Do not waste your time. We ordered the enchiladas and the Chicken Tika Masala. When I ordered the Chicken Tika Masala I was asked how spicy I wanted it, to which I replied "as spicy as you can make it". The girl who took my order was grumpy and anxious to leave, the girl who was left behind to run the floor was grumpy as well and non-apologetic about the fact that it took over 30 minutes for my food to come out. The enchiladas were dry and clumped together under a bath of sour cream. The Chicken Tika Masala may as well have been dry chicken in mayo. This didn't taste like restaurant food, it tasted like you went to dinner at that one friend's house where you kind of wonder how they survive. I don't like to give bad reviews but sometimes I feel like its necessary to keep anyone from spending the money for a complete dissappointment. read more

If I could give a negative star I would. Walked in cute place. Ordered chips with salsa and queso for appetizer. Salsa very bland. Queso was cold and chunks of cheese. Main dish was ground beef chimichanga. Came out on cold plate with shredded cheese on top. (Not melted). It had a funny Odor. Took small bite and meat tasted funny. Smelled the beef and it smelled like rotten beef! Most disgusting food I have ever had. Stay way from this place! read more

Loved this place when it first opened and had basic fresh Mexican favorites. We went weekly. We even had a favorite waiter. Well, the waiter is gone and new operations. But...still some original favorites...the Chile Verde dish is still tops made with pork ribs and so delicious! The tacos are yummy. The tortilla chips are not hot and freshly made like they used to be. The soaps were overdone. They now offer a pricey buffet with a mixture of Mexican and Indian foods. I might try next time. read more

Wanted to try a close to home spot. Wow, bland food, burnt chips. Service was great. Would not recommend

Just don't come here... Nacho cheese for queso, dry food, and they didn't bring the sides of rice and beans. Go anywhere else.

Honestly they're not bad. The staff are super nice and super smart when it comes to Mexican dishes. The restaurant is large. It's incredibly spacious on the inside. The food is debatable. I got three tacos. Barbacoa, lengua and el pastor tacos. The barbacoa was by far the best. It tastes good and has a decent amount of meat. The el pastor was also good, it had great flavor to it and an okay amount of meat. The lengua was also good but it barely had any meat. There's a lot of potential to this store. The food is decent, especially the barbacoa. If the price was a tad lower and the quantity of meat was higher it would have gotten a 5 star from me because the flavor is there but just not the quantity and price for it. read more

So disappointed to have to write this review... one of my favorite places in past years but today didn't measure up. Had Birria Tacos. Very small, dry and the "dipping sauce" just very oily. Side of rice and beans. Rice was obviously dry and had been sitting. The 3 draft beers available were all out. And the service.... Oh my. Forgot the rice and beans side, no offer of chips and salsa which has always been standard here. Very impersonal. Was dinner time but few patrons. No excuse for this. read more

Just horrible food they have an Indian buffet and some Mexican they changed the menu it's terrible

Wanted to love this mire than I did. The food I ate was tasty and the place was clean. The buffet is expensive $23.99 with a beer, which they advertise as included but turns out they have a price without beer, soda or margarita. I would not call it fusion. They have a Mexi menu and an Indian menu. The buffet is 95 % Indian. They had no chutney's, salsas or sauces on or included with buffet. They had naan bread, but no chips. Food was fresh. No samosas on buffet. The window advertises the buffet, but it has huge airbrushed pic of burger & fries. If I go again I might order off the menu. They do gave a full bar. read more

IMO this place is a hit or a miss. Half the time the food is good- other time the rice taste like chemicals or the "carne asada" tastes burnt. I'll have to try the other location to give my final thoughts, but the joint on 34th is worth driving past. read more

Been wanting to try this place for awhile but unfortunately not a repeat. $4.99 for chips & salsa. I don't mind paying if it's worth it; this was not. Mediocre salsa and over fried tortilla chips. The enchilada portion was generous, but not a fan of all the lettuce covering the enchiladas, with shredded cheese on top. I'm used to, and prefer, cheese melted on top the entree. Lettuce is a garnish, in my opinion. read more

$37 for a large queso. Literally had to be a joke I thought. Tried giving this place a second shot. Regret that. First visit I order 3 enchiladas topped w/ queso alacart They tried to give me three large ORDERS of 5 enchiladas each. I would understand if I was ordering from someone with a language barrier but this is a white girl. Why are we pretending like you didn't understand exactly what I ordered or ask a follow up question when a single person orders an absurd amount of food and I soon as they brought it out and I looked at the shear amount of food and raised an issue with it I didn't even have to explain before she went back and made me the correct amount of food and the way I ordered it because she knew exact what I wanted from the beginning. Since they made it right the last time I thought I'd try them again but this time I already had tacos at home, I just needed a large queso can't mess that up right! After wasting 10 minutes for just queso they finally start talking in a little group about how much they're gonna charge me then someone comes over to the machine to give me the bill: $37 for just queso. Literally laughed directly to their face. They immediately wanted to "make it right" by not adding on charges for salsa and chips and double charging the queso. I decided I'd rather walk out than let them "make it right". Should've made it correctly when I ordered it and not taken 10 minutes to scoop queso into a bowl just waste everyone's time. Wish I could give negative stars for the low ethics from these room temp IQ pricks read more

