These folks have the BEST green Chile in ALL of New Mexico. I hope and pray they will be able to keep this going for many generations to come. May God bless them now and always. Peace, Fr. Andy Pavlak, Pastor Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, Albuquerque, NM read more

Bought my chile from Rosales Produce 9/2/2025. Because of the positive reviews on yelp and being close to my house I decided to give them a try. I can't tell you how many times I have bought hot chile from other places and the chile ended being mild. Rosales' hot is hot and flavorful. The owners of the farm work at this location and were very helpful answering questions. I like to buy my chili when it starts turning from green to red. The owner said that the chili starts to turn red at the end of September but if you wet the sack and keep it cool overnight that it would start turning red the next day. I roast my own chile so I did this and it worked. The owners take pride in their farm and their chile and it shows. For those who are new to peeling roasted chili I attached a photo of my chile peeling table. The bowl of water is for rinsing the peelings and seeds that get on your fingers. Long story short, I highly recommend Rosales Produce and will now be a repeat customer. read more

We bought our chili there in the fall of 2025. The chili was so easy to peel and the taste was everything I wanted! Hot but not too hot. The year before we bought the same type of chili (hot) and it was inedible. Nobody in my family and extended family could eat it. Rosales also has chili that's already peeled and bagged in separate smaller bags. It's pricey but worth it for those who hate peeking or for those who just can't. I'll go back every year to Rosales! read more

Product was exactly as advertised. Product has increased in price year after year, getting tired of that! Still, best green chile in Albq. area. read more

Rude owners who wanted to blame us when we complained that the chile was mild when we ordered med-hot. They wanted to argue with us. Poor customer service - unkind to a veteran who spent $100 on Med hot chile (that taste like bell peppers) for my mom. They did finally give in and offer us a sack of hot which is incredibly hot. One star because the chile is easy to peel. read more

I have ALWAYS purchased my green chile from Rosales, for some dumb reason I went to fruit basket yesterday and I bought a sack of what was supposed to be XTRA hot, I peeled and bagged it and was excited to have it for dinner and none of it was even medium hot much less xtra hot. So today I went and purchased extra hot from Rosales, and now at their new location you purchase , get in your car line up while it roasts it and they load it, Rosales is Epic ! read more

Loved the ease of buying roasted green chile. Different levels of heat available. Nice that we could buy baskets of chile.

one word several times rude rude. rude... and very expensive 50$ for sack of green, 9$ for a watermelon...sad i will go back to fruit basket on 4th nice employees...40$ sack of green chili wow read more

Ive becoming to Rosales for decades. They hands down have the best chile in NM. They get their red chile from Lemitar. They have a variety of hot-ness from mild to XXhot. They'll roast your bag right in front. This is the chile you'll want in all of your recipes. read more

Great quality chile and great knowledgeable staff. I pride myself with being able to eat a good amount of spice, I was debating between the 1X and 3X hot. I got to sample both pre-roasted and really couldn't tell the difference because my mouth was burning. I'm glad I went with the 1X hot, I would put the spice level between a jalapeño and thai chili. Get there early, it gets busy! read more

Chilis galore! They sell them by the 20lb or 40lb bag and they roast them for you! The medium green chilis had just the right amount of spice and everyone was very friendly and helpful! read more

I love their chile. Locally grown nearby. Nice heat for medium and my husband gets hot. I get some powdered red too and vegis. Great people and you can tell they love hanging out as a family. They give a number when you want it roasted and call it when ready. Nicely organized. Been coming here for years. Met people ordering that are from other states. That's right it's good. read more

Love lemitar Chile It's the most flavourful both red & green I've love red the best but adore Christmas too read more

This place is awesome. Amazing customer service We spoke with the owners they lets us know all about their process and how many Chile peppers they roast and sell a day.

My husband goes every time he is in Houston. Loves their chicken fried steak. I had their egg breakfast with grits. The grits were super yummy. Service was a lot chaotic and we had to ask for the remaining items on our order several times read more

Best green Chile in the state of New Mexico. Always helpful and the smell of roasted Chile as you drink be up.

Seems you need to know Spanish to shop here, sad but that was my experience as a gringo, not welcome.

Chile is from Lemitar. Have bought from them for about 5 years, they were sold at Sprouts first. Great flavor and size for med. Big Jim. Roasting included in sack of chile price. yummmm read more

Best green or red chili in NM!

