I like this place a lot! I hope it finds success here. We were sat very quickly, they have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was very kind and attentive. The menu was vast and they had a large drink menu and full bar. We got a margarita pitcher, peach flavored, which was very good. We got tacos, a chicken quesadilla, and fajitas. All were excellent, we will definitely be coming back! read more

We were looking for a new Mexican spot to add to our rotation and decided to give this place a try. Overall, it was a solid experience, and I would definitely return to give it another chance. For context, our go-to Mexican restaurant is a solid 4 stars, and while this didn't quite reach that level, it still has potential.I ordered the birria tacos, which were decent but unfortunately lacked depth in seasoning. A few others in my party ordered different entrees and shared the same sentiment--the food was fresh, but the flavors just needed to be dialed up a bit. On the positive side, the house salsa served with the chips was excellent and had great flavor.[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is very nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was just okay; the staff was pleasant, but not quite as attentive as we hoped. We had to flag our waitress down a couple of times. It is a promising spot that just needs a few tweaks to its seasoning and service consistency! read more

Stopped in for a late dinner with my husband. I ordered the fajitas, he had the pollo loco. Both entrees had great flavor. My fajita platter had a lot of steak in comparison to the onions and peppers, a good balance compared to others I've had. The chips were okay, they were thicker, good for dipping. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was loud inside, not somewhere for a quiet dinner out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely go back! read more

This place sucks. The server came to our table twice and didn't check up on us throughout our experience. The food was ok but needed a lot more seasoning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is weird with little to no people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My fries were amazing. They were cooked to the perfect temp and slightly crispy in a good way. The torta bread tasted fresh and of good quality. The service was attentive and the food came fast. This restraunt checks all the boxes for me. It is moderately priced but understandably so. For a negative, I thought the sandwich was a little dry, perhaps adding some more pastor would make it more juicy. I did have some birria sauce on the table which helped but masked the pastor flavor. Also the avocado was also all placed on one side and on the first bite so I spread those out more evenly. I left feeling very satisfied! read more

Good food and strong drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has nice decor and plenty of options for photo opportunities.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will go back because they had a wide variety of food that I've never seen at a Mexican restaurant. Two things I didn't like: the waitress refused to let my elderly mother order a kid's chicken finger meal (she doesn't like Mexican food, we were there to celebrate my sister's birthday). I had to go back and forth with the waitress and the manager I guess, finally approved to make the kid's chicken tender meal into an adult meal. We had to ask the waitress several times for eating utensils, by the time we got them, our food was no longer hot. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Chilanguita Mexican Kitchen is an amazing Mexican food place with a super cute outdoor patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is nice as well and bigger than you'd expect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a burrito and my boyfriend got the fajita plate and we thought the portion sizes were very big and a great value. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio is a little loud because it's so close to the street but with the music, good vibes, and delicious food, I can get past it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mexican restaurants can be a real hit or miss for me, but this one is definitely a hit! And it's just around the corner from Ted Drewes and Donut Drive-In to round out the night. read more

First time trying something new and different to start the New Year. Wasn't too keen on the taste- food was average. I and my guest had the same feedback: food is too dry. Need more sauce?? Service could've been better, but there was one person tending bar and tables. It's okay if you want a quick drink on the way home, But I wasn't impressed enough to recommend.

Cheese sauce could have had a little more flavor but didn't ruin any of the other flavors I think it would have added to the wonderful meal. Give it a try! read more

After what felt like years of driving by, we finally stopped in for dinner. We were welcomed with three bowls of salsa! Then came the birria tacos rich, juicy, and equally as delicious as they were messy. Tender meat and crispy edges, it was perfect.