Split the mixed fajita with my son and it was awesome!!! Fantastic flavor in the chicken, steak and shrimp and definitely enough for the two of us!!! Will be back for sure!!! read more

The food was not an issue at all everything was good, including the aguas frescas. However, the only problem we encountered was with the payment process. After we finished eating, the waitress came to our table to take payment but did not provide a check. She only brought her card machine and asked if we would be paying cash or card. She told us the total was $55, and we mentioned we would be leaving the tip in cash. Shortly after, Apple Pay notified me that I was charged almost $64. I asked for a receipt, and it took a while for her to bring it back. When we let her know we had been overcharged, she said there was no way for her to refund us. The printed check we eventually received showed a total of $52. She then suggested we could just leave her that amount as the tip. We have no problem tipping, but someone who doesn't notice or understand the difference could easily leave an additional tip without realizing they were already overcharged. Overall, the food and drinks were good, but the payment experience left us uncomfortable. read more

There's nothing like the deep rumble of an aged cougar snarling in your ear while eating a chimichanga. You know that big cat sound. God I have goosebumps of ecstasy thinking about that moment and am forever grateful for this establishment. Also the rotation of the lovely staff here give me Deja Vu of being in the land of Oz. Never a dull moment here and they def put out-best salsa in town. Shout out to Hurricane Deb!!!! read more

Popped in for a succulent Mexican dinner and was surprised to find Indian food on offer as well. My cauliflower potato enchiladas were very good but my partner's butter chicken, aloo naan and the fresh papadum were simply amazing. We cannot believe we've been driving all the way to Gateway to India when this has been practically in our backyard all along . read more

Food tasted very authentic and service was awesome!! There was just one super sweet lady and she handled everything very well. The chips tasted very good - salsa was not to our liking but the queso and green sauce tasted good. Cauliflower tacos with a topping of guacamole, salsa and green sauce tasted good though we got couple crumbles of beef? on one of our tacos - so there seems to be no separation in the kitchen - therefore giving only 4 stars(also because of the ambience) read more

I ordered the Butter Chicken and Naan, and it was the best I've tasted in a very long time. Very authentic flavor similar to what I've had in Punjab, India. Recommended! read more

We had dinner last Saturday evening with good friends & we wanted something nearby & casual with good food. Chile Verde was perfect! We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals which were delicious, authentic & affordable and our experience was enhanced with Stephen as our amazing, personable and server. We highly recommend! read more

Came here for dinner. DO NOT order queso here, it's not queso. It is identical to the kind you get at a stadium, maybe even worse. It was also cold. My boyfriend and I got the flautas, smaller than hoped for. They tasted mid, had to add lots of salsa for it to have any flavor. Tasted like it had been sitting out a little too long. The horchata lacked flavor as well. Pricing was way too high for what you get, was almost $40 for the bad food, one beer and one horchata. Don't recommend. The only good thing I have to say was the service was great! Friendly workers and they get your food out quickly which is nice. read more

This is my FAVORITE place for Mexican! The service is always on point! They were so kind for my moms birthday! They went and got a piece of cheesecake for her and sang to to her, not realizing this was her last birthday with us. So thankful for such a beautiful memory!!! And on my birthday they went and got me cupcakes!!!! Kayla, Derwin and the rest of the staff are always so kind!!! Thank you for taking such good care of my family and I! read more

Chile Verde - Eating margarita's! - Mexican Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

Everything about this place has improved! The food is excellent and just keeps getting better. Finally a Mexican restaurant to call home in Saint Pete. Nancy and her mom, Maria, provide warm and inviting service and the ambiance gets better every time we visit. Changing to real flatware, cloth napkins and real plates has turn this restaurant into a must visit. New furniture has moves it from cafeteria/takeout to a real Mexican restaurant ambiance. Love, love love the changes to this place. Awesomeness in the making! read more

I've been here twice. The first time i came alone and the owner made me uncomfortable because he was flirting with me and speaking to me in Spanish and giving me free items trying to get more information from me - he was asking where I worked and where I'm from. He's also spoken to my friends like this when they're females alone. Today when my brother went in (who is gay) he told him take off your sunglasses and told him he doesn't speak Spanish. He was already being rude to a table of other gay men. He clearly is homophobic and sexist because he sure can flirt and speak Spanish when he sees a woman alone but when there is a gay man he has an attitude and can't speak Spanish. This man needs to remember he's an immigrant too. He flicked me off and told me to leave because I told him to stop lying and respect my brother. Will never spend another dime at this establishment. read more

First, I didn't eat here. I walked in for the Mexican and Indian buffet. The Mexican food looked...grey. I don't know how this is possible unless it was a play of light. The buffet is in front of the windows and there may be a coating to reduce sunlight that affected its appearance. Second, the Indian selections were entirely meat. With respect to the chef, more than 30% of Indian people are vegetarian and many vegetarians frequent Indian restaurants for the large selection of non meat dishes. Please incorporate more several vegetarian dishes in the buffet that would justify the price. Thank you. read more

