Chilango is an apt place for fast but still healthy food to takeaway or stay in. They offer curries, salads and wraps along with other snacks. We tried the chicken wraps with sweet potatoes fries. Loved the fact that I could have my wrap without rice and substitute it with cooked veggies and sour cream instead of mayo. Recommended!
I like this place, it was my first time trying it out. I was in a hurry so I wanted a quick meal, I ordered their signature chicken burrito with added grilled onions and pepper + guacamole. It was very tasty and the portion was generous. Would definitely go back again đź‘Ť

Some people are all about that bass. 'Bout that bass. 'Bout that bass. No tremble. Myself, I'm all about that grilled steak burrito. Absolutely phenomenal.
Best Cinco De Mayo I ever spent! The staff had amazing make up and attire, the place was done up and the ambience was totally worth the alone time.
Also in my personal opinion, nobody does better burritos in London.
Highly recommended
I Wish I Could Eat Here Everyday. As a California transplant, this place is the closest I get to feeling at home. The food is fresh, authentic, and delicious. If you don't like it, it means you don't like real Mexican food. If you haven't tried it, try it. The burritos, nachos, and tacos are incredible.
Chilango Burittos one of the best steak burittos I have ever had ,service was good ,they have some very good mexican beer try it very good, if you are in isligton upper street you need to visit chilango,The place was busy at lunch time also Keep up the good work will be back soon
Great food. I took my two daughters aged 9 and 11 for dinner at Chilango's yesterday,we had a great time,the staff were very friendly and helpful.The staff gave suggestions as what the kids would enjoy and what was too spicy .The food was great, and the portions were big,my kids shared there's.
Like This Place. My father recommended it to me and the food was really really nice with good service i would happily eat here again.
Hangover a-go-go. Perfect tucker for when you're struggling through the day in the office and need some tummy-lovin'. Not that I couldn't enjoy it at other times; it's just quite a big lunch to justify!
Also - don't be put off by the queue, it goes down quickly.
I like it. My dad said it was good so I tried it myself and it was really lovely. The pork burritos are absouloutly gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recommended it to everyone
Tasty, healthy, cheap. Really different tasty choices. Good for veggies.Great value and very pleasant experience. Part of a growing chain too!
Chilango. Love this restaurant. If you love Mexican you have to try it. Modern, uplifting and the freshest food I've tasted in a long time. Really good value for money and free refills on soft drinks. Reminded me of places in the USA.
Chilango. Me and my Collegues absolutely loveeeee chilango and we r up for it every week................ Its great
FOOOOD. Meadowhall ,Sheffield the staff are really friendly and the food is excellent ,reminded me of being back in the States.
Banging Burritos !!!!!. Need I say any more ????? Visit Chilango's you will not be disappointed - The service is friendly, the food is excellent with fab value......
Amazing Burittos. Chilango's serve the best and biggest burittos you have ever seen. They give great service and considering the portion size are great value. I had the grilled chicken burrito and my husband had the steak burrito washed down with great Mexican beers! Highly recommended if your in Islington.
Brilliant!. Went for lunch with my mum and we had a really great meal. The girls behind the counter were really helpful and very friendly, as my mother and me had never had mexican out before. I revisited with my boyfriend a couple of weeks later and received the same great service. Oh and the food is amazing. Perfect if you just want to walk around the shopping centre with a burrito in your hand. A different and healthier take on fast food. Love it!! In fact we're going again tonight!
A new favourite of mine definitely!
Best Taco in Town!. Amazing this place rocks!!! Every time I go to Angel I just have to go! The soft corn tortillas they use for the tacos are awesome. Keep up the good work guys!!!
Burrito bliss. Our first trip to Chilango in Angel was great: we'd had burritos in San Francisco and we did not expect the ones in Chilango to be close to authentic, but they were! Even down to the conveyor-belt like action at the counter and the aluminium foil packaging. This was a real find.
Amazing!. This Angel spot WILL surprise you in more ways than one. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great, it truly has a great vibe. Everybody from the staff is super friendly and believe me, they are more than generous with the food! Now, moving on to some serious stuff, let me tell you about the food... The steak (my favorite),could not be cooked in a better way, it is flawless and SO juice you won't believe it! The pork is also truly fantastic and since this is the best Mexican restaurant in London, the chicken of course is bound to be amazing. And for my favorite part THE GUACAMOLE!!! Any amount of money that I'd be ask for to pay extra, I will AND MORE!!!! Please do go to Chilango and do try the Guacamole!!! ENJOY!!!
