Hatch Chile Express

Over the holiday weekend, we made a day trip to Hatch, from LC, specifically to,pick up roasted green chilies. Bought a 40lb bag & had them roaster & peeled to avoid the hassle. Easy transaction, the Chilis are delicious. Also bought pecans. Yummy too. Hatch Chili eExpress is now my go-to for fresh chili, even though I can get them here in Phoenix.

This is one of the first shops you'll see coming from the north and highly marketed on Yelp, Google, and YouTube. However, I realized I could have bought dried chile powder alot cheaper at other more obscure stores down the road. However, this store did have a nice cookbook I didn't see elsewhere and other interesting finds. Be sure to take photos of the tall statue of the Muffler Man and giant chile pepper outside. The town of Hatch has a bunch of cute statues like this

When on my recent visit to New Mexico I made it a must to stop in Hatch and enjoy some of their famous Chile. My first stop was Hatch Chile Express and boy they did not disappoint! This shop has everything Chile you never knew you needed! I got a beautiful Chile ristra and lots of spices, seasonings and gift items. Now let's get down to the star of the show ... the Hatch green Chile's. They offer them packaged frozen to go. The ladies working in the shop are also extremely nice friendly and helpful.

Cute store!!! So glad I stopped and found this place. I bought quite a bit of Hatch chile salsas and goodies. I want to drive back thru just to pick up some more chile salsas. If traveling through make a pit stop and check this place out.

Ordered five pounds of their Big Jim frozen chiles. Arrived in an insulated box. Still frozen, hard as a rock. I haven't used any of them yet; but looking forward to making Chile verde when the weather cools a little bit.

Amazing service and such a good selection. Prices were good and the whole place smelt heavenly. Especially if you love spice. They had candy, ceramics, dried peppers, frozen peppers, cheese. You name it, it was there.

Great store to buy frozen chile and chile powder during the chile off season. During the chile season, you can buy fresh chile and have them roast it for you. They will put it in cooler which we took home and packaged up ourselves.The gift shop also sells great New Mexico gift items: kitchen utensils, t-shirts, jewelry, salsa, jelly/jam, and other Nono love-knacks.Staff is very friendly.

I enjoyed this little gift shop. Of all the places we stopped, this one had the nicest gifts. The lady that checked us out was friendly and told us some other places to visit in town.

Chiles galore! Staff is very friendly! The store has anything you could want with chiles! I got a wine glass and a magnet. We bought some frozen roasted green chiles to use at home!

When in New Mexico, you *must* sample the chile. Red or green? Your choice - or try both - chile goes on or with everything. If you are in the southern part of the state, it is real treat to visit Hatch, the center of New Mexico's chile universe.The highlight for us is Hatch Chile Express, which features anything imaginable related to chiles. From frozen to dried chile, ristas, wreaths, tasteful souvenirs - they have everything a chile cooking chef needs. During July 2008 we bought a few items to take with us and had a couple of boxes mailed to our home. The shipped items arrived well-packed and have given us nearly a year's worth of chile enjoyment.Hatch Chile Express is most highly recommended. We will certainly return.
