Today, 15/09/2024, at around 3 PM, I had an incredibly frustrating experience at this shop that left me deeply dissatisfied. I went in to buy 3 burritos, and when I placed my order, the machine did not reflect that the new beef burrito includes onions. I tried to inform the staff about this issue, expecting a simple resolution, but instead, I was met with a level of rudeness and hostility that was completely unacceptable.
This is the first time I’ve felt compelled to leave an online review, and I am appalled by the service I received. The shop was virtually empty, with only three people present: a chef, a lady, and a man who appeared to be in a supervisory role since he was not wearing any uniform. Despite his higher position, this man displayed an astonishingly poor attitude. His behavior was not only dismissive but also shockingly disrespectful.

1 Sentence Summary: Fast yet tasty Tex-Mex finger food.

A nice touch was a comment box is dressed up in a ‘Day of the Dead’ themed altar; not sure if that’s ominous or not.
What’s an ‘Opportunity for Improvement’? As the tubs of options are quite wide-ranging, it maybe would be helpful if their contents were labelled big and bold, if only to help customers choose quicker.
As it stands, first-time customers may be a little overwhelmed with reading the menu, pondering their options and then picking.
Tell me more Chilango appears to be a UK version of Chipotle (think Mexican staples such as salsa, sour cream, refried beans, nachos, burritos, guacamole etc. served school-dinners style).
How many Stars?
3 - It’s never going to be fine dining, and whilst the emphasis is on simple food served fast, it’s quite good in fact.
Anything to disclose? No - paying customer, anonymously visited.
How I Rate: I normally rate 1-4, with 5 reserved for ’Exceptional’, i.e. “deviating from the norm” or “truly worthy of note”.

Being so close to Oxford street I checked online to what’s nearby and thought maybe a hot tortilla on a cold rainy day would push me through to end of day!
Being a indecisive old fool as I am, I was greeted by happy smiles and a selection of different options to which two members of staff who very much ran me through your menu & deals by the names of Hannah & Charlie who were very knowledgeable of the business & I believe had been with the company for some time!
I walked away with a naked bowl & some churros just for good measure & the upsell to increase my waste line, the burrito bowl consisting of Coriander rice, Pork, pimento beans and a mountain of guac’ which very much felt like a hug in a bowl!
I think I’ve found my match, il be swiping right on the new eateries for lunch and taking her churros home to dip for a second time. Now all I have left to do is explain to my cat why my squished cheese sandwich is now at the bottom of my bag and why it’s home, thanks for getting...
