August is Hatch Chile Time at Arriba Mexican Grill

If you are in the Phoenix, AZ, USA area and you are wanting some cuisine featuring Hatch green chiles, you are in luck. But you had better hurry, especially if you are also hoping to take some fresh roasted Hatch green chiles with you when you leave.

There are Arriba Mexican Grill locations all over the "valley of the sun." Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, Ahwatukee, Gilbert. They feature New Mexico style cuisine that contains hot and fresh Hatch Chile. The chile harvest begins around the first of August in the Hatch Valley, and Arriba Mexican Grill knows what it means to their customers for them to be able to get fresh, new crop Hatch green chiles. The chiles are brought in directly from Hatch, "The Chile Capital of the World."

Arriba is currently offering 99 cent tacos every Tuesday and $1.99 chicken chimichangas every Thursday. Also, during the month of August ("all month") they have their Annual Hatch Chile Roast. "That's right...come to any Arriba Mexican Grill on Friday, Saturday or Sunday in the month of August to purchase fresh Hatch Green Chile by the pound (roasted right in front of your eyes). $1.99/lb. Limit 20 lbs."

Yeah, they say "all month", but they also say "while supplies last." So, if you are in the valley you had better hurry. I'll bet they go fast. And if you would like to check out Arriba Mexican Grill yourself, here is their website address. Lot's of good stuff to read here. Have fun, and, if you know of a restaurant or chain that features fresh chiles this time of year, let us hear from you. We will be happy to tell everyone about it.
