“ Chanos is a good local Mexican spot that has also lately been featuring Oaxacan food. You should try some of their great dishes. I have really been enjoying the Gorditas lately. They are like thick crispy corn tortillas split in half and filled with your choice of chorizo con papas or chicharrón in salsa among other fillings. I am sure you will love them if you give them a try! ”
“ Best Mexican food restaurant in San Gabriel! Every time I order, the food is freshly made. The super fries are my go-to. Definitely recommend. ”
“ Great neighborhood restaurant! Staff is always friendly. They have all kinds of great breakfast options Mexican and American- breakfast burritos, huevos rancheros, pancakes, French toast etc. I love that they offer Oaxocan food, we don't see that at too many Mexican restaurants. ”
“ Chanos has always been a family favorite. I grew up going here as a young kid, and it remains one of my favorite spots in the SGV. Their food has remained consistently delicious and fresh throughout the many years I've been coming here. I can safely say I have never had anything here that wasn't good. Their asada fries are a staple. Truly some of the absolute best. Their tacos and burritos are also amazing, and my husband loves to get the cheese enchiladas because he says they remind him of the ones his mom makes. Don't forget to come on days where they are making tortillas fresh! I cannot forget to shout out their green salsa; it is truly what dreams of made of. I can't get enough of it. The staff is also always warm and friendly. Chanos is definitely underrated ! ”
“ Been here many times, but just now getting to my review. I have tried many dishes from the burritos, to the taquitos, and all were tasty. The staff is very kind and helpful. The establishment is small, but there are several places to sit. This is my first time ordering the asada fries and they were so good. I highly recommend the green salsa; I smoother it all over my dishes. ”
