You can buy 25 pound bags or just frozen chilies, which is my selection since the green chilies were not in the season! this is a good place to stop and experience the Mexican culture!

I can taste the chunks of chocolate and bourbon whiskey this is a must try when in the area. You can use restroom facilities. I'm rating the beer jerky, chocolate bourbon pecan pie and customer service 5/5 stars. Restrooms were clean but need updating and rate them 3.8/5 stars. Heard the food truck has pretty good cheeseburgers. Check it out! Happy Yelping :)

One of those places that's necessary for those traveling long distances and need to fuel up / stretch. I did end up getting some jerky and peanut brittle. Not too bad.

If you're driving through Hatch, don't pass this place by. This is the original Hatch Chile stand,…read moreand meeting the owners made the stop even more memorable. We had the pleasure of talking with the grandson and his wife, who now run the business. They were incredibly sweet, welcoming, and genuinely happy to answer questions and help us pick out products. We brought home a jar of their extra hot green salsa, and wow...it is absolutely incredible. It has a serious kick, but the heat never overpowers the flavor. You can actually taste the fresh Hatch chiles instead of just burning your mouth. It's hands down one of the best salsas I've had. Supporting a third generation family business while taking home an authentic taste of Hatch made this one of our favorite stops in New Mexico. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Over the holiday weekend, we made a day trip to Hatch, from LC, specifically to,pick up roasted…read moregreen chilies. Bought a 40lb bag & had them roaster & peeled to avoid the hassle. Easy transaction, the Chilis are delicious. Also bought pecans. Yummy too. Hatch Chili e Express is now my go-to for fresh chili, even though I can get them here in Phoenix.

Stopped here for dinner while visiting…read more A good spot, for good pizza. We had a Greek pizza (forgot name, if it was something else), with cauliflower crust. We added chicken as well. Wasn't pleased with the amount of chicken that was on the pizza, but the pizza was packed with flavor. The crust was delicious too. They had a gluten free crust as well, but it only came in 10" sizes The service was friendly, & kind. Ambiance was casual, & somewhat Italian. Pretty small space in there, but worth the stop for good pizza

Impressed. Scottsdale price but Scottsdale quality. Impressed…read more I'm sorry but I didn't expect a restaurant of this quality in T or C. The Faux-Caccia was excellent. If I had one suggestion I'd like the marinara sauce thicker and less runny with a little more spice. The Livestock pizza was fabulous. I'd put the dough/crust right up against some of the best in Little Italy or Scottsdale. The toppings ... superb. Great spice, great cook. Really, really well done. Impressive.

When we visited the Sunrise Kettle Corn booth, we were offered generous samples of different flavor…read morekettle corn. We tried regular, caramel and cinnamon. They also offer chili and banana split, both of which I had no interest in. The popped kernels were huge and fluffy. We were told they are called mushroom popcorn. Regular Kettle Corn: This was fluffy, with the right amount of salty and sweet. Cinnamon Kettle Corn: At first I wasn't impressed. I was expecting more of a cinnamon/sugar combo taste, but it was pure cinnamon coating the kettle corn. I bought a bag anyway. Well, it is addicting!!! I love it. No need for more sweetness. Caramel Kettle Corn: Perfect! This is not overly sweet nor sticky. Just a subtle caramel taste that lets you eat a lot without your taste buds being overwhelmed with sweetness. All flavors above had the undertones of the regular kettle corn. We will be back.

You already know I had to pull over! From the moment I walked into Bowlin's Aleka Flats, the staff greeted me with genuine warmth. The store itself is such a fun place to browse--filled with unique Southwestern treasures like shirts, ponchos, serapes, moccasins, souvenirs, and so much more. Even if you only come for the cookies, you'll probably end up wandering the aisles for a bit. Speaking of cookies... I could see the staff constantly rotating fresh batches, so I knew they weren't sitting around getting stale. I also appreciated that they offered options with and without nuts. We ended up grabbing a dozen because, let's be honest, the price made it an easy decision. Individual cookies are just $0.99 each, but a dozen is only $9. We picked up six original chocolate chip, three sugar pecan, and three chocolate chip pecan cookies. One thing that stood out was watching the employee preparing the cookies while wearing gloves. It's a small detail, but it shows they take pride in food handling and cleanliness, and I always notice those things. The staff was incredibly friendly and even thanked me for stopping by... even though cookies were literally the only reason I came in. And yes, I'm on a road trip, so don't judge me! My kiddos thanked me the second they took their first bite, and that was all the confirmation I needed. These cookies were soft, chewy, fresh, and absolutely worth the stop. If you're driving through, do yourself a favor and pull over. Grab a dozen--you'll thank yourself later. I'll definitely be making this one of my regular road-trip cookie stops!

The Good: *Lady running the front was friendly enough *Store is very organized and comfortable to walk around in. *Prices seemed about the same as everywhere else The Meh: *A bit of a language barrier The Ugly: *We arrived into town after 9 a.m. (store claims to be open at 8:30), and they were closed. We happened to see them just as they were opening as we were leaving town after 10 a.m. Luckily for them, I was still looking for something, and that's the only reason I stopped. Otherwise, they'd have been SoL. TLDR: Nice place, but hours of operation may be arbitrary. #TheEarlyBirdGetsTheWorm
