Chilitos Mexican Grill is one of the best places to get Mexican food in Louisville. The food is fresh and full of flavor. The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I first tried Chilitos Mexican Grill while working down on Dixie Hwy. I was not familiar with the area, and I was looking for a place to eat lunch. I saw the sign for Chilitos Mexican Grill, and I decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did! The food at Chilitos Mexican Grill is fantastic. I had the chicken nachos, and they were some of the best nachos I have ever had. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were incredible. I also had the opportunity to try the queso, which was delicious. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a smile by the friendly staff. The decor is colorful and vibrant. It's the perfect place to come for a night out with friends or family. But what makes Chilitos so unique is the people. Everyone who works there is so passionate about the food and the culture. If you're ever in Louisville, make sure to swing by Chilitos Mexican Grill. You won't be disappointed! read more

The service was not the best at all. I wasn't greeted and it was only 1 other person inside eating. I like the concept of build your own bowl, nachos, etc. They also offer burritos and gorditas. They have beef and pork tamales. The service was rude and absolutely no eye contact. This chicken adobo is flavorful! read more

Ever since I heard about this place and checked it out, I've been going back incredibly frequently (sometimes even 2-3 times a week). They are so close to home and the BEST restaurant near me for sure. I love the art on the walls and how friendly the staff is by always greeting me with "how ya doing buddy!" lol. I'd always recommend my usuals to my friends: their chicken quesadillas and corn tortillas steak tacos are mouthwatering and made at the best quality every time I go. Thank you guys! read more

Had chilito's for lunch today at work. I ordered the chips and queso and my co-worker had the adobo chicken. Of course we added Mexican Coca Cola to go with our meals. The flavors were indeed there and it was on time. I will most likely frequent chilito's as today's experience was ideal. read more

This place is counter service like chipotle & you can build your own burrito or bowl. They have quesadillas, tacos, nachos.. You just choose your protein & build from there. They have a few difference sauces to choose from. I just asked for a few of them on the side to try a couple different ones. I got the chipotle chicken bowl & it had good flavor, I feel like I should have asked for extra chicken & other added ingredients. It was on the smaller side of a bowl than I'm used to but it was still pretty filling, Their queso was a thin white cheese & i added jalapeño for a nice spicy touch. Overall it was good & service was friendly. The bathroom just needs a little spring cleaning. read more

This was pretty authentic and very original! The food is simple but delicious. Great flavors and combination options. The guacamole is stellar and so fresh. The service was great and the staff was super kind. It's a fast service and the food is cooked to order so it's piping hot fresh. We're traveling through so I wish I could come back, but highly recommend! read more

I just happened on this restaurant for a Saturday lunch, and I'm completely pleased by it. I ordered a burrito with carne asada. The basic ingredients are set, then I chose from 2 different cheeses, rice and beans, 3 different salsas, and one of 4 different hot sauces. I tried "hot" because I was a little scared of the extra hot. Then when all ingredients were chosen, the burrito is grilled briefly and wrapped in foil. Just superb! I will definitely be going there again, maybe for an evening meal next time. Soft drinks available too, though I saw no evidence they serve beer or anything else alcoholic. Try em out. They deserve your business. read more

I decided to try this place today while I was in the area. I have been wanting to come here for awhile so I rolled on it. It was not busy I looked at the menu and decided on the steak quesadilla. It was $7.99 and came with chips hot sauce and sour cream for no additional cost. The tell guys they made the food we're awesome very friendly and polite. The steak quesadilla was very tasty and flavorful as well. The hot sauce was hot and spicy too! Excellent overall experience. Definitely go give them a shot read more

Our favorite weekend lunch spot! I have liked everything I've gotten from here, but my favorite are the chipotle chicken nachos! The workers are great and very friendly. read more

If you want to stay away from chain restaurants and eat at mom and pops places, this is right up your alley. It is an assembly line like Chipotle, but cheaper. And so much better! The adobe chicken had great flavor, the tacos were loaded with meat, and you could add whatever you wanted without extra cost. The flour tortillas were thrown on the grill to give them the perfect crispness. The place isn't flashy but it's clean. This will be my new go to when I want fast Chipotle type food. Oh they give chips and salsa without an additional charge. read more

Excellent food with a friendly staff. Restaurant is always clean. Everything made to order...

Fresh food. Some of the best on the highway. Always good. Service is great. More people need to figure this one out.

Delicious food and friendly staff. I was happy to see that they offer both Coke and Pepsi products. I love Diet Coke so that was a plus.

I think it's really important to understand what type of restaurant this is- there isn't table service. You walk up to the counter and order- think of qdoba. I will now lay out why I'll choose Chilitos over qdoba any day of the week. This isn't a qdoba bashing but just a rundown of why I'll choose Chilitos over qdoba. Chilitos & Qdoba - both have good food with options based on personal preferences Qdoba- long line that runs out the door with overflowing garbage cans and very dirty drink/sauce station Chilitos - friendly people that seem invested in the success of the business, clean stations, samples offered Call me crazy but I'm willing to spend $1-2 extra dollars for a better experience. read more

