New Mexican food. Downtown Chandler. They serve chips and three kinds of salsa right away. The green one was spicy. Or the queso chorizo. It was delicious. I also ordered the fajitas. I wanted to order the soup, but it was almost more than the fajitas. Dog friendly patio. Right on Arizona Avenue.

I have been looking for a stuffed sopapilla. I have lived in Phoenix for 8 years and I’m not the person who drives out of my way. Well today I was in Chandler and I said I’m close let me stop by. I’m happy I took a “detour” on this beautiful Arizona Saturday. I have plans to eat in next time. My to go order was perfect

Decided to swing in on a moments notice and sat at the bar…. ordered the three Taco plate and a house Marigrita..dude….
The table chips and salsa are also equally as good as the salsas are made fresh everyday.
The best salsa Verde I’ve yet to have.
It’s tough to find something different that’s worth talking about….if you want amazing New Mexican cuisine..swing on by.

Had a great experience at La Ristra New Mexican Kitchen in Chandler during a lunch networking meeting. The authentic New Mexican food was packed with flavor—especially the red and green chile and fresh house-made salsa. Everything was hot, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Service was excellent—friendly, fast, and attentive—making it a perfect spot for a business lunch or casual meal. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the menu had plenty of options for everyone. If you’re looking for delicious New Mexican cuisine in Chandler, La Ristra is a top choice. I’ll definitely be back!

My hubby seemed to love the dinner. I just don’t care much about the tamales. Perhaps I’ll order something different next time. Our server is a great guy who is also quite friendly. We are definitely coming back. Just one thing: the girl waiter is mopping alongside us, empty tables and chairs, while we are still eating. (Must be done while shutting) We believe it is unprofessional and rude.

We went in to have dinner on a Thursday. We just missed happy hour specials. I had the blue corn enchilada plate and it was amazing! This location is nice and had amazing service. Highly recommended NM food and great atmosphere.

This is part restaurant art sports bar, not fancy but nice. Very noisy when we were there due to the football playoff that would not be normal. Extremely good food good weight staff. It was cold inside because I had the doors open but all in all incredible food. I had chili rellenos with green chili, mashed potatoes and corn

This was my first visit to La Ristra. It was a Monday night evening and we found parking right in front, easily. It was 6 pm and there was only one couple sitting on the patio and a group of 4 at a high top inside. We met another couple and we were seated right away. The atmosphere is nice and the restaurant was clean. Music was at the perfect level.
Drink: I ordered a skinny margarita. Tasty!
Food: chips and salsa, to start (obviously!). A basket of yellow and blue corn tortilla chips which were not salted (and the restaurant does not keep salt and pepper at the tables). They he chips come with 3 salsas. Meh. It was all just okay. Our friends ordered the Queso Blanco Chorizo Dip as an appetizer. Even though I wasn’t excited about their chips, I really liked this dip! It was flavorful and had just enough spice for this not-too-spicy girl. I recommend this app, for sure. For my entree I had the New Mexican Traditional Burrito Plate with pinto beans and rice. When my food arrived it was only warm and the rice was crunchy (I think it sat under the heat lamp a little too long). My server was accommodating and offered me another side so I ordered the mashed potatoes. They were delicious! I also tried my friend’s side of elite and that was great, too. I chose ground beef and red sauce for my burrito and this was my favorite part of the meal. The portion sizes were good.
Because we had a birthday girl at the table our server brought out fried ice cream. I’d pass on this. I’ve had good fried ice cream before (straight out of the fryer) where this one was a chewy outer coating on the scoop of vanilla. Nobody at the table cared for it because of the chewiness.
Overall, decent experience but I’m hoping management pays attention to the reviews to tweak the few small things about the food.
Our server was friendly and very accommodating. I wish I’d gotten her name to give her credit!
