We started with their guacamole, which was an ample, extra-tasty portion with house-made chips. I moved on to their (spicy) molé chicken. The heat level was just right--for me, and I'm from Oklahoma, where spicy food reigns. Again, husband said it was authentic, and that was true of his enchiladas with a smoky, spicy red sauce. The interior is modest and the music was fun (mariachi--a welcome respite from Christmas tunes) and the proprietors are genial. It merits a return trip and we plan to make it. This is NOT Tex-Mex and that's a good thing.

They really should bottle that stuff! Hubs ordered the blackstone benedict, featuring their poblano cream sauce. Absolutely outstanding! Even the classic muffin, egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich was tasty. They also serve great coffee, freshly roasted just down the block at their sister shop, Nest. We appreciated the free refills while dining in too! This is a special spot for people who enjoy good flavorful food. Don't miss it.

Oddly enough, I am visiting in Burlington and nothing is really open late, so I went to chilis two nights in a row after work because nothing else was open. The first time, service, food and drinks were fine. Second night, we sit down, customer service is great, drinks come out, we get maybe two sips before one of the servers comes out in a panic saying that there's an electrical fire in the kitchen and everyone needs to evacuate asap!! Everyone goes outside and waits for the fire dept. the fire dept comes but they don't clear the fire. An employee (whom I thought was the manager because he was making announcements) says that they're probably going to have to close for the night and he apologies. This is after waiting 15 to 20 mins outside. He tells me that he'll give a $25 gift card for the inconvenience and to just call or come back by. I called but no answer. I come by today and explain all of this to the hostess who then offers to get the MOD. LOU comes out and just stands at the host stand like a jackazz. No hello or anything so I assume he's just there looking for something. He literally SAYS NOTHING TO ME but is shuffling through menus. I ask him if he's the manager, he says "YEA" with a terrible attitude but says nothing else. I ask if the young lady told him what happened or if u should start from the beginning. He says, "she said you want a gift card" -- again with a nasty attitude. I then smile to suppress my complete irritation because he's being a jerk for no reason. I explained the situation again and before I could finish he cuts me off and says "I can give you a $5 gift card. Two of them." I'm like, are you okay? Do these come out of your check? It's a lot of huffing and puffing and disgusting looks for no reason. Anyway... I left the $5 gift card on the counter and told him to have a nice day. If you hate your job, Lou... quit! Also, Chili's needs to do some random drug and alcohol screening... Lou doesn't seem well.

It's a small spot with a classic mom-and-pop vibe, which we really enjoyed. We ordered the yam tacos and a chicken quesadilla. The service was friendly, though the food did take quite a while to come out. Once it did arrive, everything was very good and definitely hit the spot. Overall, we liked the food and would return. However, make sure to check your bill before leaving. We didn't notice until afterward that our total for tacos, a quesadilla, and two waters came to $44.02. My husband ordered his quesadilla plain and asked if the usual toppings (salsa, guacamole, and sour cream) came with it and could be put on the side. We were told they were included--but we were still charged extra for each topping, adding almost $5 to our bill. While the food and service were good and we'd go back, being charged extra for items that were supposed to come with the meal was disappointing. Just be sure to review your check closely so you don't end up with unnecessary upcharges.

It pains me to write this review, but after many major fails, I have to speak up, because, there is something rotten in the state of Vermont. This local franchise has rested on it laurels for years, and very often deserved; but over the past two years it has gone downhill, so far in fact, it's basically a rest area pit toilet. My most recent order is in the photos, but the general experience is the same between the South Burlington and Williston locations: hope, disappointment, and disgust. The South Burlington locations specializes in extremely overcooked chicken sandwiches and sad, soggy fries. I gave up on that location months ago. Earlier tonight, I gave the Williston location another chance; well, we all make mistakes. To say it was disgusting and inedible is an understatement, but the presentation was just plain creepy - (see photos) - it looked like someone tore off/ate a piece of the over-sized nugget they sold as a "chicken breast" sandwich. All of my "just doesn't look right" sensors went off. This was very, very unsettling. I put it in the trash where it belongs. I'm very upset that I spent my money and literally had to throw it away. The burger would have been salvageable (if i wasn't already creeped out by the "chicken sandwich" with a chunk missing). Besides, they put a cup of mayo on it. They put so much mayo on it, it not only liquefied the bun, but had begun liquefying the cardboard box it was in! This place is typical Burlington, Vermont mentality. Completely self-absorbed, self-important, and self-righteous - they think their stuff does not stink - and have no ability to process constructive criticism. Honestly, don't wasn't your time and money here. Go to Al's French Fries (Williston Road, South Burlington) if you want truly good, local, and sanitary food. Go to McDonald's if you can't get to Al's. Either way, you will get better food than at this self-righteous, stoned-out/"vibed-out," incompetent clown show.

My neighbors & I are woken by blaring contemporary music. I'm not a fan but let's be honest it's probably not considered the most banging music of all time. The car will be on its way soon & I can go back to sleep. Right? Nope! The music continues blaring, so I'm up now. I see a text from my neighbor. He's pretty unhappy and reports the music is coming from a food truck. One of the gentlemen in my building went outside to investigate where the music was coming from & discovered it's the El Gato Cantina food truck bumping his music from a sub. He says a guy working in the truck told him to eff-off. I guess contemporary music can be banging cuz it's certainly rocking my bedroom windows. And the people who vibe out to it aren't calm sweet souls. It's pouring rain, I get my dog suited up & we head outside for a morning wee. Upon walking outside I realize just how loud this sound system is & I decide to kindly ask them to turn down the music. Maybe a female will get a different response. I knock on the open front door. There's a man holding a broom. I ask "Can u plz turn that down, it's not even 9AM sir" This rude entitled jerk waves his hand at me as if I'm a gnat, and responds. " yeah yeah, get the F out of here." I respond with, "sir This is our neighborhood and you woke many of us up can u plz turn it down." I walked away. I have no desire to hang around to see what other profanity he's planning to throw my way. I waited a good 10 minutes or so and when the music kept blaring, I stood in front of his truck and called SAPD. He turned it down before the cruiser got there. But seriously? This is how your business treats our community? You expect us to want anything to do with your business? Honestly, stay in Burlington/Essex with that nonsense. Saint Albans at 7:30 AM on a Saturday morning is not the place for you. This business is not in it to serve our community. I highly recommend giving this food truck a pass.
