Chili’s
Although not strictly Mexican, this American franchise’s menu is hugely influenced by Mexican classics. Take your pick from variations on quesadilla, spicy queso and fajita nachos, or go all-out with mainstream American options. If you can get a seat that is; wherever you go in the capital, Chili’s is always busy.
