"I'm not sure how they managed to make Mexican food, but they did it! I chose this place because the options they offer seemed really promising. Unfortunately, I won't be returning."

"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."

"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 "

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"On this occasion, we didn't even have a chance to eat at Chiquito due to the numerous abandoned cars scattered throughout the parking lot. I can only assume they belonged to a garage and were left there as a joke. Additionally, Derby was in the playoffs, so many fans used this parking area for their vehicles. My girlfriend went into the restaurant to ask about parking options, and a waitress told her that we could just park in front of someone else’s car since there was nothing they could do about it. In the end, we decided to dine at Wagamama instead, and we had a much better experience there."

"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."

"After our food had already been brought to the table, we were served our drinks. Additionally, two separate meals were missing items. We do not plan to return to this restaurant."
