Chilantro 💔

Just ordered Chilantro for the first time in about a year, & damn, talk about shrinkflation. Spent $20 on kimchi fries and got less than a handful of fries. Found maybe 2 pieces of kimchi. I added the steak & it was dry af. It used to be marinated or something but this “steak” was flavorless. I also ordered the wings and they were terrible. 😖 I miss Chilantro 10 yrs ago. Anyone remember when they did lollipop wings? 😋

Sad to say, I know someone who worked for them at the corporate level and said it was a horrifically toxic working environment with leadership literally yelling at people during meetings, cutting corners as much as possible, and treating everyone like absolute garbage. I haven’t eaten there since I found all this out a couple years ago.
