The Case for Mexican Takeout
Some meals are better eaten at a table. And some meals are better eaten on the couch, straight from the bag, with a drink you poured yourself.
Mexican food falls solidly in that second category — especially when it’s made fresh to order and you’ve got a short window between ordering and eating. Chiltepin Mexican Grill in Colorado Springs has built a takeout experience that actually delivers on that promise.
Online Ordering Makes It Easy
The simplest way to get Chiltepin for takeout is through the online ordering system at chiltepinmxgrill.com. Browse the full menu, build your order, and choose pickup. By the time you arrive, it’s usually ready — no waiting in line, no back-and-forth at the counter.
Online ordering is available every day during regular business hours: Sunday through Thursday 6:30 AM to 10 PM, and Friday and Saturday 6:30 AM to midnight.
You can also use the drive-thru if you’re in a hurry — same menu, no need to get out of the car.
What to Get for Takeout
Most of Chiltepin’s menu travels beautifully. Here are the orders that hold up best:
Burritos — The Takeout Staple
Burritos are the natural choice for takeout — fully wrapped, temperature-retaining, and easy to eat anywhere. Chiltepin has over a dozen:
- Carne Asada Burrito — $12.40
- Birria Burrito — $12.40
- California Burrito (carne asada, fries, cheese, sour cream) — $13.14
- Norteño Burrito (carne asada, bacon, grilled pico) — $13.14
- Vegetarian Burrito — $11.95
- Bean and Cheese — $6.84
If you’re feeding a group, a few burritos and a shared order of chips and guacamole ($6.23) covers the table.
Bowls — Great for Eating at Home
Bowls with rice, beans, sour cream, cheese, and your choice of protein are a solid takeout move — they’re easy to eat, don’t get soggy, and feel like a full meal. The Carne Asada Bowl and Birria Bowl are popular orders. Starting at $11.96.
Carne Asada Fries or Nachos
Carne Asada Fries ($14.04) and Carne Asada Nachos ($14.04) are worth adding on if you want something to share. Both come loaded with grilled steak, beans, cheese, sour cream, and pico. Good as a side, better as a meal.
Tacos
Street tacos are great for takeout when eaten quickly. Carne asada, birria, cochinita, barbacoa, grilled chicken, and adobada — $4.05 to $4.15 each, with combo options. Order a few and eat them before the tortillas cool down.
Breakfast Takeout
Chiltepin opens at 6:30 AM, which means breakfast takeout is on the table. Breakfast burritos with bacon, sausage, chorizo, ham, or steak, egg, fries, and cheese — starting at $10.39. A morning pickup before work or on a weekend morning is worth building into your routine.
Takeout vs. Delivery: Which Makes More Sense?
If you’re within a short drive of Astrozon Boulevard, pickup is usually the faster and cheaper option. You skip the delivery fee, food arrives hotter, and you control the timing.
Delivery is available for those days when leaving the house isn’t happening — Chiltepin delivers through third-party apps and through the online ordering system at chiltepinmxgrill.com.
Either way, same menu. Same kitchen. Same quality.
