La Chilanguita Mexican Restaurant - Clearlake, California

This has been our “go-to” restaurant for Mexican cuisine since they opened for business! The food is always good… great portions, awesome flavor, and prepared and cooked with pride, authenticity and delicious! The prices are reasonable and the menu selection is plentiful! I believe this is primarily operated by the family, so you’re not getting anything out on your table that is simply microwaved! That being said, be prepared for a little longer wait compared to other “commercialized” or “chain” Mexican restaurant. I promise though, you will be very pleased with your order!

Large portion but lack flavor. My Diablo burrito has more mushy rice than meat & didn’t find Diablo flavor. Pozole was lacking flavor but large quantity.

The service was great. The margaritas weren't as strong as I'm use to. The chili Verde Burrito was absolutely delicious. My sister said her pastor burrito was really good. The chicken on my nephews nachos were rather dry, like they made a big batch and it was sitting under a heat lamp for awhile. The rice and beans were very flavorful. I haven't had rice this good since I was in Mexico. The guacamole was delicious and the Horchata was mmm mmm good lol. I will definitely come back next time I'm up here!

Food is mediocre at best.
Chips were NOT fresh! Stale! Asked another guest about the chip they too said the chips were old!
Told wait person and she told us that was all they had! Like oh well!
Kind of sets precedence for the rest of the place.
Fresh is important.
We ordered chili rellenos. They were ok
Won’t be back 😢

Been here twice. First time I dined in and they had live music going, it was pretty cool. Second time, I picked up. Food was just as amazing and well portioned as dining in.

Great food and friendly staff

Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Somewhat slow service, maybe because they had a lot of takeout orders. My wife ordered two tacos, one with chicken and one with carnitas, she enjoyed them but said she has had better. I ordered a carnitas plate. Usually carnitas is shredded meat, this was large cubes of meat. I had to shred them myself to put them in the tortillas. Too small a serving of guacamole and salsa. The meat was a bit overcooked and too dry. I will say that it was a very generous portion, though. I definitely have had better carnitas. I would have given this 3 stars if the carnitas plate was the only item ordered

This place is well-staffed everytime I've gone, and I keep going back for the tripa!!! Never in my life have I tasted tripa frita so perfectly cooked...the texture is perfectly crisp and meaty and the flavor is good!
I recommend the tacos and gorditas. Their cheese and crema is fresh. Diablo burrito is okay. The salsas are not very spicy. The tlacoyo is tasty...different than what I had in DF (Mexico City), but very delicious and cooked fresh. Service is okay, place is clean and spacious and ambiance is calm and family-friendly.

Hands down worst Mexican food I've ever had. Ordered a chicken quesadilla that came with beef, returned and it was worse than before just fat and grisel with no flavor, like the scraps of the chicken they didn't want to waste?. And tiny floppy disc enchiladas and it was just as bad as the quesadilla. Supposedly they have really good soups but I won't ever go back to find out . Also we sat down for 10 min at a dirty table and nobody came up to us or even offered to clean the table. All the tables were dirty.
