¡Buen provecho!
Review of Chiquitos, London by Bollinger28

Advantages: Loads of choice - good sized portions - lively atmosphere
Disadvantages: Food can be over-processed and bland - bit noisy for couples

Sometimes Mexican food makes a welcome change from the usual. It can be as hot and spicy as you like it, but there are plenty of milder choices if you don't like too much heat from your food. I'd been wanting to visit a Chiquito outlet for a while, and finally got my wish one rainy bank holiday afternoon last month. For those that aren't familiar with the name, Chiquito are a chain of 50+ Mexican themed restaurants scattered throughout the UK, with ... Read review

Modern day Mexican metropolitan munchies!
Review of Chiquitos, London by badongism

Advantages: Amazing food, very well priced, lovely atmosphere
Disadvantages: Downstairs seating too close to the bar

... The first time I visited Chiquitos, I didn't have a desert, but have since tried banana taquito, which is a banana, dusted with cinnamon, wrapped in a tortilla and deep fried with fudge sauce on top, served with vanilla ice cream. It is quite heavy for a desert - one of these on its own could fill you. Also, it is extremely sweet. Nonetheless, it tastes lovely. My only criticism about the food concerns one of the other dishes I tried - Mexican ... Read review

A little bit of Mexico right on my doorstep
Review of Chiquitos, London by wendy155

Advantages: Good food, nice atmosphere, good service.
Disadvantages: more tex mex than mex

First of all I will clarify that the only chiquitos I have been to is the one in Ellesmere Port, near to cheshire oaks retail outlet, so this review is about that particular restaurant. Well I have to admit I love Mexico and Mexican food so this is a restaurant the I have visited many times with my partner and with various family members including children, and some older members who dont really do 'spicy food'. The Menu This is split into ... Read review

No Speedy Gonzales here
Review of Chiquitos, London by salem_witch

Advantages: Variety of food and cocktails.
Disadvantages: Poor customer service and cold food.

Ahh Mexican food. The first time I visited Chiquito’s I was very apprehensive. You see I don’t like hot and spicy food and that’s what Mexican food is all about, right? Well no not really, yes you do get some hot dishes but not all of them are like this. So if you are feeling put off because of this then don’t. There are plenty of dishes that will appeal to you. As well as boasting authentic Mexican food it has Mexican interior and music. So you ... Read review

Eat Mexican off the A40
Review of Chiquitos, London by BNibbles

Advantages: Fairly rare type of ethnic food (for Acton that is)
Disadvantages: Varying waiting times - sometimes to the point of desperation

This opinion relates to Chiquitos in general and more specifically the branch situated with the Warner Village complex on the w/bound A40 at Park Royal, Acton. This is very conveniently situated for a post or pre-flick meal. Again, the usual Frday and Saturdays night rush means waiting in the bar for a table. Sunday night gives you another problem - lengthy service. On one occasion, after being shown immediately to a table, I was forced to walk ... Read review

Chiquito's Ashton Under Lyne
Review of Chiquitos, London by Sianis

Advantages: The food smells wafting outside are good
Disadvantages: It's an overpriced fast food outlet.

Didn't plan to eat at chiquitos but heard the music and smelt the food and felt like giving it a try. Was seated in a typical american booth style area, which was very nice. The restaurant on the whole had a nice ambience, was clean and comfortable. Good choice on menu and being a fan of mexican food was looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately it was an absolute disappointment. From where I was seated I could see the kitchen area and the chef ... Read review

Quick review of Chiquitos, London
Review of Chiquitos, London by paulstewart97

Unbelievable poor service from this restaurant. I Spoke to the manager the day before about booking a table for a large group. He told me that it was not possible to reserve, but there would only be a very short wait - time for a quick drink at the bar at most. We ended up waiting well over TWO HOURS for our table (after being repeatedly told our table was almost ready)!!! Some of our group ended up leaving before it was time for dinner. The manager was unwilling to sufficiently compensate our inconvenience and ruined evening, and in the end was quite rude.

Chiquitos Mexican Restaurant
Review of Chiquitos, London by pag50

Advantages: Food, service, drinks
Disadvantages: Waiting

Chiquitos is one of the best restaurants in London. The food there is mexican and southern USA. This means you can get trad mexican or a texas steak for example. The prices in there are quite high but on a par with similar restaurants. It takes a long time to get a seat on friday/saturday but you can wait in the bar and they give you a pager which flashes once a table is ready so no actual queueing. The drinks are very good with a whole range ... Read review

Great Mexican Restaurant
Review of Chiquitos, London by Lynsay

Advantages: Excellent food
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

Chiquitos in Leicester Square is one of the best Mexican Restaurants I have ever been to. It has recently been refurbished and is now even better than before! I've been at least 20 times. The atmosphere is superb, there is a lively bar (especially on a Friday night) and the food is delicious. It has a wide variety so it caters for everyones taste. The only downfall is that it can be pretty pricey, but then it is in Leicester Square so you should ... Read review
