“I purchased the roasted chili from the Little Store in Old Town in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I like to buy local, so I try the items in this "little store" and everything so far has been amazing. So I decided to try this roasted green chili and I was very impressed that it was so good. It was perfect! It had a little bit of several different types in the package. We loved it.”
