El Chilito Restaurant, a beloved establishment in Downey, continues to serve delicious Mexican food. The asada burrito and torta de asada remain favorites among customers, praised for their incredible flavor. The red salsa, known for its spiciness, is often described as "hot AF" and "super spicy," yet also delicious. Customers recommend the burritos, including the wet burrito de asada, carne asada, and al pastor, for their great taste and generous portion sizes. Reviews highlight the excellent and fast service provided by the staff, many of whom have been part of the team for years. Although it is currently a take-out only restaurant, El Chilito is a must-try for anyone seeking authentic Mexican food in the area. Families appreciate the kid-friendly options, like taquitos, and the restaurant is noted for its wheelchair accessibility. With over 30 years in business, this small spot is a cherished gem for both locals and visitors alike.
