Chiquitos, London > Reviews

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

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

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

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.

Advantages: Child friendly
Disadvantages: Not enough disabled access

As soon as you enter the authentically Mexican Chiquitos,you are overcome with the warm and friendly atmosphere.On my recent visit,me and my friend were warmly welcomed by the very pleasant seating hostess who took us to a cosy smoking table.We were given food menus as soon as we were seated.We chose are drinks first (two GIANT margharitas!!),from the extremely varied drinks menu which was already on the table.The waitress approached our table very ...

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

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
