I ordered take out .. it was suppose to be cheese dip with sausage and 2 tacos with sour cream !!! The cheese dip did not have the sausage in it , and it was poorly packaged . They didnt secure the dip inside of a enclosed container . They loosely placed it in a foldable , styrofoam , to-go plate which caused the cheese to spill out before i could even eat it. they made sure to charge me full price for my order but didn’t put i in much effort into preparing or properly packaging the dip. I wouldn’t recommend them for take-out , maybe dine in ….the tacos were good though

2nd time I have ever posted. Walked in and very few interior lights were on. Overhead strand lights were not on it was dark. I sat next to a window so I could see my food. Ordered the house margarita which comes in only 1 size. (Later to find out it was $12.95 which is high in my opinion) it was definitely a pre made mix. For food I got chicken fajitas. The absolute worse fajitas I have ever eaten as far as flavor. They tasted like they were cooked in tomato sauce. Lastly the waitress could not speak any English and had to get someone from the bar to translate. Horrible experience I will not ever be back.

Great service! Pool tables, their sex on the beach the best! I love their breaded shrimp, bistec ala mexicana, pizza puffs w fries (only place that carries these in town), and honestly all their tacos are great! Great place to cash a few beers and chill, very mexican authebtic place has juke box playing most of time and always has soccer games on the screen if anyone is playing. Beautiful waitresses also everytime I go.

Aside from the music being just a little loud, It was great! The food was authentic, portions were large and super tasty, and the house salsa is top notch. I would literally go back just for that salsa. You can also enjoy a game of pool before, after or during your dining experience. They have a full bar as well.

This was by far the worst experience I have had since Covid-19! The food was horrible but the drinks were on point. My friend asked for our checks the waitress bought us one check totaling $118. My friend told here we were on separate checks. The waitress looked at us confused. My friend then stated we’re not lesbians—she replied “oh”! After surveying the restaurant we realized we were the only female couple there. Everyone else were males! No big deal we just wanted separate checks. The waitress returned 10 minutes later with our check written on a napkin now totaling $84! We had 6 tacos at the price of $3 each plus some queso which was $6. 2 double shots and 2 beers! No way this totals $118! After asking for an itemized receipt the waitress calls the manager who in turns tells her and the security guard we are okay to go! By Far The Worst Experience Ever!

Starting off good- the chips and salsa, delicious. Guacamole and cheese dip? Delicious. Everything else was just kind of ok. Nothing too spectacular, but not bad. Until I received my check- I went up to the bar and it took about ten minutes for them to return my card to me and I got the receipt- which wasn’t itemized and they charged us over $100 for three meals… that were all under $15 each! I asked them how it was this much but they didn’t respond. We were already running late so after me asking to see the itemized receipt three or four times, I just paid and left. I just won’t be coming back- this dinner was highway robbery for food that’s just ok.

Service was awful. We all got a $2 tax despite ordering complete different things. For reference, the state tax in Alabama is 4%, so our tax should’ve been around 60 cents. We all probably ordered around $10 worth of food. After talking to the manager, he denied taking advantage of us, told us to “fuck off” and even threatened to beat us up. Worst experience ever.

My girlfriend called and ordered food from here a few days ago because this restaurant was within walking distance of the hotel we are temporarily staying at (because we are, unfortunately without transportation at the moment). After ordering our food (which totaled $38.91), I started the almost 2 mile walk. Once arriving to the restaurant and telling "Maria" the name on my pick up order, I proceed to pay for our food with FIFTY DOLLARS in rolled quarters. The $50 was for the price of our food PLUS a $11.09 TIP for her because I was giving her the entire five rolls. Well, she informed me that they, El Chile, do not take US currency, apparently, in rolled quarters. On top of that, I truly believe this DEAD ASF restaurant is not fully what it appears to be, but more so a cover up for some other sort of operation, but that's just my opinion. And their food sucks from an experience my girlfriend had from tasting her mom's food from them the very next day after this happened.

This place has redeemed my hope in good Mexican food in Alabama. The guacamole is amazing. The langua tacos won me over; so tender. I'm in love with this place and just so thrilled it exists. Oh yeah, plus the music was great and they have a bar and pool tables with soccer games going.

Food is always so delicious and they cook to order so its nice and always fresh. Orders are served with salsa and chips on the side. And the music is also bomb, tv's are usually on laliga, futbol (soccer in the US). They have pool tables and space to do a 2-step if you are feeling the vibes. I ordered an enchilada with rice and beans and it was so satisfying and fulfilling. Definitely scratched my itch for authentic latin cuisine! And coming from Los Angeles I definitely crave it often, this has become my new daytime, lunching, anytime, and late night spot! 🤤 Will be returning soon to indulge again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Bravo!!

Nice bar. Great food that was quickly served. The staff was very friendly. And they have POOL TABLES!! So we stayed a little longer and played a few games. Smoking is allowed inside, so keep that in mind if you prefer nonsmoking. Great place to relax, grab a drink, and a bite to eat.

He has a great authentic Mexican restaurant here. I always like coming in here and feeling welcome. The food is very good and fulfilling. I love the homemade pepper sauce (what I call it) in the red bottle, and the soups have the entire chicken leg in them too! I have been coming here almost three years now.
