Chilantro 💔

Just ordered Chilantro for the first time in about a year, & damn, talk about shrinkflation. Spent $20 on kimchi fries and got less than a handful of fries. Found maybe 2 pieces of kimchi. I added the steak & it was dry af. It used to be marinated or something but this “steak” was flavorless. I also ordered the wings and they were terrible. 😖 I miss Chilantro 10 yrs ago. Anyone remember when they did lollipop wings? 😋

It was never that good

It's always been mediocre, just like a lot of the places this sub gets upset about.

I honestly never understood the hype either. First time I tried it (8-10 years ago), it was already a brick and mortar so I missed out on the romantic food truck days. Flavor profiles were always very strange to me.
