This entry has been sitting in our Drafts folder for a year now. Maybe more. It's one of the photos featured in our Tastebud Tease and has long been forgotten. But, we haven't forgotten the restaurant! This is one place we go to from time to time when all we want is the good 'ol food we know best.
Chili's in Tahlia St. is one prominent landmark. It's one of the first few restaurants that people usually go to when celebrating occasions or mark momentous events. As a matter of fact, this was where Shoegarfreeruby, Eyecandy, and Maryhadalittlehump first brought me to have a glimpse of the gustatory landscape of Riyadh when I was just a newbie here (which btw, feels like eons ago, haha).

| Is there any thing more obvious than that huge chili above the door? |
I'm pretty sure I don't have to give Chili's an in-depth feature and review for you to go because chances are, you've already been here! So, here's just some of the photos we've taken from our numerous dinners in Chili's. We couldn't even count how many times we've dined in the place. :)
 |
| Chicken Enchilada soup + crackers |
Eyecandy professes her love for this soup. It's cheesy and creamy and oh-so good!
 |
| Hot spinach and artichoke dip |
This is one of the staple appetizers in our book. If we don't like a resto's spinach dip, you're a goner in our list. Haha. Needless to say, we enjoy Chili's dip and nachos. Though not the best in the city, it sure is a great way to start a heavy dinner. Munch on! We usually order their huge plate of appetizer sampler too because who doesn't do that?! Lol. To get to know the best there is, we have to sample everything first! Katakawan!
 |
| Southwestern Eggrolls |
One of the few appetizers that made us come back for more. This is loaded with smoked chicken, black beans, corn, jalapeno, cheese, red peppers, and spinach wrapped in a crispy tortilla. Too much of this will hinder you from eating the main meal so hinay-hinay sa appetizer!
And here are the main entrees and the drinks that drowned everything into the abyss of indulgence. Please don't hate us for eating and drinking this much! Lol.
 |
| Ribeye plus grilled shrimps |
 |
| Grilled salmon |
 |
| BBQ ribs + grilled shrimps |
 |
| Is this one of their margaritas? I can't remember! LOL. |
 |
| Strawberry Milkshake |
Their steaks are juicy and huge! I remember when I first ate there with the ladies, I can't believe I had to eat the Cajun Ribeye they ordered for me alone! I had a hard time finishing it. Their shrimps are plump and had a nice bite to it. The salmon is a little bit dry, as well as the BBQ ribs, but they're satisfying too.
No doubt about it, we always enjoy the good food in Chili's. It's one our go-to restaurants when we're craving for delicious appetizers and hearty steaks. For a while, we ignored Chili's to try the new steak and burger joints in the city but we eventually find our way back. Chili's remains popular. We noticed a decline in the quality of service for the past months but maybe it's just us. Naninibago lang siguro because we haven't been there for a long time.
What's your favorite in Chili's? :)
