El Chilito is a popular restaurant known for its welcoming atmosphere and status as one of the important taco institutions on the east side. It offers outdoor seating with umbrellas and plenty of parking, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a casual meal. The staff is friendly and patient, with super friendly service that is always fast. The menu features a variety of delicious and affordable options, including the popular Barbacoa Tacos, breakfast burritos, chicken tinga, picadillo, bacon egg and cheese tacos, and the well-loved chilaquiles. Customers praise the tacos, especially the carne asada and the best vegan tacos in the city with a shiitake plant based meat option. The queso with chorizo is a favorite, served with thick, crispy and fresh chips. The restaurant also serves refreshing drinks like frozen sangria. The salsa bar allows diners to add as much heat and flavor as they like, with the green hot sauce and super good salsa verde being favorites. El Chilito is a great choice for a quick, casual meal, whether before heading home after work or with friends. Many find it to be their go-to spot for tacos, salads, and street tacos.
