This place was recommended from a friend.... Drove 20 min to try it as my bf is from Silver City New Mexico so we were excited to try it and have some green chili! I ordered a pork green chili fry bread, my bf ordered the carne asada fries. Nice little place. Food was ehhh... Chunky red salsa was really good. Fry bread was ok. Fry bread was huge but lacking flavor; so I've had better. My bf's carne asada fries were something else. 0/10 we saw as they microwaved them. If you're particular about microwaved food, you know it gives it a different taste. They tasted like left overs and mind you the microwave takes the crunch away from the fries. The meat tasted like old leftovers as well. Super crunchy or just super chewy depending on the bite. They have free refills which is a plus right (sarcasm) read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food this isn't the place. I got a beef tostada, side of rice and a side of sour cream. The beef has a strange taste to it, maybe it's how it's seasoned. I can't put my finger on it but something is really off. The people are really friendly and the food came out fast. It's just not good Mexican food. I've had better food from food trucks. But I think it's safe to say that I won't be back. read more

New Mexican Grill - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

This place is amazing food and the best New Mexican food you can find in the valley. I have had several menu items but my two favorites are carne asada burrito smothered in green chili sauce and the chili relleno with ground beef, smothered in green chili sauce. New Mexican Grill also has great breakfast burritos and are always willing to take our very large work orders and always get our order right. Super friendly staff and prompt with food! read more

This has become my favorite place for breakfast. Everything is really good, but my favorite is the breakfast fry bread with red chili. The people here are so, so nice and accomodating. The place is very laid back, and the prices are very good, especially with how much food they give you. (Last time I couldn't finish the fry bread and took it home for breakfast the following day.) Overall a wonderful experience with great food. read more

Wow! I went here based on the positive reviews and it did not disappoint. When I arrived with my family there was actually a line out the door. Luckily it was a lot of take out and there were still tables available. If you are looking for delicious authentic New Mexican food this is the SPOT! We will be returning again very soon! read more

The food here is outstanding! It's one of those places where you want to try everything on the menu but also want the delicious thing you ordered the last time you ate here! Their salsa is the best I have ever tasted and we order it to go sometimes just to enjoy for a day or two at home. The only downside I can think of is its a little small and there's not a lot of seating but the food well makes up for that. Service is prompt and friendly. read more

They have yummy, fluffy fry bread that are huge! I like that you can get it with carne asada which I prefer from the standard flavorless ground beef that come in an Indian Taco in most places. The asada was flavorful. The ingredients were fresh. They also gave you an option of red or green chile sauce, and I opted for red on the side. The taco did not need the extra sauce but I tasted a few bites with it and enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. It would be bomb on some enchiladas. I got take out and it also included some chips and salsa. You don't see that too often anymore. Most places charge extra for these. I didn't try anything else besides the fry bread taco but I'm already excited to go back and try more items. So... Yay! I'm a fan! read more

Great food. Right next door to Hair of the Dog where you can bring your food. Cinnamon chips are fantastic!

This place was just plain gross. As others have noted, we should have run out the door when we saw them microwaving everything. I couldn't recommend New Mexican Grill less. Not worth it. read more

After seeing this place reviewed a few times by my friends, I finally convinced my family we needed to give it a try. It was much more 'hole-in-the-wall' than I expected, but my husband reminded me that some of the best places are. I had the carne asada fry bread with green sauce. I didn't love the meat, but the sauce was the perfect level of spiciness for me. My husband ordered machaca with red sauce and said his was kind of bland. The self-serve chips and salsa were surprisingly good considering they were sitting under a heat lamp. I wouldn't call the service bad, just more laid back than I'm used to while eating out. It was kind of hard to tell who worked there and who was just hanging out watching the game on the television. read more

Went here with friends from work upon a recommendation from regular customers from the place we work at... Loved the food. Very reasonable (price) and love the salsa bar! Some chips kept us busy. My friend ordered a quesadilla for us to share and it was soooooo good! I had a burrito which I could not finish, but took the rest home. Really enjoyed the experience will def be back! read more

Everything in Reading is simply delicious. The three days I was attending a convention I never had an average meal. Roasted marinated chicken is one of their more popular savory crepes. Now I know why :) read more

So far I have been here five times. I would go more but the fiancé kind of limits it to one week. This week I went twice so I tried the chimi. My only complaint is that it's too big. Thank god they didn't give me beans also. The portions at this place are huge I never seem to have room for chips. I like the three sauces at the salsa bar. But my favorite is the hatch green sauce. I love the chili Relleno. It's hard to find a good one in az. I will say it's probably just as good with red or hatch. I love the tostada I'm not sure how but it doesn't break when I eat it. I never found that before usually they crumble. The other thing is the Diet Coke is always perfect if you read my other reviews I don't eat at places with Pepsi too often. Lately the trend is the new 50 flavor coke machine which sucks. Not here the coke is great. Most of all I have to say the people who work there are awesome. They take pride in what they do and it shows. Hope this place never changes I love it read more

