Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Lawrence Smith

From the OpenTable editors: Both Bon Appétit and Esquire named Chilte one of the hottest openings of 2023 for its ever-changing "new-school" Mexican fare that rocks fresh tortillas, seasonal produce, and creative takes on family recipes, like the mole de la casa that switches out different flautas and sauces. The accolades keep rolling in for chef Lawrence “LT” Smith, who made Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs list in 2024.

                Went on a Wednesday so they had half off bottles of wine. Nice selection. Ordered items to share and all were very good and flavorful. A little expensive for what you r cover. Service was good not great since we were one of two tables.

                Everything was fantastic! The flavors, the presentation and the quality are all top notch! I could eat the Birria tacos every day!! And the white sangria was the perfect drink on a hot day. This was our second time here and there will definitely be a third.

                Chilte is located on Grand and 7th Avenue. There is no parking lot for patrons. We had to parks 21/2 blocks away in a neighborhood that felt unsafe. We were glad we arrived during daylight hours. I The restaurant had our reservations and seated us immediately. The music is very loud but most patrons seemed to like it. The food was amazing. I am not sure we would return due to the location and lack of parking. Taking an Uber would be advisable. The meal was pricey but very good.

                Amazing staff behind Chilte. We’ve been eating their food since they were just a food truck and it just keeps getting better and better. They have dishes there you won’t see anywhere else. Much respect to team behind Chilte

                This is our second time back and it was equally amazing. Chilte does not disappoint! The yuca fries are heavenly, the perfect starchy treat dipped in a mild yuzu aioli. The vegetarian birria tacos are a must! Make sure to ask for the spicy salsa.

                Delicious variety of small plates and appetizers. We had an early dinner before a concert and service was prompt and efficient. Definitely planning a return for a dinner when we have more time to relish the various dishes.
