They have the,ed nights like taco Tuesday and wine Wednesday. Hookah and karaoke is available in a separate area away from the dining area. Owner comes around and likes to talk to people he hadn't seen before in the restaurant and get there opinions and thoughts on the service and food. Went here with a small group and order a few apps. Ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls, shrimp and chicken fried rice, broccoli bowl with chicken, wings and Mac and cheese. I only tried the wings ( very good), shrimp and chicken fried rice (good flavor but the tail on the shrimp always irritates me). I ordered a bowl of the cream of crab. A bit salty and a little too many crushed up shells for me. I wanted a ribeye steak but they didn't have anymore so I got the t bone. It was cooked exactly how I wanted it (medium rare). Every bite was flavored well. My old fashion was strong and good. I will be going back to try more on the extended menu.

I attended an event across the street from Chilangos and wanted to grab a quick bite beforehand, so…read moreI stopped in on a Saturday night. It was pretty empty when I arrived, but the aesthetics were nice and inviting. I sat at the bar and ordered tacos. I love when a spot lets you mix and match proteins, and Chilangos delivered. I tried the shrimp, carnitas, and lamb tacos, and I also got to choose my own salsa--I went with the mango salsa. The lamb was a bit dry, but the carnitas and shrimp were really good. The food came out very fast and was served with complimentary chips and salsa, which was a nice touch. I didn't get the bartender's name, but she made sure my food came out quickly and that I was taken care of. Overall, decent service and solid tacos if you're looking for a quick and tasty stop.

It had been a minute since I have been to turps. On a beautiful bar hopping night, I made it my…read morebusiness to add turps to the line up. We strolled through mount vernon and sat at the booth closest to the door. In true bar hopping fashion my friend and I put in or drink orders and decided on food. Of course I got a few whiskeys and a few green tea drinks. I must say they really missed the mark for the green tea drinks but lucky for them, this was stop number four , so I was already 2 sheets to the wind. Service: our server got all our food correct and brought all our drinks promptly. Food: I am a huge fan of the lobster Mac and cheese. I can't tell you what part of the lobster it is, all I know is that it's a healthy portion for 10 bucks. It's quite delicious too. My friend is now a believer as well. Their pizza Is quite delicious, especially on half price pizza night. The wings aren't too shabby either. All In all it's bar food so you can't expect too much. If you're drinking, it definitely gets the job done. Cleanliness: the bathroom are always pretty filthy. If you are a bar crawler like me, I'd hold it until the next spot. If you bring your own sanitizer, you'll be fine.

Are the new owners trying to sabatoge their own restaurant? Within the past year, prices have…read moreincreased 40-80% on every item, yet food quantity and quality is at at all time low. The bar is never stocked with enough of the basic liquors or beers, let alone enough other things to make a genuine mixed drink. (Remember the Super Bowl this year when their taps were dry and barely had any canned or bottled beer prior to the day, yet didn't restock for the game?) They are so stingy they make the bartenders use actual measuring cups to pour drinks, then watch the employees on camera and reprimand them if a pour amount is the slightest bit too much. They've either fired or drastically cut back the hours of the best staff the place has had for years and have replaced them with a server who admits she prefers to work when the place is empty (and, quite frankly, doesn't even pay attention to customers who show up). The bar stools are so dilapidated I'm surprised no one has gotten seriously hurt from one breaking under them. The hours are also not consistent. Not only does the restaurant close earlier than almost anywhere in the city, the kitchen often closes a solid 45min before the advertised closing sign; which you don't find out until you walk in and realize you can't order food. Turps used to be the daily hangout for the neighborhood, with many folks eating there at least once a day, every day. Now we go only to support the one or two good bartenders when they're actually work; the food is so terrible, has gotten so expensive for what is offered, and service is so terrible, it's no longer worth going just to go and hang out and eat and drink on a regular basis. The new owners need to stop running the place into the ground; it's like they don't even know how to manage a bar and restaurant. They've taken a thriving neighborhood staple that took care of their employees and turned it into a pit. Truly a shame.

Over the years the aesthetics has changed, most of the bar chairs were removed leaving just a few, table and chairs are spreads throughout the lounge, and lesser people actually come now.

However, once you entered the second door there was a dim lit bar area with bar stools, tables and chairs. We decided to sit at the bar. We were greeted and given menus. We were told that the happy hour was from 5-8pm and that meant that the drinks were $2.00 off. I chose to get the park height punch considering the neighborhood we were in was Park Heights. The main ingredient in it was tequila. The drink was ok but, just a little too on the sweet side for me. For my food order was a small dark meat jerk chicken with extra jerk sauce with white rice. I wanted white meat but, they were all out. As we sat there waiting on our food I have say they were pretty busy from customers whom had placed pick up orders. There were only a few people actually dining in. I was a little disappointed because I thought they would be playing some Caribbean music but, they were not. There is also a pool table if you like to play pool. The barmaid was friendly and attentive. The food didn't take too long to come out. Let me tell you the jerk chicken did not disappoint. It came with a side of curry sauce and barbecue sauce. I wasn't a fan of the curry sauce but, that barbecue sauce was definitely a hit on my jerk chicken and rice. It was so good I placed a to go order for the same exact thing. I would like to try this place on the weekend during the real lounge hours.

Came here for the Miracle at 34 Marketplace Pop-up holiday bar at Power Plant Live!…read more This pop-up bar was held in the Leinie Lodge and Beer Garden venue. Reservations were recommended, but not needed. We were greeted by a friendly host who instructed us to choose wherever we wanted to sit. The venue was decorated very festive, which may be considered "overstimulation" for some folks. There were seasonal menu items available for drinks and apps in addition to a full menu. There was Xmas movies showing on the TVs around the venue and music playing as well. We placed our order: "stocking stuffers" which were deviled eggs topped with jalapeño and candied bacon and they were really good; loaded nachos with shredded chicken, which arrived in a half sheet pan (enough for 2-3 people) with mounds of sour cream, guacamole and a nice salsa, which was very good as well. For the drinks: "snowball old fashioned, which consisted of rye whiskey, gingerbread and it was served in a festive Santa Claus embossed rocks glass with a round ice cube and was absolutely delicious; we also got the "Christmapolitan" a floral cocktail with vodka, elderflower, cranberry juice, and dry vermouth, among other things and that was good as well. If you're looking for a perfect holiday selfie spot, you found it here. This pop up is here until December 28. They also had outside "globe" huts that were transparent plastic available for an additional cost to sit in and enjoy your food and drinks outside. All in all, we really enjoyed this pop up bar and look forward to coming back again next year.

It was happy hour so I also grabbed their spicy guavarita margarita which is my favorite. I didn't do a pitcher this time but it still didn't miss. Heads up that they do tack on a 19% gratuity and 3% convenience fee but they gave me the heads up on that in two ways.

It was a Wednesday night at 7:30 ish pm but I was expecting there would be more people. I liked that we were given the free chips with 3 types of salsa, that was a nice bonus. I ordered the cold brew martini and rockfish tacos. It was good but I guess for $19, I was expecting more than two small tacos, rice and beans. I ate it because I was hungry. One thing I didn't like was the gratuity was already on the bill but the waiter never said anything until my friend pointed it out. Of course if you pay by card, the tip box comes up automatically and you have to remember to tap no tip. I can tell the quality of the food had declined over the years. The service was okay as we didn't need much from the waiter. He wasn't the friendliest waiter either.