We stopped in here after they have been open for about 2 weeks. It was not busy at all. Service was good, good was just ok. We have so many Mexican restaurants on Dixie Hwy, this one doesn't really stand out. It is counter service. The veggies do look super fresh. My mom ordered a special order adoba chicken sandwich. There was very little meat on the sandwich. Way too much bread. Flavor was ok. I ordered the steak tacos, flavor was ok but they did add plenty to make a full taco. I do like their jalapeño salsa. read more

I can't believe that the best Mexican food I've ever had in the states is in Louisville Kentucky. I finished the food so fast and forgot to take a picture lol, so good, chipotle doesn't stand a chance. read more

I love this place. I like being able to build all the flavors. And if you like it HOT, they have 2 hot sauces. The green jalapeno sauce (warm) and a reddish orange sauce (hot). You can get that on the side to control the volume. My son got both, but he likes really spicey. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican dives. The little ones are usually the best restaurants. All of their food is made fresh daily. The portions are always generous and extremely tasty. The menu has a lot of options. From meaty to vegetarian and everything in between. They also have a child's menu. They have expanded their dessert options. So I am sure that everyone could find something they would love. Needless to say.....I highly recommend this Mexican restaurant. read more

We wanted something other than the chain Mexican restaurants on Dixie so we decided to check out this place. We were not disappointed!! I got the carnitas burrito bowl (healthier option), my son got the Mexicana torta, and daughter got the adobo chicken nachos. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. We love supporting local. read more

Today was my first time trying this place out- absolutely will not be my last. The restaurant is comfortable, not crowded, and equipped with a very friendly staff. The food is astounding. So fresh, and you can tell with each bite. Plenty of drink options, great decor, and a good location that isn't out of the way. I imagine this location is a hot spot for lunches, but is also ideal for dinner whether you're on the go or want to sit down for a meal. I look forward to returning, and hope to do very soon! read more

I love the food! Especially the steak tacos they're my favorite out of everything on the menu

The BEST Mexican grill in our city. Excellent food every time, very fresh, employees ALWAYS so nice. I will never go back to other "KNOWN" Mexican grills. read more

Great authentic Mexican food with a Cuban touch, So much better than the El Nopal's and the other restaurants that claim they sell authentic Mexican food. read more

We have come her periodically since they opened this location. It's fast food build-your-own style where you pick what you want in your burrito or in your taco. Ingredients are always very fresh and tasty. They have two fountain machines with Coca Cola and Pepsi, and also have Big Red! In the cooler you can choose a dessert (the flan is great) or a Jarritos soda. During COVID they do takeout and also have indoor seating that allows for social distancing. The dining space is pretty spacious for being in a strip mall location. Definitely a gem on Dixie where chain restaurants abound. read more

Good food! Quick service and able to eat in or take out. Enjoyable experience and good time.

If we could give this mexican grill higher than a five star rating.....we would !! The food is excellent and the service is great as well. They are always nice and very professional. We highly recommend Chilitos Mexican Grill...! read more

Ordered through door dash, i got a steak salad and chicken quesadilla and nacho's/cheese. They sent a chicken salad instead of quesadilla. When i called to let them know.the manager insisted i ordered 2 salads.And was a A$$ with a bad attitude. The "cheese" with nachos is nothing more then watered down white velveta. The salad was ok maybe a 2/5 BE WARNED IF ORDERING ONLINE Their menu is screwed up! Live & learn NEVER getting food from there again read more

Great place food excellent. Mexican style tacos the real deal. Just like a taco stand in Mexico. Very friendly accomodating people. The best mexican takeout on Dixie. read more

Really good food and service. The food isn't expensive and taste great. I'm glad there's a place like this on Dixie.

The food here is so good! The owner is almost always there. The service is always great and the people here are very kind. We visit Chilitos frequently and couldn't be more pleased. They make your order however you like. 10/10. Would recommend. read more

Best Mexican food in the south end, probably the whole city. The food is authentic. I would love to see them open a bar inside.

This is the best Mexican food I have ever had. We got a burrito, quesdilla (both pretty big), 2 sides of chips, guac, salsa, and 2 drinks for less than $20. Blows every other place out of the water. 10/5 stars if you ask me. read more

It's pretty much just alright. If your hungry stop in and have a bite. But if You live near a qdoba or chipotle go there

If you love Mexican fare you must try this place, amazing food cooked to order with fresh ingredients. I've tried just about everything on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. Try the tacos "the Mexican way..." with several different meats to choose from. Burritos, quesadillas, nachos, and even Tortas (sandwiches) are all customizable with endless toppings. The staff are super friendly, the food is great, portions are huge, you will not leave this place hungry. read more

Today was my first time trying this place after seeing it on here. I loved it! Super good prices and very fresh food. Everyone was very friendly too. Can't wait to come back! read more

First visit. Stopped for lunch. The good 1st. Place is very clean and staff is nice. Tons of fresh ingredients and the bun for my torta was perfect. Tried the tomatillo salsa and it was great. I ordered the cubana. Menu states egg, ham, pork leg, sausage and cheese. I received cheese, ham and a sliced hotdog. That's right a hotdog. I will try again but will not be ordering the cubana. read more

It's my first time going and I must say, the service was fantastic! All the veggies were extremely fresh and great tasting, they let us sample the steak and chicken which was seasoned just right and amazingly tender. I ended up getting the pork tacos, the pork could have been seasoned a little better but all around everything was great. And the guacamole was astonishing! I will definitely be back. read more
