Pepper Pot - HATCH

The best Mexican food I've ever eaten. We drove from Texas to San Diego and decided to switch to Anthony Bourdain 's No Reservations. After eating in The Pepper Pot, Hatch is on his way to California, as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't over how much taste it in the Enchiladas and the Chile Relleno. The entire staff, including the owner, Melba, took the time to talk to us and make sure we enjoy our meal. Prices cannot be beaten, but are warned, they only accept cash.

What is strikingly absent is any mention or memory of the most famous visitors of the restaurant. In August 2008, the tireless host Anthony Bourdain appeared at the Pepper Pot during a filming of his No Reservations Show. His companions were Judd Nordyke (mayor of Hatch) and his beautiful better half Marcia (coordinator of the Hatch Chile Festival), who train Bourdain at the beautiful points of red and green Chile. Bourdain explained Pepper Pots Enchiladas “the best red enchiladas of his life. ‘

This place is amazing, nothing compares. We had the tacos and the chimichanga plate WOW!!! Everything is super fresh, green chili is so delicious, and the staff is friendly. I wish this place was closer to where I live!!!!

With my order i had a Christmas and it was absolutely the best RED CHILE ever!!! The green was great too, but the RED CHILE is to die for.

I have to say this was one of the worst Mexican food places I have been to. For growing hatch Chile there, they sure don't know how to cook it. No flavor, looked like gravy. Beans had a burnt taste. Wait staff was unattentive, place was dirty, left us standing there 15 minutes.to pay ticket, no one came to register, just walk on by. These young ladies were just rude.
