    We had Destiny today! Love her and she was training a new server who was very helpful. Our order was spot on and everything was perfect. Came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed but we got a table in 15 minutes! Took the remainder of our chips to go in a resealable bag. This is a good restaurant and literally the best prices for a dine in restaurant after inflation!

    Chilis is always our go to. From when my husband and I were dating to now, 10 years later, married with kids. Tonight we had a parents night out & Cal as our server. He served food, drinks, AND personality. 10/10! If you're looking for an enjoyable evening, go ahead & just head to chili's in Valpo. AND ASK FOR CAL!

    Fried Pickles

    Salty is what I would call the food we had today. We chose the 2 meals for $25 which includes one appetizer, two entrees & one dessert. Obviously you must choose from a list of items for this special priced set. We had decent service, however for some strange reason this is the second Chilis where the online queue service wasn't working properly. We walked in, gave our name, then had to sit in the car to wait out our time until we were called. We put in our order and the food came soon after. Again, the service was decent - the FOOD was NOT. Fried Pickles & The Fried Cheese Nuggets were our appetizer choices. (we did add an additional appetizer) Everything was salty and fried. Well, we knew it was fried. My son ordered the fried chicken tenders (a lot of fried food, right!?) and I ordered the 6 oz. sirloin w/mashed potatoes and broccoli. The chicken was okay...he ate most of them. However, the steak was just okay. I don't go to Chili's often and I never go for the steak, but it seemed like a good value. It was improperly cooked - more cooked on one side than the other. The mashed potatoes were very good. I could eat those again. The broccoli I was hoping would be tasty - but they were like downing a salt shaker! There was way too much seasoning and salt on them I couldn't eat them at all. I asked our server for another order without any seasoning. He had no issues in bringing it out for me. The new order without seasoning was VERY good. For dessert we chose the chocolate chip cookie. It's to be served in a skillet with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. We were full and got it to go. It was the toughest and most tasteless cookie we ever had. It ended up in the trash because either no one could eat it (too hard) or it had absolutely no taste. Should have chosen the cheesecake. I will never return back to Chili's - the food just isn't want Chili's was known for in the past. I remember great fajita's and burgers...but these items aren't even the same either. Maybe go for the drinks at the bar and appetizers that aren't all fried???

    Triple Dipper

    Chilis will always be one of the better fast casual spots, and the triple dipper will always be one of the better items to order. I come here to the Valpo chilis often, and always have a good experience. Food is always fast and tastes amazing every time. Service and quality is always great. $4 22oz drafts and food that is worth the money

    Old-timer Burger! Awesome!!

I would have enjoyed the lovely patio, but it also looked like it was about to rain! Our server was very nice and gave some excellent recommendations. Instead of chips and salsa, we were served their potato flautas. It was a nice change of pace. I usually fill up on chips and salsa and can't finish my main entree. For the table, my brother ordered a house special entree - Mariscada Valero's - which is a variety of sautéed seafood served with tortillas. It was perfect for sharing with our four person group. For my main dish, I ordered the skirt steak tacos with coconut rice on the side. I love coconut and I love rice. Who knew they go together so well! The skirt steak was cooked perfectly. I had my leftovers for breakfast and the skirt steak was still tender! I did try the lobster tacos (my sister-in-law's favorite). They were yummy - although a bit spicy. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it! Overall, we were really happy with everything. I will definitely make it a point to come here on my next visit!

    Taco Tuesday will never be the same for these Chicago guys who love good tacos and Lucha Libre…read more Life is God. Family. Tacos. Lucha Libre. Santo Tacos is the new temple of tacos. We drove a long way to get there and we were - initially - put off by the appearance. It kind of looks like a strip mall fast food joint appropriating the Lucha Libre legend El Santo. We walked in - not expecting much and walked out full of great food and great company. This is a must visit for Lucha fans and taco lovers. My last Birria taco was in Puerto Rico at a little hole in the wall that made their name on Birria tacos. I decided to see if this little joint in Valparaiso could compete. I warned Chantal (our server and occasional photographer) that I had high hopes for the Birria. She was unfazed. She knew. She was confident. We started with a nacho plate with salsa and guacamole and warm cheese sauce. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We stuffed out faces as we marveled at the décor. We discussed who was who in which poster and which masks were in our personal collections. When Chantal brought the three tacos to the table, it was clear to see they were of the highest quality, perhaps even better than Puerto Rico. The spices were blended perfectly. The meat was moist and the tortilla was soft where it needed to be and crunchy where it was supposed to be. Fresh food always elevates the dining experience. This food was all fresh and well prepared. I have been having bad luck with smoked jalapenos lately so I only ate half of it. It was also quite good, but I know the danger that lurks in a smoked jalapeno. My buddy got a burrito - it was a monster. He and I have eaten many Mexican dinners before or after a Lucha Libre show. He tends to eat with moderation. Not this time, he destroyed that burrito talking between bites about how good it was. We had Chantal take some pictures around the restaurant at various spots. We're two corny old guys having fun with our hobbies (tacos and Lucha Libre). She was very patient and accommodating - doing everything in her power to get the best pictures she could for us. When the service is five star and the food is five star - the only problem is the distance. We will be back - of course - but sadly not every Tuesday as we'd like.

    I was traveling for work and stopped at Santo Taco for lunch. I had no issue finding a parking spot…read moreand was seated right away. In terms of ambiance, the staff was cleaning and the TVs were old (poor quality) and had nothing of interest on. I ordered the poyo taco (loved) and the alambre (hated - the steak was so chewy. I know it's skirt steak, but this was not edible). I also ordered the churros; which were fine. It may be worth going back and ordering something different, but you can also get a taco just about anywhere.

    C'mon! Where else can you see live fish and shoot laser guns by day and nosh on wings and crab legs…read moreby night, all pretty much on the same property?! With Bass Pro Shops and Hooters it's a veritable one-two punch of family entertainment and refreshment! :-P It's been years since I'd been to a Hooters, so I wasn't expecting the "newer" style wings. I recall that in days of yore the wings came out with the drummies and flappers still attached to one another. Now, they're separated. This saddens me because that's what *all the other* wing joints do. Used to feel good that Hooters had this culinary way to separate itself. Alas, no longer. That said, I do like the light breading on the new wings. And they weren't overcooked to a leatheren crisp like the wings I've gotten lately from the place with the talking spokes-bison. I meant to eat ten and ate twenty! And the parm garlic and lemon pepper rubs are both winners. The crab legs didn't impress, though. The legs were tiny and the shell had no snap--more typical of the cheapo crab you get at AYCE buffets. (Here's another chance to stand out, Hooters!) Clam chowder is good and has a lemony tang.
