    Wonderful friendly service - they actually re-wrapped my daughter's burrito in a new tortilla when she couldn't finish it and added some extra filling so she could take it home - so generous!

    I wanted to avoid rice so tried the Prawn Salad bowl - fearful it would not fill me up but it did and even more than that, it was all incredibly tasty. Prawns were plentiful, big and tasty.

    Great quality burritos here for £6, very tasty & filling. Friendly staff, great decoration of old record covers and posters .. but even better enjoying it upstairs for a bit of calm in a busy area.

    Fantastic atmosphere and really the best burritos and tacos in London. Guacamole is only 1 pound extra and you get a lot!

    Yet another Mexican take away in Angel. It's the one I always pick over the others (and I've tried all the others). The spicy salsa has a great kick to it

    I'm Mexican and I must say that pork burrito with guacamole is delicious! Have it with a Negra Modelo beer.

    Burrito with chicken and pork was amazing! Lots of flavors, and they do crushed corn crisps on it! Amazing food and great service!

    Great place to get a filling salad. I'm partial towards the tacos they do, it's a change from a lot of the places in the area which do only burritos.

    Nitrite best in London, but good. Tortilla down the road is cheaper, but has tough steak so stear clear. Best ones I've had are steak on exmouth Market. Pork and chicken are equal all over islington.

    Great burritos! All good - pork surprisingly good. Get the extra spicy sauce and some crazy purple drank that has free refills!

    Normally come for the burritos, which are excellent, but had the nachos with black beans today and they were incredibly flavoursome.

    Go for the steak. And get a salad (naked burrito). Is great and not as heavy for lunch.

    It's true; this is the best burrito in London. The new pulled pork is excellent or if you're feeling extra indulgent, the pork belly rules supreme.

    Ask for the prawns. You’ll probably have to wait whilst they’re cooked to order, but it’s worth it.

    It is quick but pretty mediocre. All of my vegetables were limp and slimy. Too much rice. They were out of some ingredients and apparently not replenishing them. Unlikely I’d go back.

    Pork belly burrito and chicken burrito. Either one are just as good! Way better than chipotle!

    Burritos are metal and you can't get a better burrito in London than at Chilango. Get one before you go see some metal at Islington Academy. Read more

    The burritos are fair; but way overpriced. Despite the tips these aren't the best Burritos in London by a long-shot.

    Ask for the el-heffe (secret menu) 2 burritos wrapped up in one with lots of habenero sauce!! Mine weighed nearly a kilo!

    Buy a bottle of the @Chilango_UK Habanero Chilli sauce. At £3.50 its dynamite!
