"We initially tried going to Wetherspoons, but it was too busy and crowded, so we ended up at Chitquito's instead. Since we were the only customers, we all received our drinks quickly and enjoyed friendly service. The decor at Chitquito's is themed around the theatre, and we had a satisfying meal with delicious Mexican food."

"We arrived at 2:30 PM and placed our order within ten minutes. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy at the time. By 3 PM, I inquired about the long wait for our food, but the waitress couldn't explain the delay. I had already prepaid to ensure we wouldn't be late for a movie starting at 3:20. By that time, my two children and I were becoming frustrated. Once again, the waitress was unsure why our food was taking so long. At 3:25, I requested a refund, opting to grab a snack at the cinema instead. The manager approached us and promised that our food was on its way. Just a minute later, it finally arrived. Unfortunately, the tacos were soggy, and the chicken in my salad was dry. We ended up feeling rushed to eat. I would advise avoiding this restaurant unless you're okay with waiting nearly an hour for subpar food."

"Visited here just before Christmas with a friend. There were a couple of large parties in so as you would expect the service was extremely slow. eventually we ordered (the same thing chicken fajitas) and it arrived. None of it was sizzling but it tasted ok. Eventually we ordered a dessert and a coffee and then waited ages before getting the bill resulting in us being one the last to leave. The food was mediocre and the service poor. Early the next morning and for the next 3 days my friend and I suffered terribly with what appeared to be food poisoning. We had eaten the same and had both experienced the same outcome several hours later. Needless to say it spoilt the rest of our Christmas. My friend called Chiquitos to let them know what had happened and to see if anyone else had complained. Apparently someone was going to call back. They never did. Not sure we will be visiting this restaurant again in a hurry unless I want rapid weight loss"

"This restaurant is a wonderful place to enjoy a traditional Mexican meal. Our family adored the friendly ambiance, excellent service, and tasty dishes. We highly recommend trying this restaurant and plan on coming back again in the future."

"I recently celebrated my grandmother's birthday here with my family. The service was a bit slow, but we did visit on a Saturday. The food was fresh and served hot! I really enjoyed my appetizers, the jalapeño poppers, although the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste—I have diabetes, so I have to be mindful of my sugar levels. I ordered the Texan stack burger meal, which was good, but I expected the burger to be a bit larger. I also loved the skin-on chips. Overall, my family and I had a great time!"

"I visit this restaurant a few times a week. Great food, fast and friendly service, atmosphere is brilliant. They get busy in the evening, but the service does not suffer at all. Staff seem to love their jobs, even when its heaving, everyone is smiling and keeping the spirits up. Authentic feel and menu, with a massive selection of great food. Recommend 100"

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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 "

"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."

"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."

"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."
