Green Chilitos

Absolute hidden Gem! I've been craving authentic Mexican food ever since moving from the southwest. This place did not disappoint! The Charro beans were some of my absolute favorite I've ever had, and everything just reminded me of home. we ordered the Sampler Platter, Carnitas Plate, and Steak Burrito and loved every bite. man im full. Will definitely be back

Had a fantastic meal here with the best horchata we’ve ever had. Carlos, the owner, made the meal even more special with his attention and kindness. Would recommend to anyone in the area and will be back soon! We loved the grilled steak platter and beef birria tacos!

This little strip-mall spot is truly a hidden gem. Though small and unassuming from the outside, the food was nothing short of extraordinary—authentic, flavorful, and far beyond our expectations. Every bite was a wonderful surprise, and it’s clear the heart and soul of the kitchen make this place unforgettable.

The owner, Carlos, is so iconic!! So kind, so welcoming, but still professional and provided such excellent service, you can tell he cares not only about his restaurant but about you as the customer!! Don’t even get me started on the amazing food, chips and salsa to start off were soooo good, that salsa was amazing we took some to go!! Birria and cheese tacos to die for and SO filling. Absolutely faultless experience 🥳

This place is phenomenal. The owner is sooo nice. Walking in transported me back to Puerta Vallarta. It’ felt like a mom and pop restaurant in Mexico. I had the Shrimp Diablo- it was so flavorful the rice was so good! It came with beans but I requested just lettuce. Even their home made fresh fruit drinks were so good! I had the cucumber mint lemon. The chips and salsa 10/10 and the guacamole was so fresh and flavorful. Please support this business- you will not be disappointed. Best Mexican food I had in a longtime had a down by far.

This food is just plain amazing. I’ve been to Mexico twice ( not the resorts) and this is the same food you would get at a top restaurant in Mexico City or Oaxaca. The freshest ingredients, prepared expertly and with care. The mole sauce was incredible, the salsas were definitely homemade, and the bean dip divine. Highly recommended as one of the best in Fairfield. It’s a small unassuming place, not fancy. Don’t let that fool you. It’s real, fresh, great food.

Out of the few places here in Fairfield, Green Chilitos is by far most authentic with a focus on quality. Carlos is an upstanding man with a great work ethic and is very involved with making sure his business runs smoothly. Please visit Green Chilitos instead of a franchise or chain and keep local businesses afloat!

The food here is soooo good and fresh ! I had the cheese and birria tacos and my fiance had the chicken and shrimp quesadillas. Everything was good to perfection and the salsa and chips are so fresh you can taste it .

YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE!!! The food is amazing! I was there with my sister and boyfriend and each one of us said our food was the best we've ever had. Most importantly, the owner was the sweetest person and you can tell he cared so much about not only the quality of the food but also that we were happy. He appreciated our business and we appreciated the level of hospitality. Do not overlook this place, PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS!!

(Today, Thu 1/25/24) Welp! It was SO good that we had to come and check it out in person! Hubs had the chicken enchiladas with molé sauce, I had the crunchy tacos with crab (a little bit like crab rangoon)), we tried a pineapple mango drink - everything was SO SO GOOD!! Yup - will be coming here Aplenty! (Wed 1/24/24) Just ordered delivery from here - DE-LISH!! Got a new fave now! We got the shrimp quesadilla and the chicken molé platter - fresh, and good portions, seriously so good - DEFINITELY going to be visiting in person! (Very interested in checking out their breakfast!)

Went here for the first time after reading good reviews. As described by others, the food is actually outstanding. It's basically just solid Mexican but a little elevated with some nice touches, such as homemade corn tortillas for the tacos and notably good salsas, three of which are provided at no cost along with chips when you sit down. The inside is very barebones but has a few tables if you don't want to eat outside. No alcohol but the fruit juices are worth trying (mango + pineapple) and pair perfectly with the food. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area.

EXCELLENT tacos, some of the best in the area. I'd recommend take out since it's a small place, but man the flavor is mighty. The beef birria tacos were super flavorful, and the consommé had an almost Indian inspired flavor to it. Really delicious. The grilled chicken tacos are similarly great when smothered with salsa. So good it's worked its way into the restaurant rotation.

The food was excellent; better than expected. Service was attentive and friendly. Ambiance was authentic and small. Lots of takeout.

