Hidden away within a Sinclair gas station on South Rainbow Boulevard, Chile Verde Mexican Grill may not catch the eye immediately, but this small establishment is a hidden treasure in the bustling Las Vegas culinary landscape. For those who appreciate the thrill of discovering extraordinary dining experiences in unexpected locations, Chile Verde stands as a delightful testament to that belief.
On my recent visit, I found myself craving something truly indulgent and decided to try their chimichanga burrito—the top-tier item on the menu, priced at $12.95. From the moment it landed on my table, I knew I had made an exceptional choice. The burrito was presented beautifully, with a golden, crisp exterior that glistened under the restaurant lights, showcasing the meticulous grilling technique that had transformed it into a flawless work of culinary art.
As I took my first bite, a symphony of bold and lively flavors erupted in my mouth. The exterior was satisfyingly crunchy, giving way to a treasure trove of savory ingredients nestled within. It was evident that every component of the burrito had been thoughtfully chosen; the seasoned meats were perfectly marinated, providing depth and richness that was harmonized by a glorious blend of melted cheese and zesty salsa. The spices and seasonings were not just present—they were vibrant and vivacious, each layer of flavor unfolding like the chapters of a well-crafted novel.
This chimichanga transcended the typical burrito experience; it was an artistry of taste and texture. The grilling technique not only enhanced the flavor profiles but also locked in the delightful contrast between the crunchy exterior and the tender, flavorful filling. Chile Verde has undoubtedly mastered the delicate balance of bold flavors and finesse, making every bite a revelation.
For anyone in Las Vegas seeking a culinary adventure with a discerning palate, this restaurant is a must-visit destination that promises an unforgettable...
Read moreHi, as I was stopping by for a pit stop I noticed this place was open. I approached the menu they have on the side wall and I was greeted by the chef. He said "Hey! you can't stand there." I replied, "Oh, sorry I was just reading the menu". I quickly started backing away from the menu while still trying to read it cause I was Hungry! LOL. Well I guess I didn't move fast enough for him and he told me once again "move from there or I'll call the cops!" (mind you this all happened with-in a minute). I didn't like that so I said "Call the cops for what, for reading a menu?" "You know it's not illegal to read a menu at a restaurant and I'm not even behind your counter. You know what thanks for the service bye!" As I started walking out he started following me so I stopped and turned around "why are you following me?" I told him, "Get out before I call the cops" he replied. "I'm on my way out man you don't have to get hostile" He turned back and went to his register and stood there looking at me.
As I reached the front door the chef started yelling again but this time we didn't want me to leave - "why are you leaving? Aren't you going to stay for the cops?" "For what? to waste mine and their time, no thank you bye" I replied as I turned to face him. While I got one last look at him he was still yelling non sense but this time he was grabbing his genital and throwing up what I believe are some gang signs.
I was standing on the right of the menu. I had half a foot in and my body was a little hunch over to read.
TLDR: One of the chefs likes trouble and grabs his genitals while on the job. He might have been drunk cause he was...
Read moreThe food here is excellent, delicious, yummy, and all the other things you might say about a ...wait for it... restaurant/take out/taqueria located in a fuel depot. In its defense however this is no regular fuel depot. This place has gambling (duh), a post office, and a car wash, oil change, smog, and in the Summer (sometimes) shaved ice.
Everything my family and I have eaten here has been delicious, they LOVE the carne asada fries! I LOVE the "little-donkeys" and the "cheese sandwiches" so to speak.
We used to go here much more often, however ordering for a large family takes the one man show quite a while to make (and time IS of the essence these days right?) as well as the biggest blow of all to me... he only accepts CA$H now... no more debit, no more credit. I don't know about you, but even in this gambling town I pretty much don't carry any cash (FYI would be pickpockets/thieves).
So, if you are flush with cash, have lots of time, and want really good food to go, this is a great place to get it from.
PS- the salsa, when he says hot is hot... he means it. My tabasco drinking days are behind me, however I can rest assured telling you, their red salsa is so hot, it is almost unpleasant to eat it on your food.
Take care, don't wait up...
