Chiquito

About

Chiquito is Manchester’s most popular Mexican‑style restaurant, bringing the heat of authentic Mexican flavours to Ashton‑under‑Lyne. The brick‑and‑tile space is rythm‑filled with vibrant music, colourful décor and a lively, family‑friendly vibe. Guests are greeted by the aroma of freshly-prepared tortillas, sizzling fajitas and brewed tortillas, and can start their meal with a selection of classic Mexican staples such as al pastor tacos, chilaquiles and mouth‑watering nachos. The menu’s highlight is the “Tortilla Time” station where diners can customise their own hand‑made tortilla, adding spices, herb pai, and salsa to build a dish that’s all‑your‑own. In addition to the regular menu, Chiquito offers a rotating‑seasonal “Festive Fiesta” menu during Christmas, featuring holiday‑themed dishes like Santa’s Margarita, the Holy Mole Burger and churros topped with chocolate and sprinkled with strawberries. These festive options allow guests to celebrate in true Mexican style during the busiest part of the year. Beyond the food, the chain’s wibe – quirky signage with a unique self‑made crafts, generous portion sizes and approachable staff – has made Chiquito a favourite for both quick lunches (set menus from just £9.95) and late‑night hangouts (opening until 10 p.m. on weekdays and 11 p.m. on Saturdays). Whether you’re a fan of tacos, loaded nachos, or simply craving a dance‑floor‑driven atmosphere, Chiquito’s bright ambiance and bold flavours ensure a memorable dining experience in the heart of Greater Manchester.