Absolutely TO DIE FOR!! I wish I had tried this place sooner. Got the chicken tinga platter, everything was flavorful and made with love! Horchata delish, chips and salsa delish.

Good things come to those who wait! I've been watching the action at this location for the new restaurant taking over and it was, to my surprise, Mexican cuisine. Not many authentic mexican places in the area so it seems this may fill a niche. The place has been only open a few days from the time of this review. Everybody has growing pains, so be patient. After perusing the printed menu (the wall menu wasn't up yet) I chose a burrito and had a chance to speak with Carlos, the owner. He spoke at length about his interest in food and providing a customer connection in both food and service. While waiting for my food, he provided a cool watermelon drink gratis. If you gauged the meal solely on weight, this would be like 50 stars! It was a packed carnitas burrito along with a side of lettuce and cheese and guac. The taste did not disappoint. Although not cheap at $14, it could have been two meals here. I was more than satisfied. Next time (oh, there will be a next time) I think I might try a platter or collection of soft tacos. I'm wishing Green Chilitos all the best! N.B. Plenty of parking here usually during lunchtime, not much parking at night. Although there are seats indoors and out, think about ordering ahead. Also, you can park on the post road for pick up (or dine in) instead of fighting for a parking space.

Had an amazing take-out order from Green Chilitos. It was ready in about 15 minutes. All the food was delicious. We had Enfrijoladas with black bean sauce; Carnitas Burrito; and Mexican Pizza Carnitas. All dishes tasted so fresh. Portions were large -- we only ate half of each dish. Going to have delicious left-overs tomorrow.

A sleeper takeout spot you don't want to miss. Was actually debating even writing a review because I don't want everyone to find out about this place. Puts all other Mexican spots to shame in the area. Food quality is outstanding. Chicken tortilla soup was so rich and delicious. We had the trio of dips with buffalo chicken, a guac salsa and black bean, which were all so fresh. I will definitely be ordering the chorizo quesadilla and chicken tinga platter again. Can't wait to order again.

So pleased with this new Mexican restaurant in Fairfield. My husband and I stopped by here for lunch. Greeted by a friendly server who was quick to provide us with free crispy tortilla chips and 3 dips. All the dips were very fresh with unique flavors. Our favorite was the warm bean dip. Our meals were loaded with delicious rice, beans, cheese and sauces. This restaurant is a must try for authentic Mexican fresh dishes. We will definitely be returning.

Delicious! Had a craving for Mexican food since moving from So Cal and Green Chilitos was nearby. We are SO happy to have found this place - the food is fantastic! Really fresh, authentic, and terrific flavors. The owner was super nice. Can't wait to return!

Kid wanted Gai Jai chicken. Drove all the way down to find out they went out of business. After some tears, she agreed to try the place that opened up in its place, Green Chillitos. We tried the Chicken Tinga platter, the carnita platter, and shrimp Platter. The Carnitas was the best damn carnitas I've ever had. Many times it's bland, or greasy. This was neither. Seasoned well and texture was perfect. The chicken Tinga had that awesome char flavor with the sauce they use. The rice,.Pico de Gallo, and guacamole all seemed fresh and packed a great flavor. He gave us each a drink. Hochata (think a drinkable rice pudding), mango pineapple drink, and a Jamaican sorrel flower drink. All extremely tasty. He also gave us a sample of their sauces (green, red, and mole). All really good. Great addition to the food scene here. Anxious to try their tacos and burritos.

Friendly staff, quick service, great portions, and the best authentic Mexican food in town! This will be our new spot!

Excellent, authentic Mexican food! They do a lot of take-out. Limited indoor seating but the service is always great when I dine in. Friendly people, delicious food.

The chicken tacos were amazing! The corn tortilla were perfectly crispy and the chicken was seasoned very well! Highly recommend Owner was also very kind and gave us complimentary drinks.

We just enjoyed lunch here. This place should be crazy busy, the food is THAT good. The owner could not be nicer. We will be back!

The food and juices were excellent. Highly recommend the pork pastor. Definitely our new go to spot for Mexican. It has a small, simple dining area but it was comfortable for a quick bite. Attentive service.

Not just another Mexican restaurant, rather a small storefront "joint" that serves huge portions of home cooked food for a great price. Being a small restaurant, the service is great. The chips and salsa are made on premises. All of the chicken dishes use whole chicken, so sometimes you get a bit of skin or dark meat. Dishes were tasty! Worth a visit for a change of pace from the usual Mexican.