I had an amazing experience here today. I had a shredded chicken chimi that was covered in decadent hatch green chili sauce. It is a must, and Marcos was an awesome server. He made it a fun experience. If you live in east valley, give this place a try! read more

We go here every time we visit our daughter and Arizona our family is from New Mexico and we miss the food so happy to find good New Mexico style food especially the sopapillas looking forward to our next visit read more

The first thing you need to know about the New Mexican Grill is the closing time shown on Yelp for Friday night is wrong! They close at 8:00 pm not 8:30 pm. I've submitted a correction to Yelp. This is significant because we were hoping to enjoy a nice visit with friends over dinner and arrived at about 7:40 only to be clearly informed that our dinners would be prepared as take out orders. I can appreciate closing times, but just stop letting anyone else in once you get close to your closing time. Allow your customers who arrived well before closing time to enjoy their food without giving it to them in a "to go bag" and pointing them toward the door. They did finally agree to let us unpack our dinners and sit at a table while they swept up around us, significantly diminishing our dining experience. The second thing to know about the New Mexican Grill is that the name implies that the cooking style is "New Mexico" style not that it is a "New" Mexican grill. Get it? New Mexican Grill. Anyway, other than the cheese quesadilla and grilled chicken tostada, the third thing you need to know us that the food is outstanding! Given that it is the "New Mexican Grill", there are a lot of green chile options, which I love. I had the chicken chimichanga with green chile sauce and it was superb. Excellent flavor. My only complaint with the food is the servings are smaller than expected and the rice and beans were minimal; more of a garnish than sides. With that said, I will definitely be back to explore more green chile recipes grilled in that wonderful "New Mexico" style. read more

Awesome breakfast burrito. Best one I have had to date in the east valley. Update. I've been here a couple more times and brought some friends along. They agree with me on the breakfast burrito. I haven't had anything else. read more

For quite some time New Mexican Grill has been our go-to place for Mexican food. The #7 combo has long been my favorite, the chicken burrito and rice. My wife is very much more random in her selections which never has she found disappointing. We've tried other Mexican restaurants as they opened in the area, but very few we'll ever give a second thought to. read more

We really love the food at this restaurant. Unfortunately, more times than not, the customer service is just flat out horrible. Today was another one of those days. Condescending jerks. I refer people to you at least 3 times a week on local pages but you have finally given me the last bad experience that I am going to accept from you. read more

I wish I could have rated this place higher. They nailed service and the place looks nice(tight but unique). Where things fell apart for me was the carne asada I had was primarily fat and almost inedible. It really messed with the flow of eating as I would bite into a taco and huge chunks of fat bounce back at me, also salsa isn't too great, not terrible but just lacking which should be a staple of any taco shop. I do like all the options they have and maybe my review would have been different if I had tried something different but carne asada is tried and true perfection and it fell flat here. read more

The inside is small but the food is good. Green chili has a nice bite without being overly spicy. I have the green chili pork stew: the potatoes were fried as opposed to boiled but the overall completion of the dish was rich and deep. The fry bread is addicting. read more

Best New Mexican food I've had in 20+ years since moving from New Mexico in the 90's. All portions are huge & enough to have for 2nd day yummy left-overs. Highly recommend going to eat here and give it a try. read more

This restaurant has the most amazing fried bread. It's large so if you get it loaded, you might need to consider sharing it.

My husband and I love this place. The fry bread is wonderful!!! If you haven't tried it, it's definitely a must!

We were excited to check this place out. I hear they have great breakfast burritos but they aren't offered in the afternoon. I was told this in a very rude and discourteous manner by a short girl with black hair around high school or college age. She should be let go. Absolutely condescending and that's the first impression you want to give your customers you need to think your strategy. My mom had a quesadilla that was so burned the only flavor it had was that of charcoal. I had a shredded beef burrito and thought it was rather good. Very flavorful and not short on meat. It was super filling and I enjoyed it. My Dad had the pork and it was not shredded but these weird unchewable rubber nuggets. Let's just say it's a good thing they offer flavorful endless chips with flavorful salsa. The atmosphere is grim. There is a TV blasting away. It felt like I was at an auto repair shop waiting for an oil change. I was happy to leave. I'd still like to try the breakfast burritos for TAKE OUT but I'd have to get the approval of the snarky girl upfront who apparently has better things to do than appreciate the fact she has a job. read more

We discovered this less than a week ago and have already been back! The boys love the machaca and carne asada and I love the veggie burrito. The salsa is delicious and the tortillas are tasty enough to eat solo. I was born and raised in San Diego, so I know a thing or two about tasty Mexican food and this place is an incredible find! read more

Yelp, double ordered my order and when I called the restaurant they said they could not do anything that I had to call Yelp. When I got ahold of Yelp, they tried to call restaurant and they said it was too late, they made the food. I told them about 2 minutes after I saw Yelp driver text that their was a double order. Will never eat here again! Sad situation. read more

