I would highly recommend Calle Chile. I been there 4 times in only a month. I've found it to be the only true New Mexico Mexican in the area. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I plan to go again soon. read more

As huge fans of authentic New Mexican cuisine, we were excited to try this local spot. Unfortunately, our experience didn't live up to the hype or the prices. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon to a packed parking lot and had to park in the gravel out front. After a 10-minute wait to be seated, we noticed the staff was friendly, the decor was nice, and the restroom was clean. However, the service and food quickly went downhill. A nearby table of five that arrived after us received their food and complimentary chips and salsa well before we did. In fact, we had to ask for our chips, which didn't arrive until our entrees served. As for the food: the taco salads and Christmas-style chicken enchiladas were just average. The chicken in the combo plate tasted exactly like a Costco rotisserie chicken. While the ground beef was decently seasoned, the real dealbreaker was the refried beans served with all our entrees. Not only was the cheese on top completely unmelted and cold, but the beans themselves were actually undercooked and crunchy. While writing this we just realized we also didn't receive our sopapillas!! Our chickens would have loved those, along with the crunchy beans and chips. read more

Decided to try a new spot for tacos and it did not disappoint! I'm a red chili girly and this hit the spot of the enchiladas. The tacos were crispy and flavorful. Rice and beans were good. The service was fantastic! Our waitress was friendly and accommodating to with my little one. I'd love to come back and try other times on the menu! read more

Calle Chile - Large Combination - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I had put this place on my list and it was my son that reminded me about it so we stopped by on a whim. I was born and raised in New Mexico so I'm always a little skeptical when places say it's authentic New Mexican food. There is a popular place that says it's authentic New Mexican food that couldn't be further from authentic Mexican food, so I was a little afraid of this place. I'm happy to say that this place gets a thumbs up from me. Even though there are items on the menu that really are not New Mexican (i.e. shrimp--the closest thing we have to an ocean in New Mexico is the Rio grande River and that's dried up half the year), I was in heaven when I tasted the red sauce. This is the red chile of my childhood! They really made an effort to make the decor a little nicer than the standard Cafe. There are lots of chandeliers and a fixture in the corner that looks a lot like a Chihuly. There are any Mexican touches like ristras hung throughout. There is a bar, although it was way too early for cocktail for us. As soon as we received it she brought us chips and both red and green salsa--and the salsa was awesome! My son and I both ordered the small combination plate which is not really small. It comes with a cheese enchilada, a taco, the Chile relleno, and rice and beans. We both ordered it Christmas style which means you get both red and green sauce. The beans were so delicious - - they tasted like real pinto beans that were mashed rather than refried beans. Very fresh! As I mentioned earlier the red sauce was so good, and the green size was as well. I even like the rice - and if you know me, you know I'm picky about rice. Our server was a total doll. She was very friendly and when I began asking about the sauce, she offered to give us samples, a cup of red sauce and a cup of green sauce. All in all I will say that I was very happy when we left. Is it exactly like I know from growing up? No, and that's because every family makes their food differently. But this was pretty darn close and I like it! read more

I have a couple clients who told me about Calle Chili and how it's Sliver City New Mexico style food!! We have family out there so having some authentic Silver City food was just what Mesa needed!! As you walk you notice the nice pictures ( horse theme!) love it! They didn't have a greeter when you walked in so you kinda have to listen for someone behind the bar area to tell you where to sit, at least that was what happened today. And that was totally ok, clean and nice calm vibe in there with some TVs going. We were served their salsa the first time she brought did Out she had the red and the greens some mixed in one bowl like half-and-half, which honestly tasted really good. When you mixed them together, you could tell it was authentic salsa. Both were delicious. The second time she brought them they were an individual bowls. I really enjoyed both and so did my husband! They had a good spicy kick to them could tell it was made fresh, which is amazing because you don't get that very often anymore! We ordered the small sample plate with ground beef taco, and the red sauce. The beans and rice were delicious cooked perfectly. You could tell everything was made super fresh and the chili relleno was great. The cheese enchilada was amazing and the taco was pretty good too. Honestly, I highly recommend this place. We will be back. I think it's very authentic. I think everything is fresh and we really truly enjoyed it. read more

