La Ristra New Mexican Kitchen taking orders for annual Hatch chile sale

August is almost upon us, so it’s time to order your Hatch chile peppers.

La Ristra New Mexican Kitchen in Gilbert will hold its fifth annual Hatch Chile Festival on Aug. 25-26. You must pre-order your Hatch chiles in advance.

Peppers are $45 for a 40-pound sack or $80 for two sacks. Peppers are available in hot and extra hot.

Restaurant staffers will travel to Hatch, N.M., in early August to pick up their annual supply of chiles, which they will roast in their parking lot during the Aug. 25-26 festival.

The weekend also will include a Sante Fe Brewing tap takeover and live music.

To order your Hatch chiles, call La Ristra at 480-545-2880.
