I used to adore their salads and getting a takeaway braised pork salad with guacamole was a lunchtime treat 2 or 3 times a week, until today.

They have reduced the size of the salad container, so now a small salad with a thimble full of guacamole costs £6.70.

I don't know how they can justify it, you could eat out and get a decent sized meal for that.

The service varies immensely, as do the portion sizes on the burritos, and seems to be getting slower.

Hey Julia, my name is Shannon and I work at Chilango.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I am happy to let you know that we have reverted back to using the original boxes and the portions should be the same size as always.

It would be great if you could email me so I can make sure your next visit is nothing but Awesome!

Delicious mexican burritos I loved the chicken and seafood options yummy.

The food here is put together in front of you and it all tastes delicious. The atmosphere is great, its a casual dining experience.

It serves a variety of alcoholic drinks and its easy on the wallet too. Chilango was well worth it!

I love this place!!!

My girlfriend and I try and visit this Mexican wonder whenever we're in Angel, I'm a fiend for a Burrito and Chilango's doesn't dissapoint....

The food is great and the choices of different fillings for burritos, tacos etc are extensive and tasty....

The staff are so helpful and friendly and I've never seen such a lot of smiling!!!!

Great value and great on the move....

What a rip off!My friends ordered a vegetarian burrito for £4.80 all fillings were included in price.

I ordered a chicken burrito £5.60. The assistant slopped on far too much soured cream before I had a chance to say I didn't want it.

Then I was told if I wanted avocado it was another 80p! This is one of the main ingredients of burritos.

Why should I have to pay extra to get this? When I as asked they said the avocados were imported from Mexico!!!

I was in a production line and felt I would be holding up the queue if i continued to complain so I refused the avocado and didn't actually feel that I had got what I wanted.

I could've gone the market and got an avocado and taken the rest home with me!We're in a world recession. Get real!!

Never again.

Went there Saturday night for burritos and margaritas - perfect start for an evening of clubbing! Great food and atmosphere.

I love the new Chilango - great food and a great vibe. I recently moved back from near the Mission in San Francisco - the home of burritos - and these bad boys are just as good if not better!

I Honestly believe that these positive reviews have been writen by Chilangos themselves! Don't whatever you do believe them.

I'm from California so I know a good Burrito... and this isnt one. Mucho Mas was great, (as is Tortilla down the road) but this place was a huge let down.

Small portions, over priced, AND unfriendly staff. Just not a good Mexican place at all, by any stretch of the imagination!!

If you want a Burrito, please do yourself a favor and go to the place down the road (don't want to adverise them too much).

It's not so much that Chilango is dreadful (though it is bad) but it's SO much worse than Mucho Mas, and significantly worse than it's competition in Islington too.

Chilango is just Mucho Mas with a facelift, I was there on the opening day and chatted to the owner while queuing for my free burrito.

In my opinion yours is the one that sounds like the insider review - for the opposition!
