I'm just not a fan of Chili's. Arrived on a Sunday afternoon and the place was hoppin. Got a table for 3 in less than 10 minutes. The restaurant was very loud, crowded, and looked trashed. Service was very slow and the food came out even slower. Those are the cons.
On the bright side, our waitress was really friendly. The classic margatita was only $5.00 and was delicious. I got the shrimp tacos and found them to be really good considering I'm at a Chili's. The shrimp tacos were not spicy as advertised, but they were tasty. I wasn't expecting large, succulent shrimp and I was right, but still tasty. Again, this is taking the fact that I'm eating at Chili's so I have lower food expectations.
My mom got the raspberry margarita and found it to be too sweet. They also served it with a sugar coated rim instead of salt, they just shouldn't do that anymore.
My vegetarian husband ordered the smokehouse burger without the bacon with a black bean patty instead. The burger looked really tasty and moist. You are substitute any burger with a black bean patty if you are looking for a healthier option.
Ended our meal with a chocolate chip cookie a la mode. The cookie is served in a mini skillet and was cooked perfectly so it's warm and a little gooey. I don't like my cookies crunchy if being served with ice cream.
If I ever go back to Chili's, I wouldn't go on a Sunday afternoon. I would also order a classic margarita and the chocolate chip
cookie dessert. If I were starving, I would get the shrimp tacos again.
