"We stopped by for a meal before heading to the cinema and had made a reservation through an agency, but unfortunately, Chiquitos hadn't received the notification (a downside for Open Table). However, the hostess at Chiquitos was absolutely delightful and quickly arranged a table for us without any hassle. She made us feel very welcome, and the rest of the staff were also friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, and we experienced no delays, making it easy to enjoy our meal before the movie. I would definitely recommend it for a pre- or post-cinema outing. It had a lively atmosphere that seemed perfect for dining with friends. We'll definitely be back!"
"We had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Our reservation was not recorded, so our table wasn't ready when we arrived. The service was slow, and our food came out at different times, with most of it being cold. Throughout the meal, we had various waitstaff who seemed indifferent. The prices were high for food that was just average in quality, and to top it all off, a service charge was added to the bill without any prior notice. I would suggest avoiding this place; it simply isn’t worth your money, time, or effort."

"The restaurant serves tasty and refreshing beverages, but they are a bit expensive. It would be nice if they offered complimentary refills on non-alcoholic drinks. The portions for children are generous, perfect for a three-year-old."

"Great Restaurant, Well Picked staff, very friendly, chatty and great for recommending. Generally a very welcoming atmosphere. If you want somewhere to relax on an afternoon, it's very nice, if you want a party atmosphere, go after That's when it starts to kick in. Always have vouchers and deals on their bills and scratchcards with money off your bill. But hey! Why not? You're saving and enjoying yourself!! Cocktails are gorgeous with a range of margaritas and flavours. The food is amazing, always hot and well timed. Very reasonably priced. Even better on the Lunch menu! Must say, I even had my child have a Piñata party! And they made the children really enjoy themselves, all the staff got involved with singing happy birthday. Defiantly an all round party atmosphere!! Regular visitor now."

"Upon arrival, we found ourselves waiting at the desk without acknowledgment of our open table booking, making the reservation pointless. The staff seemed disinterested in our confirmation and instead directed us to sit and wait in the bar before rushing outside. This strange first impression continued as the restaurant appeared half full yet we were left waiting at the bar. The barman neglected to take our drink orders, which would have improved our experience. After 10 minutes, one staff member informed us that a table was being cleared for us at the front, only for another staff member to seat us at a different table in the back. This made us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued customers. Despite representing over £100 in revenue as a group of four, we felt like a low priority. However, once seated, the typical service experience at a Chiquito chain restaurant was good, with drinks, orders, and food served promptly. We had no complaints about the food and were pleased to be able to use a student discount, saving 25%. In the future, I believe more attention should be paid to first impressions, as my companion was initially tempted to leave but I convinced them to stay."

"I can here on a busy Saturday, however I had a reservation and I was very disappointed. Firstly the service was terrible, we had booked a table through open table and we still had to wait over half an hour for our table to be ready. When we were finally seated the terrible service continued. As soon as we were sat down and got our menus they asked us our order, some of us even had our jackets on. I felt quite rushed. We ordered our food quickly and waited over 45 minutes till dishes started to arrive. Many of the dishes were missing. One of the members of our party ordered a pornstar martini which came half empty and the shot of prosecco was almost non existent. We then complained to the manager who said ‘don’t worry about it we will get you a new one and you can keep that one as an apology’. However the new pornstar martini did not turn up till we had almost finished our mains. The mains were luke warm and they forgot so many parts of our dishes, for example forgetting the wraps for the fajitas, the dips with our starters and many more. As the evening came to a close I was glad to be leaving. We asked for our bill and when I checked it I found out that we had been charged twice for the pornstar martini and all the other extras we never got. We asked for this to be removed which the waitresses seemed hesistant so had to wait to speak to the manager. The manager was attentive and removed that charger however it wasn’t a good experience. I won’t be return any time soon."

"~ Food: The food was mediocre at best. It lacked flavor and creativity, and we were left feeling underwhelmed by our meals. Overall, the dining experience was not enjoyable and we would not recommend this restaurant to others."

"Hello We attended this restaurant today 12th March booked a table only when we arrived we found that there was a children’s party in attendance. We first had to wait for 10 minutes to be shown to our table then when we were shown to our table the server said someone will be over to take a drinks order but no one turned up I had to go to the bar to get someone to come over who did take a drink order but we never received the drinks nor did we get anyone to take a food order so after being sat for approx 1 hour we left without placing an order or reviving the drinks we ordered there were 3 other tables waiting as well and they never got served awful service no apology nothing just awful"

"• Our reserved table was not ready, even though we booked well in advance • Our food and drinks were repeatedly delivered to the wrong table • We noted in our booking that it was a 21st birthday celebration • Asked the waitress to put a candle in our dessert, but it came without one • The double espresso was lukewarm • Overall, it was a disappointing evening, but the food was decent. We ordered the ultimate Fajita, but it had the same amount of wraps as a normal one."

"Lovley waitress serving us.... felt sorry to complain! Asides from hour wait between courses others kids in restaurant). Both mains came out, pasta and risotto. Both over cooked- pasta tasted ok but the waitress could see that fungi chicken Risotto was just like mush and very kindly offered to replace it.... accepted, and it came back tasting ok but littered with chicken sinew/fat (as per picture above).... If not sinical I wonder how a chef working in such a nice place could make such a mistake? Mmmm "

"Not a bad place for a pre gig meal. Shame about the front of house staff. I'd booked a table but got stuck in train delays and gig crowds so arrived exactly 15 minutes late. However, the table was booked so we asked to be seated only to be told we were late and couldn't have our table for at least half an hour. They said they only allow a 15 minute grace period for late arrivals, at which point I reminded them I had arrived at exactly 15 minutes past the hour and it was only the fact that they'd spent so long telling me I was late that the time had clicked over to 16 minutes past the hour. After some to ing and fro ing (and me getting quite stressed and cross) they reluctantly led us to a perfectly nice, perfectly empty table. Other tables were cleared also, so it seems they were just being stroppy and defiant what strange customer service. Shame, because the serving staff were lovely, and the food ok. Just whatever you do, don't be late!"

"My husband and I are regular customers so of course we are fans. A warm welcome always greets us. We particularly enjoy breakfast, however a gluten free toast option would be a welcome introduction to the menu. Service is always attentive and top notch, food fresh and hot and tasty. The cocktails are delicious also."

"The food at Chiquito Durham is excellent. The decor is very pleasant and it is clear that they have invested a considerable amount of money into the restaurant."
"when entering the restaurant the service was absolutely excellent, we sat fast and the waitress gave us a lot of time to choose our meal times, even a few more minutes when we tried to make a final decision. once ordered, our food arrived in time and was just as we ordered. during our meal the waitress dipped after serving every cure to check if everything was in order, what it was. great eating and good service, we come back in any case."
"The Chiquito restaurant is quite standard, but it benefits from its convenient location in the Gala complex, situated between Nando's and The Fat Buddha."

"The dining experience was very pleasant, with excellent service."
"The reservation wasn’t in the system, but we were seated quickly and our order was taken promptly. However, as the restaurant got busier, the staff seemed to be stretched too thin, which made the service quite slow. I appreciated the option to pay the bill through the app, as the wait for table service payment was quite lengthy."
