They have a somewhat unique menu, particularly with their tacos. Everything we've ever tried has been very good. And the churros are excellent. We've also had the tableside guacamole several times, and it really depends on who is making it. We'll probably skip it next time. Service is good, and the patio is fun!

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.

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 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.