NICK. Food is fresh and delicious and the service is excellent. the future of food that can be obtained quickly (i loathe to refer to it as fast food because it is about as far from your typical fast food as you can get).
could not reccommend it more highly.

UK version of Chipotle, which is a god thing!. As an American implant to London, I was very worried about not getting my proper fill of Tex-Mex - I was particularly worried about going into Chipotle withdrawal. But Chilango fills the void left by the absence of Chipotle in the UK.
The food is quite good and very filling. I typically go for the burrito (either steak or chicken). The ingredients are fresh and the portions are plentiful. And I like the assembly-line-before-your-eyes approach to food preparation. Not only does it remind of Chipotle (which is always a good thing), but I also like the interactive nature of being involved with the creation of your burrito (or taco) masterpiece.
Another thing about Chilango I like is the availability of bottomless cups. Free refills are de jure in the US, but not in the UK. It's nice to be able to get a refill if you need one (or want one).
I will be a loyal customer of Chilango not only because it makes me feel at home, but also because the food is excellent and you get value for what you pay.
My sister introduced this place to me and I have been back a few times more since then. Well worth the trip from south east London!
Really good food!!. Totally recommend this place! The food is amazing! Yum!! And such good value too.
Lovely Fresh Food. I popped into Chilango on inpulse as I was passing on my way back from a meeting. I hadn't heard of it and didn't know what to expect. Once I'd got over my 'old lady in Starbucks' feeling of total confusion from the amount of choice I absolutely loved it. Huge helpings of fresh and tasty food piled into a soft tortilla. I'll definitely go back. I'm training for a marathon and went for a run later in the day and I'm sure my fast time was at least partly due to my enormous, healthy lunch!
Great Food. Food ids outstanding each time I go, Kind and pleasant staff.
LOVE IT. Its a shame its so far away. I live in west london and travel over to east london JUST for chilango.
I love it!!! The burritos are almost as good as southern california and THAT is pretty hard to do. other mexican places are just kinda 'alright'.
oh...and the staff are cool as hell...
and one of them is hot
Yum!. Really delicious tacos!! And the agua de jamaica... not to everyone's taste but I love it - reminds me of happy times in Mexico. The portions are generous, service is quick and the staff are friendly. What more do you need?!
Great food - tasty price. Chilango is a popular little eating spot in Angel that my boyfriend and I treat ourselves to once a week. The food is amazingly tasty, my preferance being the juicy chicken burrito and his the beef. Dinner sorted for under ÂŁ7. And you can help yourself to free Mexican hot sauce so you choose the heat of your food. Love it for its canteen like charm, friendly staff and generous portions.
There's A Good Reason For The Queues. I was introduced to Chilango's by a friend from work - he had one near him at Old Street and then discovered there was one on Fleet Street so immediately took us all there.
When we arrived there was a queue out the door - worrying but also a great sign that the food was going to be good. There's a sign in the window saying that you'll be having your burrito in 5 minutes - and they were right. The service is blisteringly fast, very friendly and they never make a mistake.
And the food... man, it's right up there with GBK and Ping Pong as my favourite places for lunch in the city (but if you don't like either of those places don't let that discourage you!). The burritos - I've had the chicken and pork ones so far - are ludicrously tasty. I go for black beans, mild salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and lettuce - sensational and extremely filling. Go get one!
Chilango rocks Chipotle. Yes, it's true ... Chilango gives Chipotle a run for its money! The burritos aren't quite as big, and the tortilla perhaps not quite as sturdy. But I view the former to be a good thing - who wants to feel like a giant refried bean after downing their burrito? The Chilango portion size is just right. As for the latter, Chilango could probably stand to sturdy up its tortilla... but otherwise, this burrito-- from the rice to the veggies to the beans to the guac (my typical order is veggie, black beans, with guac and no sour cream) is as tasty, if not tastier, than its Yankee competitor.
At a loose end for lunch. Lovely, went yesterday and had a pork burrito for lunch, calorific but georgeous! Its a v hectic production line, so not the most plesant place to sit, good choice of salsa.
