We have not been here in a very long time!
Sylvia C.

We hadn't been to Chili's on Mesa since a bit before the pandemic, and sadly, it is one of the many local restaurants that is struggling to get back to business. Upon being seated, the manager sat us in a booth right next to the noisy kitchen. I asked her if we could get a booth by the window, and she said to go ahead and seat ourselves! We moved to a booth by a window, where the seat was ripped, and the walls were dingy and very dirty! I tried to pull the chain to open the blind, but it was broken. The waitress was the only server in the entire restaurant! Luckily, it was not too busy, yet. We ordered shrimp and pasta, grilled chicken salad, and a bowl of chili. The salad was drenched in dressing, and I was famished, but sadly, I could not finish it. It was just too soupy. The waitress was wonderful! She was a very good server. It will be a long time if we ever return. Hopefully, they can get back on their feet sooner rather than later.

Half Order of Ribs
Kayla L.

Today for lunch we decided to have Chili's! We ordered through their app to have it delivered since we were sent a free delivery coupon through Chili's! I ordered the 3 mini burgers and my gf ordered the ribs! Everything tasted delicious! No complaints at all! I can always count on this Chili's to serve us good food!

Chips and Salsa--complimentary to Chili's reward club members every time you eat here!
Mike N.

Chili's--either you love them or hate them. I always have liked this chain since 1980's. Now, I've noticed there had been certain regional differences or more accurately menu changes and transformations over time. Chili's generally offer very decent salads. My favorite is Quesadilla Explosion. With very good amount of grilled chicken and simple quesadillas, this salad makes a very filling meal. Their complimentary (if you are a member of their reward club that you can join for free, and if you meet their criteria--frequency of your visit of this chain) chips and salsa with guac or queso is a very formidable offer. Current offer of 3 for $10 deal is a very good deal (now with 6 oz steak) for more budget-conscious folks. As for me I usually drink water and get a complimentary chips and salsa, so I'd opt for something else on the menu. Service really depends on which restaurant and who your server might be. I get a distinct impression that this chain is weak on their customer service training, thus significantly varies from individual to individual. I've had an excellent, friendly and very courteous ones to an outright rude ones. Menu selection is very enormous, but they typically do well with protein especially burgers and ribs. Aforementioned selections of salads are also good. If you are a type of person who avoids chain restaurants, you might want to give Chili's a try! You might be pleasantly surprised.

Build your own fajitas...I like
Tanya Y.

Chili's is my 'I'm not cooking tonight, but I'm also not changing out of these sweatpants and oversized T' go-to. Sure a lot of people come dressed in business casual, but I like to believe it's because they don't know any better (and by better I mean that there are limitless options to eat when you're semi-presentable). Honestly, Chili's is the Wal-Mart of restaurants. In a good way. I've ordered to-go here numerous times, but I recently decided to dine-in after my hunger consumed me and I wasn't willing to wait, make the drive there, and drive back before being able to take a single bite. Maybe it's just me, but I felt like dine-in portions were bigger too. We came in about an hour til closing, but both the hostess and waitress were still accommodating and pleasant. For some reason our waitress' tables were scattered, but she did a great job checking on each table and bringing out new drinks before even asked. Chili's is always adding (and taking away) dishes and I noticed some of the new items have a build-it-yourself aspect like the new versions of the guac and fajitas. It's an ingenious idea, lessen the word load of the cooks down to simple prep work and really allow the customer to customize their own food. We did end up getting guac, but we got the one that is already prepared and I was surprised to see the portion was much larger than I'd had previously. Hey, I'm not complaining though. The chips! Oh my lanta they are so fricken good. The chips are the reason I'm so in love with Chili's. Thin and perfectly salted. I would marry any person who bought me a endless supply of these. The salsa that comes with the guac has always had a weird place in my heart. It's extremely watery, but somehow it just pairs with the guac so well. On to my main course. I was so sad when the other fajitas disappeared (they were ridiculously spicy and came with a side of rice and even spicier beans) so I wanted to see how they stacked up. They're better. The heat is dialed way back and the amount of sides really let's you control how hot it becomes. You have the option to pick two different kinds of fajitas (steak, pork, or shrimp), but I just doubled up on the shrimp. The fajitas before only ever had 3-4 pieces of shrimp, but this came with a large amount (so much so that I could really load them up to the point that it was hard to close and I still had shrimp to spare). The toppings included sour cream, salsa, guac, red onions, cheese, and pico de gallo. I asked for extra cheese because that's just the way I roll. Overall, loved the fajitas and the seasoning on the shrimp was on point. Chili's just never disappoints me, but I think dine-in is the better option.

Yucky "skillet queso". Does this LOOK like "queso"???
B L.

I usually stop here when I want ribs. I PREFERRED the "old style", but they have substituted for "Texas style" - which is a fancy of way of advertising they are very fatty, so I may be looking for an alternative!! I happened to have an award for queso, and decided to try it. The picture on my rewards email showed a skilled with yellow queso topped by pico de gallo, which looked appetizing. What I GOT was a skillet filled with a sloppy brown mess resembling diarrhea, and tasted like a taco seasoning packet. It was pretty disgusting, and not sure why Chili's is passing this off as "queso"?!?!?!

