Chilangos Mexican Grill
About This Spot
Stepping into Chilangos Mexican Grill in Plantation feels like discovering a vibrant neighborhood gathering spot where the heart of Mexico pulses warmly through its flavors and friendly energy. The air carries a faint, inviting aroma of grilled meats and fresh salsas, setting a relaxed but lively pace that welcomes both regulars and newcomers alike.
This casual local eatery finds its charm in the authentic, unpretentious way it brings a taste of home-style Mexican cooking to life. Diners settle into a clean, comfortable space where conversations flow easily, and the rhythm of bustling service blends with the satisfying clatter of plates and shared laughter.
At Chilangos, the experience unfolds bite by bite — from the crisp snap of fresh tortilla chips dipped generously in salsa, to the rich savor of slow-cooked meats wrapped in warm tortillas. The vibrant tang of salsa verde and the gentle sweetness of churros bookend meals that feel both rooted in tradition and lovingly crafted for this community. Whether it’s the spirited buzz of Taco Tuesday or a quiet weekday afternoon, there’s a welcoming simplicity here that encourages lingering over a well-made margarita or a refreshing horchata.
Beyond the food, the warmth of the staff creates a sense of belonging, making each visit feel like a shared moment rather than just a meal. Though the space fills quickly, especially during popular times, those who come seeking honest flavors and genuine hospitality walk away with more than a satisfied appetite — they leave with a little slice of Mexico’s vibrant spirit tucked into their day.

The birria and brisket tacos are simply amazing! I could not recommend them more. Chilangos is the number one Mexican restaurant in Florida and trust me, I have tried many of them have and have been disappointed. This is authentic Mexican at a price you can’t beat!

i love their taco tuesday deal (40% Tacos) i always get chicken quesobirra (chicken instead of beef) every time and every time its so delish. i’d recommend ordering in the afternoon because they get busy + longer wait times at night, but it’s worth it!

Fast and friendly service! The tacos were authentic and on point and came with free chips and salsa! The prices were unbeatable, especially for Taco Tuesdays! Will definitely be coming back!

Best Mexican food I've had in Florida, if your staying in Fort Lauderdale this place is worth the drive they are badass and authentic! A true hidden gem! Parking in front is limited but lots of spots in the back, and you just walk around to them. Will definitely be back if I'm ever around again.

I have a tendency to judge Mexican Restaurants by the quality of their tomillio salsa. Chilangos has some of the best I have ever had. The al pastor tacos were excellent. I did have to use google translate to help me order so I knew in advance the food would be excellent.

If I could give this restaurant 6 stars I would. A great restaurant with excellent service. Make this a must stop if you’re in for some Mexican food

I only discovered this place 2 weeks ago and I have gotten there food 6 times. Finding great Mexican food in South Florida is not easy and locating an authentic one is near impossible but there are a few. Chilangos is The needle in the haystack among all the Mexican restaurants I have tried. Everytime the food is fresh and super authentic. The pozole esquites and tacos de cabeza are my go-to. Their auga frescas are amazing. The lady's there are very hospitable. Five stars isn't enough
