Chuck E. Cheese has opened in Querétaro! The pizza and arcade place Where A Kid Can Be A Kid has…read moreopened its doors across the street from opulent mega mall Antea. It's all here, almost: the pizza, the video games, skeeball, the Chuck E. costume, the ticket muncher, the salad bar, and singin' and rockin' Chuck E. Cheese band. I spent my very first couple of birthdays at Chuck E. Cheese, so I'm mostly glad to see a piece of my childhood in the city that I love, even though the Americanization of Querétaro and Mexico in general continues through this new wave of US-based chains that have opened in the country in the last couple of years. But I digress. The expanding franchise has brought all the goods. You can expect to see the combos of pizza, soda, and tokens, the many games that eat your tokens making you call an attendant, and Chuck E. Cheese coming out every hour to 'make it rain'. The pizza is OK. It is no secret that the chain has been trying to keep up with technological advancements that have encompassed hours of entertainment into a small screen, and that it has also suffered a decline in its quality and service, but the Mexican branch of operations offers something that was almost non-existent in the market. That being said, I would think that the pizza served here is still inferior to the one served in the US, but it is still good enough to serve as a more than apt snack between playing the arcade games. Before this opinionated list of personal reflection on the effects of capitalism gets too long, I'll present these final thoughts: Chuck E. Cheese is still a good place to get some pizza, have some fun, relive old memories or make new ones. Bienvenido a Querétaro!
