    Average bar food. Service was super attentive though. We kept getting asked if we needed anything on a 3person rotation. Lol. It was just an okay, quick meal.

    Fried Mozzarella

    The service here was top notch. Our server came by many times to check up on us and make sure we were doing okay. The mozzarella sticks are overrated. But the 3 for me deal gives you the best bang for your buck since it comes with so many chips and salsa (if that's what you want).

    Stopped by to finally try the Triple Dipper I've been seeing everywhere on social media. I'm not sure if the hype online are honest reviews or if I went on an "off day" because everything we ordered was so salty! The Nashville hot mozzarella sticks in particular were hardly edible. The wings, and tenders were also not good. Based on all the food, would not come back. The only good thing was our server. Service was friendly and got seated quickly on a weekday.

    This is take out App was easy to use. Food was ready early When I arrived one other person waiting at the takeaway window. Lots of staff standing around but no one acknowledged us. When I finally stopped someone walking by in the restaurant they grabbed our food. Just frustrating that you tip before cause I wouldn't tip for this service. Got the triple dipper. The Nashville hot mozzarella was right next to the big bites. So the big bites were drenched in hot sauce. But the southwestern egg rolls were good. Also got free chips and salsa thru the app.

    3 for Me

    THREE FOR ME (4 stars) ... none for you. What a bang for your buck! - FOOD: Pretty decent! - PRICE: very affordable - SERVICE: great - AMBIANCE: nothing special On a real note, I haven't been to Chili's since my college days (and that was a hot minute ago). Not much has change with the atmosphere, big drinks for cheap price, and good basic fried finger foods. :: ORDER :: THREE FOR ME - pick a beverage, starter, and main. This was an overwhelming meal for a small someone and could easily be shared with another or packed the rest to-go. I don't know how to put it but to say it was, a lot. BIG SMASH BURGER ($10.99) - thousand island, American cheese, diced red onion, pickles, and lettuce - YES comes with fries. This was the cheapest of the "Three for Me" menu item. Ordered this with strawberry lemonade and chips and salsa. There were a variety of drinks and sides to choose from - choose wisely. The burger was a classic burger and not so much of a smash patty burger. The flavor reminded me of a fresher and tastier Big Mac. The bun was on the softer side, the patty had good seasoning, and every bite was satisfying. The fries were good, not too salty nor bland and had a fair crispiness to them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHIPS AND SALSA - I love me some good chip and salsa and this was surprisingly good. The chips were the very thin tortilla chips (exactly how I like them). No broken pieces. Little on the salty side but that can be covered when dipped into the salsa. The salsa was mild - average but why do I find myself like it more than many other salsa's I've tried at other restaurants?! HIGHLY RECOMMEND :: SERVER :: The staff here are so welcoming and nice. Food came out timely. They showed the perfect amount of attentiveness. I liked how they all seem to have fun working with each other. I tipped well because they did a good job! Until the next review....

    Margarita of the Month and Chips & Salsa

    This Chili's deserves a much higher rating!! When going to a chain restaurant, you never know if the one you go to will be clean and well equipped, and this one is truly a gem. It's always incredibly clean -- including the bathrooms. The servers are amazing (very attentive and helpful, going the extra mile like packing up fresh hot chips for you to take or bringing out a new plate if yours had an error -- even one you didn't notice!) and the food is always delicious. (If you're wondering about that "error": my wife ordered surf and turf but only got the steak. We didn't even notice and were happy with the food, but they noticed and instead of just bringing out the "surf" part to complete the plate, they brought a whole new plate and let us have both.) My wife and I go here almost every week as our little local hangout spot. There are always a variety of games playing on the TV and it's a great vibe to relax, eat chips and salsa, drink a $6 margarita, and read my book or play trivia on their little consoles. The margarita of the month is usually very tasty, but even if it's not your thing, they have lots of other cocktails. My favorite food items are the dip trio with salsa and queso, the brisket quesadilla, and the triple dipper when I'm feeling like it with mozzarella sticks, honey chipotle crispers, and big mouth bites or southwestern eggrolls. Whoever is managing this place is doing an incredible job and I hope they never stop!

    Chilis near SDSU is a good spot for quick food with your friends or family. Pros: the location being very close to Sdsu makes it a prime spot for quick late night bites or early afternoon food. I've come here a few times and I've gotten seated pretty quickly. I ordered the three for me deal for $11.99. This is a great deal. I unfortunately did not take a picture, but I ordered the burger and it came with fries, soup or salad, and a fountain drink. The people I was with order chips and salsa and Nashville mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were very good as always. The chips and salsa were decent. You could pay for your food with their kiosk tablet thing on the table but if you need help, you can always call a server and they'll be happy to split the bill however you want or to help if the technology doesn't work. Cons: the service here is a hit or miss you can get a really good server that is very fast and helpful, or you get another server who doesn't really tend to your table as often. There are bathrooms inside, but it is quite small and not as clean. The floors are a bit oily and felt like a floor from a Korean barbecue spot. Verdict: Chili's is a good spot for certain occasions I wouldn't expect too much good stuff in service or overall quality you get what you pay for and it's good quick cheap food, which is good for a college student being nearby campus

    Triple dipper with southwestern eggrolls, cheese sticks, and sliders
    Jason K.