Wow! First visit and we were impressed! Service was amazing! Friendly staff seated us quickly - brought yummy fresh chips and water right away. As newbies, we spent a bit of time perusing the menu and they were ready to swoop in when we made up our minds. Our delicious entrees arrived five minutes later. FIVE MINUTES! On a Saturday evening! Shrimp fajitas for me, steak burrito for him - both very tasty. A pitcher of house margaritas that did not skimp on alcohol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant exemplified what we seek in a meal - excellent service and food in a pleasing environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Tried this place for the first time today and so glad I did! The Taco salad was incredible! Will definitely be back for that. Great bar service, really kind and attentive bartenders. The women's bathroom is a little odd as the toilet paper and paper towels are way up high lol. And the skinny margarita had a weird aftertaste. But overall had a great experience here. A must visit! read more

First time here. It was ok. I liked the decor. Staff was friendly but the waitress could have come around more.The soda tasted bleachy and uncarbonated. The restaurant itself had a faint moldy smell to it. I got a 3 item combo for $14 which was a good deal but the food was just ok. The shredded chicken was tough and chokey. I had to spit it out because it just wasn't going down. We got birria fries for an app and that was good. I would order that again. I'm not saying I would never go back but I definitely wouldn't order something with shredded chicken. I'd stick with the birria meat. read more

We had a group on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was busy but that did not stop us getting great survive. The service was great. The server kept checking on our table to make sure we were well taken care of. I loved the chips and salsa and the nachos we ordered were more than enough for us to split. They offered several speciality margaritas and it was fun to try something different. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean and everyone in our group seemed to enjoy their food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is well decorated and there is no doubt it is a Mexican restaurant's along with an extensive menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Took another friend here last night. She'd never been so I asked her opinion about things. We loved the fact that it was decked out for Christmas. The whole place looked very festive. My friend walks with a cane and the handicap spots were full. Usually I drop her off at the door when that happens but since the only door in the building is through the patio, I could'nt do that. At least the walk was somewhat even. The servers here are the BEST!! Always smiling, perfect timing coming back to our table, no place has a friendlier wait staff. Our skinny margaritas were great. I really think this place has one of the best. The complimentary salsa - was fantastic. I'm a wuss with heat and this was perfect and my friend was impressed because she said, I see the ingredients. It's not too pureed. Now the chips... they seemed stale. Bummer. Although it did prevent me from eating too many so that's good. We both got a shrimp fajita burrito. Wowza!! I took pictures of the first cut into it. Five! FIVE shrimp were sitting there. Now you may be thinking "oh great, they were mostly in the end". NOPE!!! This burrito had so many shrimp it was ridiculous. Also, my friend commented on the peppers and how crisp they were in the burrito. That was fantastic. Even the little "salad " they put on your plate was good. I liked that the menu had gotten a little more manageable since my first visit(right after they opened). We both decided we'd be back. We want to try the fish tacos. read more

So, they had me at the birria pizza! Slow cook and tender pot roast with cheese on a crispy thin crust. This is a nonnegotiable must try. They have to go boxes and pizza is always good left over. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our food and drinks were served in a timely manner. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We tried a variety of margaritas. My favorite was the Paloma with a nice burst of grapefruit to balance the sweetness and the tequila. Lots of Instagram worthy spots for snapping a few pics. The decor is casual but hip. read more

Food was great but the waitress was inattentive , we had to go to the bar for water and ice. At the end of our visit she claimed she was unable to split items. They use the system toast so I'm very well aware that you can split items on toast. It's a shame our service was so bad because the food was really good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe I'll sit at the bar next time... if there is a next time ? read more

I came here one late night looking for Mexican food. The parking lot was not super full so I was able to park on the surface lot. When you walk in, it's heavily decorated with art and photo opportunities. It's SUPER spacious inside and even has a patio. I ordered a combo plato which included an enchilada and a chimichanga. The food came out really quick and hot. It was flavorful as well. My friend had a Fajita Burrito. Service was quick and the management team was very nice when I inquired about hosting an event there. read more

