Found another good spot for our Mexican food. PROS-fresh ingredients, tender steak, Carnitas and chicken.-LOVE that he made us fresh made taco shells and chips!!!!! -clean and friendly service-Good portion sizes and good taste in food-Great location-Love their chips and guacamole. The guacamole is super fresh tasting and exactly the way I like it. Just avocados and nothing else dumped in there to make it mushy. -really good green Verde salsa-Love the Spanish rice here. Super fluffy fresh

This place does not seem like much when you walk in but do they have some damn good nachos!I've been on a Mexican food binge lately and I realized I had not conquered Antojeria yet. As it was a few blocks away from work on 17th st., I speed walked over into the small establishment. It looked more like a to-go spot with some counter seating by the window. Worked for me since I was by myself and just needed a quick yummy lunch.The lady at the cashier was lukewarm at best but squared away my order of super nachos (includes beans, rice, cheese, guac and sour cream) with carne asada. It was ready under 5 minutes and was given in a plastic circular to-go container. I saw that the chips were fresh and crispy, all of the fixins' were bombtastic - carne asada was flavorful, black beans, rice and homemade cheese sauce and shredded cheese were delicious, guac was fresh. There is a self-salsa bar and I topped it off with some pico and salsa verde.I couldn't stop eating in the first 10 minutes but had to eventually because I had a meeting that started soon. Get the nachos!!

3.5 stars (really wish Yelp would introduce a half-star system). Due to COVID, their normally robust meat selection is currently pretty limited as they're only offering a few different meats, which was disappointing because I really wanted to try their chile verde. I instead went with the pollo and my fiance got the asada; we both went with super burritos, which have rice, beans, meat, cheese, onions, cilantro, sour cream, and guacamole. They also come with a side of chips and a can of soda.This burrito is absolutely huge. For $8.75 this is a bargain. Unless you're starving or have a greater appetite than most, this is definitely two meals in one. I preferred the asada to the pollo; the asada had a nice meaty, grilled flavor, but the pollo was a bit bland, despite being marinated chicken. That was kind of disappointing to me. But overall the flavors worked well together, the rice wasn't at all mushy like some previous reviews have suggested, and the salsas my fiance brought home were tasty. We had a green (looked/tasted like perhaps tomatillo), a red (dark, seemed chipotle-based), and pico de gallo. The tomatillo was the best in my opinion.Pretty good burritos overall. Not mind blowing, but I still can't get over the size, which is just awesome in its generosity. Definitely the traditional super burrito size I remember growing up eating at taquerias. Good deal, fast service for a weekday lunch (which will also likely be your dinner).

I'll start by saying Mexican food is probably the most elite cuisine our world has ever seen, which puts an undue burden on every little truck and storefront to really bring the fire. El Chilar didn't quite take me where I wanted to go, but by no means did it suck. Mexican food cannot ever suck (similar to pizza) only vaguely disappoint. We ordered the Baby Burrito (beans, rice, cheese) and the Super Nachos with carne asada. The Baby Burrito was $8 and was actually gigantic; much of it rice. But my daughter ate the entire thing in one sitting, so, success. The Super Nachos was $12, and bizarrely also contained a lot of rice. The asada was good but somewhat sparse, and instead of real cheese, there was a sort of thin cheese sauce. When I saw it being poured on, I knew I did not have a life changing box of nachos in my direct future. The chips, the building blocks of a good nacho, were the uncomfortably wettish kind that explodes a little grease with each bite, so you start to feel worse and worse about yourself as you go. All in all, not my fave experience, but if I'm ever craving a gigantic bean burrito (it happens) this is the move.

This burrito was disgusting. I am nauseated right now after eating a burrito from this place. Everyone in this place was rude from the moment I placed my order. The lady making the burrito had a serious attitude problem but the worst is the rice was all gummy! Anyone that owns a restaurant and can't make rice should most certainly go into another line of work.Also when I started eating my food I noticed how in sanitary this place was and as the lady was making someone else's order she kept scratching her head.

We ordered an al pastor super burrito, but the cheese wasn't even melted :( the tortilla chips were absurdly salty, but the pico de gallo wasn't too bad (a bit spicy).

Large burritos. Excellent chips and three tasty salsa options. Fast and friendly service. I appreciate the free beverage when you spend $10+.

Dishonest business that overcharged me! Yes, my credit card statement does not match my receipt.I decided to give this place a try and ordered the steak super burrito and it was terrible! The steak had all these disgusting organ smells to it and the overall burrito tasted mushy and old. Cashier by the name of Briana had AirPods on, has a some serious attitude when I said hi to her with a smile on my face. Explains why there was no one else in line during lunchtime on a weekday.

I advise everyone not to eat here. Should of know something was off when it looked like someone took a dump on the burrito. Looks like prepackaged salad mix mixed with very bad meat. The smell it self should have convinced me not to take a bite. Its supposed to be a burrito majado. They sent me beef salad wrapped in a really bad tortilla.
