Green Chilitos — Restaurant in Fairfield

My wife and I drove 40 minutes for dinner here on a whim based on the photos and high reviews. At first glance, the place seemed like it had character and authentic food. Unfortunately, our experience makes us plan to never return.

We arrived around 9:15pm just as a party of four was leaving, which made us the only customers in the restaurant. We mentioned this was our first time there and the staff member initially seemed friendly and even offered complimentary drinks, which felt welcoming. After we ordered, we sat down to wait for our food, looking forward to eating. About 15 minutes later, he silently dropped a bag on the table next to us without saying a word. We assumed it was a mobile order, because we didn’t ask for anything to go, so we continued our conversation and waited—only to realize 20 minutes later that this bag was actually our food after directly asking the service worker.

There was no communication, no acknowledgment, and the entire vibe made it very clear that we weren’t wanted there. Hoping it was just because they were about to close, I asked if the restaurant closed at 10 pm (@ around 9:55) He told me they actually close at 11. That confirmed the odd, passive-aggressive treatment had nothing to do with closing time.

The food might be fine, but the service was dismissive and unwelcoming enough that it ruined the experience. We...

Kid wanted Gai Jai chicken. Drove all the way down to find out they went out of business. After some tears, she agreed to try the place that opened up in its place, Green Chillitos.

We tried the Chicken Tinga platter, the carnita platter, and shrimp Platter.

The Carnitas was the best damn carnitas I've ever had. Many times it's bland, or greasy. This was neither. Seasoned well and texture was perfect.

The chicken Tinga had that awesome char flavor with the sauce they use.

The rice,.Pico de Gallo, and guacamole all seemed fresh and packed a great flavor.

He gave us each a drink. Hochata (think a drinkable rice pudding), mango pineapple drink, and a Jamaican sorrel flower drink. All extremely tasty. He also gave us a sample of their sauces (green, red, and mole). All really good.

Great addition to the food scene here. Anxious to try their tacos...

OMG… I don’t know where to begin. Looking at all the positive reviews we decided to go to this place. First, I would advise everybody to please check your receipts before paying because the cost on the menu is different than what he charges when giving you your bill. We noticed this after we had paid the and when we questioned him, he said “oh the prices have not been updated on his menu, but they are updated on the website”. This is not true. The cost is the same on the website, google and physical menu in restaurant. Also, I don’t understand why while dining in should the website price matter. When we called him later after checking out the website prices, he got really upset & abusive on the phone. Never going back here. Kitchen was filthy in the back ... got to see this mess on the walk to...