Service is slow because management is slow. Manager you need help, hire more people servers mainly. Pay them more so that they stay.

Amazingly good flautas for an incredibly reasonable price. (They have other dishes too, but that's…read morewhat they are known for!) Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle. It's got heat as it's also creamy...I would call it medium (I like spicy food.) If you're getting them to go, you might want the sauce and toppings on the side. They usually ask about that, but occasionally they might forget. Service is usually friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Your food is made to order, so it's fast but not instantaneous. Allow 5-10 minutes for pickup most of the time. The dining room is medium-sized. I would say it's a place to eat and go, not stay and linger.

Stopped at El Taquito for breakfast during our move from WA to TX, and it was such a great choice…read more The staff was incredibly friendly, and the whole place had that warm, local-favorite vibe. We ordered the flautas with chipotle sauce and the chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing. We added a runny egg since we couldn't do chicken, and it gave the dish extra flavor and a good boost of protein. The flautas (which I'd honestly describe more as taquitos dorados) were crunchy and tasty. We liked the chipotle sauce that came with them, but we actually loved dipping them into the chilaquile sauce even more. Overall, it was a great spot to grab breakfast before hitting the road again for many more hours. Highly recommend!

Which were good (lacked a little crisp but had good flavor). The green salsa at the table was fantastic, a little slice but a ton of flavor. Everything was fresh, the chips were freshly baked, the rice was not day old rice like at so many places around here it was good and actually had some flavor, the beans were good (the bright orange color of the beans surprised me, turmeric? Regardless they were delicious). Unfortunately the meat had zero spices, not even salt. The only reason not taking off a star is the salsa paired perfectly with the shredded beef tacos and the green chili burger, but a little bit of salt would have elevated the meal for sure. There was no salt on the meat in any of the meals we'd ordered. The coffee was good and strong, the mugs weren't tiny little mugs they actually gave you enough coffee to enjoy and the experience over all was wonderful. My mom spoke Spanish, I border on no sabo, pero intendo and my kids speak no Spanish at all, the menu was all Spanish but the waitress was patient and sweet with every order. Definitely worth the visit.

So you can from time to time run into the mayor or some city representatives. Overall a very cool place that is definitely part of El Paso's history.

I always see posts asking about good BBQ. Well, I've found it! Move aside simple salt and pepper…read moreTexas style BBQ, Papamigos Tex-Mex BBQ is here! A splash of Texas and a sprinkle of Mexican bring this BBQ to over the top flavor town. Yup, I said. I envoked the Guy Fiere-ism. The BBQ is only available Fri-Sun, and it's located inside Fanatics on Montwood and Lee Trevino. The bar is a little divey, but it's clean and spacious. The times we've gone it's never super full, and the micheladas are cold. The bloody Mary's are on point if you like some spicy kick. Papamigos has an extra special Sun brunch yumminess as well. Check out their IG for pics. I haven't tried it, but we've tried their whole regular menu and nom nom nom. Here are some of our favs: The brisket is the most tender I've had. They have an AMAZING brisket taco with freshly homemade tortillas topped with an egg. Sigh! Foodiegasm! The pulled pork is tender and flavorful. It's little pork pillows of bursting flavor. The pork ribs are fall of the bone tender. My husband, an avid griller and smoker, took several mins to say something. That silence spoke volumes! The macaroni and coleslaw salads. These are not your traditional sides. They're light and compliment the BBQ perfectly. The coleslaw is a vinger slaw that is flavorful but light and balances the fattiness of the meats perfectly. The macaroni is this awesome combo of macaroni and elote. It's light and citrusy and comes topped with tajin. Just taste it. None of that heavy mayo mess here. (Trigger warning for mayo lovers.) The salsas are all homemade and have flavor but don't overpower all the smokey flavor they put into the meat. Below are pics of what we had today. The sausage bites and a two meat combo. This was more than enough for two people. Extra special: The place is run by brothers. They are orignially from the Valley but moved to EP. One of them always come out to check on you and ask about the flavor. Some might not like the chit-chat, but we do. It's quite clear they care about the food their making, and the food tastes like the love they put into it.

We get there and wait an hour and the said "Well you didn't make a reservation, that's why it's such a long wait". I guess that's a privilege they offer some people. My daughter ordered a taco, and they messed up that order. I ordered the fajitas and they were decent, and asked for a side of sour cream and cheese--$10 up charge for a tiny portion of the condiments. Ask for a few Cherrys for my daughters dessert, they up charged $3. Clearly this establishment is resting on their laurels of their former glory days as the whole experience and food was mediocre at best. We come in from Dallas every year and plan to hit up Kiki's, Tres Gallegos, or La Morena, or Track 1 next time. Not spending another dime here.
