    chips
    Beth C.

    I came here with a group from a nearby convention. I ate at this same location a year ago when it was still Rojas, and really enjoyed it, and I was glad to find some holdovers from that menu. Our whole experience here was great. The day was gorgeous, and we sat outside. We gobbled up the delicious chips and salsa, and more was brought out for us. I had a cider along with quesabirria tacos. They were seriously good. My friends enjoyed their food, too, and a couple even tried the famed fried ice cream. Service was top-motch. I'd be glad to eat here again when I'm back for the convention next year!

    Chi Chi's is back and as good as I remember! Recommend getting reservations and going early to park in the nearby free underground garage or nearby ramp. Our server was a sweetheart and the food was perfect!

    Chi Chi's has been a recent hit in West End! Every time I drive by it is always packed! This was my first time here since it replaced Rojo, and I am definitely going back. Our service was excellent and so was the food! The only negative thing I have to say is I find it a little pricey. The Guac ($15) and Queso ($14) are priced far too high in my opinion compared to other local Mexican spots.

    For a Tuesday evening, it was pretty popping meaning there was a lot of customers there however, my party of seven we made a reservation and we were sat in a nice spot. The ambience of the restaurant was cool. They have flowers hanging from the ceiling and it was in a nice Area with other establishments. This was a place My family have memories at and the memory served kind of well as they remember the place somewhat like it was back in the day. The food was pretty good. I'm a majority plant based eater so I got the vegetarian bowl And it was very very good and it was fresh and it actually filled me up along with the chips and salsa that was pretty good as well.

    I finally made it to Chi-Chi's and let me just say... happy hour is doing exactly what it needs to do. First of all, if you're not pulling up between 2-5pm, you're missing the whole assignment. The deals are solid, the energy is right, and the menu actually hits. We're talking tacos, queso, and margaritas flowing, everything you want when you're trying to unwind but still feel a little cute about it. Now let's talk about the real MVP: Ashley behind the bar. Babyyyy... attentive, personable, and just the right amount of "I got you" energy. You can tell she knows her stuff and keeps the vibe going without missing a beat. That kind of service? It matters. And the margaritas?? EVERYTHING. Frozen, on the rocks, flavored, doesn't matter. They're strong, smooth, and dangerously easy to keep ordering. Exactly how a margarita should be. Overall, Chi-Chi's understood the assignment with happy hour. Good drinks, solid bites, and service that makes you want to stay a little longer than you planned. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I sit at the bar again? Without hesitation.

    I've been meaning to try this place since it's opened but it's been too busy (which is a great thing for a new restaurant). I finally made a reservation and went to check it out. It's a cool location in the West End, and honestly the decor looks just like the former restaurant did in that spot. Service was good but I was disappointed with the drinks and food. The house margarita was a watery and not very good. The chicken on the fajita had a strange sauce on it, fair and bitter and unnecessary. Sadly if they can't get Mexican staples to taste good, I won't be coming back.

    What a trip down memory lane! I have fond memories of Chi Chi's past. I wish the reincarnation of the restaurant had included the sweet corn cake. That was my favorite item at the old Chi Chi's, so I was disappointed that it wasn't included on the new menu. For the most part, the items we tried were good; we came for happy hour and the happy hour menu was pretty good! - House Margarita 4/5 ($8); was actually pretty tasty for a house marg - Happy hour beer 4/5 ($5) - Chips and salsa 4/5 (FREE!); house made chips and decent salsa - Queso 5/5 ($7) - Nachos with ground beef 2/5 ($8) - Taco 4/5 ($5); house made flour tortilla was tasty The nachos were the only disappointment. The cheese sauce (as opposed to melted cheese) made them WET and unappetizing. Also, the chips are thinner than I'd like, making the addition of toppings or dip a real problem. Our server, Shelby, was pleasant and attentive. The interior space was attractive, and the high ceilings made the acoustics very good. There was free parking in a ramp nearby.

    I've never been to chi chi's before despite many people having nostalgia of this renewed chain. I made a reservation for a Wednesday night and I'm glad I did since it was very busy. The chips went down easy as they are incredibly thin and crispy. I ordered the chicken fajitas and liked the grilled flavor. I couldn't finish my plate since the entree was substantial. I like that they make the flour tortillas in house. You can watch the process in their open kitchen.

    Went here on a date night. I was initially excited about coming here as I remember Chi Chis in Brooklyn Center years ago growing up. I have to say I was disappointed though. Doesn't have the feel I remember growing up. The atmosphere was nice I give it that. It had a southwest Mexican and tropical feel with open space and lots of seating. We walked in and there was no one to greet us. It took awhile to get a seat. Once seated we moved seats cause the place we sat was small. No refills on water, had to ask for silverware, even asked for salt and the server couldn't find salt. Not a lot of condiment options, as a Latin restuarant you'd think they have tapatio or more Hispanic condiments but there wasn't any mentioned, We ordered ceviche, and Sonora which was two enchiladas and birria taco. The food wasn't that great and too expensive for the quality of food. I ordered the Mexican punch which was me pretty good. Other than that high prices for not so tasty food, and service wasn't super great.

