WORTH THE TRIP
I recently visited El Chile Restaurant Mexican Grill in Plano, Illinois with a client, after a visit to the Farnsworth House; despite the distance from Chicago, it was absolutely worth the trip!
El Chile is located in Plano, Illinois; the outward appearance is minimal, as is the interior decor.
However, the food and the service is excellent.
Our waiter was very helpful, and very patient; I should mention he did not speak English well but he was trying to hard to accommodate us it didn't matter.
I only wish I spoke better Spanish and perhaps this is something I need to work on for myself, but no matter: he was very attentive and very nice to us.
The chips & salsa were presented first and the salsa OH MY GOD THE SALSA.
OH MY GOD THE SALSA
I have never had better salsa in my life.
Thick, rich, full of flavour and bursting with spice and heat; it was absolutely delicious, and I couldn't get enough of it.
Yes, it burned the roof off my mouth but who cares; it was incredible.
It was clearly made from scratch using fresh ingredients and the care and attention to it was well noted.
I ordered the carne asada tacos and they were incredibly delicious as well: hot, perfectly seasoned and my only complaint is that I should have ordered more of them!
Hot diggity dog!
There was a tray of wonderful dipping sauces presented with the tacos as well; I don't recall the different types but they were all tasty and delectable.
The salsa was so good my client and I ordered a tub of it for each of us, to go...and I'm sorry to say it didn't last very long once I got home...oh my god, it was good!
I heartily recommend El Chile and it is definitely WORTH THE TRIP. read more
