a sign for a mexican restaurant
Leticia R.

Moved to Winter Haven a couple months ago and have been looking for a place to eat tacos! Found this Mexican restaurant and boy, are we happy! My husband got the molcajete that has everything in it...chorizo, cactus, chicken, shrimp and steak with tortillas and beans and rice on the side. I got the Carne asada tacos with rice and beans on the side. When we first sat down we were promptly brought chips and salsa. Chips were fresh and warm and the salsa as to be expected. When our main dishes came out, our first bites had us dancing in our seats. The flavor of the meats are so good. Everything tender and tasty in their natural juices. I don't know what kind of salsa they gave with the tacos but it was on point. A little on the spicey side but delicious! It was such a good portion of serving we both had boxes for leftover take homes. There were only 2 servers while we were there but they were both very nice and attentive. The restaurant seating feels a little close and crowded and the restaurant itself is a bit outdated but don't let that deter you. The food is spot on and I am confident to say that this may soon become a local favorite of ours.

This was our first time visiting Chile Verde. Our host was very helpful when we asked questions. The dining room is clean and welcoming. The best part was our food. Absolutely DELICIOUS!! We be returning.

I can't say anything about the food because we opted for drinks after the gym. Ha:) we munched on chips and salsa with queso and took advantage of the 2 for 1 margs that were only $6. We had two different waiters (shift change), and both were really nice. I sucked my first drink down so quickly that the waiter jokingly picked my glass up and even looked at the bottom, to which I sheepishly said, "it's..all gone." Quiet atmosphere, I think it was about 6 when we went. Masks are mandatory until you are seated, just FYI. Definitely a lot of good things on the menu, I'll have to expand my horizons next time!

Margaritas

All I have to say is that 10.00 margarita was everything. I'm not even sure how big that styrofoam cup was. Geez!

We went on the reviews and gave it a try. Don't be afraid that it looks like an an old Wendy's. The food was great!

The churros we ate them too fast

The servers were so sweet and kind and attentive. The food was really good! We had the fajitas, the platters with mixed meats and the churros for dessert. What I loved is that we were able to share and they options for the tortillas

This is the Burrito, Chili relleno with the rice and beans.

Let start by saying that the salsa is watery. You know from the start if the salsa isn't good you are in trouble. The stuffed Chili was water logged ( previously frozen) the meat in the burrito was salty. The only saving grace was the Rice and beans. I was truly disappointed and would never come back much less recommend this place.

Service is always great. It never takes long to get your order. The home made hot sauce is fantastic. The chicken fajita cascades are great.

It's authentic for sure but they really need to clean the place up inside and out. It takes away from the dining experience.

The most authentic Mexican food around. We have been to a lot of TexMex restaurants around the…read morewinter haven/ Polk county area, none compare. Job well done .

I've personally considered this my…read morefavorite restaurant ever since I can remember, even as time passed and I found myself fortunate enough to travel the world and experience authentic Mexican food many a time, this place continues to hold a special place in my heart. The restaurant itself (referring to the old location on Main Street, as of writing this the restaurant is in the process of relocating) has a small, cozy vibe. Lots of colorful decorations, and depending on the time of year you're likely to come across some holiday decorations. The service is great, most if not all of the employees speak Spanish so if that is your preferred language you'll have no troubles. The menu is large, with tons of options for all ages; though I will say I tend to order the exact same thing every time I go (give the fajitas a try, Chicken is my favorite here, they season the meat very well). Preperation/cook time is also very quick, often you will place an order and have your food on the table in 15-20 minutes. The servers are all pleasant to interact with in my experience, and seem to be knowledgeable when asked about the menu. All in all- if you're looking for a great local joint to enjoy some REAL (not some pale crappy tex-mex imitation) Mexican food, and support a family business, you can't do better than El Olivo!
