    a plate of food
    Jamie B.

    This is one my top mexican restaurants in the area! I loved this little hole in teh wall. We came here because we were on our to drop off people at the airport in Kenner and I had read some good things about it from Ian McNulty. Anyway, it was around that in between lunch and dinner time and it wasn't too busy. It started to get busy quickly though the closert to dinner it got so be aware of that, this place is small. This place is also very loud. I noticed the speaker was right above us and the more the girls behind the bar did shots, the louder the music went. It made for a fun atmosphere so just be aware of that when you go too. We had the best, freshest guacamole. I don't know what made it so good, but it was good. I could have ordered 3 of those. The chips were just ok. The salsa was decent, but not the best. I ordered the molcajetes and those are always so delious. My hubby ordered the chimichunga which is the best in the city. It was plenty of food and so very good. I can't wait to go back!

    Fried tilapia and oysters sooooo delish!!!
    Tanya F.

    Was around 11pm nothing is really open at that time but we found CHILANGOS!!! What a cool place and the food was excellent .. they had karaoke which was entertaining we had margaritas ..whole tilapia ..dozen oysters .. octopus cocktail EVERYTHING WAS 100% def going back

    El servicio estuvo fatal, en mi comida le comenté a la mesera que no me habían hecho lo que yo pedí y Ni siquiera tubo la amabilidad de darme opción para cambiar mi comida, solo se llevó mi plato y para colmo me lo cobraron .. La comida estuvo buena ,, pero tardaron mucho tiempo en traérnosla a la mesa ,, y el restaurante está literalmente solo.

    Cucumber & jalapeño margarita it was as delicious as it looks

    If you like Bloody Mary's do yourself a favor and order a Shrimp & Cucumber Michelada!! It was HEAVEN if Margaritas are your thing, ask for a cucumber jalapeño margarita it's to die for! And if you don't like the heat from the pepper ask you have the seeds taken out so you just get the flavor. So glad I stumbled upon this place!!! Y'all have to checkout this lil piece of Mexico. The service / servers are wonderful. My advice would be to go early in the evening. By the time I left the parking lot was packed. I'm already ready to go back.

    Chilaquiles C/Huevo Verdes

    Great food, good service and they makes you feel like you're in Mexico . Chilaquiles are my favorites

    Nasty. Truly horrible service, and terrible food. The indifferent server brought out warm salsa and half a handful of chips. The diet cokes were cans (no refills). The fried tilapia came out whole, and overdone, Lying on old cold French fries. The Mexican sampler was thrown together from old food lying in the kitchen. The place was empty and we had to keep going to look for the server, including when we wanted to get our check so we could get the hell out.

    Trash

    Horrible service to black people. Me my mom and a friend came to chilangos for taco Tuesday and when we came in they acted like they didn't want to serve us. I asked for the $5 frozen margarita and received this watery half filled plastic cup. Then as we were eating our meal, the server came up by our table mopping. She first hit my feet with the mop and didn't say anything. Then she started sweeping the trash under our table. I asked her if she could wait until we were done and she said no and continued mopping. She was very disrespectful and had an attitude. She went and told other employees who stood there staring at us the whole time and she kept trying to argue back and forth with me . No apology, no compensation, the whole staff were rude and racist!

