Chilangos Mexican Restaurant

Our Story

Marlem and Abraham’s story is a heartwarming example of immigrants bringing their culture and culinary skills to a new country.

As Chilangos (people from Mexico City), this sibling duo found a way to share their love for Mexican cuisine with the local community.

2011

Here is where our story begins – on 2011 Marlem and Abraham start selling Mexican food with a small tent at the Belleville waterfront and Ethnic food festival, the community of Belleville appreciated the authenticity of the food and motivate them to open a restaurant.

2016

It was on March 2016 when they proudly opened a small 27 seat restaurant in downtown Belleville.

2018

On 2018 they expand taking over the business next door and opening a wonderful patio in front and back with a wonderful river view

2022

In 2022, a wind storm took the roof off the building in the location downtown but three months later we re-opened Chilangos at 365 North front Street in the Bell Tower Plaza where now they have a 170 seat capacity restaurant.
