    The kitchen was slow. When we finally got our food the fajita was very dry and burned. Waiter was great.

    Love the ceviche here. Their standard margs are also good. Beef Fajita quesadillas are hard beat.

    Love this place. Frequent here and always get there grilled avocado ceaser with the red fish. It is the best salad in town. Their sandia marg and mexican martini are top notch. Also cant go wrong with their salsa.

    I've always liked El Chile, but they have stepped it up a notch. Extremely quick and friendly service. Fresh, hot chips and two salsas were on our table within seconds of arrival. Waitstaff was friendly and funny. Food was very good. Great margaritas.
