It’s a good place to grab lunch during office days. I usually go for the soft tortilla chicken tacos. It tastes amazing with the cheese and sour cream. Overall has been a good experience each time.

Loved it. It was order online and pick up which saved me from the long queues. The serve a generous portion which is freshly prepared and tastes delicious. This is going to be my fav drop in now. Sorry forgot to mention we orders - one veggie burrito🌯 and two hot bowls 🍲 - chicken and veggie. All three of us were super happy 😋.
Keep it up guys 😃

Just chill Sam. And I did with a burrito from Chilango in tow. Chilango was first started from two ex-Skype guys who found it hard to find good Mexican food Over the last ten years, Chilango have expanded to almost a dozen stores littered around London. Serving their funky Mexican goodness for the masses. I went with the mild spiced chicken goodness. Chilango’s burritos come with coriander-rice, beans, salsa, cheese and sour cream. As mine was part of the MealPal offer, there wasn’t any customisation available, but at least there was no wait. It was a good level of spice, and the chunks of chicken are serious. It ends up being a bit sloppy with the salsa mix and everything wet, but the burrito survived intact. Not the prettiest but a solid burrito with a spicy kick.

...I'd heard a lot about Chilango burritos, so when I discovered that they were opening on Leather Lane and offering FREE burritos on their first day of opening, I had to go. We recently moved offices, and I forgot how much further away they are from Leather Lane...so I walked 15 minutes in the rain, with the flu, feeling like I was gonna pass out, to find myself at the end of a ve

The only place that has equally good burritos as Chipotle (some say better!) but sadly, no margaritas. I find Chilango is a bit more hit and miss than Chipotle, where I know my burrito will be heartbreakingly good. To be honest, this is the only real competition though. There are three Chilangos in London (I think), one in Holborn, one on Fleet Street

I visited this place recently and it was a wonderful experience being here. The food was awesome and was served in pretty good quantities as well. The ambience is also quite warm and comfortable. Overall this one is a pretty good option for a nice meal with friends. I am surely going to come back here soon.

I am a regular customer at this place as it is pretty convenient for me. The food is awesome and the quantity is quite great as well. The service is efficient and the staff is quite friendly. Although, the food is expensive but then it is high on quality as well. I am already a regular and surely recommend others.

I have absolutely loved my last visit to the restaurant. I had ordered the chicken burrito and was oozing with pleasure. The food is very satisfying, the service is prompt. even the portions are generous. I recommend this place totally and shall visit again without fail. The prices are neither cheap nor expensive.

This place has a very appalling view and they have a huge variety of Mexican beers too. The food was good ans the staff seemed pretty helpful too. I went there with ex partner of mine who was trying to propose me again and I said yes so this place is definitely recommended by me.

I visited this place expecting a good Mexican meal. The prices of the food here are a tad bit lower than those of its competitors. I ordered a Chicken Burrito with chips and guacamole. I did not quite like the Burrito that much, and the portion size of the guacamole was too small. I did not savor the food that much here, maybe because I'm used to having Mexican food at another famous chain of restaurants. The staff is extremely friendly and polite and the service is prompt. The ambiance is well decorated and colorful. Its a good place to have Mexican food, even though its not one of the very famous ones.

I am utterly amazed that i haven't reviewed this place yet!! It is little funky place in my opinion. If you are looking for a place to have you mid day meal this is just the right place. I am a regular at the place and visit at least once each week.
The menu is your typical mexican cuisine and the taste so freaking good.They hit bulls eye with their taste.
I recommend trying chicken totopos !Simply amazing.
Definitely drop in.

This place is worth trying for good quality Mexican food and that too at reasonable rates. One can simply vouch for the kind of food quality which is being offered to the clients. This Mexican place is a borrowed authentic concept from back in town, It This place is worth trying!

This has to be among my favorite places serving Mexican. One can clearly see that the ingredients and the fillings are freshly cut as opposed to many other places. The burrito has some great flavors, and is not bland. One can get the delicious guacamole for a little extra money.
A must try!

This place serves some really good tex-mex dishes. I ordered for burritos (pork and chicken), chicken tacos and tortilla chips with salsa. Two beers with it and i was done for my craving for a complete fast food. Would definitely return back again to satisfy my taste buds. Highly recommended!

A place which has a queue as long and people waiting as excitedly in it as only those waiting to try a new ride at disneyland! definitely speaks about the place in itself. The place is well deserving of the crowd and wait. It has something different to offer. Also has online order service, thankfully!

The only upside about this place is the quantity and portion sizes they offer. Not that every dish is worth the price but they are filling. Coming to the QUALITY of their dishes, well, they do NOT have ANY! Ordered Pork burrito, tasteless, soft and wet sort of pieces. Very off putting. Tortillas were crushed, pork belly very unpleasant., wraps are mushy and rice over cooked. There is nothing they did right!

I finally decided to give this place a shot and it turned out to be a good bet. I had pork and steak tacos. The food was an absolute delight but a bit on the expensive side. Moreover, the menu is not quite an extensive one though it offers a lot of healthy options to choose from. Overall, it was a very nice experience but I must also say that it can improve a bit as well.

This place is new and I decided to give it a good try. In my opinion is was quite decent and not a bad bet. The wraps are worth trying and are quite filling. The atmosphere of this place is very bright and chirpy giving it a very nice vibe. The service was also impeccable.

