For anyone who remembers the American dining scene of the 80s and 90s, the name Chi-Chi's might spark a memory of sizzling fajitas, festive décor, and that legendary deep-fried ice cream.

After vanishing for two decades, the iconic Tex-Mex restaurant is making a spectacular comeback. Its first new location is set to open in St Louis Park, Minnesota, on 6 October 2025, promising a revival led by the son of its original co-founder. The new Chi-Chi's aims to serve a potent cocktail of cherished nostalgia and fresh, modern flavour.
