I'm ashamed I'm only writing this review now as we've eaten here dozens of times and never a bad experience with Bernardo and his crew. We've dined in and done take out often. We've also enjoyed their service, company and especially food. Authentic, tasty, honest food. We've used them a few times to make a taco bar at a party and everyone always enjoyed their food. I thought I must've reviewed Los Chilitos before but I hadn't zo finally I rectified this omission read more

Basic but very good. Great menu variety. Good service. Not much in the way of atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

I understand that GOOD ethic food around these parts are far and between so I try to keep that in mind but I'm going to cut straight to the chase....the food is TERRIBLE! Okay maybe not completely terrible but for sure NOT deserving of all the excellent reviews. My togo order consisted of: - the oh so famous chunky guacamole it was on cilantro overload! They should have pulled back on some of the cilantro and focused more on the season. Everyone knows that avacado's NEED season especially salt and cilantro, tomatoes and red onions just wont cut it.... The guacamole did come with homemade chip which were actually pretty good. - Lime shrimp burrito, everything here is in excess no true balance the burrito had an ABUNDANCE of rice and only a few lime shrimp which were simply eh - chicken fajitas nothing to write home about in fact they were overly seasoned and they came with cheese, bell peppers and onions but again excess pepper OVERLOAD. The staff was very welcoming and very helpful BUT the place needs more street presence they are next door to the well advertised ice cream shop. Overall unfortunately I won't be back. read more

Los Chilitos catered my daughters 30th birthday this past weekend and I am SO impressed. Bernardo worked with my budget, he helped me plan a menu to suit my needs and produced a delicious menu with a great selection of Mexican favorites. The food was HOT, all the fixings were included and everyone at the party LOVED the food. Flavorful and delicious. Thank you so much for this special event a success. JP read more

Food was mediocre at best. Took forever for our order to come out and there was only one other family there. None of my kids enjoyed their meal either. read more

The food is very good authentic Mexican. Service is fast and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Yes yes and yes! The food was authentic and their supply of drinks (jarritos sodas, Mexican coke, and Mexican orange soda, etc) was perfect. Their dessert was unfortunately delicious. My waistline isn't happy about that but my stomach is in awe. I'd highly recommend this small 9 table restaurant to anyone looking for some solid food. The guacamole was heavy on the lime and they do not serve alcoholic drinks just as a heads up. read more

Excellent food. The staff is very friendly. Cute restaurant always clean. Mocha Tres Leches is new favorite dessert

Nice small restaurant. Good food, my garden burrito was very tasty. My wife's cheese enchiladas were excellent. I will definitely go back to try more of their menu. read more

Great, authentic food served up in a quaint eat in or take out option. Service is always friendly and meals are reasonably priced and always freshly made. read more

Satisfying, affordable and truly authentic. If you're looking for homemade, this is it. Other places like Baja Burrito in Clinton, NJ will have you craving real, flavorful Spanish food and Los Chilitos is the place to get it. read more

Everything was SO good!! Fresh tasting. Flavorful. Awesome. Got the burrito special, beef enchiladas (omg good), shrimp fajitas and chicken quesadilla. Highly recommend!! read more

Doesn't look like much on the outside and would be hard to notice if you didn't know it was there. But let me tell you my taste buds took a trip to Mexico. This is the best Mexican food around. Highly recommend any of the tacos so fresh and packed with flavor. Empanadas are delicious and the gauc is on point. You can tell everything is made fresh. They are delicious. Will be going back again and again read more

We LOVE this place and order from here at least once a month. Earlier this month they catered my daughters first birthday party. It was on Nov 2nd (Dia de los muertos) so we HAD to have Mexican food. They opened up early for me to pick up the food. It was hot and ready to go, which is great because I didn't do burners or anything crazy. Price for it all was just a fabulous as the food. Thanks guys!! read more

THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC. Came for the adobado tacos and was blown away by them, as well as the carnitas tacos, phenomenal barbacoa, and the sweet and spicy quesadilla that was, frankly, a revelation. Fantastic flavors, super fresh, just wonderful. Already regretting not ordering EVEN MORE food. Will definitely be back! read more

I love this place! The most authentic and delicious mexican food in the area. We eat here about once a month and love that they are BYOB. If you love good Mexican food you need to try Los Chilitos. Everything is homemade so be patient while they prepare your delicious meal. read more

