Chi-Chi’s Sets Oct. 6 Grand Opening for First Reborn Restaurant in Minnesota

The revival pairs nostalgia with updates under a Hormel licensing deal.

Overview

  • The flagship opens at 1602 West End Boulevard in St. Louis Park, with reservations available on OpenTable.
  • Hours after opening are Monday through Thursday 11 a.m.–10 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.–11 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.–9 p.m.
  • The menu brings back originals like chimichangas, seafood enchiladas, nachos grande, and deep-fried ice cream alongside new items such as quesabirria tacos and a Manchego burger.
  • The location replaces Michael McDermott’s Rojo Mexican Grill at the Shops at West End following its August closure for the conversion.
  • McDermott says additional locations are planned with early interest from developers and potential franchisees, likely centered on the Midwest and East Coast.
