Delightful restaurant with great food
The green chile bowl was the best chile (red or green) I ever tasted anywhere. Not thick and sticky, more like a delicious chile soup. My wife and I tried both the red chile bowl and the green chile bowl and swapped back and forth. We agree both were excellent but the green was outstanding in our opinion. More of a variety of ingredients, tomatoes, pork, beans, chopped green chiles, chopped tomatoes and just excellent flavor. Both bowls were also huge servings for a very reasonable price (less than $4 each as I recall) served with all the warm soft tortillas you want in a very friendly hometown restaurant, filled with locals.

I would love to get their recipe for that green chile.    [07 Jan 2006 17:46:38]

Very Good New Mexican Cuisine
The Pepper Pot is a friendly little restaurant in the Chile Capital of America. Service is friendly, but not especially attentive. Ambiance is OK; tables are not crowded and the place is clean. Food is very good and reasonably priced. We had enchiladas with meat filling and a combo plate. Taco was mediocre with a hard shell-- unusual in these parts. Hamburger meat, not highly seasoned. Chile relleno with green chile sauce and cheese was very good. Enchiladas with red and green very good..green sauce delicious. Chips good...spicy salsa..a mix of red and green chile...very good. Beans and rice average. I do think there was too much cheese on top of the food, but otherwise it was very good. From what I observed, this is probably the best restaurant around Hatch.    [16 Feb 2006 17:16:28]
