Chilangos 272 Bay Avenue, Highlands, NJ 07732

"Delicious authentic Mexican food and drinks - a staple in Highlands and the surrounding area. The owner is super friendly and is always accommodating to our family. One of the few authentic Mexican restaurants in the area that serves alcohol. The fajitas and margaritas are some of the best around!"

"We are locals and have eaten at Chilangos before. However, recently we had an exceptional experience! When we walked in to arrange catering for our engagement party, Eric, the owner's son, welcomed us warmly. We spent a Saturday morning with Eric, discussing the catering menu and customization options. Chilangos is all about cooking for you and with love, and they certainly delivered. The tacos were a solid 10/10 at our engagement party, where we had over 60-70 guests who were asking where the food is from. A huge thank you to Chilangos and Eric for making our celebration unforgettable!"

"Very cousy relaxed and decent Mexican Restaurants and bars, I really liked it, food, service and ambiance great, nice menu, the barmaid Veggy is great. Highly recommended"

"Hands down the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. The service was okay and the food came out fast. Overpriced and under seasoned. I spent money to sit down for a meal only to have to leave to buy fast food. Please save your money"

"The stars are for the drinks and the decor at the bar. I had heard great things about this place and so did my friends. We went to celebrate a birthday. We had a party of 4. The food and service were not good. I understand being short staffed but there was no mention of anything for over 30 min while we noticed people who sat after we did got their food. I had to go ask the bartender for our appetizer finally. She was very nice. The empanadas were the best thing we got besides drinks. They came with lettuce and pico all over them which is not needed. The blue curaçao margarita is delicious and absolutely the best thing I had. Shots of patron helped too! Our waitress did not show empathy or understanding when we placed an order or when it was late. The other waitress/ bartender had to help her and she was very nice despite the fact our table was not hers. The flautas were dry and hard to chew. I ordered pork and pineapple tacos thinking it would be like carnitas or Al pastor. It was not. There were dark, dry over-spiced pork pieces. There was an additional spice on them that turned me off but I could not figure out what it was. Also they were too spicy hot so they burned by mouth. I asked to return them and I was given an argument at first and then the other waitress returned them. Also the beef tacos came covered in raw onions. I had asked for no raw onions on the pork because the menu stated they had them. The menu does not mention raw onions on the beef tacos so I didn’t ask to have them removed. I could not eat those either. Disappointed. I am not sure I would go back. Unless it just for a drink."
