Green Chile Kitchen

Green Chile Kitchen

Located at 1801 McAlister Street, Green Chile Kitchen is only a few blocks away from USF and serves great New Mexican dishes with their signature chili and peppers.  According to their website, they opened up in 2006 and have a few locations.  The owners of Green Chile Kitchen also own Chile Pie which has a location on McAlister as well.  I have been going to Green Chile Kitchen since freshman year and it’s a great place for students to just walk to from campus and just get a casual affordable meal that’s great for lunch or dinner.  The lunch prices at Green Chile Kitchen are obviously a little cheaper than the dinner prices and I recommend this place for either time.  On a college students budget, the lunch prices might be a better option.  But if you want to bring your girlfriend or boyfriend on a nice dinner date, this restaurant has the kind of atmosphere and food that is great for that as well.  My favorite thing to get when I go to Green Chile Kitchen would definitely have to be their roasted chicken.  You can order a quarter or a half chicken if you want and the dish also comes with tortilla so I love making little tacos as well.  Rice and black beans usually come with most dishes.  The black beans are a must at Green Chile Kitchen, definitely one of the favorites for a lot of the customers who frequent here.  This restaurant also offers many healthy options such as their grains and greens salad and ta few vegan options.  With many healthy and affordable options, and only being a few blocks away from USF, this is a great option for USF students who want to maybe take a break from cafeteria food and get off campus.