    The place has a great vibe...Jam packed on a Friday night...have reservations! Menu was smaller than what I expected in regard to appetizers. The main course options were decent. I ordered the fajitas. They came out sizzling..The presentation was good but it lacked in flavor. I was in a large party and everyone seemed to enjoy their food overall. I would go back.

    Roger G.

    I had the chicken fajitas to go. Everything was still hot when I got back to the room. I like the salsa more than the chicken but everything was good. Chips were thin and fresh, and the to go order came out fast. The Spanish rice was flavorful. I tried to eat the beans but they didn't include a fork and the chips were too thin for scooping. Overall nice meal.

    Chips and salsa
    Stephanie P.

    I've been wanting to try the new Chi-Chi's for so long and I'm glad we did as it was all really good. The chips and salsa are reminiscent of Rojo and very good. They were thin and salty and the salsa had a nice texture. We both had the white sangria. They portion was perfect for only $11 and it was fruity and refreshing for a beautiful night outside. The chimichanga was enjoyed. The short rib filling was good as was the corn cake. The sauce on top was a little heavy/indulgent though. Birria tacos were good as well. Short rinse filling was tender. Rice and beans were good. The consomme for dipping was just ok though, thought it could have been a bit deeper in flavor. We sat outside and the patio space is huge, it's on both sides of the restaurant. Service was really good as well. There is a free underground parking ramp too. I look forward to another visit.

    Great food, loved the drinks, excellent service! Upbeat energy/music. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a date night! It wasn't too loud where I couldn't talk toy husband. There were also several TVs where various games were playing. The waitress came to our table several times to check on us. Will definitely go back!

It even came with a side salad and salsa to dip it in! For $15-16 it was a large portion and easily was 2 meals. I ordered online for pickup and it was ready quickly at the counter but the restaurant also looked cute inside so I would be interested in stopping in for a meal sometime too! They also have a coffee bar (pistachio latte was good) and free indoor parking for restaurant customers).

Relatively easy to find, though you do have to hunt a little bit, Flora Room sits behind a nondescript metal door leading down a short hallway to the entrance. Take a long moment to allow your eyes to adjust if you're coming before sunset; this space is DARK. It's also perfect. Once your "night vision" kicks in you're surrounded by a nice bar, numerous bistro-style tables and booths. Candles adorn the tables creating a nice, cozy place to settle in for drinks. Once seated in comfortable chairs at a table, we were quickly greeted and provided with menus. The cocktail selection is relatively "small" but really nicely varied. Prices seemed a tad steep but frankly, given the quality of the drinks I'd say quite worth it. I started out with the Evita, a nice flavorful gin-base cocktail topped with a nice egg white foam. Very tasty. My wife opted for the Tapaculo, with gin, mezcal, pineapple, banana and bitters over ice. Also quite good. There are also bites available from the associated restaurant I can't recall the name of mine but I can say it was delicious. Bread-like bites with a really tasty dipping sauce. To close out the visit I selected Palo, a smoked aged rum cocktail that was really nice and rich. My wife chose the Nahualito with rum, walnut, amontillado and white chocolate. All should be on your radar. Flora Room really fit the bill for a nice, intimate speakeasy-style spot to spend time. Dark and cozy. Savory cocktails and friendly service will stand out and make you want to return. I know we'll seek it out if we return to Minneapolis again. I hope so.

Fortunately, I arrived at 5:30 PM on a Saturday, which was early enough to avoid a line and a velvet rope. I don't wait in line for anything unless I'm at a pharmacy, bakery, post office, or airport. Lines at restaurants and bars strike me as pretentious or bad management, and I don't tolerate either. However, I'm old, and at my age, nothing is worth waiting for unless it's a necessity. I found a seat at the beautiful and expansive bar and looked around at the Del Prado design. The colors might be different, but Flora was reminiscent of Minari and Noma. All three add to the Twin Cities' cachet. However, I was taken aback by the attire I saw around me. People were dressed in shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers. It's friggen Saturday night Minneapolis. Have some class! Flora Room was a lovely cocktail lounge, perfect for wooing, but don't expect to strike up a conversation with any of the bartenders. At these Del Prado joints, the staff must be trained not to engage. I'm out alone and enjoy talking. Bartenders used to be part of a lounge's attraction when I grew up in NYC. They learned your name, knew what you did, and gave you a hearty welcome. That, I guess, is not part of the culture in Minneapolis. Well, at least not at the Del Prado restaurants and bars. Chef Del Prado is from Argentina, and certainly, Argentina is one of the warmest and friendliest countries in the world, so I don't get it. I now live up the block from the Flora Room. I'm a neighbor and would like to be treated like one. Neighborly and the Flora Room are distant concepts.