Pretty decent New Mexican food. Interior was a lot bigger than I expected. Doesn't look like much from the parking lot, but it's really nice inside, with a decent bar and seating. Happy hour drink specials, really good menu options. Green chicken enchiladas could use a little bit more of a bite. Not spicy at all. Perfect for those of you who don't like spicy foods You can also go next door and try the mushroom coffee bar which is pretty cool. read more

We love new Mexican food so we decided to give this restaurant a try. When you first walk in the restaurant opens up to a long rectangular room with tables on both sides and a bar in the back right corner. There were three reasons why I gave this restaurant three stars. First, the music was not appropriate for all ages. It featured some extreme foul language. Second, we were hopeful for some authentic New Mexican food that we truly missed. I felt the food lacked that true New Mexican flavor of green and red chili. The restaurant was not super busy, but there was only one person waiting on tables. We waited quite a while for our order to be taken and for our food food to be prepared. I had the New Mexican Combo which featured a chicken taco, chilie relleno and an enchilada. I had high hopes for the chilie relleno, but unfortunately, it was stuffed with cheese similar to Velveeta. The chips and salsa were decent, but the salsa was quite spicy. I don't mind spicy but it was definitely spicy. read more

The friendly staff offered a pleasant and wonderful dining experience where we felt like family. We couldn't decide what to order so we ordered a variety of dishes to share. The portions are generous and delicious with plenty of meat in the tacos, chimichanga was meaty with no fillers and ordered it smothered in their green chili sauce. The red chili was some of the best red chili I've ever had. It was covered over the chili relleno, and we ordered the enchilada with green sauce. Each of the 4 plates came with rice and beans The sopapillas were a perfect end to our meal. I can't wait to go back to try other items on the menu. The worst part was I forgot to take a picture of the dishes. read more

10/10 - Finally found REAL New Mexican food If you're craving authentic New Mexican flavor, this place absolutely delivers. I ordered the chile rellenos and my husband got the green chile chicken enchiladas--both were out of this world. The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and had that true New Mexican kick you just can't fake. The chips and salsa were fresh, addictive, and honestly set the tone right from the start. It felt like a little throwback to the good old 505--in the best way possible. If you know, you know... and if you don't, this is the place to find out. We'll definitely be back. read more

Went yesterday to celebrate an early Father's Day. Food was delicious and the staff were wonderful! I would recommend.

Went to get coffee from the Shroom Room next door. Met the owner and told us about their restaurant next door, Calle Chile. We were looking for a place to eat so we thought we would give it a try. Atmosphere was nice, and seemed family ran. Wait staff were moms and their kids. No one "belongs " to one table. They all help out. Need something, ask anyone. I ordered the taco chicken plate. The chicken was good and filled the taco. Although the shell was premade. The beans were delicious. My husband got the chicken fajitas and said they were really good. Next visit to the Shroom room we will plan on coming hungry to eat again. read more

This place instantly took me back to Las Cruces, New Mexico. Years ago, a friend's mom made the best green chile burritos I've ever had, and I've been chasing that flavor ever since. Calle Chile finally delivered it. The green chile is truly authentic and hits all the right notes. I can't wait to come back and work my way through more of the menu. read more

Made to order Large Combination Plate! No BS everything that came with the combination was prepared fresh and to perfection. While it was being prepared the chips and salsa was the perfect mix of heat and flavor. Spanish rice and beans were spot on. Taco shells had the perfect crunch and held together till gone, the Hatch Chile Relleno had the perfect mix of cheese, melted perfectly, the rolled enchilada smothered in red chile was exactly what I was hoping it would be "the New Mexico way". I learned growing up in NM that if you get the perfect mix of red chile, beans, rice, cheese and lettuce smothered in honey you can taste home in every bite. The sopapilla was the perfect mix of crunch and dough used to help scoop everything onto your fork. My way, was Beef, smothered in Red Chile and Honey and a plain Sopapilla. If you think you added too much honey add even more, you want the perfect mix of sweet, with the spice and flavor of the red chile, cheese and lettuce. read more

Great find for mexican food new Mexican style..great service..delicious food ..in a small strip mall..inside is super nice. Support our local restaurants .. read more

Menu says chips and salsa - refills 2.99 Server said yes, they need to change that but we still paid for the first serving. Both were good though. Had the taco salad. Everything in it was ice cold like it was put together earlier and pulled from the fridge. Ground beef was overcooked and crispy. Service was fine and restaurant clean. Many Mexican restaurants to choose from so I don't think I'll revisit this one. read more

I was in the mood for New Mexican cuisine and was heading to a little spot in Tempe that I know of. I noticed that this place was up the street from me. Food was great, spicy as expected and fresh.

