    Enchilada Cup of Soup Watermelon Iced Tea
    Daisy C.

    We always have a good time at Chilis. We came in for the "3 for me" deal on a Tuesday at 2 p.m. there was a good amount of people, but definitely not a lunch rush. Our servers were very attentive and checked in on us throughout our meal. They also let me sub out the sides for the sirloin steak meal and take an iced tea to go. I ordered the steak "medium" and it was perfect! Easy to chew and very flavorful. There new mushrooms were yummy and very filling. The corn is a staple. The enchilada soup is too salty for me, but it was included so I can't complain. They have lots of fun drink options so I ordered a watermelon iced tea. It was sweet and the watermelon flavor was subtle. My partner ordered a burger, fries, and chips with salsa. Overall good food and good service.

    Meh. Don't order the boneless to-go unless you want microwave nuggets. Tenders and quesadillas were okay.

    Chilis has come to Merced and I gladly welcome a new place to grab some bites and drinks! Located in the Merced Mall plaza and with plenty of parking. They have a full bar with wine, spirits, and beer on tap. Happy Hour is 3-6 M-F and all day on the weekends! The lighting in this store is nice and bright! When my friend and I got here, the wait for a table was 45min. We got a seat at the bar and sat down right away because spots were available. Our server/bartender was Sylvia, who was helpful and attentive. We both ordered margaritas. Mine was the Presidente and my friend ordered the Straw-Eddy'Rita. So delicious! We ordered the Ultimate Cajun Pasta and split that between us. It was a pretty hearty portion so we were happy to split it, plus it was delicious! The menu is pretty typical of a Chili's but the staff were very helpful and kind! I'm looking forward to coming back!

    WHAT a MESS!!

    I was hoping that after my last phone call to the manager last Doordash order, that they would stop sending out bad lettuce but ah, contraire. Third salad probably means we won't order again. Come on, people!! DON'T put the containers with cheese, guac and pico de gallo on their sides!!!! What a sickening mess.

    This new location is beautiful from the outside, in the parking lot of the Merced Mall. Went in on a Sunday afternoon with my 10 year old granddaughter. Hostess asked if we wanted a kids menu, which we replied yes. She took us to a table and laid the kids menu down with a crayon. After she left, I realized there was no adult menu for me! I went to the hostess stand and retrieved a menu. Our server came pretty quickly and we ordered drinks and meals. Our drinks never came. Had to ask for them. Finally came. Asked for a straw. Never came. Intercepted her going to another table...my straw? Got our food. Can we get some BBQ sauce. Never came. Finally asked the manager for some. (Told him we have the worst server ever! - he was unphased! No Followup!) The chicken strips were over cooked and could not be easily bitten through. Fries were lukewarm and soggy. Sliders were ordered with meat well done. They made the buns well done and burned. Meat was rare! Server was very inattentive and absent minded! This place has bad mgmt and bad service. It was dirty inside. The new architecture makes the dining area shared with the bar in one large loud room. A 49er football game was on and the bar patrons were very loudly yelling at the game! This was our first AND last visit. It's amazing that Chilis spends millions of dollars building a beautiful new location and then pissing it away with zero caring/talent managers, cooks and servers! It's a common tale...

    3 for me with smash burger

    #Justinmadeithappen. We didn't make it easy on him and the rest of the crew. 25 hungry college students requesting to sit together during rush hour, and Justin said "No fret, we got you." The food was muy delicioso, and had my friends and me closing our eyes as we bit into our juicy, aromatic, meaty burgers. We are not from the Merced area, but would highly recommend this place to any remotely hungry sojourner looking for an affordable, food-coma inducing meal!

    Overly salty chips and salsa

    We were unfortunately incorrectly charged for something we never ordered. The server was apologetic but the manager said it was our fault.

Music isn't too loud. They have a bunch of TVs with different programming. They don't serve food but it's in the same mall as a bunch of restaurants. Wingstop is a few spaces down and they stay open later than the bar. You can grab some wings before you go home.

The music and vibe are great usually on Thursday through Saturday nights. If you go early enough, it's attached to Thai Cuisine II and you may be able to order Thai food and drinks at the same time. They also have QR codes attached to the tables so that you can order drinks on your phone, if you're able to get a seat. Once the bartenders are done serving the people in line, they'll deliver your order directly to your table. Unfortunately, the owner (Bobby, I think his name is) doesn't necessarily have the best sense of hospitality and can be rude sometimes. My friend ordered three waters for our table after she ordered some shots, and the owner gave her attitude as if it were such a chore to get us those waters. I didn't see a self-serve water station so I didn't appreciate the attitude. He can be quite dismissive, unless you're a fresh new female who he can flirt with. A different time, my female friend was visiting from out of town and all of a sudden, he was extremely attentive to us and friendly. A change from his usual sour demeanor. I don't go here too often due to the lack of a welcoming vibe from the owner (his staff are usually fine and generally more easy to get along with). Every time I go back, I'm reminded why I don't go too often anymore.

    Vinhos - Nice jazzy atmosphere with vintage movies playing on the main screen. Super friendly staff and very tasty food.

We stopped in just before 6:00 and we're greeted by a friendly woman getting the restaurant ready for opening. We later came to find out she was an owner. She was so sweet and offered to seat us before the servers actually showed up, as they had worked a local event that day. The waitress soon came and our wonderful experience began. They have a great wine list and wine cocktails. We ordered three dishes and were pleased with the presentation and flavors. Pica-Pau - a traditional Portuguese dish with beef and spices in a delicious broth. It's served with bread for soaking up the broth. I really enjoyed this dish, especially the broth. Crostini di Mare - shrimp on crostini's with a tangy garlicky sauce on top. This was my favorite and I wouldn't hesitate to order this again. Sea Legs - octopus over a sweet potato mash. This was tasty as well and the octopus was cooked perfectly. The sweet potato mash is divine!! We also had a Caprese salad, pretty average, but nice presentation. The outdoor seating area is comfortable and so nice to people watch on the main drag. We really enjoyed ourselves and plan to go back next time we visit. The service is excellent, portions in line with tapas and atmosphere is great.