    BB and I have been talking about going back to Chilis for what seems like years. The last time I went to Chilis was over 20 years ago, for reference. She wanted to go to the Mission Valley one, assuming it was nicer than the one on Sports Arena Blvd. In an ironic twist of events, right before we turned into the parking lot, we saw a panhandler who was literally bent over 90 degrees (the fentanyl fold), and upon parking and walking toward the restaurant, an enthusiastic tweeker started yelling "papasan, sifu, sensei!" to me, which I have to admit was hilarious. Entertainment, top notch. Ambience, maybe not so much. We were greeted warmly upon entering and seated promptly. We ordered drinks and then we ordered what seemed to be all the hype, the triple dipper appetizer combo (viral cheese pull) along with a smokehouse combo to share between us. The waitress was very pleasant and provided great service when she was at our tableside, but I wish she would have came by just once more to offer refills instead of us having to flag her down. The food was all just ok. The cheese stick which produces the infamous cheese pull taste like a typical frozen product thrown into a deep fryer, the southwest egg rolls were similarly average. The baby back ribs were more tender than we thought but just average as well. The best parts of the meal were suprisingly the brisket quesadillas (one of the choices from the smokehouse combo), which I would not hesitate to order again. I guess if you ordered the 10.99 burger with side and drink (as well as skimped on the tip), this would be somewhat economical, but after paying around 65 for the both of us after tax and tip, we felt that the hype was not only overrated, but overpriced as well. Not a bad place by any means, but probably won't be adding this to our rotation.

    Triple Dipper
    LINA M.

    First time at this location and it was for takeout. Cashiers and waiters were really friendly and helpful. Food did not take long to come out. Loved how they had a takeout side strictly for that it made the service quicker and efficient. Ordered the usual triple dipper and old timer smash burger on the 3 for me deal. Opted in fries and chips and dip. Their chips are light and crispy. They added too much salt though as some parts were salty. They literally give you half a whole bag of chips; it's a lot!

    First time coming to Chili's! We walked in and it was SUPER busy. We thought we were going to have to wait a long time and we were okay with it but surprisingly we got seated really fast, which was fantastic because we were hungry! I came with my friend and she wanted to try the triple dipper and I wanted mozzarella cheese stick (yes I wanted to see if it would do the cheese put when you bit into it but it didn't LOL) but the flavor of it was good. The rest of her triple dipper she liked and she liked the flavor she chose. I got the Ancho salmon. It was good. Our waitress was wonderful! She came and checked on us several times and asked us if we needed anything and she took our order right away. She was the best! The inside was big. Plenty of seating and lots of TV's so you can watch different sport games at the same time.

    Our home base Chili's. Consistently decent. Can't go wrong with the 3 for Me. Hubby always gets the fajitas. At our most recent visit, he got the steak and shrimp fajitas. The meats were well done but surprisingly soft. I would say it can be hit or miss in terms of tenderness. The burgers have been consistently good. Service can be hit or miss as well. Semi-fast, casual restsurant with reasonable prices.

    Ginger P.

    The $10.99 "3 for me" deal is actually such a fantastic value and that's why it gets 4 stars from me! The burgers are super greasy which is one downside, but the fries are crisp and delicious, portions are HUGE, and the side of chips/salad were nice as well. I've heard that Chili's has recovered its reputation in the past few years and is on an upward trend in popularity, and with deals like this I can see why! Fun/casual spot, good service, huge portions, good value. I admittedly had a pretty low opinion of Chili's in the past but I've been corrected.

    CHILI'S @ Camino Del Rio N If you haven't tried the Mozzarella sticks here, you have to get in your car and GO! My boyfriend and I came here on a Tuesday night, it was quite busy and a lot of people. We got seated fairly quickly, and the waiter was SO KIND to us! We ordered the 12 count, half normal and half Nashville Hot. It came out super quick and it was delicious! The ambiance is clean and any average american restaurant. I really enjoyed the place itself and the location. Parking was free and is right outside the place, shared in a complex. Highly recommend!

He walked me over and introduced me to the server at Las Hadas, and he was so friendly and welcoming! I had my dog with me so they both let me choose which patio I wanted to dine at. We decided on Las Hadas since they had low tables vs. the hightop tables at Freddy's. It was pretty empty inside and out on a Saturday around 1 pm so that was good for us! The restaurant is roomy and bright inside and the patio has plenty of tables. It was clean and semi-comfy, due to the metal chairs outdoor. The menus were kinda gross, sticky and dirty but love the choices they offer for food and drink. I started with a passion fruit margarita with casadores, that was really yummy. We ordered the guac and chips, chicken nachos and 4 tacos. The food was excellent! The chips were so crispy and fresh and the guac had just been made. Nachos were delish, esp with the beans, they put at the bottom of plate so had to dig for that. The tacos tho were the best, topped with a guac salsa and lots of meat. The corn tortillas are legit, they taste housemade. Our server provided excellent service and the pricing was very reasonable.

Nothing you would get food or drink wise felt it was justified and the food was really plain or didn't taste good. Ambiance was a bit of a mess too since it seemed to try and mix a lot of different themes together which didn't work out too well. I think it was for the best this business moved on. Let a new restaurant take it's place that can do a better job in the night life scene, or try something new and different.

So definitely a cute place to take pictures. Very much worth the trip if you are looking for something to eat in the area.
