I go to this restaurant weekly for a small business meet up group and I finally got to try the green chili. I love green chili and once took a week long road trip through New Mexico in all parts and ate green chili three times a day to make sure I developed a pallet for it. La Ristra Chandler location green chili burrito hit the spot for my New Mexican Green Chili craving. Thanks y’all! And let me know if you want me to help you with your Google Business Profile.

This was my first visit to La Ristra. It was a Monday night evening and we found parking right in front, easily. It was 6 pm and there was only one couple sitting on the patio and a group of 4 at a high top inside. We met another couple and we were seated right away. The atmosphere is nice and the restaurant was clean. Music was at the perfect level. Drink: I ordered a skinny margarita. Tasty! Food: chips and salsa, to start (obviously!). A basket of yellow and blue corn tortilla chips which were not salted (and the restaurant does not keep salt and pepper at the tables). They he chips come with 3 salsas. Meh. It was all just okay. Our friends ordered the Queso Blanco Chorizo Dip as an appetizer. Even though I wasn’t excited about their chips, I really liked this dip! It was flavorful and had just enough spice for this not-too-spicy girl. I recommend this app, for sure. For my entree I had the New Mexican Traditional Burrito Plate with pinto beans and rice. When my food arrived it was only warm and the rice was crunchy (I think it sat under the heat lamp a little too long). My server was accommodating and offered me another side so I ordered the mashed potatoes. They were delicious! I also tried my friend’s side of elite and that was great, too. I chose ground beef and red sauce for my burrito and this was my favorite part of the meal. The portion sizes were good. Because we had a birthday girl at the table our server brought out fried ice cream. I’d pass on this. I’ve had good fried ice cream before (straight out of the fryer) where this one was a chewy outer coating on the scoop of vanilla. Nobody at the table cared for it because of the chewiness. Overall, decent experience but I’m hoping management pays attention to the reviews to tweak the few small things about the food. Our server was friendly and very accommodating. I wish I’d gotten her name to give her credit!
We dined in at La Ristra for a quick date night. It was our first time there. There was ample patio seating and someone playing live music, which was a nice touch. We ordered appetizers for our meal to split. Which, our server Kayla, brought us plenty of plates for sharing and our drinks were never empty. The green chile carne asada sliders were absolutely delicious and I would come back just for those. Ceviche was delicious and fresh tasting. The sauce on the hot wings was sweet and spicy. The black beans had a great flavor. Skinny margarita hit the spot.

Had lunch here and it was great! Service was good, the food was top notch. My buddy got a salad and I died a little bit inside when he ordered it, until the server brought it out and I was amazed. Check this place out.
