  This review is LONG overdue. About 2 years ago, on the last day of a 4-day family gathering to celebrate Grandpa after his passing, we decided to find a place for one last meal before we went our separate ways. We decided on Mexican and by chance ended up at the front door of Chilangos. Finding it closed, we were discussing where to go next when a friendly man and his wife walked up behind us and gave us a hearty hello. As it turns out, we were talking to Leo, the owner, who was just arriving to begin his day. He invited us in, offered to fire up the kitchen early to prepare a memorable meal for us before we hit the road. We were blown away by his offer and readily accepted. Leo made us feel like we were members of his own family.
  
  He seated us on the outside patio and told us about his time in Mexico City and his passion for cooking as he delighted our taste buds one amazing dish at a time. Thinking back on the meal, my favorite was the pork wings. We also had 1 vegetarian and 1 person who is allergic to wheat in our party and they both loved their food. In fact, the vegetarian raved about how good her food was all the way back to the car.
  
  When Leo mentioned that there were over 250 tequilas behind the bar, I couldn’t resist ordering a margarita. I consider myself to be a bit of a margarita aficionado but Leo brought me the very best cucumber margarita I have ever had…in my life, no joke.
  
  Every aspect of this dining experience was completely memorable in the good kind of memorable way. In the last few years it has come up in conversation many times. I haven’t been back because it’s a 4 hour drive from home but it’s become a running joke when my wife asks me where I want to go for dinner that my answer will regularly be “Chilangos!”. Do not miss this place. Leo is awesome, the food is fantastic, the margaritas are amazing and the hospitality simply can’t be beat.

  Start with a cucumber margarita.. And then anything else.. Pork wings, fish tacos, and chill rellenos are favorites. And fresh cactus. Always check the specials out, Leo does a lot of amazing, unique dishes. And to round out the spectacular food, no one has a better selection of Tequila... One can spend hours with just tequila and their chips and salsa... You can't go through Highlands without stopping..
