Chi Chi's

Was just thinking of Chi Chi's last night. A real treat for me as a kid was driving up to Southridge in Des Moines and eating at Chi Chi's.

That and LaCasa. I was a little kid, but, I seem to recall a suit of armor just inside the door at Senor Pablo's? It really classed up the #5 special I ordered.

I think Merci Sueppel was involved in both of those restaurants and they were two of my favorites. I also remember the suit of armor when you walked into Señor Pablo's.
Anyone else remember the pizza place, George's Gourmet that was in the same building before Señor Pablo's? That was our go to pizza place in junior high.

Tank, I think you are right. I think she was involved with Senor Pablo's. I don't recall the pizza place by name. I just vaguely remember a building there, and the 7-11.

Senor Pablos was the Paulsons.

Anyone remember Taco Grande right across from John's?
