If you’re searching for a Mexican food experience, Chile & Chili’s Taqueria is where you must go.
Tucked away at 5750 West Tennessee St., this vibrant food truck offers more than just a quick meal —it delivers a fiesta of flavors that will leave you coming back for more.
This taqueria isn’t just any food truck —Chile & Chili’s is a true gem serving up Mexican cuisine that rivals anything you’d find in the heart of Mexico. The food is served from a sleek, no-frills truck, but don’t let the simple setup fool you.
The vibe here is casual and inviting, with seating right in the middle to enjoy your food while soaking in the atmosphere.
Try the steak quesadilla. If you’re a fan of cheese, steak, and a little bit of crispy perfection, this one’s for you. The steak is seasoned just right — tender and juicy — and paired with melty cheese that oozes out of the tortilla in the best possible way. The tortilla itself? Grilled to golden, crispy perfection on the outside while staying soft and chewy inside. It also comes with a side of lettuce, onions and tomatoes.
Portion size is a big thing for me, so I appreciate the size of the quesadilla and the fact it takes up most of the space in the box.
If you’re more of a taco person (or let’s be honest, who isn’t?) their steak tacos are a must-try. Similarly to the quesadilla, the tacos are soft, warm and packed with juicy steak that’s just the right char level. But here’s the kicker: I always get mine with extra salsa verde. This tangy, zesty sauce adds a new layer of flavor that ties everything together. The heat is there but not overpowering, giving those tacos the perfect kick.
To wash it all down, grab a strawberry Jarritos. I am not a fan of soda, but this isn’t just any soda — it’s a sweet, fruity escape in a bottle. The strawberry flavor is perfectly balanced and refreshing without being overly sugary and acidic. It complements the spice and richness of the tacos and quesadillas. You’re doing it wrong if you’re not sipping on this drink while eating.
It’s not just the leading food truck that makes Chile & Chili’s stand out. They’ve recently added two side trucks serving up Mexican drinks and treats. These trucks elevate the whole experience. From freshly made agua frescas to street corn and other sweet and savory treats, you have the perfect complement to your meal.
Chile & Chili’s Taqueria is the place that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something special. The flavors are bold, the food is fresh and every visit feels like a bit of adventure in Mexican cuisine.
