I had to come back after my first visit to try a few new items. I started off with the crab boules and they were great. The breading was crisp but dense and there was plenty of crab in the filling also. The crab was fresh and moist. I had the traditional chimi with green Chile pork for my entree and it didn't disappoint. The pork was moist and tasty and the inside was packed! They definitely didn't skimp here. I had another great experience here and will be back once again. On top of the food quality, I went on Cinco de Mayo and they were appropriately staffed. My food was out in no time and the service was outstanding! read more

Great food. Very fresh the owners did reach out to me about my poor service experience which says a lot. Been living this restaurant (well started at the Bethel Rd location) over 20 years ago. read more

Some of the best mexican food I have had. I had a tamale. And tacos. Everything that entered my mouth was bomb and that queso ugh food gasm

This is one of those nice surprises sitting next to Noodles & Co. in a strip mall. Relaxed and somewhat typical decor for a nice family Mexican restaurant. The people are friendly, attentive and quick. I had the Signature SantaFe which is a super flavorful rice plate with shrimp, chicken and steak fajita meat, onions and peppers. They don't skimp on the meat or the flavor! The complimentary chips and salsa were good too. The salsa definitely not poured out of a jar. Prices are good. Most entrees running low to mid-teens but portions and flavor well worth it. read more

They need to take the salt away from the cook. The food could have been very enjoyable as you could see that it just was over salted. I spoke to server and she ignored me. I do not normally write reviews but this was not good at all. I have had spicy food and I like spicy food this was like they spilled the salt into the food. read more

Yummy! We were traveling through the area and craving Mexican food. This was near our hotel so we popped in for a bite. Everything was delicious and just what we were hoping for after a long day's drive. We were sat quick, chips and salsa were on the table within seconds. Service was prompt, portions were large, margaritas were great, orders were correct and all was tasty. We all left stuffed but pleased. After a few days of bad meals this was a pleasant find. read more

Went out for a rare treat this even in the madness of these days and we picked a great spot. Isabel the manager on duty was great and our server was awesome. Drinks were cold and the food was hot! Thank you for making our dinner enjoyable! read more

There are so many good Mexican places around, I'm not sure I'd go back to Chile Verde. Pros: chips, salsa, margariatas (though, I wish they were stronger), friendly and attentive staff, quick service. Cons: The food was simultaneously bland and overly salty. It's what I image hospital cafeterias would serve on a Mexican-theme day. Maybe I ordered the wrong items...a tamale, a beef taco, beans, and rice. All just not very tasty. read more

Ordered the house lime margarita that was absolutely delicious! Chips and salsa were top notch as well. For dinner, the fajita quesadilla was even more appetizing. Top 3 best Mexican meals I have ever eaten! Will be back soon. Attentive staff and nice, traditional music. read more

We had Chili Verde cater our wedding on May 19th, 2018. We used their chips and salsa/queso bar for our cocktail hour and the taco bar for our reception food. Jocelyn (the catering manager) met with us and helped us decide which options to choose and how to set it up. They included some extra salsa flavors, which our guests loved! We loved having a taco bar, because it was different than typical wedding food and allowed our guests to customize their food. Would highly recommend for any event! read more

I got a call from the owner apologizing for my recent experience. Their app software wasn't prepared to handle the volume that came in on Cinco de Mayo. They clearly care about their customers, and by the way, the food is delicious. read more

Great food and service again last night. Delivery driver was in fact early for our delivery time. Street tacos, chips and salsa and margaritas were spot on. We will be ordering delivery again soon. read more

Again disappointed in yelp reviews. Maybe living in Arizona for 10 years I just expect a certain baseline quality when it comes to Mexican food but this was really a let down and felt robbed of $20. Chips were not good. Salsa tastes out of a jar. Tacos.... hamburger meat with what could have been Kroger brand taco shells?!? Just a shame to call it Mexican or southwest. Ditch this and try Qdobo as it's 99% more authentic. read more

