Chili Verde

Amazing people, amazing atmosphere, amazing drinks, and amazing food! The owner Eder greeted us, waited for us, and gave killer recommendations. First time and will be back as much as possible.

Huge disappointment overall: not gonna rate them a 2 just because they seem like good people and the positives were definitely the freshness of the food and the outdoor patio. But man just so overpriced: we were gonna share fajitas and got the chicken/shrimp combo. Wish I would have taken a pic for proof but no like it was barely a 1/2 chicken breast and THREE pieces of shrimp with 3 fajitas and small portions of rice and guac. Beans n peppers were decent. Then they have the audacity to charge for more chips when they come in like an 8 oz little cup and didn't mention it was extra. Marg was huge which was a plus. I'm sorry but with equally as good Mexican places around with much better portion sizes or cheaper prices, we won't be coming back.

I was so looking forward to this restaurant because of all the awesome online reviews but I was greatly disappointed. The ONLY thing good about this place is their food (although on the pricy end and also on the smaller portion side)--but other than that their servers were super slow, did not understand our orders at all (limited English) so my sister had to translate for her friend, then the restrooms were locked up and the worst part is that there was no AC so it was brutally hot inside. We ended up seating ourselves outside but it was still uncomfortable warm. Parking is also very limited here. I don't think I would be coming back to this place in the future.

Googling where to eat before leaving to Greece, why not Mexican! Chile en Nogada caught my eyes and stomach, so we came here and it was close to home. Street parking only, but if there are none you can go park in the residential area. We were the only ones there, but a few more came as we ate. The interior and ambiance was nice and it seems as if they have dancing/salsa nights. The bar took up one side of the restaurant, but it was a bit early for drinks....well for the other table. It was 11am, but I guess it's HH somewhere around the world. They served us chips and salsa, beans, and this hot chili. I read about the chili and oh man, it was eye-watering-nose-dripping delicious lol. *note that chips and salsa is not complimentary. We wanted more chips and that was additional $$. Just FYI. My boyfriend ordered 3 soft tacos and he enjoyed the steak the most, then pork, and chicken. He could've done without chicken and ordered another steak. Obviously I ordered the Chile en Nogada and it lived up to it's hype. It was a tad bit too much for me and my boyfriend was happy with his simple tacos. Will come back again when we crave Mexican. Just glad it's close to home.

The best Mexican restaurant I have visited in Denver, Chili Verde, combines atmosphere with exceptional, genuine food with a Puebla origin. It is genuine and so darn good.Located in Federal Heights near a busy intersection, Chili Verde was an exceptional stop on a Saturday night. The weather was spotty, so we elected to sit inside instead of enjoying their inviting outdoor patio.Greta, our server, was friendly, informative, and kind. She never rushed our foursome and made it a terrific experience. The interior was warm, making the entire visit even better and a very cool mural as a centerpiece. I loved the homemade chips (more, please) accompanied by multiple salsas, one red-hot, and I enjoyed it immensely. But the highlight was my dinner choice, Mole Verde, which was presented extraordinarily well and tasted even better. It was an incredible dish and such a unique meal option. My friends enjoyed their respective meals: crepas poblanos and mole poblano, but I wasn't jealous because my choice was phenomenal.Met the owner (Eder) after this amazing meal, and now I see why the place is so darn good. He is from Puebla, Mexico, and embraces his homeland. The whole staff is kind and professional, reflecting his personality. Without a doubt, coming back. It is too good an experience not to visit more frequently.

On a recent trip to Denver, we decided to give this place a shot after finding it on Yelp. Man, this place was amazing. We will be coming here every time we come to Denver. Everything was great from the service, to the food, to the cost. I'm a huge mole fan, and this is probably my favorite as it's spicy. Chips and salsa were even amazing. After hearing it was our anniversary, they even brought a pink rose out to my wife and also gave us a piece of cake.

I've been here a couple of times now with a larger group (5 of us) and the service has been impeccable. We've been seated immediately both times, and even when it has been busy, the servers, bartender, busser, and chef have all been friendly and helpful. The restaurant is open, clean, and beautiful inside. I'm really burying the lead here, because the food is phenomenal! They have classics that you can find in Mexico. Today I ordered the Chile en Nogada, and ohhh my goodness. I was so impressed! The flavors and textures were very different than anything I've had before... a little bit sweet, a little bit fruity, but also very creamy and savory. I'm excited to come back and get the same thing again! *chef's kiss*

Great food and great service! GO HERE!! I've now been twice and my mouth is watering thinking of it now. We ordered the Chili Verde and my partner said it's the best he's had in Denver! I ordered the chicken flautas and they were crispy and perfectly spiced with just a little kick of heat. The chips and salsa and chorizo beans are a must have and their chips are fresh and thin and delicious! Great bar and great outdoor seating area! I can't wait to go again!

The best part of chili verde is its within walking distance of our house! Their staff are soooo friendly and helpful. They're also super family friendly which makes this mom of 2 much more relaxed. Everything we've had here has been great. It's a great place to hit up before heading to a broncos game. You won't regret stopping by!

Best Mexican food in Denver! Shout out to the chef!! Must try the coconut margarita and the Crepas Poblanas! You have to try this place, it's beautifully decorated. Has great music vibes, not too loud so that you can speak but loud enough to get the Latin vibes flowing. Will keep coming back.