The food was good however when the check came the prices were different than what was on the menu. When we asked about the difference the waitress brought over the paper take out menu to show us the "real" prices. She did not apologize about the discrepancy. She acted as if it's perfectly acceptable to provide diners a menu with outdated prices and then use the prices off of another menu which was never provided when completing the bill. The difference in price was not a lot but based on principle I will not go back. We were also charged $1 for a glass of tap water. For a party of 5 or more they include tip but be warned they do not itemize it on the check. The meals were listed and then there was a total amount. Tax and tip were not separate line items. Luckily someone noticed that the amounts listed did not add up to the total or we would have added additional tip. read more

Lets start with the service, they only have two servers here on a Friday night although I did not see the second server until 10 minutes before leaving. Then trying to the check was a chore in itself, we had to walk up to the counter to pay the bill after waiting for five people that we're here to pick up takeout because the servers were too busy to bring over our check. You better like the food the way it comes, they do not even have the courtesy to forewarn you that almost all of our dishes come topped with sour cream and a bunch other stuff you may not want. once my food came out the correct way. it was mediocre to say the least, it had no flavor completely bland and tasteless. I strongly advised to stay away from this place especially after seeing their sign in the restroom stating that they failed inspections for there drinking water. All in all I'd have to say this place is not worth the visit save yourself the money and find another place to eat at. read more

Hands down my favorite Mexican food in the Lebanon area! Highly recommend the Burrito del Norte if you want something spicy or the carnitas tacos if your not into spicy food. read more

I really like this place. Truly family run with excellent service and food. I have yet to have anything that I didn't like. Great for take out as well. This is the type of small business that I love to support when I can! read more

Best Mexican food in the area! We get take-out from here all the time and it's always fantastic. The food always tastes really fresh and employees are friendly and courteous. This place is really a little local gem :) read more

I hate to be a Debbie downer but this is the 3rd time we tried this place and I just don't get the rave reviews... this place is mediocre at Best. Chips & salsa-salsa is good (green) but chips are overdone and are the cheapest corn tortillas that have NO corn taste. I would have sworn that they were flour tortilla they were so tasteless. Chicken burrito ($11.00) -they forgot the guacamole, salsa & sour cream on the inside...it was ok but dry. Came with rice. Talipia burrito ($13.00) Same story. Side of guacamole was $6.50. Are you kidding me? I just can't see where this place is given 5 stars for anything but being over-priced for not very good quality. Sorry. read more

Los Chilitos has bomb Mexican food. No, seriously. You could tell everything was absolutely fresh. The chips were fresh and hot out of the fryer and they were thick. The salsa it came with was so tasty and had a fabulous kick to it. I ordered chicken fajitas with guacamole on the side and it was awesome. Straight up delicious. I wish the guacamole wasn't so expensive. We're talkin' about $6 for an order of it, but I think it really complimented the meal, as I couldn't have the rice, beans. or tortillas. My boyfriend loved his shrimp quesadilla and my mom loved her Mexican burger. Overall, it might be a 20 minute drive for me, but if I'm really in the mood for Mexican food, I'll be cruisin' back on over to Los Chilitos! read more

My wife and I frequent many authentic Mexican restaurants and this one is not one of our favorites. When we arrived we were greeted and asked if we would like chips and salsa . We did like the chips and Salsa( all 6 chips). They seemed to be homemade so maybe making a fews more might have taken too much time. They were good just very few. We ordered the chicken Tostadas as an appetizer and the Tamale Special and Carnita's Platter as entrees. Tostadas were ok but lacked seasoning, they did give you a sauce which I think was Chipolte flavored but seemed jarred. Entrees: Tamales, we could not finish them they were dry and had more rice inside the corn husk than tamale, also had some form of meat which was supposed to be beef but we did not feel comfortable to continue to eat them. NO SEASONING! Carnita (pork) Platter, The meat came out cool to the touch (not even warm). I will say the tortillas were home maid and very good. side of Rice that came with the meal tasted as though it was dipped in tomato juice. another meal with NO SEASONING! All in all young lady working out front was nothing more than counter help and not a waitress so expect nothing more. The food itself was below average very flat tasting with no SEASONING. Needless to say happy we tried it however we will not be attending again nor recommending to anyone. read more

