Best fish tacos on the planet. Ensalada with southwest vinaigrette also awesome. Great longtime staff as well!!

Decent burrito spot. I got a carne asada burrito with chips and salsa. I loved the salsa! I opted for the medium option and their chips were perfectly salted and cooked. The staff was friendly enough and kept the line moving especially during lunch time. I may return again as it's close for work but I wasn't blown away. It's so hard to find good Mexican food in TN especially being from California originally but this is a decent find downtown. read more

I eat here 5 days a week for a reason. Simply put, some of the best mexican food you can get in Nashville. The burrito bowl is my go-to. High quality ingredients. The Al pastor is incredible. The same 5 employees, all wonderful, serve the community every day. 5 stars. read more

Excellent! We're from southern CA and this place does it better! Love the carnitas, fish tacos, and great chicken! Go queso!

Pretty solid spot! Love the atmosphere on the inside and they get the orders to you fast, even if you order meats that aren't pre cooked. Prices are reasonable, but servings are a little small (at least for the togo bowls). They have a nice salsa bar and all the normal fixings you'd expect. This is the ideal place to drop by for a quick lunch if you're downtown! I got a Chorizo bowl on my first visit. Not bad, but could've been a bit better. Lacked some flavor. read more

I eat there at least once week and I have never been treated so poorly. First and last time getting the quesadilla- I asked to make sure there was cheese and he said " it's a quesadilla obviously there was cheese" and I get back to the office and it's falling apart with no cheese. Very poor customer service and a terrible quesadilla. read more

My favorite part is how the un-drained ingredients drip down my forearm. Good flavor.

Pretty decent place for lunch. Particularly when they have the Tuesday specials. I had the fish tacos which were quite good. Nice rustic decor and the staff were friendly. Give it a shot! read more

Okay, I work at the Bat Building downtown and I get tired of the same old foods...so every now and then I like to go to new places and try them out..well, I have walked by this place a million times over the past 4yrs and HECK FIRE..I have never noticed this in the before..I know I am old but am I blind now too???? Anyway, I went in today and I was pleasantly surprised. Larger inside than I thought. I got my order to go. I ordered a chicken burrito with all the veggies and beans and rice inside the burrito also, it was really stuffed full..I love guac..so I asked for extra on the side I love that stuff.. I also got some chips to go and went over to a salsa bar where there was like five different types to choose from so, I got a little container of each, and a couple containers of some I thought I would really like..I am a salsa NUT..I love salsa...is that weird? BYW, I also make a mean hot salsa myself homemade, but I still like to try salsa when I am out. I got back to the office and ummmm it smelled so good. Everyone was like, heck Melissa whatcha eating over there...everyone loved the aroma from my mexicali meal...it was really good. I just wish the salsa containers were larger, but they were all good salsa..I liked them all. The chips could have been a little more salty but hey that is my taste buds..the food was good. I will definitely go back here again. And AGAIN...prices not bad either !!!! read more

Great prices, portions, and flavours! Speedy service was a plus. If you are dining downtown on a budget, this is the place for you! read more

Best burrito place you can find downtown. Away from the foot traffic, but a short walk from Broadway. Food is always FRESH, staff is always welcoming and friendly. Can't say enough about this place. And great Fruit Tea! If you're looking to get in and get out, this is also a great place to go! read more

This has become my favorite place to in downtown Nashville. I go at least once a week. I have become a big fan of the fish taco's at Chile Burrito. They have a fish taco Tuesday for like $8 and it includes chips and a drink. It gets pretty busy on Tuesday but it is worth it. The medium salsa is outstanding so that would be my recommendation for the salsa. Also try the chipotle sour cream, it is amazing. read more

I LOVE THIS FOOD!!! The staff is quick, they don't waste time, and most important.....IT IS FRESH. I will be back, probably tomorrow

Drove all the way downtown to come here. Tried calling NB order in at 2:15 and no one would answer. Showed up at 2:40 and they refused to come to the door. Instead, they looked at me and shook their heads and said that they were closed!!!! They don't close until 3:00!!!!!! I am so, so, SO upset!!!!! read more

What is it with these Burrito places putting together burritos with no discernible flavor? I go in, order a Carne Asada medium burrito, and almost nothing. It was spicy, since I got the hot sauce on it, but the marinade on the meat was nothing, the meat itself was nothing, the cheese was nothing. How is it that Chipotle can do it so well, and almost everyone else is so freaking bland? read more

