    Stopped by Chili's in Carson and I have to say -- it was exactly what I needed to close out Black History Month on a high note. The atmosphere was relaxed, the food hit the spot, and the bartender was great. Super attentive, personable, and made sure everything was right without hovering. Sometimes you just need good service, good energy, and a place where you can unwind -- and that's exactly what this was. I'll definitely be back.

    Terrible customer service

    Terrible customer service told me for my party size 6it would be 15min waited the 15min went back she then stated it would be 30 and she never stated that it would be 15min terrible customer service

    I enjoyed my time sitting in the bar area . Had yummy drinks and this cheese stick appetizer. I highly suggest asking for the Nashville sauce in the side bomb !!!! It truly made me cheese sticks so delicious. Tammy was a great bartender . I would come back and eat or drink in this bar area at chillis Carson .

    We came here for a brief meeting and were able to get seated right away next to the bar. There was a guy at the bar who every time I turned my head to the left I just kept seeing his butt crack. I was so annoyed we asked to be moved -- cause that's not the work of THE LORD for my life to be having a discussion, trying to eat then having to see some guys crack... NOPE! We were moved to a muuuuch better spot. We ordered salad, soups, burgers and fries. We even stayed after we were finished with our meal and it didn't feel rushed like we had to leave immediately since we were still having our meeting. Overall, good experience and I'd return again!

    Yum! Chocolate molten cake!

    I have been to this location many times. I came on Thanksgiving Eve and the restaurant was filled to capacity. Yes, it's popular. We were seated immediately. They have a special where you can get an appetizer, an entree and a drink. I got the house side salad, smash burger and fries, and strawberry lemonade. My cousin got a soup, chicken fingers and a strawberry lemonade. The drinks came right after we ordered and the appetizers followed. The service is pretty fast. The bathrooms were dirty when was there but the rest of the restaurant was clean. The noise level is average but know this place gets busy. It's located in the Carson Pavilion Shopping Center so take that in mind. My check was $38 including tip. That's reasonable. Food was decent. Service was adequate.

    Went for the drinks. What I ordered (drink wise) looked nothing like what I received AT ALL, BUT it was delicious so I'm not complaining ahaha. Also got boneless buffalo wings and chips and salsa, didn't get a picture of that but it was decent. One server gave us crumbs instead of whole chips, but our waiter noticed & brought us fresh whole chips. Definitely would comeback for the drink we substituted vodka for the tequila though. Service was slow, they were really busy for a Monday.

    Ok so I've been here multiple times but i usually sit at the bar for faster service since it's always me and my wife but Today I brought my kids & nephew and let me tell you it was by far the worst experience ever. This service was inexcusable they sat us down and that was it I had to keep calling on someone to help us out and it's crazy because they had lots of worker walking around it was just our waiter he couldn't help out at all it took us 2 hours basically to get out food and eat and don't get me wrong the food was really like always it's just the crappy service that I hate .

    I love drinking here this is so delicious!!

    My first time at Chili's in decades, and had a great (sentimental) experience. Our waitress (Bri or Brie or Bree) was so nice and made the experience comfortable, and attentive. Will come back!

    The service was great off the bat me and my friend and service dog were greeted, sat, attended too with kindness from I believe our servers name was Russel if I got it wrong my apologies, hey gave great recommendations since it was our very first time at Chilis. I had the Santa Fe Burger with a side of their Mac & Cheese and the burger was perfect fries were good the Mac & cheese was good not great a bit watery. The restaurant was really nice and clean the booth was comfortable and very clean they had a few basketball games going on the hospitality was great, I'd definitely come here again to try their famous baby back ribs for sure!

    We went in for a quick meal with my father in law. He wanted the baby back ribs. We ordered drinks (alcohol) they were amazing!!!! We shared a full rack of ribs and had french fries and mashed potatoes. The ribs were falling off the bones, just the way I like them, the sauce was delicately sweet. My husband had a Long Island ice tea, I had a blueberry margarita. The margarita was one of best I've had. Our servers name was Deontrea.... Probably not how he spells it. But, he was extremely attentive. Our food was served within 15 minutes. The restaurant was noisey and mostly packed. But we were seated right away. I'm not a fan of Chili's but I will return, if only for that drink.

    The Big Smasher Burger

    Brought my mom in for lunch while visiting her in CA. Our server was very nice and attentive (Shakira), but the food was a bit of a disappointment. I ordered the appetizer "You Pick Three" (Southwestern Egg-rolls, Chicken Tenders, and Sliders) and it was served super greasy! The egg rolls were somewhat smashed/flattened out and the chicken tenders were bathed in the sauce, which was the cause of the greasy mess on the bottom of my plate! I was not too pleased! My mom ordered the smash burger and it too was very greasy. She said her fries were good and they must've been, because she ate them all! This Chili's just wasn't the same as others, but hey, not all have the same cook! I'm sure it was just a rough day in the kitchen...

