El Chilito

Omg & Wow, this Mexican Restaurant is fabulously fabulous. The decorations and atmosphere is elegant. I'm glad to see a high class restaurant running successful. The greeter and waiters super attentive and classy I must say. Today celebrate my birthday and boy I can truly say my husband picks a gorgeous place. Sending the restaurant, blessing and continue the great success in bring elegance in our culture. Boy the food delicious

I've been anticipating the opening of this restaurant for some time since I pass it all the time and saw the outside signage come up. We came for Friday night dinner and were unfortunately disappointed with the food. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive that set the tone for a potential great dinning experience. This was our first time here and our server went over the menu, which added another layer of enjoyment to our evening. This night the restaurant had live music and the singer serenade my wife since it was her birthday and so did the staff. Now let's talk about the heart and soul of El Chlito, the food. The menu boasts an array of authentic Mexican cuisine that fell short of our expectations. Unfortunately my wife's dish was rancid and unpalatable but my dish was delicious and mouthwatering. We decide not to complain since we were enjoying our drinks snd live music. So this was definitely a hit and miss dinning experience when it came to this food. However the restaurant was festive and décor esthetically pleasant. We so wanted all the components of the restraint to shine but unfortunately the food fell short of our expectations!

I wanted to love this restaurant. The food was pretty awful. The freshness was questionable. I literally had to spit out my food. I couldn't put my finger on it. I ordered the costa azula and not sure if it was the bacon or shrimp but it had a foul taste to it. The fries were not good also. The dip for the shrimp had too much mayonnaise. The service was fine, although I'm not drinking alcohol right now, they forced a shot of tequila and it wasn't good tequila at that. Went down like a fireball. The ambiance and entertainment were the saving factor to the experience in their effort. The singer was amateur and good intended but just not good. A bit tacky. We will not return sadly.

Food: 6/10Service: 7/10Ambiance: 7/10 Went here for the micheladas but was a little disappointed. The food lacked flavor, and definitely on the higher price point. Churros were cold, and not worth the presentation. Maybe an off night for the staff? The highlight was the show and the DJ.

So I and my brother came here because at another restaurant I'll name it later you had to reserve for the weekend only so we spotted this area and we walked in.We did get greeted upon walking in the door and we did get service right away.We ordered two drinks and we ordered our food.Our waitress was very kind and definitely checked on us.. even though We were the only people in the restaurant it just showed that we didn't get passed up because she could have ignored us. She could have went about doing other things to get prepared for the rest of the day.Amelia gracias. She actually went down a list of things that we can come back to as first-timers.

Good service good food good vibes good music good dance floor attentive good size would come back to party and drink again @noel was our server great service

El Chilito was originally a different restaurant with a different name. However, they definitely changed everything from the menu to the scenery. The restaurant itself is very nice. They have a big bar and multiple televisions. This restaurant is definitely family friendly. Kids are welcomed and they have a good selection of food. All the servers are very welcoming and friendly. Our server in particular was very attentive and helpful.Their menu was great. They mainly serve Mariscos but they do have other dishes that are more traditional. I got the Mojarra Frita which is served with rice and beans. I went with the French fries and rice instead. My mojarra was delicious and cooked to perfection. My father in law got the cevichelada which was delicious. My husband got a botana and my mother in law the Camarones Al mojo de ajo. Everything was exquisite and made freshly. The only dish that we thought was a bit on the cold side was the Mojo de Aho but other than that everything was great. We enjoyed ourselves so much we stood for the karaoke and even sang a big too. This restaurant is perfect for any occasion and they have a dance floor on Saturday nights. Show them some love if you're in the Pico Rivera area.

The food was OK not what I expected but we we're hungry so It too away our hunger the Taco gobernador, weren't very good I guess I was looking for them to taste something m my like Culichi townOr but but they weren't for tasting the ceviche was OK not as fresh as I expected. It was nice try it out on you seafood restaurant, but I will stick to the restaurant where I get a real good portion of food whole fried fish with beans and rice and a salad for almost half the price of what I paid there. It is pretty pricey for the value of the food.

Food is delicious and the drinks are ven better. The atmosphere is comfy and fun. Definitely recommend!

I have been to this spot a few times hoping for a different outcome each time. The ambiance is great 10/10. The food was great 8/10. However the service was very slow and poor. The server Eric was not attentive to our table. The restaurant has only 2 servers working on the busiest days. They offer $15 unlimited mimosas, however they do not top you off for unlimited. I counted and had a total of 3 drinks. I had brought my family to show them a great time however they left disappointed as did I. We will not be returning to this location, unfortunately.
