I'm going to start with the positive part because I don't do reviews and do not want to come off as…read moresomebody that just complains about everything. (POSITIVE) We had our reservations for a party of 16. We were seated within minutes of arriving, awesome! My first 15 minutes blew me away! It was my son's 14th B-day, the establishment looks really authentic! It took me back to restaurants in a beach town Mexico. Mariachi was on point! The ambiance was perfect! I'm looking around already planning who to bring, the next event, who I'm going to tell about this place! (NEGATIVE) After the first 15 minutes! Looking back now, this was the first red flag, our server didn't come to the table for about 30 minutes. My party was looking around also myself hoping we can get someone's attention! Finally, a server from another table noticed and asked if we had our order taken. He got our server to come and take our drink orders. After taking our order I let her know about the b-day boy and if they can get the staff to come out for him at the end of our meal. She said of course and that she was aware of the celebration. 2nd red flag, after serving our drinks she disappeared and didn't take our order. When she finally came back she asked if we wanted any appetizers. We said no, we would like to order our food. She disappeared again without taking the order. (FOOD) Finally, she returns takes the order, food comes out and everyone was looking at the plates infront of them kinda confused. I know what I was thinking, this is it?? The portions, the taste, the quality does not align with the price whatsoever!! I ordered their "house special " mixed drink. It barely had any liquor and it didn't even taste good. We finished our meal, we waited for the b-day celebration it never came. The server brought out the desert menu, everyone passed. Staff removed all the plates except our buckets of beer and drinks. We paid for everything. We finally ask the server if we can have the staff come out for the b-day boy because we see them going around to every table with a b-day doing the "bday show." And we want to hit the road. She said in order for the staff to come out perform we have to buy a desert or drink for the bday boy. I was thrown off by this because, we were not told that at all, and we had spent close to $1,000.00 at the table. The food, the drinks, and pictures we purchased. I told the waitress that we were going ahead and ordering a desert. She left we assumed to bring back the desert menu. When she came back she told us we had to leave because the next party had arrived and they needed the table. We asked for the manager. The festive mood was gone, been gone! My whole party could not believe what was going on. Manager sent out the party staff, they came to our table for 2 seconds and moved on to the next table! It was extremely rushed. Everyone was disappointed.

Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food. Came from a recommendation from my husband's brother and did not disappoint.

I had my first meal at the enchanted indoor garden in Mami Felipa Cocina today…read more Food: The green chilaquiles did not disappoint. They were fresh, crunchy, with ample green tomatillo salsa that was flavorful, making for a very authentic bite. The beans were very good and complemented the chilaquiles perfectly. Authentic Mexican flavors showcased well. Service: The waitress was friendly, attentive, and joyfully answered my questions about the menu. I also asked about the traditional colorful head piece located behind glass next to the register and learned that it is a Chinelo, a traditional iconic carnival character from Morelos, Mexico. It is clear, the restaurant owners are proud of their heritage and are sharing it with everyone. Ambiance: The small but cozy restaurant features an incredibly vibrant, maximalist indoor garden vibe that immediately makes you feel like you are dining inside an enchanted greenhouse. Dense artificial greenery blankets the walls and ceiling. The cozy, casual neighborhood layout is packed with personality, featuring playful multicolored floral tablecloths, festive flags, and unique lived-in accents. It's an energetic setting for a lively meal.

What a pleasant surprise. Meaning sometimes you read a lot of five star reviews and you leave…read moredisappointed. Had the Divorciad burrito for lunch and it was delicious. (See attached picture). This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

Ordered the chile verde/chile colorado from the chef specialities section of menu....our lovely server Bertha pointed it out since my cousin wanted to try both.....I had the very cheesy chile relleno.....came with generous portion of beans and rice...it was great for me nothing too salty but the two rellenos were only lukewarm tho the cheeze was well melted....it was good and hearty 4/5......chips and salsa free....the chips had a Doritos style color dusting of red 5/5 some kind of spice maybe??...it was fresh and crunchy and kinda thick, we liked it plus the salsa was not hot just tangy....we asked for Pico de Gallo but they don't serve it a la carte apparently. It comes as part of an entree, but never found out which one. Turns out the cook/owner was once the executive chef at Angel Stadium. So food was solid, traditional and nothing fancy nouvelle or la de da...nothing crazy experimental...just good solid Mex that will satisfy a craving. The Jamaica was not too sweet not too sour....not watered down...light and refreshing....wish I had asked for a refill or maybe they don't do refills on agua frescos, I don't know. Very nice extensive menu. Plenty of free parking. Tucked in the corner of a strip mall on Roaemead Blvd. Not easily visible from the street in any direction. So pay attention to your GPS.

Super delicious. The fries were also perfect. My wife had their Martin kicking chicken burrito. Well cooked and perfectly seasoned chicken. The guacamole was solid. Our child had a cheeseburger which she loved. Fresh lettuce and tomato with a decent sized beef patty. I tried it and it's worth every penny. To finish our meals we had to have their freshly made juices. We opted for beet/kale/orange and celery. On point and worth the price. The aesthetics are older but welcoming and comfortable. We will definitely be coming back.

I've been anticipating the opening of this restaurant for some time since I pass it all the time…read moreand saw the outside signage come up. We came for Friday night dinner and were unfortunately disappointed with the food. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive that set the tone for a potential great dinning experience. This was our first time here and our server went over the menu, which added another layer of enjoyment to our evening. This night the restaurant had live music and the singer serenade my wife since it was her birthday and so did the staff. Now let's talk about the heart and soul of El Chlito, the food. The menu boasts an array of authentic Mexican cuisine that fell short of our expectations. Unfortunately my wife's dish was rancid and unpalatable but my dish was delicious and mouthwatering. We decide not to complain since we were enjoying our drinks snd live music. So this was definitely a hit and miss dinning experience when it came to this food. However the restaurant was festive and décor esthetically pleasant. We so wanted all the components of the restraint to shine but unfortunately the food fell short of our expectations!

But yeah, if you're poor, hungry, hangry and in the area, you should definitely stop by!