We just recently relocated from So Cal to Chandler and have been looking for a good Mexican restaurant with very little luck. Our search is over. The menu at the New Mexican Grill actually beats by far anything we've had in Cali. Their food smothered with the green chili sauce is outstandingly spicy and flavorful. Our new 'go to' favorite! read more

Absolutely love this place! It's as close to Southern Colorado Mexican food as we can get. Awesome green chili! Highly recommend if you love Mexican food. read more

Different to what I am used to in New Mexico, but great for Arizona. When I first went here by myself, I ordered the Tamale by itself. It was lunch time and I didn't want too much. Wow. The tamale was masa steams served under pork meat with chile. Very different and very good. Later I went with dh. I really wanted chile cheese fries, but knew I needed a buddy to eat them with me. The portion was HUGE! Dh and I shared the fries that had everything on it. The meat was great and cooked crispy. The chile was Christmas and was really a great combination. We also had ordered carne adovada plates. We had so much food we did not have enough room on the table. We finally just asked for a box and boxed up our dinners. We had chile fries we could not finish. That was more than enough for the 2 of us. Now, I know some people are thinking the dinners are not good after taking home. They are quite good after for left overs! The leftover dinners were quite tasty. We spoke to the bus boy and he said he and his girlfriend share one meal. Next time we plan to do that. We are newbies! Next time we go we plan to go for breakfast in search of the closest thing to NM for a breakfast burrito. read more

Food for quality cannot be beat anywhere else. Their food is good and for a decent price too. I usually get the #1 combo that comes with a cheese enchilada, beef taco, and a bean tostada. Everything is good tasting, but their red enchilada sauce can vary greatly in spice. Sometimes it is just perfect, other times it is very spicy and makes it difficult to eat, and sometimes it is a little bland and lacking flavor. The salsa that comes with the chips is always good and a wonderful addition to the meal. This has become our go to mexican meal. read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant. I Ordered $50 worth of food to go and then waited for an hour in the restaurant to get my food. I realized something was wrong when the people waiting ahead of me were getting their money refunded and leaving empty handed. The manager comes out and says they're going to close the restaurant early because they're running out of food. That's fine but then she proceeds to tell me we are going to have to wait outside now for our food. That day, it was about 104 out so you can imagine my frustration at this point. I decided to just call it a lost cause and get my money refunded so as I was about to ask the manager for a refund, she asks me if I'm waiting for my food and I ptry to explain that I'm done waiting and want my money back when she cuts me off and says, somewhat rudely, that if I'm not waiting for my food, I need to leave. I end up getting my refund (minus the tip that I gave) and leave empty handed having wasted an hour of my time. I will not be coming back after this experience. read more

So I found New Mexico grill via Yelp. You know I has to be good when you get there and there is a line out the door. Ordered the Green Chile stew w/fried bread and found a nice seat outside. It came pretty quickly, it look and smelled excellent. My first bite caught me off guard because of the spice. But once I embraced it, I have to say it is extraordinary. The chunks of pork, soaking up the broth and potatoes and chile is excellent. I look forward to coming back and trying something else! read more

Food was bland but the customer service was great! Finding Mexican Restaurants in the area to be very mediocre and lacking in spices. May just be a different Mexican food then I am use to. read more

The most authentic New Mexican food my husband and I have been able to find since moving to Tempe from Albuquerque. We have been struggling to find good green chile dishes around here, and the breakfast burrito here FINALLY hit the spot. The spice isn't as strong as we are used to, but the flavor is right on. A little hint of sweetness to the chile was something we weren't used to but overall loved this place! It's a tiny place but the portions were huge. We each had a bacon breakfast burrito smothered in the green chile. Next time we could definitely share. The tortillas are homemade and taste incredible. The kids meal was a little pricey but it was nice to find something simple our kid would eat (a quesadilla ca'e with rice, beans and a drink). read more

Good little hole in the wall.. Breakfast is great, pesole on the weekend is really good, green Chile is good and the fry bread is a great bonus.. Hate they are closed on Sunday, but good food!! read more

We love this place. It is our favorite, for sure. Great tasting food!!! Delicious salsas. Not always the friendliest staff, and the blaring tv is unnecessary. You will love this mom and pop place with a small space for dining indoor and out. Update. Due to the quarantine, we had not been here in eight months. We were a little disappointed - however the shredded beef chimichangas are still the best around. They have changed their chips which we did not care for because they were much thicker. Also, only one of the four employees was wearing a mask. Lastly, since the chips and salsa are no longer out for access, we felt like we had to beg and plead for more chips. In addition to all of that, the price has increased by 16% since we were last there. Ouch. read more

This is one of our favorite family run Mexican restaurants. I am addicted to the carne adovado pork with sopes. The fresh chips and salsa are amazing for dine in, I hope they survive Covid! This is one of those places where you want to try other things but never can, my favorite is just always perfect. read more