I've been here multiple times. Originally, they had the identify of a Mexican restaurant. Eventually I figured out they labeled themselves as "Tex-Mex" whatever that means. They provide complimentary tortilla chips and a chunky salsa. This last visit however came with a menu change. They labeled themselves as a "New Mexican" style restaurant and added a larger variety of food like a breakfast burrito, burger, and traditional tacos and enchiladas. I ordered the street tacos and my wife had the burger which comes with an egg on it. My street tacos were average at best. The meat and tortilla called a taco left my mouth quite dry and lacked something for me to say wow to. HOWEVER! My wife's burger was ridiculously good! It was juicy meat with a Mexican style flare and topped with an egg. I ate more of her food than she would have liked. I guess I'd say it's a must try. My next visit hopes to encounter more foods like their burger. I'll be back. read more

Chile Verde - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Food was fantastic and they do an excellent job of handling the gluten-free diet! The only negative thing I have to say is they don't have their wine license. :( read more

Wonderful gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurant! I order off their catering menu for my work every now and then, and they are always SO nice and helpful with everything. I even get help taking the order out to my car! My work employees always rave about how good everything is, and I agree! read more

We were just visiting for a few days and wanted to try a non-chain restaurant. This place did not disappoint! Great food. Great flavors! Large portions. Food came out very fast. Great service! Very attentive waiter! Nicely decorated inside. I wish I lived closer cause I would definitely return often! Delicious!!!!! read more

AMBIANCE - I like the decor, unfortunately, the host seated us in an area where the floor is uneven so all the chairs rocked back and forth. FOOD/DRINK - The menu is not consistent with their other location, the beans that come on the side are SPICY. This means if you don't want spicy beans you have to request a separate side and pay extra. I always get the Grilled Chicken Fajita Burrito and will forever love this dish no matter which location I eat at. Now, let me get to the most disappointing part of our trip. The margaritas. I judge all mexican/texmex establishments based on their ability to produce a fresh tasting, not overly sweet margarita. We ordered a pitcher with 1800 and I was most put out when I couldn't even see ONE SPECK of lime pulp in my drink. AND it was VERY sweet. I asked our waiter about if a mix was used, since I know the other location uses fresh lime juice. He stated, they had a bartender-in-training and that they use a mix that includes fresh lime juice. I was pestered him a bit more telling him how I doubted that since there wasn't any pulp in my pitcher. He that said it was probably the top of the "mix." Not once, did he ever offer to replace our pitcher with another since we weren't happy. Needless, to say, we will be going back to their other location as I've always had consistent margaritas from them. read more

No bueno. New to the area and trying to find our next go-to Mexican restaurant since we both love it so much. Well, this is NOT it. Terrible service - we were like the only people in there, for reals, and didn't see our waitress but maybe 2.5 times. I had to flag down the bus boy just to get a refill. And this place is small. Like, I see you back there. Whatever. I just tried to use the one opportunity I saw her to ask for everything else we needed: a to go box, the check and her not to take 100 years to bring those things. I got so sick of waiting that I just slapped my credit card down on the table when the check finally arrived and asked her to take it. She asked if I wanted to look it over and I just thought to myself, "well, it's already way overpriced anyway with this service and gross food that I don't care." I told her just to take it. Oh, and bring me that box. Yea, the one I asked for last time. Gross food - the second star is for the salsa only. It was pretty tasty but not epic enough to ever return. I got the fajitas. I love fajitas. And even when fajitas aren't that great, I still love them. Not these, though. The veggies were all hard and uncooked. I mean, just let em sit for a minute. The chicken was bland. Ick. No thanks. read more

We had great service, very accommodating for our group of 11. Good food, cute place, would go back again if in the area.