Will go again.
So delicious - you've got to try it!. This place is fab - the food is real, freshly made and damn good. I'm beginning to develop a burrito habit! The service is always upbeat and friendly and everytime I have visitors to London now I take them there for a consistently top meal. Love it!
Best mexican ever. Chilango is awesome. Fresh. Even better than anything you can get in so-cal. Big call I know. It's a ÂŁ15 cab ride to either the Upper St or Fleet St locations from our office but we regularly make the trek.
Tasty and happy. I always opt for a burrito, usually with steak. Very filling and tasty in a very vibrant atmosphere!
Delicious Mexicana!. I've been to Chilango three times aleady and love it! I recommed it to anyone looking for something new - the service is fast, staff are friendly and the environment is bright and bubbly! Prices are reasonable too! I hope the company expand near my area soon! Top rated!
A truly tasty treat. Chilango is most certainly the finest, tastiest and enjoyable place to grab a quick healthy bite in London. Since moving to London, over two years ago, I have been on the hunt for a top notch burrito establishment and was recently delighted to find Chilango on Fleet Street. Both the staff and the quality of food really deliver. Myself and three friends recently took in a few of Fleet Streets watering holes before feeling rather peckish and decided to sample Chilango. Chilango was about to close but fortunately the charming staff decided to accommodate four hungry customers. The food was perfect and we could even have one more beer for the road. I couldn't recommend the place more highly and it has become one of my favourite places in London to grab a quick healthy dinner.
Amazing. Lovely place, we go out in Angel a lot and stopped in one afternoon. Food is lovely, portions are massive and its very reasonable with a great atmosphere.
The perfect place to stop off for a quick bite to eat
London's answer to Chipotle!. Have been looking for an equivalent to Chipotle which I fell in love with on a trip to the U.S, so am delighted to have found Chilango! Excellent chicken burrito, friendly staff, colourful space to sit upstairs and I even managed to eat a whole burrito - something I struggled with in the US! Yummy!
Best Mexican food!. If you've not been yet, I would suggest everyone who loves Mexican food to check this place out! It's without a doubt the best. They put a lot of care into theire food, but also the staff are very friendly and prices are affordable.
Could eat it everyday!!. Two words AMAZING FOOD!! Since coming to London I have been on a search to find a restaurant that offers great Mexican food. I recently was introduced to Chilango and have been happy ever since. The combination of great food and great vibe makes this place one to come back to over and over.
Chilango. Awesome place - great food, big portions and lovely atmosphere. I will be back
Fan of Mexican food? You will be!. Went to Chilango's with a few mates for some food before a night out - the burritos are just amazing, and really well priced too. The food tasted great, and really fresh, the staff were helpful and friendly and there's some nice Mexican beers to boot. Forget going to your standard fast food restaurants, Chilango is the way forward.
Chilango!. Gotta check this place out! rocked my world! tasty tasy tasty with HUGE portions! the atmosphere is pretty stellar too!
work it out.
Delicious, Nutritious, Fresh and Filling. I've visited twice now, and both times have been very impressed by how such a simple idea is so well executed. It was a great lunch while shopping and on another occasion, a quick dinner when I needed to eat in time for a 7 pm movie. I was super impressed that the chefs are in a kitchen right next to the food preparation so you can see that everything is super fresh.
And in case it matters to you (because it is a maker or a breaker for me) - they have very nice clean loos.
I would totally recommend it!
Excellent. Went to chilangos with my friend and as i never had a burrito before i didnt know what to expect. i had the steak one and thought that it was delicious and very filling. definitely will be coming back....it will be my wednesday hang-out with my friend. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
Chliango- Ace Lunch. I totally have to recommend Chilango on the eesex road near Angel tube. It's absolutely yummy and really reasonably priced for what you get. You're left full up for the rest of the day and it's all healthy too.
I get the veg burrito and my boyfriend normally gets something suitably manly with meat in it, so we don't have to fight over what type of place we go to or lunch. Both options are under a fiver.
I can't handle too much spice and so you can choose how hot you want it. Considering what you'd pay for a supermarket sandwich, this is amazing value and so tasty and yummy! Go check it out for yourself!
