La Chilanga Mexican Food — Restaurant in North Las Vegas

As a self-professed connoisseur of all things spicy, savory, and sumptuously satisfying, discovering La Chilanga Mexican Food on Simmons St in North Las Vegas was like hitting the flavor jackpot. This little gem might be modest in size, but it's a titan when it comes to taste.

Walking in, you're greeted by the kind of warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel less like a customer and more like a guest at a family feast. The seating may be limited, but it's all about the close-knit, communal dining experience that true food lovers cherish.

Let's talk about the food, because, oh, the food! The Chilanga torta I had was a masterpiece of meaty, cheesy, eggy excellence - each layer telling its own delicious tale. It's the kind of sandwich that demands your full attention and both hands. My wife Toni opted for the carne asada fries and a trio of street tacos. The fries were a harmonious medley of crisp potatoes, tender carne asada, fresh toppings, and delectable sauces, while the tacos were a textbook example of simplicity done right: just good meat, fresh onions, and cilantro on a soft corn tortilla.

And let's not forget those squeeze bottles of red and green hot sauce - silent heroes adding that perfect hit of heat. As for portions, let's just say you won't leave hungry. La Chilanga understands the assignment when it comes to a satisfying meal.

HONEST REVIEW! We went here for Taco Tuesday on a whim to give the place a chance and see what they had to offer... Wow! Very very good!

We walked in and were quickly greeted, the restaurant was clean and had no foul odors, the gentleman who greeted us showed us their menu and then told us about their Taco Tuesday deal. It is a must try by the way! $1.99 per street taco with meat of your choice!

We ordered tacos of different kinds to get a larger sample size and got the order to go.

The tacos were great! Fresh tortillas and meat, al pastor, carne asada, and birria, yum! We ordered some consume as well and it was an excellent pair with the birria tacos, (most places don't get this part right) overall I was impressed, the limes could have been fresher but everything else was great, including their red sauce (which is another thing most places don't get right), I'll definitely be back for more food! 9/10 La...

The food here was amazing!!

Wet (green) tinga burrito was massive for the price of 13.99. Comparatively speaking, the surrounding mexican local joints just dont compare in size or flavor!! 10/10

The queso birria tacos and consome were also fantastic. They are not filled with only cheese. Many restaurants use the extra cheese to overcompensate for the lack of birria, however this place will not disappoint. The queso birria tacos are 3.99. A bit pricey but worth the money. The consome is 1.99 extra & it is a whole 12oz cup, I ordered mine with no onion or cilantro but it is typically served with it. I usually have to drive to the east side for the quality queso birria tacos, so it sure is nice to have a local place to run to for these. 10/10

The environment was clean and vibrant with all the colors of mexico city! Its a small restaurant with maybe about 6-8 tables but it is so worth ur...
