i used to live in san diego so i got spoiled for incredible mexican food. lots of people rave to me about los chillitos but honestly, i wasn't blown away. their salsa/hot sauce selection is pretty depressing! they brought out this gringo hot sauce that was all heat and no flavour--and i'm used to having a choice between salsa fresca, verde, rojo, etc. most of the places i went to in sd (read: real mexican) had more veggie options, too.
while i was there, i overheard another patron raving about how authentic this place was because it looked "exactly like the restaurant at a resort in mexico" . i'd rather not eat somewhere that looks like a touristy resort restaurant, because when i go for ethnic cuisines, i want the real thing.
i mean, this place is ok. but i wouldn't go back or recommend it to anyone.
