This is my new favorite place to eat! I'm a fan of Mexican cuisine so of course, it's the 1st type of restaurant I search for when I'm in a new town. 6 months later, I'm still dining here because I've never had a bad experience. Customer service is by far the best! Wait staff are so polite & professional at Chile Rojo that I don't want to try any other Mexican restaurants in Mount Airy. There's simply no need. The restaurant is always clean and the atmosphere is great. Decor is so pretty. I've placed many call in orders & picked up at window and there's never been any issues with our food. I've dined inside a lot and service and food are always great! If you're looking for a great place to eat Mexican cuisine in Mount Airy, look no further than Chile Rojo! read more

Met several friends for lunch today . All meals were very good with fresh food and capable service. The spice level is lower than I prefer but probably is perfect for people who like milder Mexican food. It's beautifully decorated and we were seated immediately. read more

Stopped by here on a Sunday night during a road trip looking for some good food. Even though it was Sunday night, it was bustling. I had their special fajitas with chorizo and chicken and my dining partner had a huge burrito. The food came out very fast and was delicious. They also give free chips and salsa at the table. The only thing we missed was we were not offered any drink menu and didn't see a bar, so not sure if they offer alcoholic drinks. We probably would have ordered margaritas if so. read more

Got the fajitas- no salt & very bland with no flavor whatsoever just tasted slightly burnt. Do not recommend the fajitas maybe something else would have some seasonings added. Food is quite mid to be honest, I got a chicken & shrimp burrito the prior day and about the same thing no seasoning on it. I can't say much for the service or ambiance since I didn't go to pick up the order. Personally I've only eaten here 1-3 times now for good reason. read more

Chile Rojo - Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

The waitress had a pleasant and professional attitude throughout our visit. However, she did not clearly communicate the menu prices, which led to some confusion. We also ordered additional side items that were never received, and our bill included charges for items we did not order. Additionally, both the drink and the queso dip appeared to be watered down and did not meet our expectations. When we attempted to address these issues, the employee at the front desk laughed while we were trying to resolve the situation, which came across as unprofessional and made us feel that our concerns were not being taken seriously. Overall, while the waitress was courteous, the issues with communication, order accuracy, food and beverage quality, and customer service negatively impacted our experience. read more

After a long day of wedding planning, we worked up a serious appetite for Mexican food and a margarita. Chile Rojo had almost 5 stars on Yelp so we went in with high expectations! But let me just tell you, our experience was far from 5 stars. The choriqueso was just ok. The skinny margaritas were fine. The happy chicken was really good and I wish I had ordered that instead of the chicken fajitas. The fajita skillet was good but the side plate of fajita salad was so sloppy. There were dry/crusty pieces of refried beans on the side of the plate which made me think the plate had been sitting under a warmer for a while. Trevor ordered a dish that was listed to include zucchini, broccoli, and other veggies with chicken inside a pineapple. First, the waiter brought out a plate of alfredo pasta (not at all what he ordered). So, he spoke up and repeated what he ordered originally. About 10 minutes later, they brought out a dish with just chicken/pineapple. No veggies at all. So we grabbed a menu to confirm what he had actually ordered and realized the waiter got it wrong again. Instead of apologizing, the waiter showed us the receipt which made it obvious that the waiter keyed the order in wrong. The food was just average and the service was not good at all. We wanted to go to Mi Casa on Main Street but they were closed on Sunday. read more

Mexican food is what was located across the street from our Comfort Inn, and we walked over for a later dinner (7:30) after driving seven hours from our home. I've been to New Mexico and Texas for Mexican food, so we know what to expect. We had warm chips and salsa to start. I ordered the taco salad and a Chile rellano, and hubby had the steak and chicken fajitas. Everything was very good - but I couldn't finish the chili rellano. An extra two tortillas for the fajitas would have been helpful - only two small ones were received. read more

