Chi-Chi's was a popular Mexican restaurant chain that introduced mainstream America to Tex-Mex cuisine starting in 1975. The chain became famous for tableside-made tortillas, sizzling fajitas, frozen margaritas, and the festive atmosphere that made Chi-Chi's a casual dining destination across hundreds of locations nationwide, helping popularize Mexican food beyond traditional Mexican-American communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite explosive growth to over 200 locations and bringing Tex-Mex to Middle America, Chi-Chi's faced a catastrophic collapse. A devastating 2003 hepatitis A outbreak at a Pennsylvania location killing four people and sickening over 650 customers destroyed consumer confidence and the brand's reputation overnight. The massive outbreak triggered lawsuits, insurance claims, and irreparable damage to Chi-Chi's name that made recovery impossible. The company filed for bankruptcy and closed all U.S. locations in 2004, though the brand continued in Europe and as a grocery store product line, ending this Tex-Mex chain's American restaurant presence after the worst hepatitis A outbreak in U.S. history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tee features the Chi-Chi's logo with a distressed, cracked vintage aesthetic that marks this chain's
