Menu
Chiloso's menu is based on three main items: tacos, burritos, and bowls. They have a couple of signature items on the menu as well. After choosing a main item, the customer can add roasted pork, traditional taco meat, rojo chicken, grilled steak, grilled chicken, barbacoa, chorizo, or vegetables. For an extra cost avocado or guacamole can be added as well.

One of the specialty items offered is the grilled avocado. This has become a popular item on the menu and the two seasoned avocado halves that are grilled and placed over queso, rice, and beans can be a healthy option.

Queso is another popular item on the menu at Chiloso. Their queso is made with green chilies, tomatoes and spices that people eat with chips or put on their main item.

All of the locations have made a high percentage of profit and a new location in Forney, Texas is set to open in early 2019 to make the 7th location for the business. As well as the large profit margins, Chiloso won the People's Choice award at the Tacolandia festival in Dallas.
