    It has a nice little location and everything. I even enjoyed the authentic tasting margaritas and such. But that's pretty much where the authenticity ends. I mean the food is tasty- I might even give it 4 stars for taste. But it's not really Mexican. And it's sooo very expensive for what it is. When did food in Bed-Stuy start costing so much??? Gentrification is real, my friends...

    3 Tacos and a Tecale deal
    Jon H.

    The tacos were amazing and prices were great- will have to stop by every time I visit NYC. Their three tacos and a beer deal for $12 was perfect for dinner. The tacos are stuff full of delicious meat and the red sauce Chino had available to add was spectacular. The added lime was *chef's kiss* Stopped by Chino originally because all of the 5-star reviews- it is worth the hype! Have already recommended to all my friends in the area. Outdoor back patio creates a great ambiance- very deserving of this 5-star rating. Will be checking out the frozen margs next time I go! Locals and Travelers- Check out this place!

    Mezcal Paloma ($1 goes to world central kitchen!)
    Anna F.

    This place is great. Awesome spot for groups. They even allow dogs in the outside area. Super drinks- had the paloma made with mezcal, of which $1 goes to world central kitchen, a taste of the michelada, and a special drink made by the bartender that he called "crime of passion" with passion fruit and tequila. You can check out games by giving them your ID. We played oversized connect four, tournament style. You can also order food from the taco truck there. The nopal (cactus) taco and taco al pastor (pork and pineapple) were delicious.

    Avocado Torta

    My roommate found this incredible restaurant near our place. It was so yummy! I ordered an Avocado Torta. It was packed with delicious flavors and was filled with vibrant colors. It was absolutely filling and paired well with their green sauce. The service was incredible and quick. They had a small, yet mighty menu. I can't wait to try other menu items. They also put out hand sanitizer at every table. There is outdoor seating for when the weather is beautiful!

    FISH TACO SHRIMP TACO

    The avocado tostada was quite good - very fresh and tasty avocados and I love the pairing with the black beans. I wish there was some acid on it -lime juice? - and maybe some salt. The cactus one was kind of weird but maybe that's just me not loving cactus. Would love more vegetarian options! My boyfriend liked all his meaty ones!

    Lots and lots of outdoor seating at Chilo's. Came by for a couple drinks and tacos and had a lovely time. It's a casual Mexican restaurant and bar that can be a little on the expensive side--but let's be real, restaurants have been put in a shitty situation so just have your drinks and smile. They have a back patio with lots of seating, as well as picnic tables and high tops on the sidewalk. You'll order inside (mask required), they'll hand you a number, and they'll deliver to your table. At one point, one of the employees misunderstood my order but they immediately corrected it, and politely. Despite clearly being understaffed, everything came out super quickly and the employees were kind. Remember that bars have to shut down at 10pm so grab a bottle of wine from around the corner and go home and watch the latest Netflix binge.

    SO GOOD!! Had the duck, shrimp and huitlacoche tacos... PHENOMENAL. Also loved the chips and guacamole, but the salsa they sent out with that was unique and delicious. Margarita was good. Definitely a slam dunk in terms of food!!

    Frozen margarita
    Ashli S.

    Came here on the weekend mid day to try some authentic tacos. Restaurant has a nice setup; bar in the front with food truck out back. The food truck area was heated which was a nice additional touch especially during colder months. Chilos shrimp tacos didn't fall short of flavor or seasoning. The only thing was that they ran out of fish tacos which was disappointing as they had just opened. The frozen margaritas were also a hit ! Great consistency, amount alcohol and pairing flavors. Will definitely be back.

    Just a couple of their specials many of which proceeds are donated to ACLU!

    Delicious tacos. Super friendly vibe and good drinks! Chorizo and smoked beef were the best. Duck as well!

    I'll put it this way, it's $7 for a tostada without any meat. Good for a drink at the bar but it ends there.

    $10 will buy you the largest most delicious-est torta. For flavor and price and vibe - this place is tops. Do it.

    Go here when you have lots of time and you're not hungry (yet). It's a small staff and food cart,…read morenot a full on restaurant. I ordered the (off menu) party tray. It apparently feeds 20 and only costs $130. I was doubtful of their estimates on how much it could feed, but the tray is packed to the brim and required two people to close. It's doesn't seem to be something that's ordered regularly because the team wasn't properly prepared to serve it to me. I.e. - a team member had to run to the local supermarket to buy a lid for the tray. I went in on a Saturday afternoon, arriving around 4 and left closer to 6. If no one is ordering a catering sized amount of food, it should be quick, with each customer taking 2-5 minutes. Unfortunately for everyone else while I was there, there were two people ordering trays. The food is great, but I don't know if I'd wait that long again when there are equally good alternative options where I won't have to wait in the sun. Plus, it's a rougher neighborhood and there's just a lot of impatient people who complain about everything. One lady in line was complaining about the staff handling cash and then handling food. I observed the staff frequently changing gloves. Same lady also got mad that one staff member was taking a lunch break while there was a long line of people waiting for food. The staff are people too, they gotta eat. Food - 8/10 Wait - 3/10 English -5/10 Other customers in line - 3/10
