“ Our go to spot on the way to West Beach in the Spring-Fall. We probably go once a week for most of the warm months. Delicious, fresh tasting, real/freshly diced ingredient tacos and burritos. My go to is the carne asada (steak), my wife loves the chicken based burritos and bowls, and their home-made salsas are incredible (but can pack a wallop, so go lightly if you aren't into that). Also, check out their new restaurant Masa in downtown. ”
“ Authentic Mexican cuisine. Not a whole lot of seating and no alcohol. The flavors are fabulous and a must try if you're in the area. ”
“ Had to resist the urge to order a fourth taco because the first three were outstanding. Highly recommend the al pastor and chicken tinga. These are traditional tacos, so expect them to be on the smaller side, but still exceptionally filling and delicious. The homemade sauces are also out of this world, especially the extra spicy mango. Chips and guac also worthwhile if you’re feeling peckish. ”
“ I ordered nachos for delivery and they were incredible. I got the chicken tinga added on top with guacamole. 1000% recommend ”
“ Had been eyeing this spot since it opened (just before the pandemic) to try the tacos and support a local biz. VERY SATISFIED to get my taco fix at Chichos. Got a good recommendation from helpful staff member to try the fried beef tacos (10 for three) and was well fed with the good portion and REALLY IMPRESSED by the two salsas they offer (green and pineapple habanero), a nice balance of mild and hot n fruity Looking forward to try other menu items but might be hard to not order the same thing again. Yum!! ”
“ Great little hole in the wall place with incredible Mexican food. I got the cheesy beef tacos which get grilled up so the cheese is nice and crispy. What really brought the meal together was the selection of hot sauces that were all out of this world. Super quick and easy to grab a bite there or takeout. ”
“ Love the bowls here! Perfect portion size for a quick meal. Super flavorful, compared to similar spots in this area. ”
“ I love this place. Some of the best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico.Bowls, burritos, nachos, tacos, all good. ”
