Chilango

Chilango, Antojitos Mexicanos es un local que lleva unos tres años.
Está en pleno barrio Loreto, al lado de locales nocturnos, por lo que siempre antes de ir a escuchar música, comerse unos taquitos al pastor siempre es bienvenido.
A mí la comida mexicana me encanta, comer incluso nopal asado. Y lo que más me gusta de este lugar es que es real comida mexicana.
Su dueño vivió en México entonces nos ofrece una carta muy, pero muy rica, y el nombre del local, pues más mexicano no puede ser, al vivir en el deefe ya te llamas chilango.
El valor de los platos no es caro, accesible si quieres comer rico. Hay desde quesadillas, burritos, caldos, y tortas, las tortas son uno de mis favoritos, me encantan, y quizás es lo que más echo de menos de las calles mexicanas.
Puedes comenzar ahí una noche de fin de semana, te juntasen Chilango comes rico y puedes luego ir a alguno de los locales a bailar, y a la salida, sin duda puedes tomarte un agua fresca, porque son ricas y te ayudarán a hidratarte después del bailoteo. Chilango atiende hasta las 5 de la mañana.

I first came here when I was visiting a friend at his bar. We weren’t in the mood for sushi (which is what is served in his pub) so we went next door to try Chilango, a small Mexican place in the increasingly international barrio, Recoleta.
From the outside, Chilango has a badass Mexican vibe with a ‘dia de los muertos’ feel. There is a giant «calaveras» on the sign out front and once you walk in, the décor of photos, trinkets and art make you feel like your in the DF instead of Santiago.
The owner lived and studied in Mexico and has brought the flavors and spice to Santiago (adding a bit of Chilean twist to make it palatable for Chilean tastebuds).
When we got in it must have been around 12am so we were happy to see it was still open! I was deciding between the quesadilla and the burrito, but because the look and feel were super authentic, I decided to try my luck with the burrito.
I am a vegetarian and normally veggie burritos always let me down (except for the Chipotle option). Sure enough, it was a let down and not very filling but, the spicy salsas and nachos did somewhat make up for it. However, my friend, who lived in Mexico for a year, got a burrito with chicken and gave it his seal of approval.
This is a perfect place for a late night snack on your way to or from the bars in the area as they are open super late. I also heard they have some good lunch specials, but for me, I am not sure if the quality-​price ratio is worth it when there are so many other tasty restaurants around with better veggie options.
Tip:
Eat in the restaurant (as opposed to getting your order to go) because they have a selection of different and interesting and spicy salsas that you can choose.

I am giving this place a three, but I am being generous in doing so. Their burritos are actually really yummy, I love them. They have some great salsas that are actually pretty spicy. Their burritos have a really fresh taste to them and don’t leave you feeling super weighed down, which can sometimes happen.
They offer several different burritos, taco and always have freshly made guacamole. So the food great. The location is also great it’s right on loreto by lots of the major bars and Santiago night scene, they also have street seating for the scorching summers. I always stop by here after a night at Onacio.
So what sucks their SERVICE. it doesn’t just suck it’s atrocious. I don’t think I’ve ever received worst service in my life. It’s such a pity as the atmosphere is chill and the food is really a great bajon after a night out.

Mis conocimientos respecto a la comida mexicana, siempre se basaron en el Chavo del 8, siempre quise una torta de jamón, un agua de jamaica, limón y tamarindo, unas enchiladas, chilaquiles, y todas esas cosas de nombres exóticos con una CH metida entremedio.
Acá en Chilango cumplí mi sueño, no había torta de jamón, pero si tacos, chimichangas, pozole, burritos y tortillas.
El local –con una tremenda calavera pintada en la entrada– es atendido por su propio dueño, un cabro buena onda que vivió mucho tiempo en México y se atrevió a instalar un local que ofrece buenos platos y a buenos precios. Mis favoritas son pos las chimichangas, disque las quesadillas, y los pinches burritos, que son gigantes y vienen con harto relleno.
En la semana tienen un menú económico (menos de 4 lucas) y los platos en general no sobrepasan los $ 5.000.
Así que si se pegó un bailoteo en el Onaciú o en el Bar Loreto, no puede dejar de pasar por ahí a bajonear unos ricos chilaquiles con un vasito de aguas frescas para evitar la caña del día después, ojo que éste lugar abre jueves, viernes y sábado hasta las CINCO DE LA MAÑANA!
