"A Oaxacan sit-down restaurant with a brisk to-go business on the site, this Central Avenue Mexican spot sells verde or mole tamales in the morning along with omelets and chilaquiles, followed by lunch and dinner options too. Consider nachos, carne asada tlayudas, gorditas, and flautas to share. — Melissa McCart" - Robert Sietsema, Melissa McCart

Great food and reasonably priced. We have been going there for years. So why a 1 star review, they are absolutely horrible when it comes to ordering food through GrubHub. 1- they almost always forget one item (usually a smaller item) when you place a medium sized order so we’ve taken to ordering a side of fires or something in the hope that’s what they forget. 2-they send the wrong food way too often to be a fluke. We have ordered from there for a number of years and I’m finally writing this review, so it’s a pattern. Order steak and you might get chicken kinda stuff like tonight. Not the first time and probably won’t be the last time. Again, we love this place and enjoy going there but when it comes to delivery, it’s a roll of the dice whether you’re gonna get your order. We will still order from there because, as I have said, it’s really good food.

Up charge of 20% at Los tres chilitos on Central Ave. charge me a serives fee, tax fee and card fee. Waitress came back with a total $84… when I asked the man in the front about the change from the first check, he told me that it is a card fee. I told him— Your waitress need to be truthful! I am not coming back here again. I understand inflation!!! How are you going to charge me a service fee with 3 adults& 2 kids which equal 20% fee. They didnt give me the option if I want to even freely chose to tip—-at all!!!! When you are already charging me a service fee!!!!!! I wonder how many other ppl that don’t review their receipts!!! What they get charge!!!!!! I would have left her $20 cash tip!!!!

This is one of my favorite place to eat in the Heights. Their tacos are some of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. When you dine in you can expect free chips and salsa! The meat is tender and flavorful. Always consistent every time I have the chance to go. Street parking only. Best chance to find a spot is probably off Central at least during the day.

My husband always requests a Mexican feast for his birthday and Los Tres Chilitos delivered (literally and figuratively). We ordered on a Wednesday at a weird time, for a late lunch/early dinner at around 4. We had leftovers and then some, although the leftovers were definitely not great the next day, so I wouldn't recommend over ordering like we did. Here is everything we ate: Milanesa Pollo Torta - honestly, this one is a classic. You can't go wrong with a torta, especially one with breaded chicken Pancita (tripe soup served with a side of rice and tortillas) - I've never had Mexican tripe soup before so I was intrigued, and also was in the mood for soup. This was a little too rich for my taste. Squeezing some lime into it helped a bit though Combo #6 (grilled skirt steak with avocado salad, cactus, baby onions, and a flauta) - the steak looks like it has the potential to be dry and chewy but luckily, it was the complete opposite. They also give a good portion size for $20 Mole Tamale (shredded chicken breast in mole sauce) - this was not bad. I think it may have been one of only a handful of times I've eaten a tamale. Not something I'd usually order Pastor Tlayudas (large crispy tortilla, topped with your meat of choice, refried beans, lettuce, avocado, pico, and cheese) - I have never had one of these before nor have I even heard of it when I saw it on the menu. Thank you LTC for bringing this into our lives. This was the star of the show. It was also a lot bigger than we expected. It's pretty much the size of a large pizza and is loaded with toppings. Would definitely order this again but this is one of those things you need to finish because it doesn't taste the best the next day. I would probably get something other than al pastor though, because it was a bit dry. Definitely want to check this place out in person next time - especially since burritos are not available on any of the delivery apps for some reason.

Great atmosphere dine in. Burrito was a amazing and worth the price of $12. Free chips and salsa was good too! Clean restrooms. Green salsa was amazing with the burrito! Parking may be hard to find. I was lucky and found a parking next to the restaurant for free as it was Saturday after 6PM (before 6PM, it is metered parking).

Cute little spot. Menus is a bit overwhelming but only because this place has so many options to choose from. We started with chips and salsa. The chips were good but the salsa was watered down and was a bit too ketchup flavored for our liking. We ordered the enchiladas suza, tacos (2 alabrams 2 Al pastor), and rice and beans. The food was more flavorful than they look. Good not great.