Today was my first time eating at this restaurant. I felt it offered a very nice atmosphere and the restaurant appeared to be very clean, which is always the first thing I notice. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. They have a very good menu selection. She brought out a large basket of chips and salsa. The salsa was good. It was a little more chunky and spicy than expected but I enjoyed it. For lunch I ordered the Carne Asada. It came with cactus salad, which I had never tasted. It looked interesting but I didn't care for it...just my personal taste...too spicy for me. My husband ordered the Chimichanga Combo. He didn't care for the flavor so half way through we switched plates. I actually liked the chimichanga even though the taste was slightly different from what we are used to. He ordered flan for dessert and said it was okay. I really liked their iced tea. I realize that is something that can be taken for granted but I'm picky about my tea. It tasted really fresh making me question if they make it with filtered water. It was brewed the perfect amount of time for my taste. Now, let's talk potty. I despise using a public restroom and try to avoid doing so, however sometimes it's just a necessity. The ladies room was clean but lacked tissue. Fortunately I always carry some in my purse since my mother taught me well. The disinfectant they hang in the bowl was overwhelming. I actually gagged several times and wondered if my lunch was going to stay behind or come along with me. Fortunately, we were able to stay together. I'm not sure if we will return but it's a lovely restaurant and would be worth a try. read more

We had high hopes after eating the cheese dip and salsa. The cheese dip was the perfect consistency and had just enough kick to keep you going back for more. The salsa was ice cold and had a good flavor. Unfortunately that's where the meal peaked. We ordered the chicken California burrito and fajitas with chicken and shrimp. Both were devoid of flavor and definitely not fresh. The California burrito was lukewarm at best, the chicken within it was dry beyond recognition, and there were no vegetables to be found. The chicken and shrimp fajitas were hot and bland. The fajita sides (rice, beans, lettuce, guacamole) were absolutely terrible. The guacamole was brown which suggests that it had been made previously and sat out for a while. The rice and beans tasted like an ashtray so that was very concerning. The entire meal was underwhelming and disappointing after a strong start with the cheese dip and salsa. read more

We ate here twice this week. The staff was nice, but they need some serious training. When asked simple questions about the food, one server just said "I don't know", rather than saying, I'll find out. The tables were NEVER bused. I had to call back the guy handing out new drinks to take the old cups away. When brought new chips, the guy just put the basket on top of the old basket. It was very lazy and our table looked like a mess - which does not give a relaxing setting while enjoying ones dinner. I also think it's strange that beans and rice come on a separate plate than the main items- I .e. Tacos, enchiladas, etc., which makes the table EVEN MORE cluttered. Regarding food, the melted cheese, fajitas, and crunchy tacos are great. The enchiladas need work. They didn't even have cheese on them. If the restaurant wasn't so close to where I needed to be, I probably would never come back. read more

This is one Mt. Airy restaurant that consistently offers good food, friendly, top--notch service and clean surroundings. I eat here on my yearly trek to the Autumn Leaves Festival in October and have yet to be disappointed. On this trip, I went with the standard combo and my buddy chose the Chiles Rojo, a beast of a burrito containing shrimp, beef and chicken covered with white cheese. Both arrived piping hot in about 7 minutes and were delicious. Again service even surpassed food. My only complaint is their tiny rest rooms. read more

Food is always great and service usually is too. We go there every couple of weeks. The portions are huge for the money. A lunch favorite. And supper. Lol. read more

Ordered a simple plate of rice. Plate came out hotter than the fajitas, at least try to make it SEEM like you didn't microwave it!

The food is delicious and service is always friendly & reasonably fast. My family loves the guacomale and queso. My husband gets vegetarian quesadilla and others had fajitas & burritos. All was terrific! Oh., the kids love the kids tropical drinks. They so look forward to them! read more

The service is good, everything is very clean, the ambiance is nice. The food is just ok. I had a large frozen margarita, the chips and salsa, and the Chile rellano dinner. Just not a lot of taste really. Fresh, I think, but not a lot of taste, so for me it is just 3 stars. read more