Wow! What a find! A new New Mexico style Mexican Food restaurant close to my house on Mckellips. My daughter and I went there yesterday for a early dinner. I just had the leftovers for lunch. We eat Mexican food all the time. This is some of the best I've had in a long time and I will be back. read more

Hatch Chile doesn't mean Authentic New Mexican Cuisine... Steak fajitas were mediocre, dry, not seasoned and very small portions. Steak was not browned but was grey and sad. Ordered the "New Mexico style chicken enchilada plate" - menu description verbatim - "Tender shredded chicken layered flat with melted cheese and generously smothered in slow-roasted Hatch green chile. Served New Mexico-style with beans and rice, delivering clean heat and unmistakable chile flavor." I had a gut feeling to ask what type of tortillas they come on because I'm gluten free and the waiter said they come on flour tortillas (that isn't traditional enchiladas if they're not on corn that's Tex-Mex - mind you I specifically ordered enchiladas because they SHOULD be gluten free) so I needed to substitute the flour tortillas for corn tortillas. I was asked if I wanted ground beef or chicken... again I ordered the menu specific "New Mexico style chicken enchilada plate" why was I asked if I wanted beef or chicken? I was also asked what sauce I wanted - this is typical for NM cuisine however the menu stated it was hatch green chile sauce. I did ask for Christmas style (should be red chile and green chile) because I was offered the choice even when the menu didn't represent that. I was sure to ask if the sauces were gluten free, I was told they were. When the plate came out it was red chile and not green chile sauce... The red sauce had some spice, but it was flavorless. The "green chile sauce" was absolutely disappointing. It tasted like cream of mushroom with a can of green chiles in it. No flavor expect musty. (BTW if it is cream of mushroom it is often not gluten free FYI). We asked if they made margaritas because we were only given a beer menu. They said they had a spicy margarita and we ordered that... it was also depressing. The 2 spicy margaritas were mostly orange juice, some chopped up jalapeños, and barely any flavor of tequila. I am born and raised NM, I was excited to try a new NM restaurant in the area but this is NOT New Mexican true cuisine. Please do not go here expecting authentic NM cuisine. Our total meal with tip was $70.00 and it was not worth it. Will not be back sadly. Edit & reply to managements comment - *Photo of receipt attached to show I had to ask for corn tortillas for the enchiladas, the waiter never asked me about allergies I had to ask, and your waiter was the one who told me "our enchiladas come on flour tortillas and I'll have to ask the kitchen staff if I can substitute with corn". Also your comment about the tip is interesting because I never left a $1 tip. I left almost a $10 tip which was more than enough for the disheartening experience. Regarding your refund of the tip offer - I would never ask for a refund - we went and ate the food, and we paid for a service. Though it was disappointing I am not the person to ever demand a refund for food I've eaten, nor would I ever ask for a tip back. *I will retract my statement about the margaritas being over priced - that is my mistake for misreading and egregiously misrepresenting the price. read more

Calle Chile - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I was looking for a new restaurant to try. After reading multiple reviews, we decided to try Calle Chile because it was close by and ticked important boxes (they have margaritas!). It is in a very small strip mall, so parking is limited and the paint lines are fading. If they get really busy, I could see parking as an issue. One reviewer noted that they have chandeliers. Yes, and concrete floors. It is an eclectic atmosphere. The male server who waited on us was very pleasant and efficient. He asked if we wanted chips and salsa, and we said yes. On the menu it says the first order is complimentary, but when we got the bill they were 2.99. The server says the menu has not been changed yet. I would suggest letting guests know there is a charge when you offer the chips. I thought the chips were good. There is a red and green salsa, both in one bowl. One is spicier than the other, but you cannot help but mix them as you dip chips into the salsa (no side plates are given). Perhaps serving the salsa in separate bowls with side plates and a spoon would allow people who do not like spicy salsa to keep theirs more mild. We had classic margaritas that were on ice. They were freshly made and quite good. I ordered a cheese crisp with green chiles. The tortilla of the cheese crisp was probably the best I have had- light and crispy. The amount of cheese for such a light base was a little too much for me, so next time I will ask them to put less cheese on mine. They used chopped green chile randomly spread across the cheese crisp (some pieces had no chile). They serve it with sour cream and guacamole and pico de gallo. I am eating left over cheese crisp today and it still tastes good. My husband had the small combination plate of a cheese enchilada, a ground beef taco, and a chile relleno, with rice and beans. I ate the taco, which was tasty. My husband enjoyed his enchilada and relleno, but said it was spicy. I thought maybe the sauce was spicy, but actually the chile was very spicy. Maybe a spicier variety of chile than we are used to was used? Just a little fyi. He enjoyed the meal. The server gave us Happy Hour prices for Cinco de Mayo, and our bill before tip was $55. My husband, who is a picky eater, was impressed and said he would definitely go again. I look forward to trying it again. read more

