Pobrecito El Chilito, no pudo sobrevivir en el centro. Pues, algo bueno pasó porque ahora se tranforme a El Chile! What happened? The little chile couldn’t make it just selling tacos on 8th and Congree, so they expanded it to a full chile selling the same menu as the original and Far West locales. Until…
