    Came here for lunch during the weekday and the place was pretty empty. Live vibrant colors and loved the "Lucha Libra" themed decor throughout. Place was pretty clean and the service was quick. Ordered tostados chicken and steak the seasoning was good had good flavor however the tostados shells tasted stale and hard. Ordered the torta that was amazing. Good flavor from the meat the sandwich was pretty good. Also ordered the choriqueso but subbed the meat for the al pastor. Amazing! Tried the Kriptonita drink was a little too sweet for my liking but it was strong. Will come back at night to see the vibes and try different menu items

    Alambres carne asada
    Julie S.

    We lived in South Texas for 20+ years and were looking for something authentic. This was NOT it. Subpar service. Waited for 10+ minutes to get chips and another 10 until our server came and offered drinks. We were there way early. 4:30 on a Saturday. I'd hate to see the service when they are busy. Ordered the choriqueso, poblano enchiladas and Alambres carne asada - basically tiny fajitas. The enchiladas had no flavor. Bland chicken and the sauce tasted like just puréed peppers. No seasoning. When my husband salts his food, you know it's flavorless. The choriqueso had a tiny sprinkle of cheese, hardly any queso. No free drinks. All drinks including water is bottled. They certainly got the social influencers to come out in droves, but skip this if you want good food, unless you just want the hype.

    Looked for an amazing Mexican Restaurant and we're so happy we found one! As soon as you walk in they have a big TV screen on the back wall with good music. We were Sat where the music wasn't too loud but I did get under an AC unit that dripped a little, but they moved me when I mentioned it. I ordered the burrito Chilango and my wife ordered the street tacos. Both were very delicious! My wife also got the Horchata and it tastes incredible! Carlos was a great server, really took care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Management continued to check on us throughout the experience. 10/10 would recommend.

    First time here and I have to say I'm a little disappointed but nothing that wouldn't make me not want to come back. I ordered the Quesachorizo "no onions" but guess what it had extra onions. It took so long to get our food, it is Sunday, but excuses, right? They offered to fix it and I said no because everyone was almost done eating by the time I was able to point it out. They ended up making me a togo. They were so busy, which is good, but they can't handle it and half the staff waits for food to come out of an eternally slow kitchen. That being said, the food we ordered everyone liked, was well-presented, and the staff was friendly. The salsa is awkwardly served in bottles that aren't made for it but they tasted really good and spicy. Otherwise, everything is in small disposable containers.

    I had the tacos al pastor. I had seen posts on Instagram and everything looked delicious. The tacos were okay. They lacked flavor. The salsas were not very good either, not very flavorful. The margarita was okay. I have tasted better food and drinks. I was not impressed by the flavors. The service was good. It is a fun place. There was a DJ so that was fun but we didn't stay long. We drove from Tulsa. I am not planning to return.

    Every once in a while a place comes around and it manages to capture a specific moment. El Chilango does exactly that after 9 pm on a late weekend night. The tunes are goin', the orders are flowin' and the trompo is rollin'. Loud with conversation and music. All as you patiently await for mouthwatering tacos while you ponder a second round on the after. I have to take a moment to talk about a legendary establishment. I was disappointed to find out that an unrelated taco shop perished about 2-3 years ago. Cardenas, a heavyweight within the OKC area. Alas, I can't see or smell what they're cooking anymore.. But about 2 years ago Chilango came around, and it's a worthy contender. Another that can take the reins for the best taco in OKC. IMHO, ofc. When I see the trompo, I know there's a high likelihood that the al pastor tacos will be absolutely superior. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were, and were even better with the creamy green and red salsas that Chilango had to offer. The red salsa was spicy and flavorful. The green salsa was balanced and rich in savory notes. I wasn't a fan of the third molcajete-style salsa, but we won't talk about that. The al pastor, asada, and campechano tacos with a dash of lime, and prepped all the way with cilantro and onions are perfection. Perfección. Perfezione. Perfectum. Come to think of it, there's some similarities between the sauces and tacos to Chilango and Cardenas--but maybe that's just my delighted delirious-driven conspiracy theory. Don't sleep on this place. Don't sleep on their volcanes either, it's their version of a vampiro. Actually, order it as your second round. It's a great presentation of a tortilla grilled to a crisp like a tostada, loaded with cheese and topped with a meat of your choice--all the way of course. Great service. Great food. Great place. I'll be looking forward to OKC in the future, just for Chilangos.

    Wonderful from the moment you walk in! Exciting little place we had been waiting to try and never did. Today was the day. Wonderful queso and guacamole. Amazing chilango and enchiladas mineras. We will make this a regular stop

    Omg special request
    Alaura E.

    Wow! Amazed! Enthused! In heaven! So delicious! The staff was super friend and welcoming when we walked in. They made me an incredible special request mango margarita with the works. I love how so many people patronized the business which shows me it is a staple in the local community. It was busy as the time but out food came out so fast, hot and fresh. The enchiladas and the barbacoa taco were my favorite. Literally everything was incredible!

    Man, where do I start? The food was incredible. The drinks were amazing and the staff made each of those experiences even better. I love the decoration the vibe I love how they always have different nights for different activities. The waitwasn't too long even though they were packed.! But the service as I mentioned earlier was incredible!!!!

    Dry, tasteless.    Best part was the tiny slivers of avocado

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

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

    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.