I have been here so many times now I've lost count. I am a huge fan. This place is nice quiet unpretentious, that consistently delivers great food, with great service. I'm fairly particular and they accommodate me and anyone else, that may not want certain things on their dish. Sometimes there is extra help (wait staff) and sometimes not, the service is always fast, friendly and courteous. I've had almost everything on the menu, I've had the chicken tacos, very good. I had the chicken burrito, also very good. I'm here again for the chicken chimigunga, and the specials are great too. So I keep coming back for lunch and dinner. read more

Found this place recently as a result of searching on Yelp and I'm glad we did. Must have driven by it over 100 times in the past. Place is unassuming as it shares a building with a pizzeria. Plenty of parking and the inside has enough room to sit 15-20. We have picked up from here twice now and both times were good. The guacamole with chips is on point and very fresh. I had the soft beef tacos both visits and would get them again. My wife got the chicken quesadillas both times. First time they could have used more cheese but we asked for extra cheese the second time around and they were much better. This place is a very solid option for Mexican in the area that does not have many options. read more

I have been coming here for almost two years, and I feel terrible that I haven't written a review till now. I have literally gotten down on my knees and bowed to Maria, her food is incredible. It's a small, super friendly, family run place; it's like eating at moms - only mom is a culinary GENIUS with chorizo and cactus. Great vegan, vegetarian options in addition to incredible carnivorous feasts. I have never had anything here I didn't like, but my two recent favorites which are just mind blowing, are the chorizo fries appetizer and the zacatecanas fajitas. I can't even begin to do justice in words for the fajitas, but everyone orders them next time, after I make them taste mine. I love you Maria!! read more

I just moved back to lebanon after living in TEXAS for 7 years, so I know Mexican food! My Mexican wife (who spent her whole life in Texas) and I absolutely loved this place. The chips weren't amazing, but the salsa that goes with them was really good. I got the burrito melt and it was great. Unfortunately, they didn't have beef fajitas here, but they had chicken and garden (never had before) fajitas. One thing my wife and I were going to miss about Texas was the great Mexican food, but I'm glad we found this place. It is definitely good Mexican for a place in jersey. Also, I didn't see a drink menu or anything, so I'm not positive if you can get margaritas. I give it 4 stars, because it was overall very good food. Chips weren't great and don't think you can get margs. read more

This place is incredible. Have been going here for years. Don't listen to "Denise B." who is posting 1 star reviews for a small, family owned restaurants during a pandemic because she had to wait on what is most likely one of their busiest days of the year. Nice review Karen. Los Chilitos is an absolute gem. Support local business while supporting your taste buds with fantastic authentic Mexican delights. read more

I met a friend here for an impromptu lunch and was delighted! Although the establishment is small and has a very casual decor, the food is excellent. Although not extensive the menu is great, they give good portions, and the prices are very reasonable considering how good it is. I had the shrimp burrito, and it was worth going back for. The shrimp and the rest of the ingredients in the burrito were fresh and tasty. In addition, the people who work there are lovely. I don't live in the area, but next time I'm close by I'll make a point of stopping for another wonderful meal. read more

I just don't know I'm which part of Mexico they serve those portions of hot sauce/ salsa. Please stop doing that if you have to charge for it then do it!! But that's a shame... read more

I can't even begin to tell you how good this place is. The chicken/steak burrito is perfect in every way and the homemade guacamole is some of the best I've tasted. The place is a must if you live in the area. read more

I am a huge fan of Mexican food done right... The food here is delicious and FRESH! Guacamole made to order.. Shrimp fajitas and shrimp quesadilla were both so good and the guacamole 'sauce' and salsa verde complimented them perfectly!! Also LOVED the pork burrito with cactus and carnitas/mango quesadilla. Pork was tender and tasty. Although not typical Mexican as I've previously had in other states, it is certainly the BEST around here! Place is adorably decorated and the owner and son are as friendly as can be!! You won't be disappointed if you give the unique, made fresh combos a try... read more

Quaint - Family atmosphere, BYOB is great! Start with the empanadas, delicious! Brought half the baseball team and service was friendly and everything came out quickly and hot. Fajita burrito was off the plate! Chicken fajitas as they say are "muy Bueno"! Very clean and well decorated. I will be coming back very soon! read more
