It hasn’t changed. Same great taste and talk about the huge burritos!! They have tejuinos too just need to call before to order. For safety and their safety but it doesn’t take long to get your order ready. I been coming here for years now. Then I stopped because of the diet lol. Today I decided to treat myself. Never disappoints. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The person at the front counter spoke primarily Spanish and spoke broken English, which made ordering difficult. This is only a problem for those who don’t speak any Spanish, such as myself. I ordered 2 chili rellenos burritos with chips and guacamole. The bill came out to over 40 dollars, and the food was not good at all.

El Chilito is a little hole in the wall in Downey,CA. It may be small but this place serves some of the best Mexican food around. The rice is traditional Mexican with all the right ingredients. Soft and moist. The beans are slow cooked and taste great! Enchiladas,tacos, sopes,chili Verde, carnitas, carne asada are all delicious. I have never tried the mariscos here. The food is fresh and worth trying. It’s not cheap though. You get what you pay for.

Great food but this past few times I’ve been disappointed with the wait times. I call before hand to make an order. The lady in the front gives me an estimated time of 20 min I get there 20 min later just like she said and I come to find out my order is still in the queue. I have a 30 min lunch break from work and I still gotta drive 5 min here and 5 back. That leaves me with a 20 kin window to eat. I’ve had to wait an extra 20 to 25 waiting for my order at tye restaurant. The lady need to be more precise she does thus everyday for a living you’d think she would be great at it.

I don’t know what grease or oil they use… But the Taste of the Milanesa was Horrible.

Well I just had the super burrito and holy cow man. U could split it between two people and still have leftovers. Very good flavor and plenty of food for the money. Will definitely be back again.

Carnitas are hands down the best I’ve ever had! Been coming here for about 15 years. Horchata is good, salsas are good…worth the trip from OC!
