Chiquito

About

Chiquito is a bustling Tex‑Mex chain that has become a staple of casual dining across the United Kingdom. Founded in 1989, the brand quickly grew to over sixty restaurants, still boasting ten locations today. Each Chiquito outlet is designed to resemble a lively Mexican patio, complete with rustic décor, colorful posters, and vibrant music. The menu focuses on hearty Tex‑Mex staples such as tacos, burritos, and nachos, but the chain also offers a selection of drinks – from homemade margaritas to craft beers – that keep patrons coming back for the full “original Mexican grill & bar” experience. Despite a brief period of administration in 2020, Chiquito has re‑established itself as a flavor‑icon in the UK’s restaurant scene, offering affordable family‑friendly meals and a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to diners of all ages. Its mix of authentic style, generous portions, and lively ambience continues to lure groups for brunch, lunch, and dinner.
