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.

This is the most flavorful and interesting Mexican food in the Valley. The staff were wonderful, especially our waitress who knew the menu so well. Location is a little sketchy, but a great place to eat and drink at very high quality.

Wife and I decided on date night here. Food is great and very Unique. Dessert was amazing. Service was incredibly slow. Sat for 5-6 mins before we got greeted. We knew what we wanted by the time someone said hello yet we weren’t asked to order. Server took the order of the table behinds us that sat almost 10 mins after we did before she got our drinks. Food came out before our drinks did. Drinks took 20+ mins. Server checked on us once our plates were cleared. WE asked for a dessert menu. I sat my card on the table to close the check and she still asked if we wanted to split the bill??? She was attentive with others just not us. No manager in sight if they have any..

Four of us went for an early dinner at 5:30 on a Saturday night. The place was quiet when we got there, and hopping when we left about 90 minutes later. Our server was friendly and attentive and very knowledgeable about the food, wine, cocktails, and menu. The atmosphere is funky and fun, with a hip, young crowd there to enjoy themselves. Best thing we ordered were the crab empanadas and the butternut squash flautas with mole. The mole was complex and rich, like nothing I've ever tasted before. Amazing. One of us ordered the special for the evening, a tomahawk style porkchop that he said was delicious. Our group had 4 entrees,, 2 appetizers, 1 cocktail, 2 NA beers, and 6 glasses of wine, and our bill was a little under $400 before tip. A splurge of a meal for sure, but a great wrap up for our 9-day trip out west.
