    Here are Carnitas tacos, flour tortilla cheese, and a creamy guacamole. Yummy yummy in my tummy!

    I can't say enough good things about Chilote. Great customer service. Fantastic tacos. I'm obsessed with their Carnitas tacos! This restaurant is located inside the Chevron, and I love it. I pick up my scratchers, then head over to Chilote to get my tacos. Everything is fresh. They have three cute picnic tables where you can eat. Chilote offers burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, and more. Fresh-made salsas to choose from, fresh corn, and fresh flour tortillas made right in front of you. Support a new small business in Surprise, Arizona, you won't be disappointed!

    Birra burrito!

    Second shot at Chilote Mexican Kitchen and went with the birria burrito! This is the best Mexican (authentic) ! Amazing food combined with outstanding customer service! You got to give it a roll you will not regret !

    Excellent carnitas bowl! I don't know how they do this at a gas station/ mini mart, but it's definitely a keeper on my list.

Everything is made fresh to order, including the chips and guacamole, and you can taste it 100%. The owner/chef greeted us upon entering and suggested a few starters. Even the chips were amazing, mixed with the guacamole and a little bit of lime. Ooooo The the real starts of the show came - the tacos. Now I've had a million tacos in my life and let me tell you, these are THE TRUTH! The chicken was my fav, followed by the pastor and asada. You can tell the freshness as it took about 8-10 minutes to get them to our table. So much flavor, heat, and juiciness. I wish I lived near here so I could come back often - prices are also great! As far as service, the staff was fantastic and the owner Edson is a character who truly cares about the quality of his food and the vibe of his restaurant. No negatives here - will definitely be back. Thank you!

The owner is there to welcome and prepare your meal and make you feel at home. Our favorite is the Pastor Tacos, with a generous portion of Pineapple and the Pollo, with an excellent smoky flavor. They are going to start serving Breakfast soon and we hope to be there to sample it! We love LaBamba and you visit everything we are visiting Luke AFB, or Phoenix in general.

The tequila list with Fortaleza and the like gave me a lot of hope as well. Alas, it was not to be. Not a hint of spice in anything, from the salsa to the various meals we had. You can tell the quality of the ingredients was good, but the *flavor* was just not there. This began with the salsa, which looked promising but had zero taste. My group had three entrees - beer battered fish tacos, the 3 taco combo (cochinita pibil, quesabirria, and a taco de tinga), and the mixed grill. I also had the La Sandia cocktail, which took forever and tasted... unfortunate. It had an odd salty note and a weirdly thick consistency that reminded me of PediaLyte. Not the best beginning. The overall theme for the meals was the same - everything was acceptable but boring, especially in the flavor we were hoping for. The term we came up with was "inoffensive" - no spice to speak of in anything, despite the items being seasoned and not bland. The mixed grill is huge and the grilled cheese included is a fun addition, and the ingredients in the tacos tasted high-quality (lots of raves about the tortillas) but there was no kick to anything. Perhaps we needed to adjust expectations, but when I come to a Mexican place - even a chain - I expect a little more, you know? Service was very slow during an admittedly slow time of day and it took a long time to receive anything besides chips, but everything was fresh when it arrived. Portion sizes were perfectly acceptable for the price. Our visit was not memorable and I don't expect to be back, but we were glad to give it a try.
