I live in Virginia and we order everything from their website. The chili powders/pods from this company are second to none. The website has a dated feel to it but I feel that's because they focus on the product, not the bells and whistles. We even visited the physical store in Santa Fe on a road trip. It has to be good if you're willing to drive 1800 miles to be there in person. It was almost a pilgrimage. The cherry on top? My 91-year-old Hispanic mother-in-law gets all her chilis here. If that's not a ringing endorsement, nothing is. read more

The highest quality and authentic New Mexican chili shop. I learned about this shop via my 1993 tamales book, they listed this shop and Los Chileros as two sources. Chile shop carries Los Chileros and so does five and dime. Los Chileros is a very authentic New Mexican brand of chili products and seasonings, they sell to almost every major New Mexican restaurant. Five and dime uses Los Chileros chili powder for their famous frito pie. It's a very complex chili. The Chile shop's brand of chili powder is so amazing too I'm thankful I bought the 1 lb bag of spice because I made beef adovada at home with that spice and oh my gosh, it literally tastes like I'm in New Mexico and boy is it hot. Very simple store with only new Mexico's best. Kind and helpful staff, very cool store for sure. My only regret is that I didn't stock up enough. Well I guess that's incentive for me to go back to Santa Fe!! read more

The Chile Shop - It's a dream to visit this iconic store. - Specialty Food Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

See all

Tourist trap. You can get most of the foodstuffs in there from the grocery stores in town for half of the price. Yet tourists come. Tourists buy. The only thing that's of value there is the railroad china that they bought control of. Top shelf stuff. Otherwise? Albertsons. read more

The customer service here is exemplary. I visited there years ago and continue to order products from them. They know what I've ordered, tell me about new products and are absolutely the nicest people read more

Really helpful staff helped me pick out a carne adobada mix that was gluten free. It was fabulous and made a perfect Christmas Eve dinner. Highly recommend all the products they offer. read more

I had high hopes for The Chile Shop while visiting Santa Fe and wanted to send my mother a beautiful hanging chile as a gift. When I stopped in, the owner mentioned they had just sold out but said I could place an order and it would ship out soon. I agreed and paid on the spot--however, I was never given any shipping confirmation or tracking information. Weeks went by with no delivery. When I finally called to follow up (nearly a month later), the owner questioned why I waited so long to reach out. I explained I lived in Rhode Island and didn't want to be a bother, assuming there might be a shipping delay. He told me the package was marked as delivered and suggested I check with the neighbors. We had already done that--no one received it. Instead of offering a replacement or refund for $65.95, he said he'd "split it" with me if I wanted to re-order. I was confused--why would I pay again for something I never received? I let him know I'd be disputing the charge through my credit card, and he simply replied, "That's your choice." No tracking, no follow-up, no accountability. Overall, a very disappointing experience and not what I'd expect from a small business known for specialty gifts. Would not recommend ordering here. read more

The Chile Shop - If you are in Santa Fe and need a gift, stop by the Chile Shop. You cannot find a cuter store with nicer people. Take Santa Fe home! - Specialty Food Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Veteran owned business- very friendly and kind. The table linens are beautiful - I wish I had a money tree. I did pick up great spices for a reasonable price considering the size of the bags. Good New Mexico vibe. read more

Picked up a lb of the Dixon Chile that we haven't had since our last trip 9 years ago. Looking forward to making beef chili!

