Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Lawrence Smith

From the OpenTable editors: Both Bon Appétit and Esquire named Chilte one of the hottest openings of 2023 for its ever-changing ‘new-school’ Mexican fare that rocks fresh tortillas, seasonal produce, and creative takes on family recipes, like the mole de la casa that switches out different flautas and sauces. The accolades keep rolling in for chef Lawrence ‘LT’ Smith, who made Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs list in 2024.

    Chilte is my new favorite....fantastic food and very knowledgable, accommodating staff. The MSG never disappoints (thick cut duroc pork chop this time...). Such an enjoyable night out whether with friends, work dinner, or date night.

    Another fantastic experience. Seriously. We had drinks beforehand: Cocherito Mezcal for me and a Paloma for the wife. We split a half order of Yuca fries and their version of the Caesar salad with flash fried anchovies-excellent! We both has the beef tacos with Miso consomé and delicious hot sauce. Those we paired with a local beer called Church Music. Dessert with their version of a Chocolate Martini followed...we had taken Lyft. Just go! Ask for Erin and have "Mez-Kyle" pick a drin for you. We've already a reservation for next time.

    Everything about Chilte was wonderful - cocktails, dishes, flavors, presentation, ambiance, service, decor. Flavors and presentation were approachable and irresistible and yet nothing we’ve ever experienced before. A place not to miss.

    My son discovered Chilte and we are so happy he did! We took a trip to Arizona and I honestly will go back every time I visit there. The food was absolutely delicious, we ordered several things because we wanted to try everything and each dish was it's own delicious experience. Can't wait to go back!

    Food was very fresh, creative and flavorful! The play on the Old Fashioned with Sotol was excellent! We tried new foods like the Jamaica tacos and all 3 of the antojjitos and loved every dish we ate. Service was excellent and the ambience was fun and lively. We will be returning on a regular basis for sure!

    Food was just okay. The consume for the birria tacos had no flavor and the squid ink tortillas are not appealing to the eye. I have had much better ones at other restaurants. The value for the food was fair, however a 25% automatic gratuity for ‘larger’ parties is ridiculous especially with average service. We also noticed another line item that said tip and a 3.5% staff benefit charge. It ended up being a 50% gratuity when all was said and done. I would not go back and would not recommend to my friends.
