A little family owned restaurant that has delicious food. Nothing fancy just great food and service. I love this place.

I was really impressed with this place, not only for the amazing food with lots of variety; but also for the warmth from the staff and cooks. Go support your local small buisness. I hear they have an EPIC Cinco de Mayo menu. Check it out for yourself read more

Remote worker here. I go into my actual office building about once every 6 weeks and then only for an hour or so. This week I was there for 8 whole hours. Omg I knoorrrrrrr. My coworkers recommended this spot for lunch and it was in walking distance. Like honest walking distance. Not marathon walking distance IYKYK. Anyway I drove lmao. I'm on a budget and stockpiling cash since half of yinz felt like destroying the country 3 weeks ago. $10 and under was the sweet spot. I opted for the chorizo fries. Me and the group chat have been talking about the moment that nacho fries are having so how could I resist?? I got a HUGE container for $10 and stole a quick bite back at my desk. Unfortch I didn't get to really eat them until the evening when I got back home because I had calls all day but they looked and tasted just as glorious re-crisped in my air fryer. Piled high with chorizo, an abundance of thick, crispy seasoned fries, cilantro, jalapeños, cheese. Whew!! I couldn't even finish them all. I saw so many things there that I wanted. I'll definitely be back. Ample parking, eat-in or take out, efficient service, great food. We love a local spot! read more

Not much to look at but quick and the food is good. Went for a Monday lunch. The two of us ordered specials. Yes I know that goes against conventional wisdom but they were good.We had a green pozole, a big barbicaoa, burrito, a special barria taco- all good. Prices are reasonable and it's BYOB. read more

Ordered through DoorDash. Food was extremely good. Ordered the quesadillas. Delicious. I will reorder from this restaurant

I was never even a huge fan of authentic Mexican food. I used to stick with the basics. But now I love the whole menu. Great place great food read more

Came here for a burrito to go. I got the carnitas. The meat was flavorful and tender and big chunks of it filled my giant burrito. I didn't have to wait long even though they were very busy. This is a very authentic Mexican spot. I wish they spruced up their interior slightly because I think I'd enjoy staying there to eat more. I'll definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu though. read more

Been here a few times- quality food ... my only complaint is that they have charged me 3 different amounts when ordering the same thing... the food is honestly the best in the area... read more

Legit solid Mexican cuisine. The outside of the establishment looks lowkey but this place turns out some awesome burritos, guac, tacos, etc. You typically leave this place filled to the gills as the portions are respectable. If you have room for dessert, try their flan or carrot cake, so good. read more

Stopped by to have a new experience of my usual places I tend to go as I love Authentic Mexican food and been to many but this one right here has to be the worst I've been to I read the reviews n all say it's a good place but I think those who have this a 4/5 star review really doesn't know what authentic Mexican food is this place is disappointing beans r not even cooked taste like they just came out of a can , the vagus out of the jars they sell at Walmart and the Horchata water made from the powder mix's sold t Walmart as well kid's quesadillas also something a 10 yr old could do everything i ordered was disgraceful and the place looks dim and filthy ceilings would never go by again read more

This is my go to Mexican restaurant Small family run restaurant Friendly staff Excellent food Accommodating to customers requests BYOB Highly recommended read more

I've tried several dishes here and everything's been delicious but the chicken fajitas are my absolute favorite! Not only is the food good but the lady at the counter is always so sweet and accommodating. I've been coming here for years and I've never been disappointed. Would highly recommend! read more

Zooming down 22, you might miss this spot but that would be a huge mistake because the food here is soooo delicious and so fresh. Forget chipotle or whatever other fake Mexican food place you used to go to and come here for all your taco, burrito, enchilada and chimichanga needs I got the chicken chimichanga and I was soo satisfied. It was huge for decent money and incredibly tasty and flavorful. The salsa verde is so delicious. The chimichanga has tons of chicken and beans inside and it's just overall an amazing meal. This is a perfect spot for a date night, a lunch moment or for takeout. Definitely come here and tip the waiters well they are a small staff and bust their butts to make sure everyone has everything they need! Service is great. Food is even better ! read more

Stumbled across this little family run place by accident on a recent family trip to New Jersey. As a native San Diego resident and no stranger to very good Mexican cuisine, I thought this place was absolutely fantastic and one of the best south of the border restaurants in New Jersey by far. read more

Don't miss the new tres leches desserts: outstanding! Everything they serve here is fabulous. read more

Delicious tacos, quick service and I love the ambience with music in the background. I was staying around the area for a wedding and decided to try a local Mexican restaurant close to the hotel... read more

Most often I get the tacos and they are delicious. Their food is authentic with a bit of a twist sometimes reflected in their specials. There's not a lot of options for Mexican food in this area, so I would have to say this is the best. I always like to support small businesses rather than chain restaurants. read more

Accidently found this place trying to figure out what the bakery was next door when searching online, since I pass these places going to and from work. Took the misses out one night, to try this place out and it did not disappoint. Really delicious food and friendly staff. read more

