" If you're after authentic Mexican food, you need to check out Chile Pepper! I recommend trying the mole and the fresh guacamole; both were incredible! Even the tortillas tasted home-made! The vibrant colors and decorations make the place welcoming and warm. Can't wait to go back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're from the Southwest, you might be a little disappointed by the lack of heat in their dishes. The food was good, just not spicy enough for my taste. But the atmosphere and service were lovely! The drinks are amazing, so definitely order a margarita with your meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! Chile Pepper has changed my perspective on Seattle’s Mexican food. The service was warm, and the food was bursting with authentic flavors that took me back home. The mango margarita was a brightness to my meal. Every bite of my meal was heavenly! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" A local recommendation brought me to Chile Pepper, and I'm glad it did! The enchiladas were incredible, but I can't help but feel let down by the service. It was slow, perhaps due to being understaffed. Still, the flavor of the food made up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was not bad, but I expected more authenticity for the price. The staff was accommodating, but with only one person working, it took a while to get our meals. The ambiance was nice enough, but it just felt average overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Chile Pepper was delightful! The mole was rich and savory, making it one of the best I’ve had in Seattle. The staff was friendly, and even though there was a slight wait for our food, it was well worth it. Can’t wait to go back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a gem! Excellent food that is packed with taste. Tried the tamales, and they were so good! It'll take some time to get your food since there’s usually only one person working, but trust me, it's worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)
