It was such an amazing joint in the cbd
A very cool little restaurant, some very clever decorations that gives you a bit of a Mexican feel, the burrito's are tasty and a generous size.
😱Lizzie’s first impression: my go to place for Mexican during lunch times
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: they have the yummiest fish tacos - the fresh is tasty and fried perfectly. The espanadas are also really tasty as it’s not as heavy as the burrito.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: the burrito is delicious but can come across as dry sometimes as they put a lot of beans in it.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: great feed for a weekday lunch!
Best takeaway Mexican I’ve had! I had a slow cooked beef burrito. The meat was real meat and not just mince, the tortilla was fresh and the fillings were delicious.
Chilangos was an expected delicious find after scoring a free burrito here via eat club.
I had always stuck to Guzman y Gomez or mad max but didnt know about chilangos being a chain
They have got burritos and tacos and a range of interesting drinks including the Mexican horchata.
I had the spiced fish burrito. Large burrito with salsa onion corn black beans sour cream guacamole spicy sauce and delicious fish fingers.
I ate the burrito in two servings due to its massive size and loved every morsel. The rice is well flavoured. The burrito wrap is fresh. And the spicy sauce is not too overpowering.
Definitely a great find

Chilangos was absolutely PUMPIN when The Dear Luncher came across this Tex/Mex eatery on a Friday afternoon. A big line stretching out through most of the store, most tables taken as well. This was the first time visiting Chilangos and for some reason The Dear Luncher always gets nervous when eating at places that prepare the meal in an assembly-line fashion. Henry Ford’s methodology works really well for cars, but this may not always apply with food. A slow-cooked beef burrito bowl was requested and The Dear Luncher watched on as the rice man did the rice, then the meat girl did the meat, and then the toppings person did the toppings etc. The amount of beef heaped onto the rice seemed very small, and The Dear Luncher requested more. This was provided at no extra cost, well done Chilangos. Spicy sauce was added as well.
The slow cooked beef was LOVELY. The sauce had the effect of delivering tingles on the tongue and the whole concoction when mashed up together was quite pleasurable. About on a par with the burrito bowls you might get at a Guzman. The only downside was the sheet of paper at the bottom of the cardboard box the burrito “bowl” was served in. As this paper acquired moisture it started to split up with the food and this is not pleasant. In the end the paper was fished out and discarded. Apart from that – everything was satisfactory folks. Chilangos (Y).
Quick feed on my lunch break and I do love me some Mexican food, got myself the Burrito with Barbacoa (slow cooked Beef), got the works in it of Blackbeans, Salad, tomato, onion, Guac, Sour Cream, cheese and extra hot sauce....
Was a fairly decent feed and I love something with a little spice...... my lips are still burning 🌶🥙
Great food at affordable prices! Chilangos is very close to work and therefore is frequently visited!
I have only had the Burrito (wrap & bowl) along with the corn chips and salsa side.. and they don't disappoint. The Burritos are delicious and filling.. the vegetarian burrito however was not the best... it only had green beans and lacked flavour..
Burrito was very nice and very affordable! However, a bit disappointed in the service. Felt really rushed and the server put sour cream in without asking (which I couldn't eat). Thankfully this was resolved by the lovely smoky chipotle sauce. Would recommend for cheap eat.
This Mexican eatery located in a secret little food court area was excellent. Some of the cheapest prices I've seen for Mexican food. I got the vegetarian burrito and it had actual string beans I was so amazed. Staff were friendly and I think I'll be coming back very soon.
Ordered the Taco set to make your own tacos at home through UberEATS and everything was delicious. The pulled pork was one of the best ones I've tasted in Melbourne and will have me going back for more soon enough.
I just love going to Chilangos for my daily lunch! Apart from it being located a minute away from work; the sheer taste and freshness of the Burrito Bowl keeps bringing me back here. Staff are very friendly and are happy to spare a slice of lime or two to up the tangy factor of the meal.
Chilangos serves generous and convenient Tex Mex meals at very affordable prices. The burritos/ burrito bowls here aren't mindblowingly spectacular, but quality is decent for its price. Appreciate the large pieces of tender chicken meat and that guacamole is complimentary. Will come back for cheap and filling lunch options.
A great spot for workday lunch. They're fast and they offer their burritos with every topping for under $10 unlike every other burrito joint in town where there's an extra charge for everything.
Their meat is tender, juicy and flavourful and the toppings are fresh. Can't ask for much more from a burrito really.

