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, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a casual meal. The staff is friendly and patient, helping customers feel at ease. The menu features a variety of delicious options, including the popular Barbacoa Tacos, breakfast burritos, and the well-loved chilaquiles. Customers praise the tacos, especially the carne asada, which many find to be the best they have ever had, with consistent quality and flavor. The restaurant also serves two tasty soups and 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 being a favorite, despite its spiciness. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and pet-friendly. With ample outdoor seating and parking, 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, especially during happy hour from 4-6 pm on weekdays, where prices are very good.