Chile Verde was ok. The margaritas were tasty and the chips and salsa were fresh. We ordered shortly after we were seated and the food came out quickly, they staff was friendly and prompt. I ordered the green chile mac and cheese, and was not impressed. It seemed like the mac and cheese from Costco, but doctered up with Chile's and pico de gallo. The portions are large and I had some to take home. It was pretty busy so maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but I probably won't be back. read more

Went to this location during Dine Originals, restaurant week. Didn't see anything on the table or in the menu about it, so ask the waiter about what the special menus was, he said he would he didn't think they were doing it at this location but would ask. When he return he again stated that they were not doing Restaurant Week from dine originals at this location. We proceeded to order of the menu. No big deal, idea is to get us out to try different restaurants. My crab balls we're done to the point of burnt and cooked in old grease. The soup that was billed as a stew was thin and 1flavor note. My husband ordered a burrito that said it was spicy on the menu... no heat detected. He added my soup on top as a sauce. The website made a big deal of their salsa peppers flown in daily...I think it came out of a jar. Very strange cheese dip appeared to be Velveeta with chunks of tomatoes in it. The gentleman that seated us appear to be a manager so I called him over to show him on my smartphone that it indeed listed this location as listed on Dine Original, Restaurant Week. He said "so? I proceeded to say we had to ask the waiter he returned from asking you and said this location was not participating. I didn't want to get anyone in trouble I said. The manager said"that's not what I told him at all I told him what was on the menu". He kind of shrugged and walked away. Very strange encounter. We won't return. read more

I rated this place high last visit but this time no so much. I always get the BarBQue Burrito, its normally delicious. Big disappointment today. Normally its half beef and half chicken but today 30% beef, 30% chicken and 40% green peppers, and I'm not exaggerating. They get 1 more chance and if not changed, Adios muchachos. read more

Went there this past weekend. My wife had the crab cakes (which I thought was unusual for a Mexican place) and I had the combo fajitas. First, the pricing is consistent with other chains and the one off Mom and Pop Columbus Mexican places. The food, not so good. Didn't ask my wife in much detail about her dish, just said it wasn't very good. My combo was steak and chicken and the meat is what I would term meat in a bag. Tasted like it was pre-marinated, processed meat, almost reminded me of the meat you get at Noodles (which ironically is next door). My reference to meat in a bag is because it was uniformly sliced very thin not to mention very dry. The veggies tasted fresh, but the rice was either under or over cooked as it was crunchy. Also, you don't get guacamole (which is pretty standard) and only a choice of one side. Usually beans and rice are standard as well. Very little cheese provided and if if you want more of the soft tortillas, you have to pay for them. The good, the margarita (I had a beer), chips were decent as was the sauce, though there was something different in it that I can't put my finger on. Service was good as well. All in all though, we will not be going back. read more

Great restaurant addition to the Polaris area. Chile Verde consistently has the best salsa, margaritas, and new mexican cuisine that you can find anywhere outside of Albuquerque. read more

I really like the location on Bethel, so I am glad to see they opened a place closer to my home. Our visit there on Saturday around 4pm was good, but service was a bit lacking. We had to ask for the check and it seemed like we were being ignored. Food was as excellent as the other location. Hope the service kinks get worked out! read more

The service was excellent! Our server Ashley was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Even with the less than enjoyable food, the service made up for it. We ordered the blood orange margarita which was delicious. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the mahi-mahi tacos. At $14 dollars a plate for two tacos with beans and rice I was expecting a more flavorful and creative dish. The flavor of the fish was very plain and the toppings were disappointing. The toppings consisted of low quality shredded cheese, iceberg lettuce, and tomatoes. I would compare them to the quality and flavor of Taco Bell toppings. The rice was overcooked and very hard, it also lacked in flavor. The best part was the beans, they're served in a soup-like consistency with a little bit of kick from the spices. We ordered two of the same dish so I can't compare to other times on the menu, but I was not overly impressed by the options listed. You can tell the entrees are very Americanized i.e. mac n' cheese is an option at this "authentic" Mexican restaurant. I would not return to or recommend this restaurant. read more

