Probably local's favorite since there were people going in and out all the time when we were eating. The food here are large portion and delicious in flavor, but I think the texture of the meat was a bit too hard to chew. Servers speak Mexican well so we didn't quite understand them that much. They have a few seating inside. Good for the price though.

I recently dined at Hot Chile just like every other day, I had an outstanding experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, with decor that reflectes the spicy theme of the restaurant. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations. The food was spectacular, each dish was very flavorful and beautifully presented. I tried their wet burrito which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Their homemade salsa and fresh guacamole were delicious. Service was great, my server checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. Prices were reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. Overall, Hot Chile is a fantastic spot for anyone who enjoys bold flavors and a lively dining experience. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning soon!

Looking for a walkable spot near my house to become my new regular spot. Ordered a carne asada burrito togo. Was so incredibly disappointing. Seems like the burrito was made a while ago and then reheated in a microwave when I ordered it. Outside was scalding hot and inside was just warm. Tortilla was rock hard/stale. Meat and beans tasted like it was cooked several days ago and then sat in the fridge. Everything had that not fresh/fridge taste to it. The amount of gristle in the meat was overwhelming. Literally pulling it out on almost every bite. Gave up half way through and tossed it. Was so disappointing. Going to keep looking for another spot.

Very disappointing experience. My boyfriend went there to buy some tamales. They took so long and he told me that they were the first customers there, but they made them wait until after they served a group of workers who arrived later. Once home, we notice that the tamales were old, dry, and even had a spoiled smell. Not only but also small and overpriced. If you want to lose some money and get spoiled food eat there. Definitely not worth it- wont be coming back.
