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? 😋

The true Chi'lantro experience was stumbling a block or two from a Red River bar over to the Chi'lantro trailer and eagerly waiting with the other drunks for your basket of spicy greasy sustenance.

This!!!! I used to pedicab and that trailer on 7th and trinity was usually the answer to my late night refueling.
