Crispy, golden-brown shredded potatoes perfect as a savory breakfast side.

"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."

"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 "

"I had previously visited Chiquito and noticed one in Portsmouth. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, but I was quite disappointed with the food. I ordered the Steak Fajitas, and I can honestly say that the salsa had more flavor than the steak itself, which was very bland. The side dish was also unremarkable. Overall, it wasn’t a special dining experience for me."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"The meal was excellent and the service was top-notch. I recommend asking for the fixed-price menu, as it offers great value for those on a budget, but they don’t mention it unless you inquire."

"During our recent outing, we were unable to dine at Chiquito's due to the numerous car seats scattered throughout the parking lot. It seemed as if they were meant for a garage but had been dumped in the parking area as a joke. To make matters worse, Derby was in the playoffs, and many fans were using the lot for parking. When my friend approached the restaurant staff to inquire about parking options, a waitress simply advised us to park in front of another car, stating there was nothing they could do about the situation. Ultimately, we ended up dining at Wagamama instead and had a much more enjoyable experience there."

"have they ever paired their burgers with wein? No? I didn't. well, I had a bottle of wein with my meal or burger many paints before, but I never thought of combining it with its specific ingredients. Ben’s canteen in battersea try to change all this, but, served mini sliders alongside delicious weep paired with each. it is a fantastic idea – especially as burgers for me were old hats and make them exciting again. and the burgers here were really delicious. the restaurant is located on the rather busy st john’s hill, but despite constant traffic the music in the inner quickly drowns. they also have a second place in...read more"

"Great service and food. Always happy to go back as food is always tasty. If you like fishy dishes Risotto Pescatore is highly recommended. Calamari with the dip for a starter is also very good! Menu has so many great choices and I always look forward to going here over the other restaurants at the hub tbh. Family friendly and staff very good with kids when they go for ice cream."

"I initially made a reservation through Open Table, but when I arrived, they had no record of my booking! As a result, there was no table available for the four of us, and we had to wait for one to open up. However, they offered us a drink as a goodwill gesture. The food was decent, but nothing extraordinary, and I found it to be a bit overpriced for what we received. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly, which improved the experience somewhat."

"Overall, I enjoyed most of the food at the restaurant, but the coleslaw was very sour and made me feel sick. Additionally, they forgot part of our order. However, the waitress was helpful and gave us a small discount."
