What are your hours?
We are open Tuesday through Thursday from 11:30 AM to 9 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 11:30 AM to 10 PM. We are closed Sunday and Monday. Lunch specials run Tuesday through Thursday from 11:30 AM to 3 PM. We are also closed on Thanksgiving Day, December 24th and 25th, and the 4th of July.
Where are you located, and is there parking?
Chile Tepin is at 307 W 200 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84101, on the first floor of the historic Crane Building in downtown Salt Lake City. There is a parking lot right next to the building. Monday through Friday before 3:30 PM the lot belongs to the building's offices, and only a few short-term spots (30 to 60 minutes) are usually open. After 3:30 PM on weekdays, and on Saturday from 11:30 AM until we close at 10 PM, our guests can park in the lot even though the signs say it is reserved for the Crane Building offices. On event nights at the Delta Center the lot may charge a fee.
Do you take reservations?
We take a limited number of reservations for parties of 6 or more. Most of our dining room is seated first come, first served, and there can be a short wait at peak hours. Call (801) 883-9255 during business hours or send the reservation request form. Please send it several days ahead, up to a week for large groups, and do not assume you have a table until a member of our team confirms it by phone or email. We do not rent out the whole restaurant for private events; for a special occasion, send the form and the owners may be able to prepare a special menu.
Can I order for pickup?
Yes. Orders are for pickup only; we do not offer delivery. Use the Order Now button on this page, or call (801) 883-9255 during business hours. Questions about a specific order or pickup time: (801) 883-9255.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes. Corn tortillas are available, and dishes like the carne asada and the fajitas can be prepared gluten-free. Tell your server you need a gluten-free meal and they will point out the options. Our kitchen uses shared equipment and cooking surfaces, so we cannot guarantee that any item is completely free of gluten.
Do you have vegetarian or vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian choices include the veggie (hongo) quesadilla, fajitas, chimichanga and burrito, the bean tacos, guacamole, nachos, and the taco, enchilada or tostada with hongos. For a vegan meal, ask for no cheese and no sour cream (crema): the guacamole and the taco, tostada or fajitas with hongos are the usual choices. Ask your server and they will confirm what can be made without dairy.
Do you cater?
Yes. Our catering comes with an exclusive menu built for your occasion: meetings, parties and family celebrations. Email laschangas.llc@gmail.com with your date, the number of guests and what you are celebrating. Please write well in advance: a quote can take several days, and up to a week.
Do you serve alcohol?
Yes. We serve margaritas and cocktails in flavors like fresa, mango, durazno, piña, jalapeño and chile tepín, full-strength Mexican, local and domestic beer, and red and white wine. You must be 21 or older to order any alcoholic beverage. We ID everybody, and we comply with all Utah and Federal laws.
