El Potrero Trading Post in Chimayo, New Mexico USA is the best place to get the famous Chimayo red chile powder shipped to you. Such a deep and rich chile flavor! The store also has quite a selection of different chile powders -- red and green -- along with other New Mexican cuisine products. The staff is friendly and will help you decide which chile powders best match your heat tolerance. The website does need to be updated as to prices. So, call the store at 505-351-4112 to place your order, and you will have your order in a few days. New Mexico grows 77% of the chile produced in the United States, including the wildly popular Hatch green chile. When in the state, be sure to visit a New Mexican restaurant and ask for the chile sauce on your meal to be "Christmas." You'll get to taste both red and green that way. In fact, Red or Green? is the state's official question. read more

Entertaining fellow (the owner, I think) will sell you very reasonably priced chile powder that ROCKS your taste buds! Been getting chiles here for years and hope this great place continues to sell their outstanding goods. read more

After visiting the church, this is an alternative to the official store. They have small vials of the dirt already packed up, as well as numerous other little religious gifts and jewelry. Reasonably priced and they have more than one register running, so you'll get in and out quickly as opposed to the official store where you will stand in line for 40 minutes to check out. They also have some cold drinks available for purchase and chili powders. read more

While I didn't actually buy anything, I have to leave a review for El Potrero Trading Post because the woman working was so, so knowledgeable and friendly and definitely worthy of five stars! She was able to share so much information about the nearby church as well as some restaurant recommendations in Chimayo, Las Vegas, Santa Fe, and even Taos. I wasn't the one inquiring about restaurant recommendations (the woman ahead of us was) but I did enjoy overhearing the suggestions. As others mentioned, El Potrero is located very, very close to El Santuario de Chimayo and offers a variety of food and trinkets including "perhaps the finest selection of chili powder!" I loved the smell of the powder while browsing. Definitely stop in here if you're visiting the church and they're open! read more

Great customer service! Quick mail service as well! Ordered on line and the products were delivered in a timely manner. I normally

This charming little place has perhaps the finest selection of chili powders anywhere on the planet. I visited in 2018 and was so impressed that I have been a regular customer via USPS ever since. When in the Land of Enchantment, Chimayo is not to be missed, and when in Chimayo, a stop at El Potrero is mandatory. read more

You need to visit the Vigil Store if you are in the area. It's a religious store, a spice store and art museum - another Only In New Mexico store. They sell the usual mass produced Saints. They sell the usual New Mexican spices. What makes them special are the unique woodcarving by local artists. The carvings are beautiful, freaky, funny but all are quality work. The staff is glad to give you the life story of the artist. If you believe in supporting local artist drop in - you won't be disappointed. Oh, parking can be a bear but don't let that discourage you, I'm sure they have a Saint Anthony santo to find you that lost parking space. Or, some other local saint, they have them all. read more

You can literally smell the chili outside the door. That is what I had in mind, a delicious bag of chili to take home. The super nice lady working there was up for a conversation, which I seemed to notice New Mexico peeps are up for. Good luck finding someone to talk to in the San Francisco Bay Area. I still haven't made my chili sauce just yet, but I can't wait. Need to pick up some ingredients for enchiladas. If I had more time and more money, there were a few items that were grabbing my eye. However they do have a website, if you are in need of some of their items. Visit www.potrerotradingpost.com read more

El Potrero is within the grounds of the Sanctuary of Chimayo. While el Rancho De Chimayo is closed for recovery from a fire, it is pretty much the only option in Chimayo to get food. A family run business. Simple. Cheap. Good food. Fantastic spices. My wife is a stickler for good tamales.... theirs are excellent !!!! But the biggest reason for going there is getting a big bag of Chimayo Chili for $5 !!!!! We bought a bag, and had plenty to share with lots of people back home. read more

Love this little shop. We bought several bags of Chimayo Red Chile powder and it was as good as it gets! Wish I had bought 20 bags. Can't wait to get back. Also, picked up some cool cycling themed items, including note cards with a prayer to the patron saint of cycling and also a day of the dead cycling T-shirt for my hubbie. Fantastic! read more

OK here is the skinny, shop is nothing special, but if you want an enthusiastic, bordering on fanatical, education on dried chili this is your place. I will NEVER order my dinner 'Christmas' again. I now know this is an act against God and nature. I also know and can describe the reasons in detail. We always stop here to pick up the excellent assortment of chili available. read more