First off, I LOVE Mexican food!!! So it isn't too hard to disappoint me but this food was really really good! The salsa wasn't too spicy and the chips were warm so we were off to great start. Well, I should also mention the hostess/ server that seated us who was a sweetie pie! I visited along with my daughter on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. I had the Anthony Border wrap and it was soooo good! For $9, I got a warm, Tex mex wrap that was stuffed full of Mexican yummy stuff and warm seasoned fries. My daughter ordered the street tacos and the meat was kindda dry for my liking but she had no complaints. Our server was adorable and very attentive. We never had to ask for more chips or refills on our drinks because she was On it. There was no crowd and the ambiance was like a Mexican restaurant for a Thursday lunch rush. Kindda laid back but everything was quick! I really wanted to get a margarita (because I freakin love them) but I had a long day ahead so I'll save it for the next trip. Because I will be back for more :) read more

Really good Mexican. The chile verde sauce is amazing. Been here several times and always enjoy the food. read more

Chile Verde - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Best Text Mex in Columbus area. Albuquerque was excellent, and so was chicken veg burrito. Service was outstanding. Nice restaurant, Tom!

Yelp saved my night...again! Located close to Costco. Plus 5% rebate for yelp account w/my card tied to account. The decor and seating area all updated and nice! Service at door including server (Camden) was prompt/friendly and professional. 1800 margarita on rocks w/salted rim was extraordinarily good (it's easy to make an average margarita but need skill to make one like this). Huevos Rancheros for $11 is a great price and filling choice with very good flavor mix. Wish I lived in area so could make this a regular stop! read more

This place is so delicious. The flavor is always bursting with yumminess. The service has always been top notch. A local place with a hands on owner delivering the quality you expect when it is a lobos of love. read more

Excellent Tex-Mex food, great service. I could drink the salsa by the gallon, the chips were pretty good too, thicker and crunchier than most. I had the enchilada stack with an egg, delicious. The "medium" spice level was perfect for me, the pulled white meat chicken wasn't juicy but it wasn't dry either. A little on the pricey side but its on par with similar Polaris restaurants. read more

Chili Verde rocks!! Been going here for years- great owner, food is always consistently delicious- black barrel margs do not disappoint.

The Green Chile Stew is absolutely to die for. Although I must say this time it had a really good bite. Followed up with a green chile cheeseburger completed the evening. The Service was very, very good. drinks were refilled without asking and the server checked back several times to how the food was and if she could get us anything else. The restaurant was hopping, and from what I could tell nobody had to wait very long to be waited on. Definitely going back. read more

I'll start by saying that the margaritas were good and the service wasn't terrible. Other than that I have noting positive to say. The food was overly spicy for no reason. Things that you wouldn't expect to set your mouth on fire like rice or green enchiladas were ridiculously hot. Mexican food doesn't need to set your mouth on fire to be delicious. read more

Good food, good service, at slightly inflated prices. The food is very flavorful and packs some surprising heat.

Amazing again! My family decided to head here for family dinner quite suddenly. So I called at 5:30, on a Friday night, for a table of 6... sure, that will happen... we arrived at 6 to a restaurant filled with people excited to eat, and our table was all set up and ready for us before we even got there! Incredible how genuine and hard working their staff is to make sure people enjoy good food and a good time with people. Yelp needs to add a 6th star for this place! read more

Nice atmosphere and very attentive service. Waitress was friendly and prompt and manager checked on me. Food was delicious, fresh and light, not the sloppy kind of Mexican. Ordered a small personal order of guac for $1.50 and that was good. Ordered 3 mahi mahi tacos with pinto beans and sauteed veggies. Everything was delicious, I will return. read more

This is my first review ever. I have to say the two previous times I went to chili Verde I did enjoy the food. However, yesterday my four-year-old son and I sat upfront without a hostess for over five minutes!!! We literally got up and walked out.. as a business owner it's probably good idea to greet people when they come into your establishment. Cantina across the street was more than happy to seat us- just sayin. Sometime down the road will give it one last shot. read more