Love this place. It helps that it's only a block from my office and therefore perfect for weekday lunches, but then again they're only open for weekday lunches, so I guess it's kismet. The managers/owners have been very supportive and clear about letting me know the beans, rice, and guac are all vegan, so this is an ideal place for a vegan-friendly burrito, bowl, or salad. And speaking of salads, that's what I eat when I'm eating raw, and there are plenty of veggies to add (along with guacamole, of course!) to make it a substantial meal. Their guacamole, by the way, is different from most others in town: it's heavy on cilantro and lime, I think, and that gives it a really refreshing flavor. I'm a fan, but if you don't like cilantro and lime all that much... well, what are you doing eating at a Mexican place anyway? My only complaint is that I wish they were open for dinner and on the weekends, since I sometimes work late enough to want to grab dinner nearby, and I live near enough that this would be a great weekend option. read more

I have been eating at The Chile Burrito since it opened and I worked just across the street at the L&C tower downtown. Since then I've moved on and I now work down at the Nashville City Center off of Union. Anyways, I still make the walk to Chile Burrito because of two reasons: Fish Tacos and the Nachos. The portions are nearly at insane levels for the nachos, so don't eat lunch there and expect to have anything for dinner. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fish tacos. They are simply amazing. They take great care to make it well - the ingredients are all very fresh and well worth the cost. For a fast-food Mexican place, it really is hard to beat. One thing to watch out for is the lady working the register isn't always the happiest person in the world. The owner is almost always there, which is nice - but that woman behind the register usually sours the experience for me a little. Anyways, if you can get past her - this is an excellent place to eat for lunch. read more

I love the fish tacos, but lately the pineapple salsa has been bad. Super sour! Other than that, I love the food & the service is fast. Just wish they'd put out fresh salsa instead of stuff that has gone bad. read more

I had a Chorizo bowl and cannot say that I was too impressed. The Chorizo was cooked fresh for my order, but it didn't look like a very appetizing piece of sausage to begin with. Behind the counter was quite a mess, and the topping ingredient area was littered with bits of each topping in another topping's container. Those with any kind of food allergies might want to beware. The taste was acceptable, but the quantity of food in the bowl for the total price after the "additional" guacamole and sour cream was added was not that great. If you want some really quick and tolerable eats in the area and don't want to walk all the way for BBQ, this place will do the trick. I'll probably go again in a pinch, as I stay at the Courtyard next door quite often. read more

Ok so I read all the reviews saying this place was pretty average. They were right except 2 areas. The medium salsa is amazing and the queso comes straight from god himself. Other than that very dry food, add queso to everything. read more

If you've ever passed me on my way to Chili Burrito, you've for sure heard my CB theme song: "Chili Burrito! It's just what I NEED-O, Ch-Chili Burrito!" They are the perfect lunchtime spot in downtown Nashville. Their build-it-yourself menu makes each item totally customizable, and don't get me started on the chipotle cilantro ranch... if you have a cheat day, add that to your burrito for an extra pop of flavor, but be warned, you won't be able to enjoy another burrito without it!!! The guys working the line are fast, friendly and humor me practicing my Spanish. Like Valerie Q. said, see ya there tomorrow! read more

If you want some authentic Mexican good eats, this is the place. The staff was friendly and efficient and fast, a little too fast actually. Felt rushed. Ordered a quesadilla with chicken and sour cream with chips. Omg soo yummy! The chips taste homemade not processed an loved how cheesy the quesadilla was! Def would come back! read more

Chile Burrito is pretty decent overall. I do like how they offer burritos in 3 sizes instead of only a massive one size fits all. I do find it odd they put slices of cheese in the burrito instead of shredded cheese. I've been to better places, but I've also been to much worse. It's close to work which is a bonus. It's one of the better burrito options downtown. read more

A-OK is OKAY! Went here with co-workers for lunch today. I was happy to see that in my burrito bowl that they automatically put seasoned rice and black beans. Yaya for good health. Tuesday was fish taco day. Our lunch guest had them, and I have to say they looked delicious. I was very unhappy with myself for not eating those. And, unlike the fish tacos of the West, they are made with catfish here. Ha, go figure. Darn I missed an opportunity. I had the burrito bowl with beef brisket. I know - beef brisket in a Mexican bowl - well, its not Mexico after all. As much as I love brisket, this must have been smoked and cook in the same oven as pork. My gut feeling (for real, a tummy rumbler) says so. See, I don't eat pork (health reasons), so, I can tell when something is a little porky (like fishy but pork, ah nevermind). And, it taskted more salty than usual. They give you a ton of toppings to choose from. Think Chipotle but with a mid-southern REAL Mexican twist. And, you can head over to the salsa bar and add your own red/green hot/mild sauce or grab you a lemon/lime to squeeze. Overall, def a good lunch spot if you are in the downtown area. OYE! read more