    Dear Chili's Customer Service Team, I am writing to share a very disappointing experience I had today at one of your locations. I placed my order at 9:20 PM and arrived to pick it up shortly after. By 9:48 PM, we were still waiting at the pickup area with no assistance from any staff members. There was no one attending the pickup counter, and we had to wait an extended period without acknowledgment. After waiting for quite some time, I had to call out for assistance. When I approached a staff member and politely asked if someone could help us, she responded, "We're closed, it's 9:48 PM," in a very rude tone. We were only there at that time because we had already been waiting so long without assistance. There was a paper bag sitting on the pickup rack, and she asked, "Is this yours?" I responded, "How am I supposed to know?" since she had not asked for my name or order number to confirm the order. The entire interaction felt dismissive and unprofessional. I understand that closing time can be stressful, but customers who place orders before closing should still be treated with courtesy and respect. I truly enjoy your food, but experiences like this make me reconsider returning. I hope you will address this matter and ensure better customer service in the future. Sincerely, Disappointed customer!

We originally stopped by just to try their ceviche, but what made us stay was the chips and salsa! The chips were warm, crispy, and the salsa had a nice kick that really stood out. That convinced us to stay and have dinner. We ordered the ceviche and a burrito plate (carne asada), and both were delicious! The ceviche and salsa was so good that we ended up ordering more for our get-together during the NBA Finals weekend. It was a hit. We did add more lime for our preference.

I was luckily able to bring 2 of my friends with me to try this place out! I came on a Saturday and there was only one other table that was occupied. It was pretty empty which saddened me because once I tried the food I was BLOWN away. The chips and salsa come complimentary as a starter/table finger food. that salsa... oh my. the salsa!!!! I am soooooo PICKY with my salsa. They absolutely nailed this salsa. The flavor, spice level, texture!!! It hit every single mark in my brain and taste buds. If the house salsa is good, then you know the food is also going to smack. The menu looks so appetizing, it was honestly hard to decide what I wanted to eat. I ordered some steak nachos as an appetizer with my friends based on a photo I saw on Yelp. 12/10. beautiful!!! They put a healthy portion of meat on it! Everything was just so spot on. The tortilla chips were all crunchy, no soggy nacho chips here. The sour cream, guac, pico... please order it. The meat was so flavorful, tender and had like no fatty pieces on it. Everyone needs to try it honestly. I ended up going simple and ordered a steak torta with everything on it. The waiter offered a side of jalapenos as well, which I happily accepted. 10/10. I was only able to eat half. I gave the other half to my extremely picky father and he liked it a lot. That's how you know this place is that girl. Can't forget the dessert. I ordered the flan, the waiter convinced us.. he said its home made. Which I would hope! It was a small piece and was flavorful. Creamy, smooth, just melt into your tongue. Also melts into your heart. Not overly sweet. Just the right amount of cajeta on it. 10/10. Horchata was very tasty to me. Right amount of sweetness to it. Service was good. Drinks were always filled, salsa and chip refills were always offered and filled. He took great care of us. They gave us lollipops with the check!! Omg so cute, my heart! Parking is difficult as it is only street parking. Majority of the parking also gets taken by the customers who go to the coffee shop across the street. I am def bookmarking this place to come back. It is so delicious. I plan on bringing my family here next. Me enamore de este restaurante!

It's like an artist's palette board with four earthy mole colors. Mole Rojo, is an auburn blend of chilies, nuts, chocolate, and spices. The enchilada's corn tortilla is wrapped around my favorite filling, tender and juicy carnitas. My favorite mole is the Mole Negro, black as the nighttime sky with a deep smoky and sweet flavors. The dry chilies, sesame seeds, nuts, Oaxacan chocolate, and herbs provide a velvety sauce for the chicken picadillo. The darkly hued Mole Coloraditos has a little bit of a spicy kick from its toasted chilies, nuts, sesame seeds, chocolate, tomatoes, and spices. It's hard not to use the shredded beef enchilada to swab the plate clean. I would seriously lick the plate clean if I was at home. OK, the last one isn't a mole. The Salsa Verde is tangy from its tomatillos, green chilies, onions and garlic. The crumbly chorizo and cheese enchilada is comforting. The enchiladas are topped with queso fresco, onions, and parsley. Parking: There's plenty of street parking, but you may have to walk a couple blocks.
