Chili's

            Normally Chili’s was not planned to be in my spectrum of taco shop visits but since they had tacos on their menu I was sure to try out and see if it was worth being curious. Chili’s for those who don’t know it’s a traditional American family restaurant where they serve a variety of foods ranging from fajitas, to hamburgers and of course tacos. It’s a sit down restaurant in the back of the Otay Ranch Mall, so the location is a little inconvenient since some guests have who are new to the area have a hard time finding the place.

            I ordered fried chicken tacos and the quality was not what I expected. The food was prepared well enough, but the mixture of items in the taco was not tasteful whatsoever. The tortillas were too fluffy thus overwhelming the overall flavor of the taco. The taco plat consisted of three tacos, rice and beans. So the quantity was ok and filling. However, the beans and rice were prepared as if they were from a giant can that would be bought probably from U.S. Foods. The tacos contained guacamole (which was amazing) with lettuce, bacon corn and other ingredients that didn’t help. So the overall quality was not the greatest, but what can you expect from an American style taco. The service wasn’t too great either. Although it didn’t help that the party I was in consisted of 13 people, the service still could have been faster and better for a restaurant that was not busy at all. It’s understandable but sill not acceptable. Last but not least the pricing was a little steep, however the meal is filling it surely shouldn’t cost more than 12 dollars.

Overall I wouldn’t really recommend this restaurant since its not really known for its tacos, but I would surely go for their hamburgers and famous fajitas. I give Chili’s a 7 out of 10 for their tacos.