If you've contemplated about going to Chilango...contemplate no more! Just go! The food is really, really good and I am addicted to their burritos. I had never heard of burittos until I met my American boyfriend and he told me all about them. We eat in Chilango all the time now and have been loyal customers for a couple of years (when it was previously called Mucho Mas). The staff are friendly, the prices are affordable (no rip offs) and the seating in and out the restaurant is always clean. A great place to go for any meal of the day!
Chilango's is ace. This place is just awesome; I took some clients here and they spoiled us rotten. Fantastic food, amazing service, and they made a real effort with one of my guests who is a fussy eater. Highly recommended, I'll defo be going again.
Chilango. This place is great - I love the burritos, particularly the pork one: the meat is so tender and juicy. Good Mexican beers too. Service is quick and friendly.
Absolutely delicious! Finally there's a great Mexican place in London. Had a fantastic burrito which was packed full of flavour. Can't wait to go back.
Best burrito in London......if not the world :). Okay, maybe there's a better burrito of this style out there but I have yet to find it. The food at Chilango is always fresh, super tasty, and worth every pence. To be honest, sometimes I think the burritos are TOO big but when I'm done I am always satisfied. The steak is juicy, tender, and has a robust meat flavor, the chicken has a great barbecue taste and the pork is mouth-wateringly delicious. Unlike many places in the UK, they don't hold back on the spice, either -- the hot sauce has got a great kick to it while still maintaining a good flavour. The staff is always friendly and I really enjoy the vibe of the restaurant, very hip and "cool." Try the margaritas......they don't skimp on the booze :).
The meat was juicy and rare, and the chunky guac was the perfect antidote to the spicy salsa. It's seriously dirty food, but oh so good. There's no dainty way of eating a burrito, so you just have to pick up lots of napkins and try not to be embarrassed if you end up with sour cream all over your face.
You can taste all the ingredients and all are fresh. Hot sauce not mind-blowing but stays with you for the duration of the meal and little bit more. Nice grilled steak a pleasure to eat down.
I have to be honest, I am a bit of a burrito virgin. I have had one before but it was nothing memorable. They seem to be far more popular these days. In fact, burrito "emporiums" are popping up all over the city to satisy the appetites of Londons workers.

Delicious and satisfying, you will roll out of here. The steak burrito is so good and juicy and flavourful that I want already another even if I'm stuffed to the brim. I finally found one of the best Mexican chain in town, the food is fantastic, the queuing fast, the staff friendly and the portions will leave you full till after dinner time.
For a good fast burrito and a Negra Modelo it's pretty great.
at first sight it definitely catches your eye for it's bright colors and very catchy interior, love the design and concept they have going,Â
The line is fast and the quality is good, their pork belly is amazing and definitely worth trying. Only downside is the extra charge for guacamole and the salsa isn't spicy at all and I'm talking about the spicy one they have... Really could have some extra heat!
All in all a positive experience.
Total cost for one burrito with guacamole and a Negra model: 12ÂŁ
Chilango is a Mexican cuisine that not only diminishes your hunger but also soothes your soul. You can choose between ordering a taco, burrito, salad and nachos, while also personally choosing it’s contents (think Mexican Subway).Â
Though it’s around £6 for a meal, if you eat there at lunchtime then you won’t be thinking about eating again until late evening. Also, don’t be put off by the queues; the lines may seem lengthy but you’ll be served in less than 10 minutes.
For all the veggies out there, the medium vegetarian burrito never fails to satisfy (and you can easily wrap it up to eat later if you’re too full to finish).
I have yet to find a better Mexican chain in London, used to go here at least twice a week during my lunch break.
There is forever a void inside of me that can only be filled by Chilango’s steak burrito (with rice, black beans, cheese and guacamole.) The burritos are big enough to fit snugly in both hands, cradle them as you would your favourite child.
I always like going to Chilango with my female friends whenever we're in Islington - that and Starbucks. I would always go for the chicken burrito, with mild slash, cheese, guacamole and sour cream and the refill cups. Perfect. It's chilled and super fast. The epitome of fast food.
When I first moved to London I was burrito mad, with so many options to choose from! Chilango is my favourite so far out of the ones I've tried although I've yet to try Chipotle - it's on the to-do! I always go for a chicken burrito with beans and lots of cheese. A personal fave. However it will never have anything on my favourite burrito restaurant of all, Mission Burrito!
