Chico's Reviews
Stopped by today to pick up lunch for my employees at work .. the people who were working were rude and literally threw the bag of food out the window at me .. when I asked about the drinks I had ordered and paid for the girl sighed at me and rolled her eyes . This is not the first time I have had bad service there but it will be the last cause when my employees say Chicos for lunch that will be a big choose somewhere else !!!
Not even 1/4 as good as the original owner! The tortillas are rubbery, chewy, and the meat is grease soaked. Overpriced & overhyped!
Got some tacos & nachos. Nachos were good but they did not cook the tortillas on the tacos??? They were cold, bland, and even had flour I dusted off to eat them. A few bites and I just took the tortilla's off and ate them like a taco salad.

Chico's is a restaurant that has been a special place for some customers for many years. It is known for its tacos, which one customer described as "absolutely delicious" and worth driving a long distance for. The tacos and pretzels are considered amazing, making it one of the favorite places for many in the area. The Sancho dish is also mentioned as fantastic, with a customer recalling memories of it since the '80s.
However, the restaurant can be busy with a long wait time during lunch hours. The seating is limited, and the location is surrounded by vehicles, which some may find less kid-friendly. Despite this, it has been noted that there are families with kids enjoying the atmosphere, as there are toys and outdoor seating for kids to play. The drive-through seems to be the main option for customers. The service is praised for being genuinely awesome, with staff always happy to help and ensuring orders are correct.
Parking is reported as generally good with quite a few places available. Accessibility is also noted, as there are no stairs and the pavement is smooth, making it easy to access. Vegetarian options may be limited, and customers with dietary restrictions are encouraged to ask for assistance. Overall, Chico's continues to be a beloved spot for many, making the most out of what they have.
