If you’ve never heard of New Mexican cuisine, it is part of the broader Southwestern cuisine originating in New Mexico with the New Mexico Chile being the defining ingredient of New Mexican food.
The New Mexico official State Question is “Red or green?” This refers to the choice of red or green chile with an entrée. While it’s not really Mexican food, it’s certainly not Tex-Mex. It’s a style of food that is unique and one that’s hard to find anywhere else in the country.
Enter Carlito’s Burritos, the Las Vegas home of southwest-style burritos, for breakfast and beyond. The restaurant originally opened in 2009 but has been at its newest location since 2015. The casual eatery packs in locals and celebrities alike for New Mexican cuisine with their signature touch, red & green chile sauces.
They were ranked in the Las Vegas Review Journal’s Top 10 Palate Pleasing Spots of 2016. Vegas SEVEN Magazine gave Carlito’s Burritos the “Best Place to Overeat and Totally Own It” award.
They also won Las Vegas Weekly’s Best Of Award for Best Restaurant Upgrade 2016 when they moved into a roomier space with a patio, expanded the bar and added on Live-Fire-Q, an attached restaurant that serves Santa Maria-style barbecue.
