Chile Verde Mexican Restaurant

Definitely went with high expectations, specially there's not that many Mexican places in winter haven , so let's try this place .... Well ... we order some steak ranchero and steak in green sauce , lady tell us after we order 2 min later that they don't have steak anymore ( really ? Bad inventory ) so then we order the shrimp fajitas and breaded shrimp , the fajitas there were nice , but the breaded shrimp totally disappointed, was brought with pieces of jalapeños breaded , was not that good , place look a little dirty inside and service was not that great ... I hate to shut down the door to places , but this one definitely I'm not coming back to try seconds ...

NEVER AGAIN!!!! The outside sign is missing letters, happy hour light is on by drive thru window(which they have no happy hour), half the material on booths are old n NEED REPLACING, derive n food awful!!!We ordered enchilada combo it was ok..ordered burrito:tamale combo had sauce on it n didn't know because not stated in menu sent back to have remade n something besides burrito n tamale on plate!!! Other item on plate was meat half rolled on corn tortilla with cheese. Later the tamale showed up!!! The meat inside of burrito n other item was boring nothing exciting...Employees standing around talking n not checking on customersThe place needs updating food better n better staff!!!Won't be back I can make better Mexican food at home n save my money!!!

Moved to Winter Haven a couple months ago and have been looking for a place to eat tacos! Found this Mexican restaurant and boy, are we happy!My husband got the molcajete that has everything in it...chorizo, cactus, chicken, shrimp and steak with tortillas and beans and rice on the side. I got the Carne asada tacos with rice and beans on the side. When we first sat down we were promptly brought chips and salsa. Chips were fresh and warm and the salsa as to be expected. When our main dishes came out, our first bites had us dancing in our seats. The flavor of the meats are so good. Everything tender and tasty in their natural juices. I don't know what kind of salsa they gave with the tacos but it was on point. A little on the spicey side but delicious! It was such a good portion of serving we both had boxes for leftover take homes. There were only 2 servers while we were there but they were both very nice and attentive. The restaurant seating feels a little close and crowded and the restaurant itself is a bit outdated but don't let that deter you. The food is spot on and I am confident to say that this may soon become a local favorite of ours.

This was our first time visiting Chile Verde. Our host was very helpful when we asked questions. The dining room is clean and welcoming. The best part was our food. Absolutely DELICIOUS!! We be returning.

Great food and great service! Tacos carne asada are excellent. Chips and salsa are also good. Ask for the white dipping cheese. Excellent.

We had the taco salad, and lunch specials burrito and quesadillas. All delicious! Salsa is yummy and has a kick. Definitely recommend!

Why's this place such a secret? Great food and amazing service, with affordable prices.Nothing fancy, but I found this restaurant to be excellent! I only ate 1/4 of my burrito and my partner had the flutas, which were delicious. I wish the had carnitas, though.We have a new neighborhood restaurant when we have a yen for Mexican food.Way better than that (shall remain nameless) overpriced place on Cypress Gardens Blvd that used to be our favorite.

This place has the best Mexican food in the county perhaps the entire US of A! The white cheese dip with chips is the bomb! The staff is attentive and professional! The food is excellent and very flavorful! Don't listen to these other stupid reviews yes the building is not great but guess what I'm not eating the damn building! My Brazilian family loves it as well and it's all they want when we go out!

Food was tasteless, service was quick and food was piping hot because the plates were on fire!! I grew up in Chicago and had some of the best Mexican restaurants in walking distance in every direction! Even when we moved to Indiana we had better choices of places to eat than here in Florida. Sorry but don't bother if you're seeking a tasteful meal!

I've eaten here before but I guess I just never reviewed Chile Verde. I remembered it being pretty goodIt's located the movie theater in Winter Haven. Honestly, the outside looks horrible but the inside is your typical Mexican cowboy decor. I ordered the lunch #8, with a burrito and taco with beans. My husband ordered the. #7, fried burrito with rice and beans. The food is hot and delicious. We got our food within 5 minutes of ordering but we also walked in the minute they opened. We started with the bean dip, creamy refried beans covered with queso. It adds a depth to the Queso that is sooo good! You have to try it. The lunch specials are $8-$12, and you get plenty of food. Ignore the run down look on the outside because this is a surprising hidden gem on the inside.