Great store off the Santa Fe Plaza for all things Chile!!! I loved the array of Los Chileros products, one of my favorite brands. I bought a wonderful cookbook and enjoyed talking with the owner who knows so much about this beautiful area and about cooking with Chiles! read more

Love this little shop in the heart of Santa Fe. Found it by googling a place where I could buy authentic red sauce to take back home. The owner was super helpful and friendly. He shared recipe ideas and we left with a dry mix we could make our own, ready made jars and mole!! I've already made a batch of the red sauce and it took me right back to our trip in Santa Fe! We will definitely order some online when we run out! read more

Great quality chili products that aren't readily available everywhere else. I was able to find all of my gifts in one store. I wish I brought back more. read more

I am excited to try the salsa and spices we bought. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The shop was very cute and had many different options of spices, salsa, hot sauce, and much more. read more

2 years ago, we purchased 10 full place settings of the Mimbreno china, designed by Mary Coutler almost 100 years ago. We love the design and the plates are used every day in the El Tovar restaurant on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. The china is expensive, but gorgeous. Lately, we noticed some of the dinner plates and bread plates showed excessive wear and the designs were dissapearing! I approached the owner of the shop and offered to pay 1/2 price to replace the plates, since they were 2 years old already. Instead, she replaced each plate for no charge! Wow, it is so wonderful when a local business stands behind what they sell. Thank you for making our place sets look wonderful again!! Awsome store and customer service! read more

My family has special ordered chile powder from this shop for years. From California, New Jersey, and Seattle. We get the mild and Medium Hot and my dad used to make chili for hours with it. read more

The best of everything Southwest. I've been ordering hatch chili from them for years. Then recently I was able to see the store in person. Bought even more stuff! read more

Every time we go to Santa Fe we stop here to pick up Chile powder and other goodies. They have pottery and glassware too. Friendly owner and they will ship! read more

I can't say enough good things about this business. I ordered online this year, placed my order on a Wednesday (right before Thanksgiving) my Christmas gift was shipped out on Friday and is being delivered via FedEx no less, on Monday. Above and beyond service, and I know that my gift recipient will be delighted, and I am too. This is how you do it! Thank you! I will be ordering again, there are too many good things not to! read more

Great shop! The Green Chile Hot Chocolate they sell is amazing!! They also have so many other great items in there shop too!! They sell hand made pottery mugs that are gorgeous!!! Great stop in Santa Fa! Highly recommend this cute little shop. read more

I was so happy to stumble upon this place. I wanted a ristra so Bad and this place has a great selection. Plus a large variety of everything else chili related. The lady at the counter was very nice and helpful as well and packed up my ristra nice and cozy for the flight home. Highly recommend it and glad I can order online! read more

The Chile Shop - Currently adorning a wall close to my kitchen in the mountains of Oregon! Love this - Specialty Food Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We love this wonderful shop. The owner is fantastic...We highly recommend this store...it's our favorite one in Santa Fe

Put the Chile Shop on your list of "must go to" places for chile and spice needs. The owner was awesome with education and helping to select the right types and 'heat' levels to suite our cooking (and gift) needs. I could have stayed here all afternoon. The selections are amazing. And, they ship! I love them! read more

I had a fab experience - 3 times. Stopped here when I was in Santa Fe. Then purchased some stuff for me online. Then sent some stuff for Christmas gifts. They went out of their way to get a package out for delivery in a short time with no extra charge. All kinds of yummy treats and the CHILI item are authentic and HOT - not water down for the meek consumer. Very happy. Will shop here again and again. read more

Cute little store where you can buy all sorts of touristy chile things. I got green and red chile salsa mixes, and a package of ancho chile. The wife got some famous New Mexican coffee. We liked the store and would return. Maybe you can get the same stuff elsewhere for cheaper, but the experience is fun and the packages have website addresses for future reference so I don't have to go all the way back to Santa Fe. read more

Great stop for those visiting Santa Fe. I'd say the best thing to take home from a visit to Santa Fe would have to be either red or green chile, or both! There are many different things offered here. My girlfriend and I made out of here with a big pouch of the red chile, chile coffee, and a posole packet! YUMMM This is a small shop and thus the staff is able to give the customers plenty of attention. As my girlfriend and I looked though different bags, jars, and packets the staff would tell us how to prepare each, and answered any questions we had. This likely isn't the cheapest place to find chile. It's kind of touristy, and thus, overpriced. But they do have a great selection of chile related items. FYI, not all food items are chile related. They also offer things like blue corn pancake mix and blue core popcorn kernals. If you are at the plaza, or nearby, check this place out!! read more

