Chilacates Chesnut Hill - CHESTNUT HILL

Birthday dinner was delishes. I had the lamb with wild pilaf and neighboring is the cod. A few perfect sized dessert shots. Service was great from host to server.

Consistently excellent and fresh. Have loved this place for years! You can’t go wrong with any menu item we have tried almost everything over the years. Their breakfast burrito is one of my favorite foods ever.

Overall really good Mexican restaurant. I think people do a lot of takeout here. Interior is super cute and cleanly. The menu had a ton of options including tacos, burritos, salads, bowls, and even enchiladas. They also had a few specials which were Burria tacos and churros. Another thing to note is they do have a kids menu if you are coming with your family. The one thing I will say is it is extremely expensive. Two tacos were 16$. They did have a lot of toppings though.

Everything was fine, if not bland. The proportions in the burritos were terrible, very little pico, carne asada (despite the upcharge), or guac (again, despite the upcharge). The lengua was tender and well cleaned, but was barely seasoned and could've used a little sear or something. If it were relatively inexpensive, I wouldn't care, but a $15 burrito shouldn't be 70% rice.There's a dearth of good Mexican food in the area, but it's worth driving to places like Taqueria El Amigo to get the good stuff. Even Los Amigos right in Newton is light-years better, and less expensive.

Torta way skimped on the filling.. was like bread with some beans on it and a smidgen of Al pastor. Go to Tenoch instead. Pass
