Chilito's

Was expecting good authentic Mexican food while visiting in Las Cruces. It was the worst. 3 Tortillas were tiny and if you need more (and you will) there is an up charge. Chicken and beef were brought out very burnt and I couldn't get it off the sizzling platter as I was not given a plate which added to my frustration. Side order of guacamole was good but is not served with chips and there is a charge for chips if you want them. Service was very slow and we waited a long time for our check after our waitress removed the empty dishes. Just a bad experience and we will not go back.

Always a fiasco every time we try to eat here, and it just continues to get worse and worse. The service is lousy. The staff is horrible!! They ignore you and would rather argue with you than try to correct their mistakes. The fries are always old and cold, or raw and crunchy. The food is dry and tasteless across the board. I would NOT recommend wasting your money here. The food is way over priced for the quality of service and food you get. There are several other places in town that offer better food, service, and prices. They have also started decreasing the portion sizes and increased their prices. $20 for two orders of french fries with queso is highway robbery.

Another must hit when we visit. The flavors are wonderful and we left stuffed! We grazed in their chips and salsa and ordered some guacamole. Their salsa has the best flavor--it's absolutely addicting. And the guac was smooth and delicious with some lettuce chunks and fresh white onion strings if you wanted a little texture. My son and I get their sopapilla compuesta (Christmas). That meal is huge! And the meat just melts in your mouth. My wife goes for their green enchiladas (stacked). She had to also get sour cream because their green was a little hot for her. Still tasty and she still loves it. My in-laws go for their red enchiladas (stacked) with an egg on top. They like them here the best in the valley. And, of course, you have to finish the meal with an order of sopapillas (cinnamon sugar or plain). Absolutely delicious!

Ordered the shredded beef folded tacos. The taco shells were so hard my jaw was hurting. Than the shredded beef was so dry it was like sand paper as well as not being seasoned. The beans have no flavor and the rice is sad. My daughters beef fajita burrito was also a huge disappointment. The beef was very over cooked and dry. It was mostly filled with burnt mushrooms, my daughter picked at it. Waste of money especially when I can go to del taco and get a loaded chicken burrito for $6. Compared to this place at $14. Never coming back!