This place had good burritos, and one of the best around town. This is not the case always and you have to try your luck to find out how they are today. It's sad that they don't serve margaritas though, it would have made the experience even better.

I had been suggested to try this place quite a few times so I made it a point to go here as soon as it opened nearby with an offer for burritos on the house on the inaugural day. It was a quite a walk to the place, but completely worth it. The burritos were just perfect! Surely returning here.

I came here one day on a late lunch when I noticed, for once, the line was not out the door.
I chose a chicken burrito and found it more than filling, if not a little bland. But you have the option of doctoring the spice levels so I knew for next time, although a little salt wouldn't have gone amiss.
The staff were friendly and happy to explain what everything was as the array of options are more than just average.
The portion size was very big, I barely got through half before I had to throw in the towel and pack it away. I did find it got soggy quickly though.

I will never pass up an opportunity to eat Mexican food and I am sure glad I decided to try Chilango! I got the grilled chicken burrito. The chicken was grilled to perfection with each piece having a nice toasted and crunchy layer on it and the burrito itself was moist, just as it should be. I loaded mine up with guacamole as well, something I highly recommend.

I am a great fan of Mexican food and "Chilango" is undoubtedly the best Mexican food chain I have come across.
An extremely busy work schedule forces most of us to have food at our desks, this is a little saddening. What makes it worse is an unsatisfactory lunch. While I was working at St.Paul's I discovered Chilango with a couple of my colleagues and it became a religion with us to visit this place at least thrice a week.
The place is extremely crowded during lunch time and people queue outside this small shop waiting for their turn. Pleasantly the turn around time is quick and before you realize its your chance to order.
The menu is pretty standard: burritos, enchiladas, burrito bowl and salads. Each dish is generously portioned. The food is so fresh, especially the veggies that go into the salads and burritos. The salsa amazes your taste-buds.
This is what I call a satisfying lunch, that keeps you charged up for the rest of the day.
Wherever you see a Chilango just try to get hold of that sumptuous meal.

Everything you would want from a burrito: stacked high with meat, salad, cheese, salsa and sauce and all at a pretty reasonable price.

The meat options here are particularly fantastic: the steak comes in big chunks which are meltingly tender and easy to eat - in stark contrast to many burrito places where it is too firm and makes the hole thing impossible to eat without making a total mess!

The pork is also a bit different: not your classic pulled pork but, again, big chunks with the perfect combination of fat and meat to make the whole thing super tasty.

Last time i came, they were also doing a special with king prawn which was a great unique twist on the standard burrito theme.

The interior is pretty standard for a burrito place but it was clean and comfortable. There was also a nice range of sauces to add to your burrito - making this a fantastic spot to grab a quick bite to eat.

The staff here are always so lovely! Portion sizes are great, I’m never left hungry!!! Today I redeemed my free birthday meal every member of staff wished me a happy birthday and even remade my order when I dropped it on the floor 🤦🏻‍♀️. My favourite place to come for lunch when I’m working in London!!!

Was feeling pretty tired from studying and a little stressed thinking about some work I needed to do. Went in to get my usual veggie burrito order and waited to order. While queuing I was just so happening to think about my previous positive experiences with the staff at this branch where most of them are extremely friendly, from the cleaner to the cashier. While ordering the cashier apologised/thanked me for “waiting so long” (I really wasn’t, there were only 2 people ahead of me) and asked me if I was a student as there was a student discount. Was really happy to be offered a discount, but I didn’t actually get the student discount at all. When it was time for me to pay the cashier took 50% off the price of my order to thank me for “waiting so long”. Completely lifted my mood and brightened up my day. Food at Chilango is always tasty but this branch in particular is special as it is staffed by literal angels. Burrito’s aren’t exactly cheap but are definitely worth the price. You can also get boxes which are pretty good value for London for just under £5.

A decent place that serves Latino street food. I ordered the burrito without the wrap. It was really tasty. Coupled it with some baked waffle fries with a BBQ dip. The dip had some good kick to it. Price was okay, considering it's in London. Overall a good place to have a quick bite!

The staff was absolutely lovely. One thing that really stood out, was how they were consistently checking the temperature of the food, and continuously wiping down all surfaces to ensure safety for all customers. The food itself was also delicious and the place was incredibly good value for money with something for everybody.

A great option for a quick freshly made Mexican in central London. + side: customise your box / burrito, even with the usual long queues, waiting time is minimal and the ingredients are quite fresh and good quality. I would recommend to go for the steak Hot box / burrito, tastes great + it’s quite rare to find stake at any other Mexican places. Staff at this branch is also super nice. - side: you might get the feeling you are getting a “ryanair” burrito: looks like a great price but once you add toppings in, bigger size, etc ...make it large + extra stake + guacamole (£1.5, a total rip off this one) + chips and drink, you might end up paying double... Staying in is only an option if you are listening to your headphones - music is ridiculously laud so people will leave ASAP - but on the other hand, the take away option works brilliantly well & fast. Not giving full 5 stars for the chips - Other chains have better chips - and the “add guacamole for ONLY £1.5 I hear every time I go...but all in all, a great Mexican for take away! Felix

Good burritos with tasty fillings, I like the pork and chicken. Prices have gone up a little but you get a decent amount of food for the money. Friendly and efficient service, if there is a queue it usually moves quite quickly.
