Ive been here many of time through the years. From what I've read. What most of the customers writing are accustomed to, most likely meals that are from corporate restaurants or gimmick restaurants, this is straight forward and old school family ownd restaurant trying to survive. The food here is simple, the staff kind but never there for you. But for atmosphere I bring it myself. Like my freinds or family, we talk and catch up. If you have a refined palet and are use to spending money or just like like the food served at most most maint stream corporate restaurants, this is NOT the place for you. I don't like cilantro on everything like everyone is doing today. By the way it's America style Mexican food. Chili's is food made to the area and ever evolving but not one style. I've worked there. By the way is no chef there. They do not create dishes. The cooks there provide you with a set menu. I go there because the menu and flavor has not changed nor has the menu for the most part.

I ordered takeout and besides the small portion size and high cost, it was a good experience. Waiter was friendly and efficient. However I did spend $20 for one single small taco, some rice and beans and chips/salsa. I was left hungry, which is rare for me.

Always enjoyed this restaurant, service is good. Atmosphere was ok, but a little cramped and just felt old . Bathrooms were a mess and felt creepy and you have to go through the kitchen, which brings to mind their proximity and hygiene. My friends and I were going to go there again but found out that unfortunately their prices have gone through the roof! I remember that even last year (May '24), they had the audacity to charge $9 for a small bowl of pico! Ridiculous. I 'm not going back. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
