Our Guestbook
“ I came here on a date Friday evening. It was a very chill place inside, with colorful lighting. It was not noisy at all, guests have enough space to enjoy their party's company. We were seated and waited quickly. I had a pomegranate margarita which was strong but very sweet. I ordered the chili relleno, complete with a side of rice and beans. The meal was very Mexican authentic (but I've been told by others that other entrees are not as authentic). I would recommend this restaurant. ”
“ Chico's is always our favorite! I LOVE sitting in the green room area. Our waiter was amazing and super attentive. Food was delicious, as always, and margaritas were amazing! ”
“ It’s been 18 years since I ate at Chicos and the shrimp tacos are still the best I’ve ever had. I miss Mondays for pitcher night at this hallowed spot, but the decor is still familiar and the layout remains the same. A downtown Greenville staple that I am so happy still remains, providing excellent service and food to Pirates, new or salty. My server was amazing and I am so happy I stopped in on the way through Greenville. ”
“ Great food, shrimp tacos for the win, swap out the rice and beans for a salad and you have a great meal. Ask for Jaxson or Chris heck you really can't go wrong with any of them. ”
“ We were with a large group, so we had a portion of the back of the restaurant reserved. We had a few servers, but the one who served my table was Finn. There were chips and salsa for the table, but I did not get to have a lot because I was at the end of a long table. I got a chicken quesadilla. It came with ranchero sauce and some sort of green sauce. Both sauces were really good! I am not sure what the green sauce was, but it was thin and tasted almost like Italian dressing. The tortilla was thick and fluffy. The ratio of chicken to cheese was satisfying, and the service was great. Overall, I really liked it here and would definitely come back! ”
“ This place here is outstanding the customer service was outstanding and oh my gosh the food is a come back at ya what my husband and I had was the best Mexican ever ”
“ Friendly restaurant with outside dinning and a great bar for small gatherings with friends. I usually order the fish tacos with a salad since I'm trying to consume less at lunch. I still leave room for one beer, since enjoying life is a priority. On nice days I most always eat on their outside patio to enjoy the weather and watch the people go by. The food here is good, and the produce fresh. The staff is excellent and aims to please. ”
“ The service and food was excellent. The restaurant layout was very appealing. The greeting was great at the door, and the server and hostess were very welcoming. They have flyers throughout the restaurant promoting their drinks and specials, which are very helpful. Their prices are great compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area and have a good social media following. To add, their brand has a great following because they hire a lot of college students to help promote their brand. Great place to eat and relax at. ”
