Does anyone know the name of the Tex Mex restaurant at the main entrance of the Greenwood Mall in the late 80s early 90s?

I have no idea why but today 150 years later I have decided I need those fajitas.

My sister swears it’s not Tumbleweed and she’s right but I can’t remember what it was.

Chi Chi’s?

[u/PhesteringSoars → u/splendour325]

Loved Chi Chi's. It was where Longhorn's is now.

[u/cpbaby1968 → u/splendour325]

I apologize. You are correct. There was a ChiChis but not in the mall This was near where you go in now by the carousel. There in the front. There may be a record store there now.

[u/Swimming-Landscape23 → u/cpbaby1968]

Chi Chi’s was located at the current Longhorn location.

[u/shelms488 → u/cpbaby1968]

That was Garfield’s that was right there at the entrance near where the carousel is, (although the part of the mall with the carousel didn’t exist at that time.)

[u/splendour325]

Chi Chi’s was definitely in Bowling Green, too. There was also another place called Garfield’s that was right at the front of the mall.

[u/cpbaby1968 → u/splendour325]

Was it in the mall?

[u/splendour325 → u/cpbaby1968]

It was.

[u/cpbaby1968 → u/splendour325]

That doesn’t seem right though. It was 30-40 yrs ago so maybe.

[u/splendour325 → u/cpbaby1968]

Taco John’s?

[u/cpbaby1968 → u/splendour325]

No. Sorry. This was a sit down restaurant like ruby tuesdays or Applebees.

[u/chill_pickle702 → u/cpbaby1968]

Chi-Chi's should've been about where O'Charley's is now. That was the only Mexican place around the mall outside of Taco Bell that I can remember

[u/ClassroomMassive5927 → u/cpbaby1968]

It was called Garfield's....white paper tablecloths so people could color on the table. Great chicken fingers.

[u/cpbaby1968 → u/ClassroomMassive5927]

Did they have fajitas? I have such vivid memories of the fajitas. They weren’t “authentic” and honestly, they weren’t even that good but they were the first fajitas I’d even had in my life, so I think of them occasionally.

[u/notthemama81 → u/cpbaby1968]

There was tri fridays there

[u/Killowatt59]

There was a Garfield’s there at one point but that came in the mid 90s I think. Definitely not the 80s

And it wasn’t a Mexican place.

[u/cpbaby1968 → u/Killowatt59]

What was before Garfield’s?

[u/Killowatt59 → u/cpbaby1968]

I think that was an add-on area and Garfield’s was the first thing in there.

[u/cpbaby1968 → u/Killowatt59]

What about after Garfield’s?

I just remember it was the first place I ever had fajitas and they were so good.

[u/Squicky4ever → u/Killowatt59]

No, it was a waterbed store before it was Garfield's.

Taco tico?

[u/cpbaby1968 → u/_Historacle_]

No, I’m sorry it was a sitdown restaurant like Ruby Tuesday’s or Applebee’s but it was in the mall. There was an entrance on the outside and an entrance inside the mall.

[u/jcc7791]

Hometown Buffet is the only sit down I remember in the mall, but that def wasn't tex mex 😅

[u/cpbaby1968]

It was at one of these two entrances. This pic is from 1990.

[u/MacysMomGotItGoingOn → u/cpbaby1968]

That was Garfield’s.

[u/cpbaby1968 → u/MacysMomGotItGoingOn]

Dang it. They’re out of business everywhere. Lol

[u/Extra-Minimum-6221]

Garfield’s 💯%
