Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Lawrence Smith

From the OpenTable editors: Both Bon Appétit and Esquire named Chilte one of the hottest openings of 2023 for its ever-changing "new-school" Mexican fare that rocks fresh tortillas, seasonal produce, and creative takes on family recipes, like the mole de la casa that switches out different flautas and sauces. The accolades keep rolling in for chef Lawrence “LT” Smith, who made Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs list in 2024.

                Delicious variety of small plates and appetizers. We had an early dinner before a concert and service was prompt and efficient. Definitely planning a return for a dinner when we have more time to relish the various dishes.

                Kyle our waiter and bartender was very attentive and explained every dish for us and helped us plan our courses, The food was phenomenal, especially the green chorizo. The whiskey sour was the best ever. We ate family style so got to try so many wonderful dishes.

                Delicious food with interesting menu. Great service with knowledgeable staff but impossible to carry on a conversation with others at the table. The music was too loud . Our Apple Watch even gave us a noise warnings!

                Unique flavors! And enjoyed every dish. BUT it was waaaay overpriced. Our bill for 4 came out to $400 for a $60 bottle of wine, 4 entrees and two appetizers. The service was fantastic and really innovative dishes. But there are so many other restaurants in the valley with nicer ambiance and as enjoyable

                Our server was awesome and gave us great tips on what to order. We wanted to sample a few things so we ordered the Chef’s Rotating Small Bite, the Macha Pepino and Maduro y Friloes! We also ordered the Quesa Birria Tacos. Everything was outstanding! Only wish we had room for the Baklava Cheesecake. Next time!

                We've been dying to try Chile for months. It did not disappoint. The service, food, and ambiance were all top-notch! All dishes were delicious! Our favorites were the birria tacos and tongue. We live close by, so we will be dining here often:) Cheers!

                Food as described on CBS Saturday and delicious. Generous portions that are easily shared with our group. Friendly staff! Only negative is noise level in the building.

                Bathroom light was not working and a couple came out of the single use room before I could go in. They were both in there to help each other because it was so dark - for a meal that cost over $200, that’s not an acceptable situation. Service was fine but I had read it would be outstanding - server ranged from indifferent about our table to masking unprompted dislike, which wasn’t very professional. We liked aspects of our experience for sure but there need to be improvements to justify the cost.
