We had an excellent date night at Chilte! The food is creative and tasty, the sangiovese rose was the perfect "dry" and service was exceptional. I also appreciated that the food was fresh, and as a person who has digestion issues, I felt fine after eating here, so that is saying "something". Excellent work Chef and team, we will be back!

We’ve been here a few times, and we’ve had a great experience every time! The food and drinks are always delicious, the staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy but still fun and lively. You feel welcomed as soon as you walk in, and the service is always great. We really enjoy coming here and will definitely keep coming back! ❤️🌮🍹

First time to this restaurant, we really enjoyed it. We're always on the lookout for nice seafood, restaurants and this one that all expectations. Really recommend the octopus. The other dishes were excellent as well. The service was outstanding and we had.  Our server, angel was fantastic and made the experience even more special. Go if you can.

    Quiriego was really good! We were pleasantly surprised at the menu and the ambiance. We will return. The octopus, which you rarely see on any menu was fantastic, cooked to perfection, not rubbery at all although as you can imagine, the piece was not uniform and still perfect. The taste of the wood fired mesquite was excellent. The mushroom tacos and margarita were perfect matches for our dinner.

    We were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the food the service the band was for our dinner. I would highly recommend this place and we're looking forward to going back soon to try more dishes that were recommended by the staff. They make most of their dishes from scratch and you can taste the difference from other Mexican restaurants.
