Chili's Grill & Bar

I was never a Chili’s person growing up. But when searching for what places have the best happy hour, Chili’s certainly didn’t disappoint. Ever since then, I’ve been going more often. This trip, I just stoped in for some food with a friend. 3 for Me deal is top notch. Their chips and salsa are surprisingly delicious and addicting. Their chicken crispers are also to die for when they’re fresh. The Honey Chipotle ones were so good too. The service was good as was the food, and how fast it was cooked as well. I’ll always keep coming back for their happy hour.

I walked into Chili’s in Pico Rivera trying to escape the 99 plus heat. The cold air hit like relief and I headed straight for the bar. “La Bruja del 71” (bartender 1) handled the opening act. She moved with purpose, no smile, no chatter, just order taking and drink making. Efficient and serious. Every question received a short answer and a nod. It felt like dealing with someone guarding the courtyard like the show El Chavo Del Ocho. As her shift wrapped up she asked me to close out so she could hand the bar off. Polite, but you knew the decision was final. Enter “El Chavo" (bartender 2). Completely different energy. She greeted people by looking them in the eye, joked about the heat, and checked if the drink tasted right instead of assuming it did. She remembered what people ordered and

I have been coming to this Chili's for years. It's slow digressing. The atmosphere is not a exciting as it used to be, and the inside is aging. The service is still top notch. I had the trio sampler and it was lacking in flavor and quality. The food is expensive too. Plus, the chips and salsa are no longer free like the old days. I will return but not sure for how much longer. Aug 2024 update: I recently return and my experience was very pleasant. Had the combination plate which included ribs and sausage. Excellent tasting food at the valued price. Customer service continues to be outstanding. I will definitely be back.

There were 15 of us. We had just came from my husband's private viewing before he was cremated. We went here because that was our restaurant. The music 🎵🎶🎵🎶 that played the whole time we were there, were our songs. He was there in Spirit with us🙏❤️🙏❤️. The waitresses and waiters were very attentive. The food was great. Of course I will be back, only with my kids now...

The food is great and recently we were served by a gentleman Cody. He was the best server in any restaurant that I have experienced to date. Absolutely the best experience dining at Chili's. If you go there ask to be seated where Cody is serving, you will not regret it.
