Hey what ever happened to Chi Chies? It was a Mexican place. It used to be off of McCloud trail. Margaritas where as big as a bathtub.

That place hasn't been around for probably 15 years. Although that one was off of 36 st and about 24th ave, by Sunridge.

I have been away from there longer than that. My presence in Alta. is now just a shadow. I still have many fond memories being there. I worked the oil field as a B pressure welder with my own rig. Did it work out, ya I am on the island now and work when I want to.
But that Chi Chies was really good food.

Smugglers was another great place to eat. I mean ask for the prime rib and it was all three people could eat.
I am feeling I could go there now and eat

Ahh, didn't know there was one in the SW. We used to go to Chi Chi's all the time back when I was a little kid. Never had the opportunity to have the bath tub margaritas.

I dont know, but the best item on the list to me sounded like the elk on the barbie.

Boogies is good on a rare occasion, but just down the street is the overeasy breakfast litterally a block away. I love the food there, I always leave full, satisfied and its prepared quite healthily. The staff there is great too. I eat so much there that they give me a discount. The chicken and penne is fantastic. that being said they serve more then just breaky.