Surprisingly roomy. Good food. Born and raised in NM I'm always looking for Nm food. One teeny tiny suggestion though, it would have been even better with a little Al Hurricane música, una Mula Bronca, El Mosquito, etc. read more

Jay our server was amazing! Food and drinks were really good! The aquachilles were authentic

A taste of home! This was our second time eating at Calle Chile and we loved it even more than the first! The chips are served with two types of salsa and both are delicious. If you're hungry try the large combination. If you're not so hungry get it and have lunch for the next day. The enchilada, chile relleno, and tacos are made to perfection. The rice and beans served on the side might just be the best in the valley! If you really want New Mexico style - go for the chicken enchiladas with an egg on top. It took me right back to my little hometown of Silver City. Be sure to save room for sopapillas.They are the lightest and by far the best I've had in Arizona. The service is spot on and if you're lucky you can talk to the owners and their family to get a real feel of the restaurant. read more

I'm giving this review 3 stars with the thought of possibly going back to try again. Service was mediocre, I had to ask for a straw, napkins and utensils. I'm giving the young gentlemen a pass since they looked new to the job. The atmosphere was ok, again new place so they probably need more time to finish decorating. Now, the food....chips and salsa were good, BUT! I ordered a chili relleno plate all rice, no beans but of course I was served beans but they quickly corrected it just for my plate to come back cold so I sent it back a second time just to get it back and from my perspective they used cream of mushroom soup instead (I believe) or in addition to green sauce (didn't taste any) but I would definitely NOT order that plate from there ever again. I'm a huge foodie and I love good food but this place is teetering on not getting a second chance anytime soon, or at all. Sorry ‍ read more

We had dinner at Calle Chile Restaurant last night with my husband and one of my wonderful colleagues, and we were truly impressed. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious--this is what real New Mexican food is all about. Please don't confuse it with typical Mexican food expectations. Calle Chile delivers authentic New Mexican flavors, especially those rich, traditional chile rojo notes we grew up loving. Every dish was beautifully presented and perfectly executed. It was my first time dining here, and I'm officially hooked. We ordered the combination plate Christmas style, another regular combination plate, and I had the shrimp cocktail--all fantastic. For an appetizer, we shared the mushroom fundido, which was so creamy and flavorful that I already know I'll be ordering it again (and again) on future visits. I highly recommend Calle Chile to anyone who truly knows what New Mexican food is all about--or to anyone looking to experience something deliciously different. read more

Just tried Calle Chile and I am impressed! There are many great things to mention, they were very accommodating and the service was excellent.

Calle Chile - Chile Rellenos, served with rice & beans. Complimentary chips and salsa! - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

What a gem of a place! Wanted to try someplace new in Mesa and Calle Chili popped up. They didn't have many reviews, but the ones they had were great, so we took a chance. Didn't seem like much from the outside, but as we drove up, another family opened the door and we could see inside and it seemed like a good vibe. We got seats at the bar and everything was awesome. The margaritas were perfect and the salsas (both green and red) with the fresh chips were addictive. We got a second basket! I could hardly wait to try the Cheese Crisp with green chilis. The chilis were perfect - so flavorful and just the right amount of heat. We ordered the combination plates so we could try a bit of everything. The huge hit were the beef and chicken tacos and the homemade refried beans. So, so good. Calle Chili's owner, Kathy came over and introduced herself, asked how everything was and stayed to chat about opening the restaurant, the original recipes she brought from New Mexico to put on their menu, and the fact that her chilis are all brought from New Mexico to keep everything as authentic as possible. We were so full when we left, but I took some of the green chilis and cheese crisp home because those chilis were just that good! We will be back and we will be bringing friends! read more
