Chilango’s Burrito Bar

Out-​of-​Towners, this place is straight fire! I stopped in to check it out as there was no nearby Chipotle, my stand by for quick, quality «Faux Mex.» I’m elated there was no Chipotle nearby, because the food here is slightly more authentic, and absolutely more flavorful.
The food was very fresh and flavorful. I had the chicken bowl, and I loved the Spanish Rice. I recommend the pico and habanero salsas. Also, the lettuce and corn add great texture.
Skip the nearby Qdoba, support the local guys, and check this place out!!!

Love this place! 7.50 for a steak burrito and its huge. Quick and easy to order, you can eat in or take it out. Great chips & salsa also and the kids love the steak tacos.

The food is phenomenal, but there’s one thing about this place I really wish they would work on, and that is the tortilla. If you go there, there is a 50% change it will rip badly. Usually their response is «I’m going to put it in a bowl». What the heck? I didn’t ask for a burrito bowl, I asked for a burrito. Their policy should be to make it again if this happens.
I’m not sure what goes into this happening, but I would guess it’s the thickness of the tortilla varying wildly. I think they ought to make the shells with a little more dough.
Anyways, I really love this place and will go back, but playing burrito roulette does get a little old. Please, please, please fix this.

I’ve been to this establishment twice. The first time, I had a phenomenal experience. The food was great, the service was excellent. The second time I went (a day later) was the worst burrito experience of my life. The girls working seemed to have no idea how to make a tortilla, and when they managed to make one, they ripped it trying to fold it. Instead of offering to remake it, she said, «I’m just going to put it in a to-​go container, ok?» Trying not to annoy her, I agreed. When I brought it home, it was soggy and gross. I haven’t been back since, but I’m hoping to go back and have an experience like my first and not my last.

The Hulk burrito was the best I’ve had in Michigan.

The burritos and tacos are made fresh when you order. It is well worth the little bit of time for fresh. All fresh ingredients. Love the location it is well decorated and clean. Tasty food.

Hands down the best burrito I’ve ever had in my life. And I’ve had my share of burritos from California. And yes they beat King Taco in my book.
The tortillas for their burritos are made fresh for you. And the steak Carne Asada is the best!
My dad enjoys their Chile Verde.
My favorite burrito is mixing the Carne Asada and the chorizo with papas and then adding all the condiments you want. All their condiments are always fresh.
The service is great too.
I come here weekly so of course I have nothing bad to say. Keep up the great work!

Couldn’t afford my trip to Cabo San Lucas this year — so this was the next best thing! My husband and I enjoyed our freshly made chicken burrito bowls, and very friendly and fast service.
Simply delicious! Love the folk art, bright yellow walls, and latin music.
Chilango’s is the perfect cure for the Winter blues!
Definitely will go back!

Really good burritos. They are very fresh, and well priced. The restaurant itself is kinda sketchy and smells weird but definitely worth it. Some of the best burritos I’ve had. Better than Chipotle and Qdoba.

First impression is that this places looks like it will be good. Second impression is neat, they press their own tortillas. Third impression is wow, this place is great.
I had The Hulk burrito and added guacamole. The Chili Verde was great, very tender and flavorful. The habanero sauce was really spicy without being flamethrower hot. The cilantro and rice rounded this out nicely providing nice subtle flavor.
This is the best burrito from a place like this I have ever had, better than my favorite place in Washington or New Hampshire. The food is absolutely fresh and delicious.

I had a burrito bowl with the pork chile verde, queso cheese, veggies, and guacamole. It was very good, and enough for a filling lunch and leftovers for a snack later. It I lived in Jackson, I’d be a regular here.
Pros: The flavors overall were far better than Chipotle or Qdoba. The pork chile verde was moderately spicy, and the queso was very tasty.
Cons: The guacamole — it was far too pureed and had a strange taste. The dining area is a bit small, so arrive early if you’d like a seat.

These are the freshest, most delicious burritos you will ever eat. Even the shells are fresh and pressed right in front of you! One of my favorite places in Jackson. My usual burrito: steak, queso-​sauce, cilantro, roja salsa, cheese, and tortilla strips.

We were making a trip to Menard’s and stopped in downtown Jackson to check out this Burrito Bar. This place is like a Mexican Subway sandwich shop– start with your tortilla and build from there. Tortillas are made to order– flattened from a ball of dough before your eyes, then grilled to a slight char, but still pliable thanks to the 400-​degree tortilla press. My wife and I both went with the Tingu Chicken– a mildly spicy shredded chicken– and customized it from there with a variety of ingredients including lettuce, tomato, onions, beans, rice, cheese sauce, jalapeño, sour cream, pico, guac, salsa and dressing. It was delicious!
This business is on the corner of a block that includes Spring Arbor’s Jackson campus, but at around $ 10 per person, it’s a little pricey for students. I can see customizing an overstuffed burrito that becomes two meals, though. Salsa and chips were $ 2.75 and were nothing special, considering that Mexican restaurants usually offer this appetizer for free and use higher quality salsa. The chips were very crispy and flavorful, though. I’d skip them and just load the burrito up a little bit more.