So thanks to the gentleman that owns this store our fridge is always filled with fresh, homemade red chili sauce. He was AWESOME, knowledgeable, and very willing to spend some time with us to find the products that fit our needs the best. Another bonus is that you can re-order online and save yourself the 5+ hour drive for the same taste at home. read more

Great shop. Very knowledgeable staff. They're quite well informed about what goes with what and how strong each sauce is. I am looking forward to getting home and trying the Jalapeño Raspberry jam I bought. read more

I was excited when I first heard about the Chile Shop, but a bit disappointed after browsing the store. Their items are overpriced. I found the same chiles and spices for $2 less elsewhere. Yet, definitely worth a visit if you're looking for edible goods to bring back home. read more

Everything you could want in regard to chiles is in this store - chile art, cookbooks, dried chiles, chile sauce, chile powder, chile peanut butter, chile chocolate, chile peant brittle (the sample was awesome), tortilla soup mix, chipotel chip dip mix, and more. If you love chiles and spicy food this shop is a must stop in Santa Fe. The staff was super friendly and very helpful too. read more

This is the go-to place for souvenirs in Santa Fe! Got a ristra to our house in three days. Tasty chili powders and some cool art stuff.

i didn't actually buy anything here, but i just had to review the store for the people who work there. they were so funny and friendly that they made the trip to santa fe that much more memorable. when i return to santa fe again, i will definitely visit them again.. and definitely recommend everyone to visit them as well. read more

OK, this is my kind of place. The people are friendly who work/own this place. It is on the spendy side, but well worth the money. I made my first batch of green chili stew last night from the dried green chile's I got here. Fantastic! The red chili pistachios were solid. read more

An interesting store that sells chile stuff. I know the name is confusing. Anyways, I bought a habanero jelly. Haven't tried it yet but it sounds cool. They also sold habanero chocolate fudge but I wasn't brave enough to purchase that. read more

We happened upon this store on the plaza! What a great find. Very cute chile themed NM products. Great for gifts and souvenirs! The woman who was working that day was very friendly and informative. Lots of chile powder and sauces. Only disappointment was that we didn't find the medium hot powder to be all that spicy. Definitely recommend a visit -- very reasonably priced especially given its location on the plaza! read more

Great spot for some unique souvenirs! The owner of the store was friendly and welcomed our questions. It was pleasing to hear that the items in the store are produced by local business and that the owner puts consideration into the fresh of the items, so he tries to purchase small orders to avoid products sitting on the shelves for too long. We are super satisfied with the products we brought home. This store does an awesome job at highlighting the local specialties of Santa Fe. read more

I have been to this store three times and it has quickly become one of our "must stops" when we visit Santa Fe. Pleasant people working there and wonderful products. Pinion Incense are a reminder of New Mexico when we are home. Other items such as Chile powder to cook with as well. Home decor to decorate your table also. read more

I visit Santa Fe often . I have found the chile shop a very friendly and interesting place to shop . I always get home and wish i would have bought this or that . Worth the visit , See you in the summer . read more

To be fair, I did receive a full refund from them. But I'd still never shop there again, and I'd still suggest you run, not walk, to another online store if that's what you're looking for. read more

Nice assortment of chiles but owner (lady) wasn't very friendly despite my plunking down $45 on her dehydrated soup. Snippy hen asked question about shipping. Try the 5 an dime store on the plaza--- same stuff, cheaper. read more

I came here at the request of my boyfriend while on business travel. He sent me in with a list of specific chile powders to buy for him and a friend. The shopkeeper was friendly, helped me find everything on my list, and even gave me a great suggestion on what else was worth trying. They also stock a good selection of local cookbooks representing some of the best of southwestern cuisine, local 'chile' themed art and pottery, and gourmet foodstuffs. Definitely worth popping in if you are a chile afficianodo. read more
