Known for their great chilaquiles con lengua, the restaurant features super friendly staff and a laid-back, counter service style with casual seating. Located on a main street in Cambridge, it is popular for pick-up orders and is known for having the best burritos in the Cambridge area. The ingredients are always fresh, with tasty tacos and fresh guacamole. Plates are fairly traditional and good, with nice portions.

The atmosphere is welcoming, with an electric vibe that makes every visit feel like coming home. The staff is helpful and attentive, ensuring that each meal is crafted with care. The salsa bar is a highlight, featuring vibrant verde and smoky chipotle options that elevate the dining experience. With ample portions, many find that one meal can provide enough food for another meal. Chilacates is not just a restaurant; it is a culinary destination that leaves diners eagerly anticipating their next visit.
