    Went to El Chile for my birthday brunch with girlfriends - such a great choice! At 11 am on this Saturday, there was easy, ample parking and the restaurant was fully prepped and ready to go. The staff was attentive and friendly, our food came out per our orders, and we enjoyed mimosas and took our time chatting and opening presents - we didn’t feel rushed at all. Shortly after we got seated the restaurant started filling up, but the vibe remained positive, open and chill. Everything was delicious, especially the prickly pear mimosas - yum - they will move to the top of my list for future visits. I love how fresh every ingredient is, and as a person with food restrictions, it was easy and comforting to get a delicious plate of food I eat could without worry. I’ve been coming to El Chile for years since before their relocation to the current address, and their consistency and quality still wows me - just so delicious. My husband and I love meals at El Chile or sometimes get takeout from El Chilito if we want to enjoy the food at home. My girlfriends had all been to El Chile for lunch or dinner but none knew they had a brunch. Everyone happily added it to their list of awesome brunch spots and plan to come back again soon.

    The food was very tasty. The grilled avocado on the Caesar salad was a nice twist. The Queso Flameado with mushrooms and peppers was delicious with warm flour tortillas. Service was efficient but nothing stellar. The menu offers lots of options. I would recommend giving El Chile a try.

    We had a great meal! The menu goes beyond your average Mexican joint. Lots of drink options, including some specialty cocktails the night we came in. Overall, would recommend and return!

    Love El Chile. Margaritas, tacos and enchiladas with queso - can’t beat it. Great location before or after games, plays, concerts!
