Best Chile Verde in Town

Chile verde is one of the homiest of Mexican dishes: pork cooked down in green tomatillo sauce. At its best, it’s spicy, zesty, and deeply porky all at once.

• Servorg recommends Teresita’s chile verde. estone888 agrees: “Teresita’s is some of the best I’ve had anywhere.”

• Neta, master of the Latino food of the eastern reaches, likes Rafael’s version.

• The best chile verde delishdonna has ever had is at Tacomiendo. mdpilam is “mildly impressed” by the version, which has good verde sauce, piquant nopales (cactus), and lovable homemade tortillas.

• David Kahn recommends two chiles verdes: the one at Mi India Bonita, and the one at Tere’s. “Both versions are well made, with obvious affection and attention to detail,” he says.

• The Talpa has an amazing chile verde, with “a pleasant, smoky kick,” says Moose.

• annagranfors recommends the chile verde at Tonny’s.
