Chilacates Chestnut Hill #4

I ordered take out while my wife was en route home via Chilacates. I don’t normally do the ordering because my wife and children are much faster and adept at using the sites … m it I found the Chilacates platform impressively straightforward to use and the sheer number of preparations and variations mind boggling. Really easy to use even for index finger pecking me. My wife had half of the HUGE “PATRON” shrimp burrito, with added corn, guacamole, platano maduro, and salsa verde. She loved the balance of flavors with the sweet maduro complementing the shrimp and black beans with mild accents of onion flavor. She rated this as the best burrito she’s tasted. I had the carnitas bowl with both kinds of beans, corn, guacamole, and maduros. The attached pic illustrates its lovely presentation

Used to really like this place. Most recent experience has me never going back. Food has gone from exceptional to horrible over the years as the prices have climbed. Recently bought some nachos and a Birria taco plate. Photos speak for themselves. Nacho’s are flavorless and bland, the only redeeming quality is the meat. The taco plate is like a make your own taco plate but the ingredients are all dry and terrible like a boring rice bowl. $40 for this

The service is good . They have plenty of parking . I ordered the steak quesadilla with a Mexican Soda. The cost was about $20.00 . The quesadilla came with guacamole, sour cream , and pico de gallo included in the price . The food portions were good . They were generous with the guacamole as well . The bathrooms were clean and the establishment was clean . They have amble seating inside and outside . I chose to eat outside on this beautiful evening my dinner , which I mentioned above . They have free mints in the front counter. 🙏🏼

I'm sorry to write a mediocre review, but our experience was sub-par in comparison with other taquerias. Convenient location near a mall with a free parking lot. Beautiful interior decor, clean restrooms. The first issue is that there were no prices on the menu, which makes it unfair for customers. Prices are pretty high, $16 for 3 biria tacos, which were very greasy and salty. The chicken burrito was good and fairly priced, under $11. Seating was not so comfortable, either the table is too high or the chairs are too low. They don't provide real utensils, only disposable, and no plates for sharing. Also no cups and free water, as seen at Tango Mango for example. Lastly, the cashier lady was not so friendly or service oriented. She was too busy around lunch time, taking care of walk-i

Another great find from searching Google maps. Great atmosphere with tasty food. I had the fish Burrito with black beans, rice, mixed vegetables and cheese. My wife had vegetable enchiladas with black beans and rice. Plus, a from Mexico glass bottle Coca Cola. Staff seemed nice. Very nice restroom. If you are in the area, I can suggest trying out Chilacates.
