presentation; they torched the unmelted cheese on top at the table (see video). It's served with street taco-sized corn tortillas and my husband said he could have just eaten that for dinner; I ate it with our chips. Husband got three street tacos, al pastor, steak and sualdero; he said the al pastor was the best. I had the chicken quesadilla which was good and very filling (picture included). I am a wimp with spice and it was not spicy at all which is always appreciated, but they do bring three different sauces to the table with your chips, which my husband added to his tacos. My husband's main complaint is their only beer options were Corona and Michelob Ultra, but that's probably fine for most people. Also most of their chairs are backless, which can be hard on some people. But overall a good experience! read more

If I could do zero I would. Super crowded, music waaay to loud. After 45mins of waiting. Chips and salsa is all we had. Servers jump from table to table like they dont have a set of tables to work with. We left to go elsewhere. Very disappointed. read more

Alex the owner is very nice! Great Authentic food, not what you would eat at a chain Mexican restaurant. Would highly recommend! read more

The food was just ok. Nothing special. All hype. Perhaps more of a bar. Is it a club or a restaurant? Super expensive for what you get.

Amazing food, tacos el pastor, chicken flauta and MANGO MARGARITAS!!!!!!!!!!Before u die please go, you will not be disappointed

The food was so good. Drinks were exceptional. The lime margarita was on point! Will definitely be returning. My picky husband was even impressed. Will be back! read more

Awesome place, love the atmosphere and fantastic food. Open late, and excellent service always good entertainment

Not a good vibe. Food was fair but not good. Our server -meh! Tables were dirty and after totalling or meal, of roughly 60.00' my bank showed a debit of 82.97! They can keep it. I'll never go back. Watch out if you go! read more

Great atmosphere! Food was fresh and full of flavor! They custom make flavored waters that are delicious! Service was quick!

I had a really disappointing experience at this restaurant. The wait time was incredibly long, which was frustrating. When the food finally arrived, it was dry and lacked flavor. To top it off, the service was terrible. The staff was inattentive and unhelpful. I definitely won't be coming back. don't come here it's not worth it. read more

Must try! Better food than all 73 restaurants I tried in Mexico. Quick, economical, and delectable!

It is a great place with good food, but the security guard is on a power trip and disrespectful. After a night of drinking and looking for a place to eat, my group of friends and I showed up to a busy building. I pulled open the door that the security guard was apparently slightly leaning on and he proceeded to yell at me for pulling on his "fu***** door" causing him to stumble back. He said he could arrest me for causing him harm. The food is great, but I do not know if I will be returning after that interaction with a security guard thinking he is in the secret service protecting the kraby patty formula. read more

Food is awesome. I got barbacoa and al pastor tacos, rice and beans. My wife got a Chicken quesadilla. They strive to serve authentic Mexican food, not tex-mex. I've eaten at a lot of places and I've never had beans like I did at El Chilango, and they were very good. The barbacoa was on point to. You get a variety of different salsas to top on your food and ad flavor. I will say if you like it spicy you will love it. They have bottled beer and margaritas if you want alcohol. The prices are really good as well, cheaper than most set down Tex-Mex places. The inside of the restaurant is done up with luchador masks which as a wrestling fan is pretty cool. If you like Mexican food you have to give El Chilango a try! read more
