Chili’s Restaurant and the CoronaRita – Giftcard Giveaway!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Chili’s Grill & Bar. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you have been following any of my tweets lately, you have probably noticed that Leah is deep into the terrible two’s and my patience is being fiercely challenged on a daily basis. It’s on days like these where I want to relax and unwind in the evening. I don’t want to cook but I also don’t want to wait in line forever at a restaurant that takes us a long time to drive to. On nights when I want consistent, friendly service in a family friendly atmosphere, we load up the car and head to our neighborhood Chili’s restaurant.

Last week, on a particularly challenging day, I received an email from the folks at Chili’s asking if I’d like to come in and give the new CoronaRita at Chili’s a try. I wondered if they had been reading my recent tweets because that sounded like exactly what I needed. Not only was I tired from the long day and didn’t feel like cooking, it was also very hot out. Dinner out with a refreshing CoronarRta (a blend of Chili’s Cuervo Gold Margarita with a Coronita) sounded like the perfect way to unwind.

I paired my CoronaRita with a Mushroom Cheese Burger and it was a perfect combination. Although I felt a little odd drinking out of the glass / Corona bottle combination, I didn’t mind after awhile. The flavor of the Corona combined with the margarita was fantastic… it was the taste of summer in a glass!

Chili’s would like to invite one lucky Dine & Dish reader to visit Chili’s this summer to try out their new CoronaRita. They are giving away one $25 gift card!

    I am ALL about that mushroom swiss burger with fries! I also love getting their chips and salsa with a side of guacamole ranch dressing for dipping. Always love eating at Chili’s!

  5. Aimee @ ShugarySweets says

    Oh my that looks awesome! I”m impressed you picked it up, I totally would have just bent over it for fear of spilling!
    Chili’s burgers are awesome and would go lovely with the CoronaRita, but so would their fajitas…..

  9. Melissa says

    Beef fajitas. That’s the ONLY thing I ever order @ Chilis!! Best fajitas EVER!!

  10. Kacey S says

    I’m consistant. I always get the boneless buffalo chicken salad (no pico). Yum!

  12. Amy says

    I used to work at Chili’s back in the day! I haven’t been back there in ages. Would love to try the Shrimp Tacos!

  18. Shelly says

    I’d either go with the chicken club tacos or the 6 oz sirloin topped with pico de gallo!

  19. Tristine says

    I would go for anything Mexican as there are no place near us where we can get Mexican food…

  20. Kristi says

    Tough to narrow it down – I think the Margarita Grilled Chicken would pair great with a Coronarita!

  22. Lenore says

    I’d have to do either the Cobb salad (my usual!) or the shrimp tacos…yum!

  23. Cat says

    Mmm that does look delish! I would definitely have to order the baby back ribs. YUM!!!

  29. Pat Wogan says

    Ate at Chili’s last week. Had the 6 oz. sirloin with loaded mashed potatoes (yum) and broccoli. The broccoli was seasoned just right. Also had the onion strings an jalapenos. Great meal.

  35. olivia rubin says

    an avocado burger with loads of ketchup!

  36. Joey Sewell says

    I would either get their baby back runs or the club sandwich. I love both of them

  38. Amy McElroy says

    I would start out with some chip and salsa (my favorite) and then some fajitas!

  47. Heather K Miller says

    I LOVE the chips and salsa there but I think I would pick the Chicken Caesar Pita for my meal! Yum!

  49. Leslie W says

    I love burgers so I’d get the SHINER BOCK BBQ BURGER with the CoronaRita 🙂 Mmmm, sounds so good right now, lol!

  51. Bethany says

    I adore their quesadilla explosion salad, and it would go perfectly with a CoronaRita! Pick me! :o)

  54. Krissy says

    I would order a Grilled Chicken Salad. Looks yummy and I’m watching my calories.

  55. Jessica R says

    This sounds so delicious…I would probably pair it with one of their awesome quesadillas or maybe even the chicken fajitas!

  56. Enrico says

    CoronaRita, now that sounds like my kind of cocktail, one with beer in it 😉

    Here in the UK it’s still a bit chilly outdoors, but I won’t need it too warm before I order one of these, then instruct my local barman how to make me one…

  59. Gigi says

    Any of Chili’s pick three appetizers! The Philly cheese sliders sound great! Don’t forget the Sourhwestern egg rolls! The temperature hit 95 in San Antonio! This is the perfect drink to cool off with!

  70. Rebecca says

    Ooh i’d have to try those delicious looking crispy honey-chipotle chicken crispers!

  71. Leslie says

    I ALWAYS get the quesadilla explosion salad when I go to Chili’s. I think I’ll try something new, but can’t resist the pull of the salad. I think this would go great with a CoronaRita.

  72. Ashley says

    I would order my favorite menu item to compliment the Margarita which is the Cajun Chicken Pasta!!!

  73. Jimi says

    Well, we love Chili’s, especially the bottomless chips and salsa. I’m sure the margarita would go great with that, no matter what else we end up ordering.

  74. Lori H says

    The Southwestern Egg Rolls & Monterrey Chicken would go great with a CoronaRita.

  75. Donna B says

    I’d have to order the santa fe salad. Always a favorite of mine. Healthy-ish yet a nice spicy flavor…and perfect for a CoronaMargarita!

  77. Sharon says

    I think Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas would go great with that CoronaRita. Thanks!

  78. Carolsue says

    I would order the JALAPEÑO SMOKEHOUSE BACON BURGER

  79. Robin T says

    You can never go wrong w/a burger of any kind, and of course chips and salsa!!

  80. Bianca says

    I would get the combination plate of the margarita chicken and the baby back ribs and i cant wait until I get that gift card so I can go order the meal and that fabulous coronarita to go with it!!!! my mouth is already watering!

  81. Michelle says

    I ALWAYS get the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich with fries.. it’s soooo good and would be even better with a CoronaRita. I’ve never had one but now that I know you offer it, I’ll be getting one on my next visit!!

  84. theresa n says

    I’d order the chicken club quesadilla or anyone of the other quesadillas.

  90. Christy Rose says

    I love the Margarita Chicken….sounds like the perfect meal to enjoy with a Coronarita to me!

  95. The Duo Dishes - Chrystal says

    So funny! I ‘discovered’ what I called beergaritas last summer. Just on a whim, I decided to cut my way too sweet margarita with some beer, and it was a pleasant surprise. After that, the beergarita was a mainstay. After this past Cinco de Mayo, I noticed they’re popping up on menus at restaurants!

  97. Diana M. says

    A sirloin steak meal is great with this drink, though I’ve been back on three different occasions and ordered this drink that I enjoy so much, I believe it would be just fine with any meal you serve.

  101. alicia says

    so my dad and I are trying to find where could they sale that yellow thing thats on beer
    do you know where ?
