Ever been to Chiquito? Mexican food only became âtrendy' in the UK a few years back, but the guys at Chiquito have been soldiering on for quite some time now (20+ years and counting, and with just under 90 restaurants all over the UK by this point...). In fact, the last time I visited Chiquito (and not coincidentally this very same one, I think?) was about 10 years ago, and I remember it being very different (and not quite so good). This was all before the âfood revolutionâ (a thing I canât currently come up with a better name for) that saw the standard of food in the UK (and perhaps how many fucks the average Brit gave about food...) increase dramatically.

So yeah, Chiquito are a chain restaurant, still going strong, and making no allusions at anything different. However, keen to shake off an old rep for lacklustre food, 'The Original Mexican Grill & Bar' have made a very vocal point of upping their game/menu offering. If what I try is anything to go by thenâ¦well, in this they have succeeded! Whatâs the deal with Chiquito then? Theyâre known for a few things. Generous portion sizes, seriously hamming up Mexican/TexMex culture and a family friendly dining experience (which *doesnât* mean that the ordering of a tequila tasting menu is off the cards). I am told that they also have a film club and regular film screening schedule - though I didnât see any evidence of that whilst I am there.

But yes, if youâve not been, expect stereotypically Latin American music (not necessarily Mexican and not that this is a bad thing), strategically positioned sombreros lying about the place (so that you too can become a bandito, without having to do anything particularly illegal). A kindaâ¦faux rustic, 'South Of The Border' type approach to decor; walls decorated with Mexican pop art posters, Mesoamerican designs, that kinda stuff. And a HUGE food menu. Not just huge portions, as previously mentioned, but an almost overwhelming amount of Tex Mex food choices (plus a kids menu). As for drinks, thereâs a few less choices here but a pretty massive cocktail menu. As far as chains go, theyâre not the cheapest, but the quality of the food may just surprise you. Iâm not gonna say that Iâm a convert, but I am gonna say that I amâ¦pleasantly surprised by how good it is. Check out the new Street Food menu, which is an ideal opportunity to try a whole load of things all in one go, and share with a few friends! Not bad at all...

But yes, if youâve not been, expect stereotypically Latin American music (not necessarily Mexican and not that this is a bad thing), strategically positioned sombreros lying about the place (so that you too can become a bandito, without having to do anything particularly illegal). A kindaâ¦faux rustic, 'South Of The Border' type approach to decor; walls decorated with Mexican pop art posters, Mesoamerican designs, that kinda stuff. And a HUGE food menu. Not just huge portions, as previously mentioned, but an almost overwhelming amount of Tex Mex food choices (plus a kids menu). As for drinks, thereâs a few less choices here but a pretty massive cocktail menu. As far as chains go, theyâre not the cheapest, but the quality of the food may just surprise you. Iâm not gonna say that Iâm a convert, but I am gonna say that I amâ¦pleasantly surprised by how good it is. Check out the new Street Food menu, which is an ideal opportunity to try a whole load of things all in one go, and share with a few friends! Not bad at all...

Ever been to Chiquito? Mexican food only became âtrendy' in the UK a few years back, but the guys at Chiquito have been soldiering on for quite some time now (20+ years and counting, and with just under 90 restaurants all over the UK by this point...). In fact, the last time I visited Chiquito (and not coincidentally this very same one, I think?) was about 10 years ago, and I remember it being very different (and not quite so good). This was all before the âfood revolutionâ (a thing I canât currently come up with a better name for) that saw the standard of food in the UK (and perhaps how many fucks the average Brit gave about food...) increase dramatically.

So yeah, Chiquito are a chain restaurant, still going strong, and making no allusions at anything different. However, keen to shake off an old rep for lacklustre food, 'The Original Mexican Grill & Bar' have made a very vocal point of upping their game/menu offering. If what I try is anything to go by thenâ¦well, in this they have succeeded! Whatâs the deal with Chiquito then? Theyâre known for a few things. Generous portion sizes, seriously hamming up Mexican/TexMex culture and a family friendly dining experience (which *doesnât* mean that the ordering of a tequila tasting menu is off the cards). I am told that they also have a film club and regular film screening schedule - though I didnât see any evidence of that whilst I am there.
