For some reason, mostly one-word descriptions come to mind... The first is "overpriced." The shrimp and corn cheese crisp was $11+.
Second word: "skimpy." For almost $12, that little cheese crisp should have been covered in shrimp and corn. I actually had to ask my wife if there was any corn as I searched out one of the micro-shrimps.
Third word: "Meh." We tried three items to get a variety and a feel for the place and none of them was memorable or anything I would choose to go back for. The tortilla soup was more like a party dip than a soup, the cheese crisp had hardly anything on it, and the portion of the unmemorable signature dish was pretty small for $16.
For my money, I'll definitely be heading to Blanco next time. Black Chile seems to be an imitator that falls flat - like a bad impersonation act at an Arizona casino.
Thank God I had a $20 off coupon. The $16 total seemed a whole lot more appropriate than the original $36.