Our normal spot was super busy, so we came in to give this place a try. Overall, the food was good, the salsa had great flavors and the staff were friendly. The service was slightly slow. I don't prefer to be at a restaurant longer than an hour during the weeknight and we were there for almost 2 hours. When we came in, they seated us immediately. The place wasn't busy. Chips and salsa were delivered quickly. I ordered a house margarita and my husband had an iced tea. They were also both delivered quickly. Then we ate the chips and salsa and waited. Our waitress took a while to come back. We stopped eating chips and salsa, hoping she would come back and check on us. Finally, she did and we placed our orders. The food were delivered to our table, hot and still sizzling. My husband had the carnitas. He liked them. I had a torito which was chopped chicken, steak, shrimp on a bed of rice and cheese sauce. Really good! I ate my leftovers for lunch the next day and it still tasted delicious after being microwaved. Then we waited some more for our check. Our waitress asked about shots and we said no but then she brought some anyway. I drank mine. My husband refused as he had to go in to work a little after dinner. The shot was free so that was a nice bonus. I would be willing to come back here for the food, and the margaritas were nice as well. Hopefully, the service is a little faster next time. read more

Very tasty Mexican food with fresh chips and salsa. The steak was very tender. The servers were very polite and attentive to us and we were seated on the outside patios. The outside patio is private but can be a bit loud since it's right by Hampton. The inside is brightly colored and looks very fun. read more

The restaurant is very cute and the decor is very nice - instagrammable patio area and entrance. The parking lot is quite small and gets very packed and there's no close street parking so it can get kind of tricky to access the restaurant. The food we ordered was good but not memorable. Our orders were messed up a few times. They brought out multiple dishes to our table that we didn't order and it wasn't supposed to go to another table either as we were one of the last few parties there that night and everyone else already had food. The servers also forgot we ordered a few things as well so we had to remind them of our orders a few times. Overall, it was okay but I do appreciate the number of options you get from the menu. Lots to choose from. read more

One of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to, ask for their homemade spicy sauce if that's your style. They offered us a free shot of tequila after our meal, a pleasant surprise. Great atmosphere, even better service. read more

I have been here several times now, 6+ months since the last time. Every time, including this time, was absolutely delicious - flavorful, fresh, and phenomenal. I have tried the chimichanga and tacos as well, and also other margarita flavors besides the skinny marg, and this place really is just amazing. They have other super cool and unique marg flavors, like the "barbie" one with a pink flower. I opted for the skinny one tonight since I was watching my sugar, and sure enough the marg was absolutely delicious while still being a skinny marg. The service is always top notch. The vibe is casual, fun, and definitely full on a weekend night, altho we didn't have to wait. Would recommend without a doubt. This place is a little far for us since we live in Creve Couer but we still venture out every so often. I have met the owners a couple times and they are so awesome as well. read more

We had such a fun time here. We always ride past it on our bike rides and finally got a chance to pop in. It is so much bigger than we imagined and each section is beautifully decorated. You will want to take pictures! The service was incredible. We felt so cared for the entire night but we also had so much time to enjoy our food and the live music. We ordered flautas, tamales, birria tacos, agua de jamaica, a Paloma, and churros to round it all out. We left stuffed! Everything was delicious! Stop in if you can. They have great daily specials and live music. read more

Solid solid solid food. Birria tacos, chimichanga, rice, frijoles, all delicious. Not drowning in queso sauce, no soggy lettuce. Zero notes on the food. Table chips crunchy and flavorful salsa. Server was a little slow but the food was worth the wait. The awesome menu photo op was a bonus. Went back and it wasn't great. Food is still pretty good but service was not. Beans tasted like they had been burned and tried to save, order was incorrect, no refills on drinks or chips. Restaurant was not busy but server was rarely around. read more

We came in on a Thursday night and were seated right away. Our waitress was so friendly! The food and drinks came out very quickly and everything was SO good. I had a paloma margarita, and it is now my favorite drink! I ordered a chicken chimichanga and really appreciated the portion size. It wasn't overly massive like some restaurants, but I definitely ate the entire thing! I really enjoyed the black beans as well. My partner ordered mixed fajitas. The steak was a little dry, but everything else was great! This was definitely a much larger portion and we had leftovers! The patio is SO cute. Very good size with nice string lights and umbrellas for shade and color! The indoor space was large and clean, and I believe there were several TVs inside as well. read more
