Toma and Hogan are awesome bartenders. Every time we have run into them, they have been amazing. Great atmosphere when they’re working! 10/10 recommend!

I used to come here often but haven’t been in a while. I ordered the southwest supreme chicken chimichangas. I think that’s what it was called, with the black beans. It used to be a lighter crisper fried wrap and covered with sauce. It was dry with a side of salsa. I asked for sour cream too. Once I added both the flavor was great. The fried cheese cake was delicious. The raspberry sauce and whip cream take it over the top. But the wrap was the same as the chimichanga. What happened to the light and crispy wraps. Is the oil not hot enough or different or are the wraps different. The flavors were outstanding. The service was excellent.

My friend and I were blantantly ignored by the serving staff. We originally waited 5 minutes to be sat which was no problem, and were seated outside. After 15 minutes, servers passed us without saying a word. No waters or orders taken. At the 20 minute mark my friend asked the hostess if they could send someone over and she was assured they would. After 30 minutes, multiple servers stared at us and gave us no service and we had to leave. When telling the host on our way out that we got no food, and had no service, there was no apology given. Other tables sat after us were served and tended to while my friend and I sat there like idiots. Would not recommend.

A vegan won't go hungry at a place like this. (See photo.) Nice view of the Sleeping Giant. Especially nice in the summer to be outside on the patio.

Vegetarian options: Just pick and choose. They will accommodate. The main thing you DON'T have to worry about with this cuisine is the protein: They've got beans!

My favorite Mexican restaurant. Authentic dishes, great service. It is pet friendly with outside seating. This is where my late wife and I had our first date, so there is a sentimental attachment as well. Enjoy!

I love coming to Aunt Chilada’s with my friends, it is a great environment with great staff however there have been multiple times where I have gone to use the women’s restroom and there has not been any toilet paper. This is extremely frustrating and dehumanizing when I just want to use the bathroom and I am refused toilet paper. Do better aunt Chilada’s

So many mixed feelings here. My dish was very tasty but 2 of the other members of my party both agreed that the chicken tasted old like leftovers. My margarita was a bit strong (not a complaint at all) and the flan- NO! However, the server was very sweet & attentive.

The food was very tasty, but be warned we went on taco Tuesday and the deals on the board are totally misleading. While it says $4 street tacos (no stipulations), most of the street tacos are actually still $6, we were charged that but no one told us of this rule or has it posted.

Happy hour $5 drinks were pretty good. Food was alright. Issue came from the service . . .As a table of about 12, we let the staff know that we’d be splitting the bill. Come the end of our dinner the waiter “blames the kitchen manager” that last minute they would no longer be able to split the bill.Not cool.This is not something you tell the table after dinner to dump on ONE PERSON. Especially when two other members already received their own separate bills.I’ve worked as a waiter before. It’s never “the kitchen’s fault” for a bill not being split. Nor do you tell a table at the end of a meal their bill can “no longer” be split. This should be told at the start of the meal.At today’s standard, there is 0 reason that a restaurant can’t split a bill besides out of date equipment or laziness. Quite simply, hand the table the bill with a pen and let us split it ourselves FOR YOU. Overall; I’m not sure if this was to maximize gratuity tip? — However our tip would’ve been better had our early request for split-checks been honored.Anyway, most of our table decided we wouldn’t return and would rather go somewhere else for happy hour. Torito’s North Haven has a happy hour + Mariachi Bands on Friday/Saturday. Will probably head there next time instead.

Once again, you need to check your bill. I was overcharged on a plate of nachos.The waitress asked if I wanted the door cream on Guacamole on the side, which I did. However, she charged me $6 for the side of Guacamole. Why wouldn't she state that when she took the order?Anyway, $25 for nachos and a soft drink is outrageous if you ask me. BTW, the nachos were just ok.
