3.7 but keeping it at a 3…read more Ive been waiting to try Taqueria Chilango for a while now but locating, contacting and finding them had proven more difficult then I would have liked. Its now located in the basement of a small restaurant complex, open kitchen layout, kind of a bar-ish feel around. I thought they maybe shared the space with another business but im not 100% sure. I tried 4 different proteins in taco form - chicken, carne asada, flank steak and al pastor. To rank them, 1a Chicken, 1b pastor, 2 carne asada, all 3 of those were top notch, the flank steak was hit or miss for me, some bites were tasty others were to fatty/gelatinous for me. White onion and cilantro on top, went light on those which I would have liked more of. Hand made tortillas were also great. My big issue was the price point.. +$5 for each taco is to steep for a midwest taqueria in the basement of a restaurant. If price wasnt an issue for me then this would be the only taqueria I would go to in GR, but unfortunately price does play a part, but i will say they didnt skimp on the protein. I ordered 2 Tostada, 1 chicken and 1 shredded beef. I only received the 1 chicken tostada and I really wish I could have tried the shredded beef. But if I were to go back I would 100% get the tostada again, it was delicious, my favorite item by far, $7 for the tostada and although steeper then I feel its worth, it felt more worth then the $5 tacos and if I go back it will be what I order. Instead of a Tostada I got a mystery meat quesadilla. Authentic quesadilla but not what you expect if you are use to ordering them at other local joints. It was decent but definitely a grease ball. It was our least favorite item. We also ordered chips with 2 salsa and a side of guacamole. Chips and salsa were $8, chips were okay, homemade for sure but enough of the chips didnt feel fully fried. Salsas came in 2 2oz cups, again felt weak for the price point. No way those chips made it through that salsa, probably not even half the chips made it through the salsa, needed way more. The worst thing we tried by far was the $5 guacamole in a 2.5 Oz container. If im paying $5 for guacamole I expect more then half an avacado worth of guacamole, on top of that it was mid guacamole at best. The 2 salsa was a salsa verde and a peanut salsa, i didnt catch which pepper was used in the peanut salsa. The salsa verde was okay, somewhat bland. The peanut salsa was fabulous, I loved that it was not too spicy but so much flavor, will be one of the main reason I return. The owner was so so friendly, it was only him and 1 other dude. Im not trying to rip the business but to make it my go to taqueria would be hard to justify with what I got and what I paid for. My personal opinion, if the owner is making tortillas like that I would love to try a big flour tortilla burrito with that peanut salsa. Overall for the price point it was hard to justify. Some of the food i got was really delicious, some of it really didn't hit. Ill definitely be back but ill give it some time.

The service is over the top and the guy working there is super friendly. It's the perfect quick grab and go spot off a grassy lot near wealthy if you go to the food truck location!

This is where I most recently had it and it was just as delicious as at the food truck location.

They have live music on the weekends but the restaurant echos very loud that you can't even order without repeating your order multiple times. You order first then find a seat most family seating options are right in front of the stage. Our toddler had to sit in a high top table where one of us stood the entire time to ensure he didn't fall. The high tops are either long community style or there a few 4 seat pub style ones towards the front of the restaurant but still just as loud. Food: prices are typical. You do get chips and salsa delivered to your table complimentary and those are delicious! Everything else is by order up at the front (even if you want water, refills, or are missing something) We ordered tacos with homemade tortillas and they were very hard and stale. The meat had good flavor but the tortilla made the taco tough to eat. We paid extra for cebollitas and a jalapeño and they didn't get us the jalapeño even after asking for it twice. Their aguas are delicious. The torta de asada was also just okay the bread wasn't soggy which was a plus but it wasn't super flavorful and had more lettuce than meat. We did notice one table had a server constantly coming to them vs them going to the front like everyone else which was odd maybe certain sections have servers? Anyway just very difficult to go with small children or just to have a nice meal.

It was pretty busy with a lot of high schoolers on their lunch break, and the queuing process was a little hectic as everyone was kind of just standing around, but once we ordered our two lunch plates, everything came out quickly. The menu is large and I loved the lunch menu, which features a bit of everything. I got the plate with one hard shell taco, one enchilada, and rice and beans. Nate got the quesadilla lunch plate with two mini quesadillas, rice, and beans. They gave us complimentary chips and salsa - super fresh and tasty, and appreciated as I was really hungry. Our food came out quickly and was delivered to where we were sitting at the rail by the window. The food was mostly delicious. I particularly liked the steak quesadillas but they were quite greasy. The hard shell taco was just okay but I really enjoyed the enchilada and would order those again. Overall a great visit and I would come back; I'd probably wait a bit until after the lunch rush though.

Definitely will be coming back!