I am salivating just thinking about this place. They have, hands down, the best steak salad I have ever had (well, you order the salad and then you pick all your fixin's) I love their chipotle ranch dressing, I love the tortilla strips on top of the salad, I love how their steak tastes, I love their black beans, I love the cucumber, omg, I love it all... Like Joe's comment on their nachos, I always walk away stuffed. For a less ravenous person than me, a salad could probably go for two meals. Just be prepared for a line out the door if you go exactly at lunchtime. Plus you may or may not be able to find a seat so be prepared to take it to-go. The only downside to this place is that it's only open on weekdays! Booooo... read more

Amazing. The food was great. Fish tacos were made to order. Holy shiz the queso was amazing.

Much like the fast food joints, the burrito joints around town now seem to be a dime a dozen. Like one of my friends said, if you are hungry and don't have much money, go to one of the burger chains with the 99 cent menu and order a few things and a water. Well, if you're hungry and have a few dollars more, you might like Chile Burrito about as much as you would like those other burrito places that seem to be everywhere, not on every corner like Walgreen's but getting close. Here, its par for the course, some meet, some cheese, some beans, a whole lot of other stuff to throw in there and add some chips and a soda and you won't be hungry again for a few hours. The folks working there are efficient enough and friendly enough. The place was clean. Nothing to write home about, but ok. read more

This place was excellent. The pork burrito was super good. Definitely will go back.

Stopped in for a biz trip and found this nice place in the middle of downtown. Great atmosphere, great food, friendly staff

Quick, great setting and good food. Rumors are they are expanding working hours and serving beer, which is a big plus!

Nachos were delicious! I was surprised at how expensive it was, though. I just wanted lunch but I spent like half my paycheck! So many things were extra and it just snuck up on me! read more

It was OK, but not as good as the last time I went to the Brentwood location. Downtown there are simply too many wrong things to overlook. The counter where I sat was really sticky. I know I'm not supposed to put my elbows on the table but.... The chips were too chewy and not crispy enough, and they were chintzy with toppings. The burrito was good tho bland. The unsweetened tea - essential to any Mexican meal - was well made. read more

I was told about this place by my supervisor. I have never heard about this place and I have been here for 22 years. I tried it about three weeks ago and have been back twice a week since. I love tacos but this place has hooked me on burritos. I love it. They have fast service, great Chips and salsa, and the fruit tea is amazing. The portion sizes very as far as meat, sometimes it's not in proper ratio but overall I am in love with this place. read more

Great consistent food. ...they get so busy sometimes that they over charge by accident. So make sure to check ur bill. Other than that, they are great. read more

This is a good solid weekday lunch option for vegetarians and carnivores alike. I always get the nachos! Make sure you ask them to drain the black beans unless you want your nachos swimming in bean juice, though. The line gets out the door some days but they manage to get people in and out quickly. read more

My friend got food poisoning from eating the fish tacos. Serving undercooked meat! I will never go to this place after his experience today.

Quick, fresh ingredients. Healthy menu options. I was impressed for such a speedy lunch in-and-out place! Go for the fish taco deal on Tuesdays. read more

Chile Burrito has an amazing staff that cares about each customer. They are so efficient at getting everyone their food so quickly! The food is so delicious and I go about once a week. Their prices are phenomenal for the food portion you receive. I do think that everyone should go the Chile Burrito and try it out, I don't think you will be disappointed at all! I know I'm going today, maybe I'll see you there! read more

Down in the bowl...where I werk...there's a cabillion-famillion really average places to get a styro-yuck for nearly ten-buck...but Chile Burrito is a dang good option downtown for gettin' fresh food and nice people who make it in front of you for a price you can neeeerly dictate. If you wanna get by on the cheap and still get freshed up, you can get a small veg-head black beano burrito with fresh ingreedayents fer less than 5...I reckon. I like to get in that 7 to 8 range and eat GOOD with smoked, pulled pork nachos or a burrito. These people are really nice and they do it up fresh. If you are thrifty, you can share a full lunch for jes-less than ten, considering you have one friend in this crummy werld who will share with you...NO YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEED EACH OTHER OFF THE SAME PLASTIK FORK! Sheesh. Anyway, it ain't real Mex, but it's fresh Southwest...facing south...yup. read more