Heather M did a fantastic job covering all of the bases about this place: the hide-away locale, friendly employees, $1 credit transaction fee, and oh-snap heat these peppers deliver. I consider myself a pretty ruthless spice aficionado, but I settled on the Hot variety, here. $15 for a half sack, $25 for a biggie. I love how this industry - which is truly the tierra of our lovely state - still resembles something of a legalized drug cartel/black market. We buy this stuff on the down-low and separate it into lil' baggies when we bring it home. As a populace, we ingest chile on a daily basis, we crave it, the stuff satisfies our insatiable addiction for comfort food and when we're away from New Mexico our cravings are so overpowering that we totally turn up our noses to the bevy of southwestern-inspired eateries. For example, I once dined at a restaurant in Portland that offered what it called a "chili relleno", a fried green pepper with monterey jack cheese. I totally got my snob on. Come to Rosales for some divine Lemitar chiles. (I've always thought "Lemitar" sounded like some planet from Battlestar Galactica.) Continue reading for a brief warning on transplant gringo life lessons. For the first ten-or-so years I lived here, I didn't buy chile. I was a college student, I rarely cooked, I had roommates that stuffed the fridge and freezer with on-the-go crap. When I finally got my own apartment, I took great pride in purchasing a full sack of chile that sat in the back seat of my car less than 24 hours. When I brought it into my abode, the pods were covered in mold. So first lesson, don't do that, transplant gringo. Get 'em out the bag pronto and freeze 'em. I bought another sack, brought it home, opened a beer and spread the harvest on my dining room table. I'd made the (unwise) decision that I would remove the skins and seeds prior to a deep freeze, and that's when I made the (unwiser) decision to go at this effort without putting on a pair of latex gloves. For the better part of the following month, my hands literally emanated heat. It was as if had implanted a couple of those shakeable heat packs (skiing/snowboarding Godsends) directly into my palms. Totally surreal, actually, and kind of cool, but DO NOT DO THIS, gringo. Lesson two, wear gloves when handling chiles. read more

Oh my gosh! My Grandmother and multiple generations have been coming here and they never fail!! My sack was roasted so good that I peeled it all by myself. El Lobo solo ~ Also picked up some jalapenos, garlic and Chico's!!! read more

Red or green? It's a staple question in NM but come August/September it's all about the green. I've been getting my green chile fix here for 3 years now and it's never a disappointment. It's $1 extra if you pay by card which IMO is reasonable. The green Chile has an amazing flavor and packs a bite. The last 2 years I got hot and this year I did 1 bag of hot and 1 of extra. Woah the heat is intense but the flavor is amazing!!!! Always friendly and you can't beat the amazing product. Oh and if you crave the red stuff buy a bag of the red dried Chile it makes amazing Chile caribe. read more

Rosales Produce - Farmers Market Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Shhhh, best small grower and chili farmer. Period. Best fresh chili with thick peppers that peel so easily after roasting and steaming. The flavor is full and rich. You must go early because they sell out quickly everyday and are brought in fresh from the Lemitar Fields. The only bad part is that you won't know if they are sold out until you are there. Huge bummer if they are read more

We have been buying our chili here for three years. It is by far our favorite place to buy chili. They do a great job roasting. We just peeled and sacked six forty lb sacks with friends and probably didn't lose but one chili(if even that) per sack due to how well they roast it. We have also found that their medium heat chilis are always the same. We have become huge fans of the Lemitar chili which is where Rosales fields are located. read more

The best roasted green chili in town. .... In August I drive on 4th and look to see, is Rosales open yet? You know by the number of cars parked and waiting to get their fresh roasted green chili. Rosales produce offers big jim, hot, extra hot and for those brave souls XXX! They are open at the end of August and close after ballon fiesta. Guaranteed great chili! read more

Stopped by to pick up some fresh roasted red (after buying about 80lbs of green last month). Very happy with the quality & flavor of their product. They take credit cards (via Square), but do charge $1 extra for this. read more

Stopped here after seeing high reviews and needing to pick up some fresh hatch chili's and some chili powder to cram into my suitcase before flying home. Service was great and they were roasting chili's as I walked up. Smelled so good! The chili powders and chili's are delicious! read more

I bought one sack of hot and one sack of medium green chile and they were perfectly roasted and delicious! This was my first time there and it will be my go-to place to buy green and red chile from now on! The Rosales family are very nice and helpful! They also have a great selection of Ristras, in all sizes! Get there early, before they sell out each day! read more

When only the best in all aspect of Chile is needed, Rosales is the place. Thanks for the pride and family atmosphere in your product!!! We picked up 12 bags of Chiles for a family and friends chiles roast this weekend. Nothing but smiles and the wanting for more. read more

Best green chiles in ABQ and reliably the best I know of - I've gotten my chiles here most every year for the past 10yrs. This year I got the Barker X-hot variety and they are awesome! Pleasantly sweet with perfect heat for me (pretty darn hot for most folks). One thing I especially appreciate here is that their roasters are true pros - I've never had trouble peeling when I buy from Rosales. Let them sit in the bag for about 1hr before peeling. I love Lemitar chiles! read more

This place has the most friendly staff. They are very friendly with list of knowledge about their products. Their chili is so good, it has great heat and taste to it. I will come back next year. read more

I love these guys! I ate my first green chile when I was 4, 35 years ago. My dad would roast it himself on a charcoal grill, with a couple boxes of baggies, a stack of tortillas, and a shaker of garlic salt. I asked him for some and he warned me it was hot, but I ate it anyway and burst into tears. My mom yelled at him, but 10 minutes later when I asked for some more, she gave up and let us do our thing. I've tried to recapture the joy of roasting and peeling chile with my family every autumn ever since, and I've been let down by the Hatch chile I've bought at Smith's and Fruit Basket several times over the past decade. It was often thin, bland, and had very little heat, so when I first tried Lemitar green chile, it was a revelation! Lemitar green chile has been consistently delicious and hot whenever I've had the good fortune to score some, and Rosales Produce is the best place I've found in Albuquerque to buy it. I'll keep going back as long as they keep bringing the chile!! read more