We live about 25 minutes away from from Chile Rojo and we gladly visit it about once a week. We have been regular customers for at least 7 years. They appear to rotate chefs in & out about every 3 months or so. Most are quite good but even the mediocre ones still make good enough dishes to deliver decent Mexican food. I traveled in Mexico for work for years & I acquired a real appreciation for it. You can always tell when the new chefs arrive by the salsa taste! New ones are usually quite interesting on the positive side. Looks & sounds like an Americanized Mexican restaurant....which is just fine. Service is very active & attentive. read more

The food is always great here. Try the Veggie Special or the Mini Chimi Bites. The restaurant fills up fast, but the wait time is usually pretty short, and the food is definitely worth the wait! read more

I was not impressed, everything was to spicy for the kids, even the kids food. The chips seemed broken and were all from the bottom of the barrel, I thought the staff was really nice, very polite. I got a mojito and it tasted like shit! I don't even know what it taste like! My husbands meal was wrong. I felt like there was no room to walk with out bumping into someone. They were fast but I just felt like I had better. read more

Awesome service and great food . Always enjoy fajitas and drinks . Taco Tuesday is fun and busy

One of the very few restaurants this side of the border that is as good as being in Mexico

Delicious! Authentic! The food is so good and so fresh. I will definitely return and recommend to friends and family.

Hubby and I had a really great meal here. The menu selections are typical American-style Mexican food, but food preparation and flavor was some of the best we have had. The veggies in our entrees were cooked perfectly tender-crisp. The mushrooms were also fresh, not canned. The shrimp, chicken and beef were all juicy and tender. The salsa was flavorful and fresh, as were the chips. Rice tender, not a bit dry or hard. Beans were creamy and comforting. Everything was seasoned perfectly and piping hot. Our server was friendly and attentive. The manager came by to say hello and to make sure we were happy. The restaurant itself was decorated stereotypically Mexican, but was attractive, comfortable, and very clean. Bathrooms were also very clean. read more

This is usually our go to for Mexican cuisine. And we usually have a great experience however this past experience was absolutely terrible. The service from our server was some of the worst I've ever experienced. It took awhile to get our order put in. And when the food was brought to us it was dropped off and she left never asked if we needed anything and did not come back until we made it very clear we were done with our meal. The girl that rang us up also was rude. Like I said we usually have a great experience here but this time it was so bad we are hesitant on even going back. Food was good as always though. This may just be a take out restaurant for us in the future. read more

Good reviews led us to stop when passing through Mt. Airy. This place surprisingly good. My two daughters had burritos and beans and cheese sticks and beans, respectively. Really looking forward to the next couple of hours in the car. Steak fajitas for two was good. They were a little skimpy on the guacamole, but great flavor and appropriately sautéed onions. Sopapilla was a huge disappointment: a fried flour tortilla, not the thicker puffy bread type that we prefer. Chocolate drizzle was bitter. Strawberry or raspberry drizzle didn't do anything for me. Nevertheless, we'd definitely come back, but order a different dessert. read more

Great food! We had the chicken-steak-shrimp fajita and it was very good with fresh tasting vegetables. Shrimp and rice dinner was likewise good with a decent amount of shrimp. Free salsa and chips was very good and non sweet ice tea was very good also. To top it off, service was all we could wish for. Their menu is extensive so there is probably something for everyone. read more

We came in here 50 minutes before close after driving 7 hours just wanting a quick meal and they said they had already cleaned the grill off for the night. Sad because the reviews looked great. read more

I normally don't review restaurants I've only been to once. But this one was so good, I thought I should chime in. We were a party of five and everyone was wholly satisfied with what they ordered. The prices were incredibly reasonable, the service exceptionally attentive (not to mention patient with the kids), and the portions very generous. If we're ever in town again, I'm going to insist we come back. P.S. They're not kidding when they say the red sauce is spicy. read more

They have great food, they just need to make sure you get the right drink, my daughter accidentally got an alcoholic one she's 14

We were there tonight. First time ever eating at this place. Well now both sick with food poisoning!!! What a sorry dump and absolutely horrible! The food was horrible but we didn't think would get sick. Surry county should do something about this place. But I've noticed there no good places to go anywhere anymore. Just a rip-off. read more
