Chili Works

• I didn't throw up.
• The Chile is horrible.

“This restaurant used to be amazing. I used to go there twice a week but now that they have changed their chili and it is absolutely awful. I wont go back their until they figure it out. Go to morning Glory across from the high school or El Parasol. Wiser choice.”

Outpost Bar & Grill

• Funky western decor.
• No longer serves world's hottest chile soup.

“I used to make a regular pilgrimage here for the Outpost's incredibly hot Chile soup. The first time I had it, I was amazed that they'd serve something that even I had trouble eating. It was that hot. We ate there yesterday and found out there had been complaints about the Chile, so they toned it down. It's still tasty and unique, not the ketchup bowl of beans with an inch-thick crown of melted cheese you usually get. Good burgers and other basics. Service is usually okay. Decor is one-of-a-kind, including the cube display case on the bar with a psychorama of various stuffed creatures.”

Casa Vieja Restaurant Inc

• The ambiance and food.
• The service.

“The atmosphere was very pleasant. We dined on the outdoor patio at dusk with relaxing live music. The house Jalapeno Margarita had a delicious sharp bite and the accompanying salsa was very good. The duck Main course was good although a little under cooked for my taste. The evening was spoiled by poor service. The tabling of every course from drinks to dessert was slow - exceedingly slow. The indoor diners seemed to be getting more attention so perhaps the patio was a poor choice.”

The Chili Factory

• Loved it.
• None I can think of.

“I ordered a bowl of chili in this restaurant & it was served in a huge bowl, the size of a salad bowl with the biggest Jalapeno pepper sliced in half that I had ever seen. The chili looked more like green moss than regular chili & by third or fourth bite I was throwing back an iced drink to try & put the fire out. I loved it. They have more selections of chili than I have ever seen (thus the restaurant name). For chili lovers, this is the place for you. Next time I'm in the Albuquerque area I will seek it out. My wife would hate it however.”

Chili Works

• The workers.
• The recent change in the burritos red chili and consistency.

“Since long something has happened at Chile Works. I have been picking up my burritos for ten years here. Last week and today was a terrible experience. The red chili, which is the staple for this establishment, has changed. The was once thick, hot, spicy, dark red has been reduced to a watery, bland, no heat, mess. I hope the owner has not thought the consumers would not notice the change. It has wrecked the experience and the burrito itself. There are so many other places to go for a great breakfast burrito in town. I am indefinitely done with Chile Works. You can't change what brings people there in the first place. That's the Chile!”
