    Blackberry Margarita

    Brie (apologize if I spelled this wrong) was the best server we have had by far. She was on top of all our drinks and there where 8 of us. She was friendly, upbeat, and totally awesome. If you have a chance to sit in her section you will not be disappointed. Oh ya and the food was great too. Steaks, fajitas, and burgers were all very good. Nobe of us were disappointed. Awesome experience for our Birthday girl's dinner.

    Grilled Shrimp Tacos and Burger Sliders.  Delicious!

    I have been to this Chili's many times, and have never had a bad experience! My most recent visit (back in January 2014) was no different! My go to is the Grilled Shrimp Tacos with rice. Awesome every time! My partner gets different things each visit, and he's usually satisfied. My only complaint is that I wish they'd build a third Chili's in downtown Des Moines or on the South Side, as they need more restaurants! I suggest you ignore Justin B.'s review, as I have never seen that kind of behavior here, but that WAS six years ago, mind you. To the foodies who eat local only: Why are you even reading this when you do nothing but knock the chain restaurants? Chili's is a chain, I'm well aware of it, and yes I dine at places like Centro and Mezzodi's, too! So don't call me a guy with bland taste just because I eat at Chili's...perhaps it's you who needs to do that to get an ego boost. End rant. Bottom Line: EAT AT THIS CHILI'S! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

We got chips, queso, regular salsa, and hot-hot salsa. The chips are now a lighter type that is just as tasty but not quite as filling. I recommed the Margarita El Toreado-a shaker of the tasty beverage that will top off your glass 2-3 times. A couple of others in our group got the Sex on the Beach cocktail - a fruity blast of juices and alcohol. We got a variety of dinner times. I got the Spicy Burrito, which was very tasty, but not spicy...at least on this visit. My wife got the Seafood Enchilada, which was a nice slightly creamy dish. Others got the Arroz Con Pollo (her go-to), Texas Burrito, and 2 got the Carnitas Tacos (their favs). The kids got the Grilled Chicken - a nicely flavored dish, and the other tot got the Kids Enchilada - she ate the whole plate of enchilada, rice, and beans. Our food came out in just a few minutes, and the servers are always checking in and making sure your experience is great. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and they are always genuinely happy to see you! We'll keep coming back again and again!

It's family restaurant status continues making them a worthwhile option if you are looking for a solid meal at a reasonable price. Our favorite is to have their "four square" breakfast v(for dinner, of course), where you get bro select your four favorite breakfast items to build a custom meal. The pancakes and eggs are always spot on and delicious. Also with checking out is their smash burger Monday night: a well-prepared hamburger and a side for a great price. Pie is not usually my thing, but when I am done n the mood, Bakers Square is a first thought. Many options, all good, and the occasional limited time pies to expand your sweet tooth horizons. Things to know: * Located just a couple of blocks off of I-35/80 at University Avenue on the west side of town. * Free drink refills and, if you're polite when you ask, you can take your drink to go.

It's nothing fancy. Friendly and fast service. It had Mexican music playing on the speakers but it was more of a pop/rock Mexican, not the typical music you usually hear in establishments like this. I enjoyed it. Great Mexican beer on tap for what I thought was reasonable prices. Chips and salsa are good. You have to get the Hildago Molcajete. Huge, temperature hot, layers of different stuff, fantastic. Plenty of leftovers. True molcajete served in the stone bowl. No restaurant is cheap anymore. But this place is pretty reasonably priced, and I thought the food is as good as any other local Mexican restaurant

I found what will probably be my go to going forward. We were seated close to the bar. This was also a little closer to the kitchen and were attended to right away. The chips and salsa hit the table right away and we ordered up the guacamole and the queso. Everyone is always really nice and helpful. TVs on over the bar and music plays. I ordered the Huevos con Chorizo this time. Two scrambled eggs with chorizo, Mexican sausage, served with rice and beans. I had them hold the beans. Food came fast again. I was doing the happy food dance my eggs were so good. Once again, an all around great experience. 3 times out of 3 so far.
