Inviting, flavoursome, spicy, filling without being heavy - that’s the appeal of Mexican cuisine, and the reason for the enduring popularity of Chilangos Mexican Cantina. Chilangos serves an authentically Mexican menu of tacos, soft corn tortilla burritos, burrito bowls, and nachos. Everything in the restaurant, down to the corn chips, is made in house by chef Jose, from Mexico City. His specialities include chicken with chipotle, barbacoa (slowed cooked beef) and cochinita pibil, a delicious Mexican-style pulled pork. Frozen margharitas and Mexican beers wash it down. Chilangos Mexican Cantina’s appeal is broad - you’ll find Village office workers rubbing shoulders with tourists, students and local residents. It’s not just the food that draws them in - the décor, from the swing seat, to Mexican crafts and a portrait of Frida Kahlo, is just as inviting as the food. And for those who love a challenge, Chilangos Mexican Cantina hosts an annual hottest burrito competition - definitely not for the faint-hearted!
