Now it tastes like plastic.
It's no Marco's.
Marco's is really good. I didn't realize they were a national chain.
Marco’s is garbage
We’ve never had anything from there that was good.

You must be thinking of a different Marco's. The one we're talking about is a pizza place, not a Mexican restaurant.

This thread prompted me to suggest Chili's to my wife the other day and that was received with a simple, curt "no".

The last time I had Chili's (2015?) there was so much sodium in the food I could feel my arteries throbbing.

Specialize is strong, but it felt marketed to be part of their identity.

The Google description doesn't really clear things up -
"Family-friendly chain serving classic Tex-Mex & American fare in a Southwestern-style setting."