Surprising fine! Mexican and Indian. I got butter chicken and oh my gosh, it was SO good. My husband got tacos and my kids got quesadillas and they were all so good! Fast and yummy! Would definitely go back? read more

BEWARE! We have dined here a few times as the food has been quite good. Tonight, our server took our credit card and returned it with no receipt to sign. She said, "Don't worry about it. We closed it out." We asked for a printed receipt to find she has written a 30% tip for herself! Won't be going back unless you feel like getting scammed...LAME. read more

Simply the best! Love the casual atmosphere, love the great service and the food is better than any words I can come up with. We are all In love with the quesadillas. Filled and if you like cheese that stretches a foot away from you biting it, you've got it in the quesadilla. Nachos were huge and loaded with all the good things. Barbacoa, grilled beef and chicken quesadillas were all a win. Chips and creamy guacamole that I will be craving. They've created a little more roominess, added some sweet treats like ice cream and flan. Come hungry and enjoy! So sorry we dove in too quick for picture. read more

This is only taco place I go in St Petersburg. They have taco Tuesday and taco Thursday specials. Lived in California and Las Vegas for few years and I miss the street tacos. I've tried so many taco joints in the area for the past two years. This is the only place that even comes close. Their Pastor and Carnitas are delicious. The breakfast tacos with eggs all day is tasty. The Carne Asada have never disappointed. I can go on and on about their different taco selection. And their hot salsa is nice and actually spicy! The only reason they dont get a 5 is they are usually out of one thing or another on their menu. And sometimes service is slow due to staffing. read more

Not a great experience. The sign says seat yourself, so we did. Eventually the only server in the place came over, tossed the menus on the table and walked away. When he came back with water, we ordered drinks. My mother in law only like Schweppes ginger ale, which she ordered. Turns out, they had Canada Dry instead. Ok, no problem. He takes our food order, and states they don't have guacamole. How does that happen on a Wednesday afternoon? Ok, we order the California Burrito (no guacamole), 2 carne asada tacos americanos, and the special of the day (quesadilla). The burrito is served with French fries on the side. We weren't expecting that, and honestly, they would do better to leave them off. They were very undercooked. The tacos and the quesadilla were average. I did really enjoy the green salsa they brought to the table, so I guess there's that. I know the server was doing the best he could, but he was the only employee working front of house. So, he had to tend bar AND wait tables. Too much for any one person. Guess we will keep looking for our "go to" Mexican restaurant. read more

Ordered : Dal Tadka Chilli Achaar Samosa Naan Only thing they gave me was naan and samosa. Went back to get it fixed, came home to realize they gave me a watery "dal tadka" that they rushed thru, and more sauce instead of achaar, or chilli .... I wanted to love the place because it's a minute from my house, but I don't think I'll order it go back (for Indian food atleast) read more

I found myself in the area in need of lunch, and Chile Verde was nearby and cheap. The space was clean and my server was friendly. Free chips and salsa would have been nice. I ordered a chicken taco and a pork tamale. The chicken was okay and the pork was pretty good. The tamale was cooked unevenly so one side was weirdly harder than the other, but the flavor was excellent. I really liked their verde hot sauce; my server warned me the red is too hot for him and he wasn't kidding-- proceed with caution there. Not super impressed thus the three stars, but I did get a filling meal for under $10, so not a bad place to stop if you are in the neighborhood. read more

I had the chicken taco salad. It was very good. I've come here a few times and have never had a bad meal. It wasn't very busy so the waitress was very attentive. read more

Food is always good authentic and huge portions. I love the salsa and spicy margaritas.

Delicious food. Friendly service. A great range of choices. Really enjoy coming here.

Wish I could give it 0 stars or negatiAte there the night we arrived for our month long stay in St. Petersburg. It was close to our condo and we were tired. Worst meal ever! I had beef quesadillas (they said it was beef)--no salsa or chips. Dave had chicken fajitas (the special for that night). Neither of us could eat our food. Sweet tea was WAY too sweet--couldn't drink that either. David ate just enough of his to be sick for the first two weeks of our vacation!! He couldn't stay out of the bathroom!! We visited Walgreens for meds that didn't help much. NEVER AGAIN!! Don't go!! Just don't!!! Go hungry if you have to!!! read more

They were closed on Tuesday!!! What Mexican restaurant would close on Taco Tuesday ????

Once & done. The server was nice but that's where I'll stop. Food sucked. Did I say the food sucked and the food bar was pathetic? It was.

So good Chile verde is underrated the best thing on the menu on my opinion is the California steak burrito tender and juicy

I am very surprised by poor reviews. I thought the street tacos were outstanding. Sauces really good! Love the server. Got bean and rice as well. I will go again. My friend got a Quesadilla and it was best I've had! My margarita was really good, as good as mine! Had a fun lunch and will go back even though 35 minutes away....I live in Largo! Could try north St. Pete I guess! read more
