Truly a hole in the wall. When we drove up we thought it was closed but we saw a light in the window that says open. OMG am I glad my friend and I stopped very very good authentic Mexican flavor. The food was absolutely one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been in. Honestly I was a little worried but absolutely surprised and a happy way. I had the enchiladas and my friend had the taco salad. 100% fresh tasting and perfectly seasoned. Definitely an older building but don't let that put you off very clean inside bathrooms clean. Waitress was on point and took care of us very well.

Fantastic place. My family has been going for many years. The food is always great & portions are generous. The salsa is the best I’ve ever had and I’ve eaten at Mexican restaurants all across the country. Service is always very good, place always neat & clean.

My love and I really enjoyed the delicious food at Chico's. We went there based on other people's reviews. It was tricky to find a good place to park because they were busy. The exterior made us think that it was an older run down restaurant. However the interior was quite nice. The food was delicious and the wait staff were friendly and helpful.

Maybe it’s the “to-go” aspect that makes this food seem overpriced and mediocre? The fajitas carry-out are more like a stew, the flavor is not the greatest but sadly I’ve had worse. They charge and additionally fee for using Credit without telling you this is going to happen. The outside is questionable but the inside looks a bit warm, hence the not 1 star. Food was served out in a reasonable time however it took about 5-6 min for anyone to acknowledge my presence at the counter even though there was hardly anyone at the location. Personally, I won’t be coming back any time soon, maybe after some positive changes. Who knows, it could happen, unless they don’t care about reviews…