    This is my second time going to this restaurant. I love their food. Very authentic. Everyone from work came to have lunch here. When we arrived at 12 there was only a few people in the restaurant and our food came out quick. The seafood platters and tacos are delish!!! That is their speciality. Downside is that the music is so loud you cant have conversation and might leave with a headache. But I guess the way to solve that is to order it as take-out. I might do that next time. No need to have that loud music at noon, felt like I was in a club. ;( About the delish food.... So, word of advice....don't order french fries at Mexican restaurant, not their specialty. Another observation is that most taquerias in Mexico serve warm salsa, it means its fresh. They serve cold salsa after its been in the fridge or room temperature when its been sitting out. A warm salsa means tomatoes have been boiled or roasted with chiles, onions, garlic and blended. This is not Taco Bell. In this visit I had the shrimp cocktail and it did not disappoint. I lived near Baja California for 6 years and I tasted authentic Mexican shrimp cocktails monthly. This place got it right! Thank You. The spices in the sauce, size of the shrimp and vegetables were on point. Check out the picture. Soooo good! My boss and co-workers ordered the beef and chicken fajitas. The sizzling pan, well seasoned meat, vegetables and tortillas hit the spot for them. Very flavorful and lots of it!! They couldn't finish the entire serving and took some home for dinner. As others have commented the food is amazing and authentic but the service is not great. They might need to change or retrain personnel. The furniture is also cracking and in need of repair. The furniture reminds me of seafood places in Mexico but its way to crowed for this small spot. They need to clean it up a bit. Again...The music was way to loud!!!! We couldn't have a conversation. But because the ladies were so rude I was afraid to ask them to turn it down. Ja ja ja... my charming boss started casual conversation with our waitress and she became more pleasant. Next time I am craving Mexican seafood I might order from them and just bring it home. This place can be so much better and have 5 stars from me if they apply some maintenance and customer service techniques.

Was looking forward to the lemongrass sauce with squash but ended up liking the classic a bit better. There were a decent amount of big crawfish, but my husbands batch was very hit and miss, many were very small and limp, unable to eat about a third of them. Big tables, lots of space. Decent TVs to catch games on. Nice selection of drinks, the mint lychee drink was strong. Service was great.

We got a bunch of appetizers: calamari wings, garlic, fries, and garlic noodles, and they were all great though the garlic noodles were probably my least favorite. Crawfish wise, we ended up getting 5 pounds of the Viet Cajun and 5 pounds of the EZ blend along with sides of corn, sausage and potatoes. Everything was great and had a lot of flavor, and we were pretty surprised by the size of the crawfish. I really enjoyed both flavors though if I had to pick, I would say the Viet Cajun was better and had more flavor. My table had four of us and we weren't able to finish everything. Overall, this spot was delicious and I love all of the variety. I love variety and options, so I will say that I wish there were more flavor options for the crawfish!

First mistake, improperly bagged, shrimp juice was on my floor board and coming through the bag, and also got on other groceries in my truck. Second mistake, the shrimp were turning amber already and not a white flesh with blue tint and a fresh sweet smell, the shrimp shells were soft, (2 day cell break down) and very smelly. Another insider, once rinsed thoroughly, they began to become slimy, so really he purposely is water logging them, because there going bad, I call them about the shrimp, the lady feels personally attacked, after simply explaining the quality of the shrimp, and that I didn't want my money back, her tone and attitude shifting and I went to stop her and ask her why she's sounding upset, she escalates it, then ends up hanging up on me. I show up, nicely ask for a manager, she immediately expresses negative energy and defends herself hanging up, I say nothing and she gets the man in charge. Long story short I went to explain and show him the shrimp, you can see clear as day, BROWN DIRTY SHRIMP WATER WITH BARELY ANY ICE, to add also the sizes were not all large at all, and contained excess shells I didn't ask to pay for. The guy there in charge proceeds to dismiss me entirely very rude, and even gets hostile stepping into my space inches from me. This is what I get for coming to buy shrimp, havnt been here in a year to buy fresh seafood, and I get zero customer service and a very hostile gm or co owner. What ever he is. What's funny is he has the calls recorded and video, but also threatened to call the cops on me responding to his remarks as I'm getting my money back, but there the victim?? SERIOUSLY PSYCHO PEOPLE.. really am Shocked. Over 15 years in FINE DINING, in New Orleans, never in my life have I been attacked over quality of product. I acted professional and expected the same. If I was such a problem why did the sweet lady trying to give me my refund, HAD TO TELL THE GUY AND THE RUDE MANAGER, to go in the back??? lol literally stuff you can't believe you usually just see on tv. Don't believe me?? Watch 24 hours to hell and back, people really act like this. If I was lying, why did I get a refund? Why did he give me a refund when I never asked for one? If the shrimp were fresh, why didn't he inspect them right off the bat?? Because he dealing with someone who knows everything about seafood and he's cutting corners and being lazy with his product, and his pride and obvious short falls made him explode, a 47 year old man. I'm in my 30s
