"We have been going to Chile Verde for years. It is our taste of New Mexico when we can't get to the Santa fe and environs. Great food, really good margaritas, and nice people. I am not sure what else people could want.": – Joshua D., Columbus, OH
"Not just our favorite mexican... but favorite restaurant by a mile! Totally in love with the queso dip... fajitas, chips & salsa, key lime pie, brownie dessert... YUM! We use any excuse we can to get over to Chile Verde. Keep up the great work!": – Peter and Tiffany E., Westerville, OH
"Chile Verde is hands down the BEST Mexican restaurant I have ever been too!!! I love the staff! They are kind, courteous, and fun! Tom, the owner, is a doll. I have never tried anything anywhere like the BBQ quesadilla. There is nothing else like it! The queso is the absolute best in town, and the salsa is to die! I have stopped eating at any other Mexican restaurant because it does not TOUCH the quality or goodness of the food at CV!!! CV rocks!!!": – Amy E., Columbus, OH
"Was traveling through the area and decided to give Chile Verde Cafe a try. Was pleasantly surprised to find the food well prepared and served, and the margaritas were fabulous. Also, the service was GREAT! We'll definitely stop by the next time we're in the area.": – Herbert M., Silver Spring, MD
"We are big fans! Every visit has been great and the food is wonderful. Service also gets high marks and owner/managers are always friendly and usually stop by the table. We have been in the CHILeCLUB, and go there often.": – Sharon P., Powell, OH
"This is the best Southwestern Cuisine you can find in the city. It is equally as affordable as the competitor (who has multiple locations throughout the city) and far better quality and value. The food is fresh and flavorful; the decor is appropriate and tasteful. Plus: BEST.TAMALES.EVE": – Melissa N., Grove City, OH
"We can't get enough of Chili Verde! Seriously, we make up excuses to eat there. We bring out of town guests. The food is so good, the salsa.. wow... the nacho's...MMM... I really love the blue corn enchilladas. Ok, that's not fair, the fajitas are out of this world. The spicy ground beef is so flavorful. When they say spicy, they don't mean you'll sweat, they mean flavor. Sure, maybe it's hot, but what you notice is the flavor. They seem to use only the best ingredients. Yeah, I guess you could say I like the place... go there, eat, be happy. You won't regret it.": – Jeff M., Columbus, Ohio
"Since moving away from Columbus, one of the things I miss most (apart from family & friends) are blue corn enchiladas at Chile Verde. It's always a special treat to come home and enjoy a night out here, knowing I'll get my "fix" and find exceptional service on top of that... I look forward to visiting again soon!": – Elizabeth R., Washington, DC
"I worked in Albuquerque while I was an OSU student. We lived in El Paso, TX, for 5 years and spent every Thanksgiving in Albuquerque or Santa Fe. After moving to Columbus, we searched high and low for true southwestern cuisine. We were blessed when a former Chile Verde waitress from Albuquerque told us that we had to try it. Now we come back from Maryland to spend our Thanksgivings at Chile Verde as a fond reminder of those New Mexico days. We now live near Washington, D.C., and there is still no comparison to Chile Verde for the best food east of New Mexico. We come here every chance we get.": – Sara S., Frederick, Maryland
"Chile Verde is a one-of-a-kind cafe that in unbeaten in Southwestern cuisine in Columbus. The green chile stew is amazing! The salsa and queso are also top-notch. The service is excellent and Tom is always happy to see you.": – Kristi C., Columbus, Ohio
"Chile verde is excellent...the enchiladas and the chips are to die for...also the customer service is superb...the food is delicious point blank": – Rakim R., Los Angeles, California
"My wife and I have been regular patrons of Chile Verde since the restaurant first opened, about 20 years ago. From the beginning, we were hooked on the house Margaritas. And we also enjoyed the "New Mexican" cuisine, as opposed to the so-called Mexican cuisine that folks can find just about everywhere. For those who have been to Santa Fe, Albequerque, and Taos, the menu at Chile Verde will look familiar. There are not many places in Columbus to get spoapillas. Chile Verde does a great execution of these truly New Mexican treats. Chile Verde is one of our "regular" favorites in Columbus.": – Bob C., Columbus, Ohio
"Chile Verde is my favorite mexican restaurant of all time, I couldn't imagine going anywhere else! All the dishes that I have tried have been amazing, there is nothing bad to say about Chile Verde!": – Jayme Y., Columbus, Ohio
"The barbecue fajita burrito is so amazing that my wife and I have to eat here every time we come back to visit friends in Columbus (moved away 2 years ago). Please come to Bloomington to teach the local restaurants how to make some great tasting quality food.": – Kevin K., Bloomington, Indiana
"Chile Verde is the BEST Mexican Restaurant in Columbus. First and foremost, everything is made FRESH, from the soups to the salads to the fajitas. The best testimonial was their waiting lines on the weekends getting into the door. Since you have opened up the larger dining and bar area, you can draw in larger crowds and a place to come and enjoy a happy hour or an evening night cap with friends! Great food + Great prices = Returning Loyal Customers! At Chile Verde' you make fantastic dining out fun and affordable on a regular basis! No wonder we've been coming back for years!": – Barb Y., Columbus, Ohio
"This is our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE place to eat. My only negative comment - it's too far from home. If it were closer, we'd be there daily. We love spicy food and they have it. Our favorites are the chicken burritos, spicy beef tacos, pinto beans, potatoes, and MY favorite are the crab cakes - best ever.": – KyLynn S., Columbus, Ohio
"Chile Verde is as close to the southwest that you can get without boarding a plane. The food takes us to Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Phoenix everytime we visit. The blue corn tortillas and green chile are authentic New Mexico tastes.": – Tim M., Hilliard, Ohio
"I had a 50th birthday party at Chile Verde for my husband. The staff did an excellent job with the whole party and the food was outstanding. It is great to have a party and not have to worry about a thing - that is how I felt at Chile Verde. The new expansion sure helped to make everything so wonderful. Thanks to Tom and his group on making a great memory!": – Dodi W., Dublin, Ohio
"I love the Santa Fe Chicken. This is my favorite Mexican dish from Chile Verde or any other Mexican restaurant. I also like their margarita specials!": – Mike M., Powell, Ohio

"Chile Verde has all of the right things and none of the wrong things. No pinatas, no cheesy sombrero-shaped light fixtures - just perfectly spiced, beautifully executed dishes. I've never left a morsel of food on my plate.": – Sherri A., Upper Arlington, Ohio
"We hired Chile Verde to do our Rehearsal Dinner catering. Everyone loved the food, the servers on hand were always quick to make sure nothing ran out and they even helped us make their delicious Margaritas! We went in to eat a few weeks after the catered event and it was great to be recognized and greeted so nicely. Incomparably great.": – Gregg H., Dublin, Ohio
