Good memories of the BR location. Went with my parents sometimes and then I became an annual tradition during my teen years to go for my birthday. I was always allowed to sip on my mom’s margaritas and beginning at 16 I would get my own.

What are some of your favorite memories?


When I turned 18 in 1985 (legal drinking age was 18 then) we would go to Chi-Chi's near the old Fun Fair Park on Florida @ Airline and get the frozen margaritas by the pitcher. I think it was $8 a pitcher then if I remember right. The chips and salsa were complimentary. Good times. Wish I could go back in time to the mid 80's.

And they're back!

Chi-Chi's making a comeback

quote:

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn., Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly 20 years after closing the last CHI-CHI'S™ restaurant location, the popular Mexican restaurant chain is set to make a comeback thanks to a new agreement with Hormel Foods, owner of CHI-CHI'S™ trademarks. The deal grants Michael McDermott, son of CHI-CHI'S™ founder, use of the CHI-CHI'S™ name on physical restaurant locations which are expected to open in 2025.

I’m looking for any update about this. I wonder when in 2025 are they planning on reopening.
