Creative Mex-Tex dishes, cocktails, and lakeside dining
"Set to quickly reboot the former Chilango space, this concept promises an approachable menu with items like Kung Pao cauliflower and grilled cheese bites." - Jeffy Mai
"Chilango, the newest restaurant from James Beard-nominated chef Jorge Guzmán, is dishing up Mexican fare near the shores of Bde Maka Ska. Chilango has a more casual, fast-and-fun vibe than Guzmán’s first restaurant, Petite León — there are smoked brisket and baja fish tacos on the menu; chile con queso and crispy papas machas — while Guzmán applies a deft hand to entrees like charred sweet potato enchiladas and camarones al diablo over a creamy masa panisse. Grab a Oaxacan Old Fashioned at the bar." - Eater Staff
"Swing by Chilango, the new lakeside “Mex-Tex” restaurant from chef Jorge Guzmán, for a mango-serrano margarita; a Oaxacan Old Fashioned with piloncillo; or a classic, tart paloma. Highlights on the food menu include camarones al diablo served with a creamy masa panisse and cochinita pibil." - Eater Staff
"James Beard–nominated chef Jorge Guzmán is opening Chilango at Calhoun Beach Club with a Mex-Tex focus that leans into Mexican dishes while leaving room for Texan flair; he's previewing a taco omakase pop-up featuring suadero, papadulze, cochinita, and corn-waffle tacos, and the drinks program will include tequila, slushy frozen drinks, imported Mexican beers, and cocktails." - Justine Jones
"Opening in the Calhoun Beach Club, Chilango — from Jorge Guzmán of Petite León — will focus on a Mex-Tex approach that leans into Mexican dishes while leaving room to pivot to Texan flair (smoking ribs or doing brisket nachos), and I’m told the bar program will feature tequila, slushy frozen drinks, imported Mexican beers, and various cocktails for lakeside dining." - Justine Jones
