We had dinner at Green Chili Kitchen, last night. It was really good! We both had Negra Modelo and that hit the spot. I like it with salt/lime but Husband likes it plain. Either way, it worked.

I had the flat (chicken) enchilada/crispy taco (ground beef - spoiled by Taco Bell, I admit it) combination with black beans. Brought most of it home because it was a large portion. The chicken was outstanding.

Husband had three soft tacos. He liked the chicken and beef (steak) but wasn't particularly wild about the pork and that is generally his favorite. He also wished they'd doubled on the tortillas because they collapsed. The rice was a little stickier than I like (is that par for New Mexico style?) but the flavor was still good and I didn't see it as much of a drawback.

The salsa was good, as was the queso with hot green chilis. It was a large bowl and they boxed up what we didn't eat and threw in extra chips to take home. That was nice. We also got the hot sauce and enjoyed it. It started out tasting sweet - almost like jelly - but then raced through flavors ending in spicy hot. Really liked it.

I also really liked the location with the large window looking at 66. We got there at sunset and as the sun went down, the lights came out and that was nice. It was cozy and the waitstaff were attentive. Our waitress, Courtney, was quite good.

We didn't get any dessert because we were too full.

A friend of mine who loves New Mexico cuisine went there about three weeks after it opened. She told me she was really disappointed in it. I think they must have fixed things because our experience was very positive. Based on our experience, I recommend it.