I visited Chilangos with a groupon for dinner around 6.30pm. The place was completely empty & while chatting the guy behind the counter told me the rush hour is in afternoon hence the groupon starts at 3pm. To be fair, they had a lot of outgoing orders while I Was dining. The man serving me was very polite & calmly answered my questions (Yea, I do ask a lot of questions when it comes to food!)
I ordered the below -
Classic Beef burrito - 4.5/5 - Hands down an amazing burrito! The filling was quite flavour full & tasted fresh. They were not stingy with the fillings like some other places that use Groupon. I cut half a point because in the end my tortilla was dry (around the last 3-4 bites). But apart from that it was perfect.
Corn chips with salsa - 5/5 - FRESH! I loved the chips so much I am going back just to have these. They weren't oily at all & very crispy. Included a mix of normal & blue. Salsa was okay, not great but not bad. In fact I ate most of the chips without the salsa!
Fanta - Well let's spare it from the ratings shall we :)
Overall the food was amazing & I would go back again. For this quality I don't mind paying more without the groupon also.
First time visit to Chalingos for the Swine and he left full bellied and satisfied. The Swine loves this particular food presinct as there are many many different options available - Chalingos is the Mexicana food option. Today the Swine chose the classic beef burrito from Chalingos. Staff were helpful for the maiden voyage especially in suggesting appropriate fillings - regardless the Swine pretty much got the lot. Plenty of tables inside and out is a good thing, but lets face it, it's all about the food. Yes it was gooda. Our table of food hogs unanimously agreed that the Chilangos burrito was good - not outstanding but the Swine would go again. Not bad at all.
Came here on a groupon and was delighted! Had the beef burrito bowl and frozen margarita. Threw in the elotes as I don't see it often on menus. One word; yum.
My dining companion got the chicken nachos with an accompanying Lime (as suggested) Jarritos. The blue corn chips were a pleasant surprise and the bounty of food between us plentiful. We even got 2 serves of corn chips and salsa without even asking.
Gentleman serving us was pleasant and prompt and the corn preparer was also pleasant and prompt.
This place is exactly why I use vouchers; love finding a hidden gem. Without it; I would be ignorant to such bliss. This one is on the list. Amazed at the lack of bodies here - although we did come on 5:45pm on a Friday night, but still. Do people not know about this place? They should! It's a great price, fun environment and yummy food. Winner.
I absolutely love this place.
Great meal for lunch, sat on the swing and felt like I wasn't on my work lunch break.
good selection of stuffing to your liking.
My recommendation is to try the burrito bowls !
Ambience = 4/5
Taste = 4/5
Wait time is not too long either
Absolutely love this place! The burrito bowls are delicious and the fillings are fresh. All staff are extremely friendly. Definitely worth a lunch date!
I went here two days in a row last week! They use REAL cheese, don't charge extra for guacamole or jalapeños. There has been a long line but service is quite fast.
Delicious!
What to eat for lunch…we decided to try something new. 🤔 Mexican? Perfect.
Quite happy with our choice. Between us we had tacos, burrito, burrito bowl. All quite tasty.
You can find Chilangos down the lane way off Bourke. Decent amount of seating inside and out.
Note: the hot salsa has some zing to it. Quite tasty though.
Delicious burritos at a reasonable price.
Got the beef burrito and it was tasty. Beef burrito is customisable however you want it. Also managed to get a side of corn chips all for under $20.
It was hard to dip the corn chips into the salsa so I had to mix the guacamole into the salsa. I think it’s worth avoiding this side dish. The chips were good.

Chilangos Mexican Cantina is a takeaway shop during lunch, but converts into a Mexican tapas bar in the evening, with amazing margaritas and delicious food. Think burritos, burrito bowls, nachos, tacos, enchiladas and Mexican salads.
Mexican music, neon lights, craft beers and margaritas make Chilangos the go-to destination for all things Mexican. Sit on the columpios (swinging seats) that overlook Collins Street or sit at the bar and enjoy tequilas, mezcals or craft beers.
There is also a great selection of wines and non-alcoholic Mexican sodas.
Got a enchilada takeaway and it was massive. It was loaded with fillings and the flavours were quite great. The enchilada delivered quite well without going soggy. Special mention for the guac and salsa, chunky and delish.
Love this place for simple, affordable, tasty Mexican 😋. I’ve tried everything on the menu but now I pretty much always grab the Burrito Bowl. If I’m feeling lux their Elotes (Corn) is also a really nice addition. Not sure what they put on top of it but it’s super tasty.
Delicious Burrito, quick and friendly service. Will repeat the experience next time I'm in the vicinity.