This place is the bomb. All I have ever gotten --- all my family has ever gotten -- are the hard carnitas tacos, because they are so dang good we cannot imagine getting anything else. So I cannot speak to any of the other food, but the friends who introduced me to Los Chilitos rave about everything else. Do yourselves a favor and pay them a visit. read more

Their food is fresh and authentic! Best enchiladas and salsas! You won't be disappointed! read more

What a find! Passing through on my way to Canada, needed lunch and just happened to be a mile from Los Chilitos. The previous reviews are correct - delicious food, friendly service, reasonable prices. The beef barbacoa taco was fantastic and the habeñero salsa was hot and yet had a ton of flavor including a delightful smokiness. If you like Mexican food, do yourself a favor and try Los Chilitos. read more

Coming from Texas where homemade tamales are part of our holiday celebration the family took a chance and ordered three dozen pork tamales from Los Chilitos to be picked up on the 23rd of December. These pork tamales were larger and much more flavorful than the mail-order ones we are used to ordering from San Antonio. I can not express how nice it is to purchase great tamales once again now that we live in New Jersey. I must say for some unknown reason my trousers have shrank! read more

They need to improve they food quality, Just not what I expected. Service is really nice read more

This post is about Los Chilitos restaurant. We have been coming here for as long as they have been open. We drive from Flemington to enjoy this great Mexican food. Today we brought our kids in to eat. 5 of us where enjoy the food and the employee's service. When I got the bill and it's was wrong and when I asked the server about it she informed me that the owner had a 18% gratuity charge for five or more people in a party. I was totally fine with it and said that is your tip right? The response was " no it's the owners charge and we do not get the whole 18%". I was flabbergasted when I heard that! The owner is keeping part of the servers tips!!! I asked to speak to the owner and he was not available. I will also be calling to speak to the owner. I will hear him out and If feel he is full of it, I will call the labor board. He is robbing his staff!! If I am wrong about this, I will remove this post. The conversation with the server was clear and I asked twice so I was not misunderstanding her. All my years I have never stole from my employees! I hope I am wrong!! Keep you posted.. Sad day.. read more

Great little spot with friendly people and good food. Glad they exist for good mexican nearby. read more

Amazing fresh authentic Mexican food, service is also top notch! Love their steak taco's they meat is so tender and tasty!

Hidden gem! My husband heard about this place after he read about it on Reddit. We were in the area and decided to stop in for dinner. The place is easy to miss but if you're on 22 east, just look for the Stewart's Root Beer and the restaurant is right before it. The decor is simple and has tables available for dine in. Casual ambience with byob. We had the enchilada, chimichanga, empanadas, loaded fries (forgot the name but it was yummy) and everything was delicious. The food is authentic, spices are on point, and their portions are generous. The prices are really reasonable too. Im always so excited when we find an authentic ethnic restaurant in the area. The place was pretty busy and they only had once waitress. However they services was great. Fast, and efficient, no complaints. Can't wait to go back!! read more

A gem on route 22! Outside looks like someone house and the food taste like it's homemade. Takeout quick and easy. Food looks amazing when you pop open the box at home. Glad they care about presentation and portion sizes. read more

Small family-owned business serving up authentic Mexican food! BYOB! Be sure to check the specials board for some real treats!

After three years of hunting for decent authentic Mexican we found it. Food was good. Tacos were awesome. The beans were underseasoned and the queso was reminiscent of stuff from a jar, hence the 4 stars. read more

I had chicken fajitas and they were so yummy! Everyone there was nice too! Not from NJ but will definitely go back if I'm ever near the area again. read more

We've had a great lunch. The food is very fresh. Salsa is very spicy. Desserts are great. If you like Mexican food try this little place.

AMAZING food!! I've had their sweet and spicy quesadilla, Santa fe burrito, chicken chimichanga, chicken tacos, chicken nachos, and queso. My husband loves their steak enchiladas.

Great little spot for top-notch Mexican food. Wide range of choices from tacos to burritos and everything in between. Flavors are always spot-on. Be sure to check out the specials...there's always something interesting! And everyone is very nice. read more

I'm ashamed I'm only writing this review now as we've eaten here dozens of times and never a bad experience with Bernardo and his crew. We've dined in and done take out often. We've also enjoyed their service, company and especially food. Authentic, tasty, honest food. We've used them a few times to make a taco bar at a party and everyone always enjoyed their food. I thought I must've reviewed Los Chilitos before but I hadn't zo finally I rectified this omission read more

Nice, friendly people serving delicious food. Fresh made tortilla chips served with well seasoned guacamole. Nachos were loaded. Chimichangas were stuffed and perfectly fried. I'd order the Al pastor and ground beef burritos again as they contained lots of delicious meat and great rice. Enchiladas are smothered in a tasty sauce. Nice selection of Mexican sodas. read more

Basic but very good. Great menu variety. Good service. Not much in the way of atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Taste is amazing, really Mexican taste! Service is top, people are super friendly and welcome everyone nicely ! Quick service. Good sopa de fideo , kids loved it ! read more
