Authentic Mexico City-inspired spot with housemade tortillas
"Wherever you are in Ridgewood, you’ll always be within a few blocks of a very decent Mexican restaurant. If it’s specifically quesadillas you’re after—and it should be—head to Las Chilangas. The thick housemade corn tortillas here make all the difference. Try the quesadilla stuffed with stretchy cheese and a few different slow-cooked cuts of pork. It’s one of the best bites you’ll find in the neighborhood. We’re also fans of the chorizo tacos, and the guajillo-soaked pambazo is great for when you’re extra hungry." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman

"In the quesadilla landscape of New York City, Las Chilangas is a very heavy hitter. The Mexico City-inspired spot in Ridgewood does a few different versions—all served on thick, crispy housemade corn tortillas—but the one you should start with is the puerca. A pretext for consuming an excess of pork, it’s filled with maciza and cueritos, with a bit of oreja for crunchy texture. Other standouts include the enchiladas verdes and crispy cecina—but you can skip the pozole (a little too watery). Bring the whole family, and eat a casual meal in the bright yellow room lined with shelves of potted plants. photo credit: Bryan Kim" - Bryan Kim
"Ridgewood has long been a neighborhood of taquerias. A few blocks away from the Seneca M station, the menu at Las Chilangas (from Mexico City) is long and rich with choices, including freshly prepared versions of all the basics. There are at least six different birria dishes, and the mole is also fabulous, rich and only slightly sweet." - Andrew Karpan
"A neighborhood restaurant opened by local siblings just before the pandemic that serves the type of food a nearby resident appreciates, but whose owners worry that such new openings will drive up rents and contribute to displacement in the community." - Chris Crowley