Chilango was amongst the first Mexican joints to open up as part of the new craze for takeaway quick service burrito places (read - poncho 8, chipotle, chilango). The restaurant in the city on Fleet Street is no wonder synonymous with long queues at lunch time - since the food here is surprisingly very good despite their model of trying to make it as fast as they do.
I would go as far as saying that amongst the competition - chilango probably comes out on top for the best burrito. And this one in angel is always a nice choice to go to either on weekends or weekday evenings as its never over crowded either and one can always find a place to sit and eat.
I was tempted to give the food a 4 because of the limited vegan options. But that wouldn’t be fair as it’s not a vegan restaurant and there are sufficient options. Besides the taste and quality is excellent as well as super filling.
This was my first time and the staff were great at explaining the process and options. It is fun and reassuring to watch them prepare your meal and be asked what you want included; an anxious vegans’ dream.
The decor is super colourful and fun. My only critique of the atmosphere was the music was really loud; which was a little much during the day while the restaurant wasn’t full. Great Latin vibe though.
A fantastic experience and I will come again.
Great place to have tasty burritos. We have been going for many years and have never been disappointed. Food is tasty and quite fresh due to so much demand, plenty of seating, staff is helpful, and music adds to the chill out atmosphere. Its quite easy to get to given the tube and bus stations nearby. There's also a mall with cinema right next to this place for spending more time in the area.
Found this place by mistake. Great interior design, the staff was friendly. Nice burritos, tried the chilango and steak burritos. We got fries with sauce and it was fresh.
Spacious seating areas are available. The restrooms are in the basement and it was clean.
10/10 as always, came back after a long while and I was so happy everything was still the same: delicious food and extremely lovely people working there!!! the restaurant was also looking better than ever, loved the new details (specially upstairs), very cosy!!
We've been going there twice a month (at least) for the last 6 months. All ingredients are fresh and tasty, the beef and chicken are cooked to perfection, the guacamole is full of flavours and the sauce in the salad is delicious. And the staff is delightful, we've now become regulars, they always greet us with a hello and a smile, we love this place!
Was really impressed. Good food, quick and friendly service and while we were there they were doing amazing cocktails. Would definitely go again.
Food is great at most times I visit; steak is my favourite and portions sometimes vary depending on who is serving, when the staff member serves a good portion is very satisfying.
Between us, we had a steak burrito, cheesy nachos, a water and a coke, and the bill came to over ÂŁ20. Quite pricey, all things considered, but the service was great and the food was decent.
Stop off here before our visit or the O2 Islington. A very short walk from the venue and you get delicious, generously made tacos and burritos. Packed full of fresh filling and tasty chicken. First time here, and definitely won’t be my last. Great prices, along with cool corona to balance the spice…throughly recommend coming here.
This place is absolutely fantastic.. The management and her team on duty at the time was second to none. The food was impeccable and decent price the vibe here is brilliant with an open kitchen and staff allowed to play their own music and seem to have a good hold on things and hard working which is perfect.
will definitely return :)
This place has ruined burritos for me because it’s the best quick service Mexican place I’ve ever been to. Usually burrito bars barely season the different elements that make it but absolutely everything I got was delicious. If they ever open one in Ireland I’ll be the first in the door.
I will say, this isn’t my first time coming into Chilango. I love exploring resteraunts and their foods. With a tortilla and chipotle also here, I’ve explored each option but returned to Chilango, due to the consistent amazing customer service and atmosphere. I often find that these type of businesses lose their charm, but not chilango.
There was no music, but the workers kindly explained it was a technical issue. I would like to say the Worker “Alice” was very kind and informative on the new Carnitas.
I hope Chilango doesn’t lose its charm. It really brought a smile to my day.
Chilango’s is still our go-to spot for a burrito.
They always make it exactly how you like it, unlike other competitors. Staff are always welcoming and pleasant to deal with. Will be back again.
I love this place. I’m from America and this is the closest to a American West Coast Mexican burrito I’ve found in the city. I come as often as I can!
My favourite Mexican in Islington. It’s good to know there’s always a burrito waiting for you on Upper st. These guys are open quite late, so if you’re up for Mexican - takeaways are fast and easy.
Lunch options are there as well - there’s always an empty table upstairs.
