| - Chili's, a blast from the past. I have always passed right by this place when visiting The Arboretum, but decided, "why not", to give it a try.
I arrived a little after 12:00pm on Sunday afternoon and requested a booth, which I received. Once seated I was greeted for my drink order and asked if I would like chips, absolutely! The chips were SO fresh and I truly enjoyed the salsa. My margarita arrived, delish!
After reviewing the menu I asked the waitress for her thoughts between two dishes and she highly recommended the fajitas. I ordered the chicken fajitas with the side of rice and beans, for an extra $.99. Note: Won't bother with the rice and beans next time.
As for the fajitas, they arrived, not sizzling and a little blah, as you can see from my first photo. I requested they re cook the chicken and veggies, well done, and they were amazing, see 2nd photo. I ate the entire dish, while I continued to enjoy the chips, and got some to to :-).
So, I was torn on my review, but my reasoning for 3 stars at this point:
1st visit in years, second, the hostess seemed to be monitoring the tables consistently, which made me feel rushed. I know restaurants expect a good turnaround, especially at lunch, however, I was not sitting there talking. I ordered a second drink and continued to eat, until I was ready to go.
I do hope to get back soon, try something different and update my review.
Overall, I am glad I stop at Chiki's and look forward to giving them another shot or two.