Enjoyed my meal and the owner is so genuinely appreciative of us being there. We will be back. The vegetable tacos were great including the cactus. Chips and Salsas were all home made. Fantastic rustic salsa verde and red salsa (roasted tomato) had great heat

Authentic tacos. Shrimp was delicious and flavorful. Super quick delivery. I loved every bite. This will be my new go to spot when I'm too lazy to cook. Scrumptious.

Friendly fast service. Food was well priced and abundant. The quality was okay. Great for families with kids

Great Food and friendly service!! I enjoyed the three Al Pastor Tacos and an Horchata.

Green Chilitos is by far the best Mexican food in Fairfield county. It makes sense that the owner Carlos is warm, welcoming, and kind. The best food is the chicken tinga, chicken and pork pastore, birria tacos, and the chips and salsa. I cannot say enough about the superb quality of food here as well as the excellent service and care. This is definitely a hidden gem that needs to be shared with everyone.

The food is absolutely delicious! You can taste how fresh the ingredients are. These dishes are made with love. We will definitely be back!

Authentic, tasty Mexican food. Sophisticated in that it's not the usual cheese/grease bomb. You can taste the love that went into this food. Friendly owner. Reasonable prices and generous servings. It's a storefront type place so atmosphere is not fancy at all, but the food is beautifully presented with flavors to match, if you close your eyes after the first bite you'll think you're in Mexico!

Accommodating to allergies, ready in 15 minutes and tasted great. Have gotten the crispy tacos twice, platter of four tacos. It comes with an option of two sauces and the black bean one is great. Pork, chicken and steak tacos were all delicious and they're covered with lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream. Friendly workers

Delicious, reasonably priced food in a casual setting. We've been here several times and everything we've had has been fresh and very tasty. The burritos are enormous and absolutely great. This is a great addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommended!

First and foremost the food is incredible. It's difficult to find good Mexican in Fairfield county and this is the best I've had. The amount of Al pastor (including pineapple) flavor on the chicken was unbelievable and the gravy on the steak onions and poblanos was out of this world. The potato flautas were also very good. On top of this the owner is very nice and likeable. He gave us a pineapple juice and a horchata and those rocked too. I'm reviewing my dinner from a couple of nights ago and I'm ordering lunch from Green Chilitos today!

Really excellent food, from fresh chips ans salsa through burritos and flan and drinks. Amazing service with a smile.

Authentic Mexican food! really great food, and waiter/waitress was really attentive. Chips and salsa, and two complimentary Fresh juices (watermelon and pineapple, really refreshing!) were brought out before we ordered our food. It's a small place with seatings inside and outside. Just be aware, they do not have a bathroom.

First time ordering and it was yummy! This is really a take out place, as there are only a few seats and really no atmosphere. Don't let that deter you from ordering. We had their nachos, enchiladas and a burrito. It's now my only local Mexican restaurant to order from! Go try it if you haven't yet!

This place is amazing! The food is fresh and homemade. The owner is so appreciative of all business and so sweet with amazing service. It's definitely more of a takeout spot but it's better than any nearby quick service Mexican. I can't recommend enough

Delicious authentic Mexican takeout. Good quality, fresh & delicious. Excellent menu with a great variety to chose from. The woman who took my order was really friendly, kind, & professional. Looking forward to returning.

Authentic Mexican cuisine, with tasty food and a great service team- can't wait to go back!!

My chicken tinga taco was INCREDIBLE! So delicious. Waitress was super attentive and helpful! Will get more take-out from here in the future. The owner is so sweet too!

Delicious food! Wonderful owner. Reasonable prices and good size portions. Mostly takeout or delivery although there are a couple of tables and some outdoor seating.

The staff and food are excellent. I recommend the beef birria soft tacos and horchata.

Food was amazingly good! Owner was very nice and welcoming. Good prices and authentic food. I DEFINITELY would come again and also DEFINITELY recommend!

The food was excellent: flavorful and authentic;, and the service was warm and welcoming. Feels like a take place with outside and inside seating available. I will be going back.

The food is fresh, authentic and delicious. They are a little understaffed, so service can be slow, especially when they're busy, but the food is well worth the wait. The quality and preparation punch way above their weight for the price.
