My girlfriend and I stopped in on the way to Grand Casino and had our usual taco basket. These are by far the best tacos we have ever had and waste no time in looking at menus. They pack these tacos with so much meat and toppings that you literally have a small taco salad leftover. I absolutely recommend stopping and getting these tacos to anyone!!

I have driven by this place for years before stopping there for the first time. The fajita plate was easily big enough for 2, and cost 13.95. That pile of cheese in the picture was easily 1 cup or larger. It came with enough fresh veggies to make a salad, and 5 fajita shells. The BEST part, they were not stingy with the meat, unlike the big name restaurants (chilis, applebees, etc), and it was cooked exactly how I liked it! I saw some people order some nachos, they were easily stacked 6 inches high on the plate. The cheese curds were average, and so was the service. I don't freely give out 5 star ratings, but chico's really won me over with this dish. I highly recommend you try them, and I will be back. They are open Thursday through Sunday.

Clean floors, tables and restrooms. Nice atmosphere. Friendly and helpful server. Food was hot, delicious and plentiful. Although short staffed, service was quick. Moderate amount of people inside. Super friendly regulars made it feel like small town charm and inclusion. Highly recommended.

The staff is friendly and very attentive. We only get to that area every 3 months or so, and they remember what we order right down to lemons for our waters before we even ask. Large portions. We love the 3 different heats of the hot sauces. We get the super burritos nearly every visit, and love it. Clean restrooms.

Love Chico's! It had been a bit since I had been there but stopped in and had a great meal after a long day.

The fish was AMAZING! The drinks were strong without being over powering. The service was fast and friendly without being smothered or ignored. The area was clean and relaxed without it being to noisy.

Nice atmosphere with the dining room separated from the bar. Con: Too much cheese for my liking on the enchilada plate. Pro: The best fried ice cream I’ve ever had !!

Great convenient place to stop right off hwy 169 with tons of parking, cold beer, and yummy food. The 1/4 nachos are a huge plateful and absolutely delicious. We love the half chicken half beef nacho option. Cheap kids' meals that come with a drink and treat too. Claw machine & quarter candy for the kids and pull tab machines & TouchTunes for the adults.
