Chilero's Mexican Grill

Though tacos and burritos anchor the menu of traditional favorites at Chilero's Mexican Grill, it's the sauces that pop with the most flavor and flair. For the mole sauce, chefs chop red chilies, grind nuts, and shave chocolate into a simmering mélange. A green-chili sauce perfectly complements a diced-pork dish, and the chipotle sauce seems tailor-made to contrast with a poblano pepper stuffed with chicken and jack cheese.

Kids younger than 10 can select pint-size portions from the Niños menu, which quenches toddler thirst with a free fountain drink. Sweet teeth of all ages can scoop up the caramelized custard of flan or crack the brittle shell of fried ice cream. Chilero's catering services offer its tasty fare for parties, anniversaries, and "Weird Al" Yankovic fan-club meetings in the East Valley and beyond.
