“Great place! The plating of the food was fantastic, as were its flavors! Relaxed, inviting atmosphere and gracious staff. Gorgeous interior. Total package. It's not always easy to make a "fancy" looking plate with tex-mex... Very nicely done.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Diverse menu but not TOO much to get lost your first time.

“Another great experience today. It’s back under the original name of Chips and Salsa. My wife and I have been here many times in the past. The food is good and love that I have other options than Frankie’s. They are offering 2 free margaritas at until they get a new license. Great out to Chips and Salsa and help support our local businesses.“

“Decided to try this Chili's Grill & Bar location. We grabbed lunch and got seated as soon as we walked in. We order our drinks frozen margarita and strawberry margarita on the rocks. My main corse was Chicken Cajun Pasta side of garlic bread when received wasn't hot as I anticipated but it was warm. Then, order one of my favorite desserts chocolate molten cake. It was yummy as always. I will be going back and thank you to the gentlemen waiter.“

“Picked up for dinner last night. Bacon Ranchers Burger & Southwest Eggrolls - our favorites. Was ready to go as soon as I got there and all was perfect, such a treat for a decent price.!“

“Yum!!! I feel like I’m late to the party with a visit to this restaurant but we will be back and be back often. I have been craving plantains for months. I did a google search and BOOM Lilly’s Cafe was in our part of town.

We arrived on a Saturday at 9 am ish. Parking is awful, it’s in a strip mall and there's a coffee shop next door. We were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant was bright and clean with high ceilings, ample seating, several TVs and what appeared to be a fully stocked bar.

We ordered coffee and water. To our surprise they offered flavored creamer. BONUS!!! I selected the French toast platter with a side of PLANTAINS. My husband had the Haystack Signature offering with a side of black beans. There was so much food neither of us finished.

The only ding was the ladies restroom. The building is very old and while the restaurant received a makeover the bathrooms did not. A single women’s restroom with a coffee table for a “changing station” and non ADA compliance. The hallway, doorway and bathroom were all too small for a wheelchair. And they were out of TP.

Service was great and you can see they were working as a team. Menu was in English and Spanish. Food came out pretty fast and hot. Can’t wait to go back and try additional dishes (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and meals. Dessert offerings look amazing, including PLANTAINS and Crêpes.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu. Noticed smiley faces on pancakes at the other table. Lots of space.“

“From service to food they are a great place to enjoy your meal. Their guacamole is fantastic and portioned to perfection“

“The enchiladas are AWESOME. They don’t hold back on these bad boys. Delicious, highly recommend!“

“Maria is awesome! 😎👍 great food and even better prices!“

“First visit today. A cheerful and helpful Manager helped us choose the perfect mid day lunch! Fresh and delicious tacos along with a very tasty chicken fajita salad with the best dressing around- jalepeno ranch! Don't leave without trying the margarita! Mix the delta force salsa with the regular salsa. 👌

Clean bathrooms too.
Kudos to Shayla and her team
Awesome first impression 😀“

“Met my daughter for dinner here and it was great! Nice atmosphere, great food and drinks.“

“Great food and our server, Travis, is always amazing and goes above and beyond for us each visit.“

“great service strong drinks really good food“

“Always love going to Chilis but the service hasn't been the greatest. I feel we always get seated and ignored by waiter/waitress. We were seated and about 10 min after another couple I guess regulars were seated in front of us...they were serviced before we were. BUT the food was good, the atmosphere was great.“

“Great spot to get a margarita“

“Amazing!!!!!!! Our new favorite place to eat!“

“My family and I are longtime fans of the Chili’s chain but our favorite Chili’s is this one in Rowlett! Service is always good and the staff t friendly! We love the takeout service as well… never disappoints! I’m craving a Margarita right now! 😀😳“

“Hands down, no questions asked, no competition..... BEST and most TENDER!!!!!steak tacos you will ever eat, I'm a blue collar worker and I eat out ALOT, I've been trying for years to find better tacos anywhere in DFW and I've never came even close! I drive from North Fort Worth all the way to Garland TX just to get these tacos, I wish i was joking, I just can't find any better tacos closer to my house.

Even there there rice and baracho beans are way better than anywhere I've ever had. Everything I've had here is great but listen to me when I tell you, GET THE STEAK TACOS!!!
the tenderness and flavor will blow your mind, definitely not what your used to in a street taco! And the sautéed onions are amazing!!!

And the owner/chef is awesome, always super friendly and talkative, and to my suprise even answered my questions when I was asking how he gets his tacos so tender.

I don't think I'll ever find better tacos but I'm still looking

Photo is of 5 steak tacos after I threw the tortillas away to save calories lol“

“We had a wonderful relaxed experience this evening. The food was great. The drinks were great. The weather was perfect for dining outside. We had the best waiter, his name is Luis. He had the perfect sense of humor for our family.“

“The food is awesome,,,their chicken fajitas are excellent 👌 I highly recommend eating here,,,very professional and our waiter was amazing 😍“

“Food was fabulous as well as service, definitely a must try place.“

“Such a great restaurant for Firewheel! They’ve been consistent for many years and don’t blame the pandemic for any decrease in quality or service.“

“Torchys is one of my favorite places to eat. The environment and food are both so amazing. Prices are nothing crazy at all. I love it.“

“Love love love this place“

“I love the Steak Argentina. Tender steak , chimichura sauce . It’s so good . You must try it . I prefer the location on Greenville but have eaten at the one in Richardson too.“

“I was practically raised on El Fenix and it will forever be my favorite for the finest Tex-Mex cuisine !! 🤘🏻🤘🏻“

“Well our waitress was friendly Communicative and thoughtful she a was new but thorough and Friendly Also I chose the Mama’s Flavorito highly recommended…“

“Best queso I’ve ever had!!! Ck fajitas are my favorite!“

“Food was great and we will surely visit again for the same. Payment option via the digital system on the table was also cool. The bar is at the center so any order from here was super quick to receive. The only feedback would be to inform customers that the games at the table are chargeable. We noticed this after receiving the bill. We were told it would be waived off but after waiting 15 minutes, I could still see it on the bill. We had to leave so I paid for it.

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely

Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't feel this place was wheelchair friendly considering the passages were narrow. While a person on the wheelchair can navigate inside, but not without inconveniences.“

“Casa Mama is an absolute gem! Every bite feels like a celebration of fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. Their dishes are beautifully balanced—rich without being overwhelming, and each flavor shines. The guacamole is the perfect creamy, zesty start, and their enchiladas? Melt-in-your-mouth amazing. You can tell each dish is made with care and a deep respect for traditional recipes. The warm, inviting atmosphere just adds to the experience, making it feel like you're dining in a close friend’s home. If you're craving Mexican food that hits all the right notes, Casa Mama is a must-visit!“

“Comida deliciosa, tragos riquísimos, cómodo y buena música en vivo los fines de semana“
