The saddest chimichanga ever. No salsa on the side, just a bunch of lettuce and a pile of cilantro. No refried beans, no rice, no extra queso. Was not given my change upon paying with cash, nor did i receive a receipt.
Pretty disappointing experience overall. I’m from LA and used to great Mexican food, both from high-end spots and small hole-in-the-wall places, so I had higher expectations. I ordered the chimichanga, which is usually one of my favorite dishes, but this one was dry, thick, and lacked flavor. It tasted more like an oversized spring roll than a proper chimichanga. The highlights were honestly the Coca-Cola and the tamarind candy. Service was friendly, so no issues there, but the food just didn’t hit the mark for me. Unless I’m extremely hungry or coming off a rough night, I probably won’t be back.
I ordered two tacos with chicken and got scrapes of chicken cilantro and onion. This place is a joke. From someone who has lived out west they would never survive on this. The chicken was super dry and very little spices. Gross. Grumpy gringo and other places near bye have better orptiins.
It’s hard to find authentic Mexican food in St Pete, especially at reasonable prices. Chili Verde always delivers on quality, price and service. I take my guys there whenever we are in the area and they all crave it afterwards. They don’t hype on weird, innovative toppings or flavors that take away from the simplicity of just a good, simple and generous portions like authentic Mexican food should be.
We ate there once last year and it was great! Came there this time and it was kind of a weird mix between traditional Spanish and Indian. We all felt... Blah after eating there as well. Not sure how I feel about the cold mozzarella on top of a chimichanga.
