| - I agree that Chico's isn't exactly high end; however, if you are craving quick, simple Mexican flare that isn't from a scary drive-thru and won't break the bank then this place is it.
I'm surprised only one person mentioned the Achiote Chicken Salad. I CRAVE this salad and try to get it at least once every few weeks (it's $5.99 on Thursday). My friend who introduced me to this place moved to San Diego and when she visits, this is where we go and what we get. It's made with crisp, fresh, bright green romaine lettuce (no iceberg!), black beans, a small scoop of their spanish rice and the tastiest grilled, shaved, spicy chicken breast (no scary bits). It's topped with diced tomatoes and 1/2 sliced avocado. The best part is their chile dressing. I like to use 1/2 of that and 2 sides of their pico de gallo on top. Scoop it all up with some chips...DELICIOUS.
On a whim, we once ordered the bean burrito. I'm Mexican; from New Mexico (read I take my beans seriously). This is hands-down one of the best reasons to spend $5 for a bean burrito. Order it as is. You won't be sorry.
My fiance has had some decent experiences with their oher menu items, chimichangas, beef tacos, etc. Pretty standard fare.
Stick with the salad and bean burrito, you won't be sorry.
To boot, they serve Mexican Coke in a bottle.
