About Chiquito

¡Hola amigos! Being the UK's biggest and most loved Tex-Mex restaurant, we know a thing or two about good food and drink. Our range of Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes have been making mouths water for over 25 years – from mild to wild, we’ve got every flavour! If you’re in the mood for sizzling fajitas, bursting burritos, or tender fall-off-the-bone ribs, you’ve come to the right place. For those who fancy a lighter bite we have a brunch menu and a selection of desserts for your sweet tooth. We offer a gluten free menu too so anyone can enjoy dining out with friends. Our drinks will quench the greatest of thirsts - simply pop in try one of our famous margaritas. After all it’s 5pm somewhere, right? See you soon, or as they say in Mexico, ¡hasta luego!

We love ❤️ Chiqnitos, the service is always excellent. This visit was because we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and fancied coming here as we love the food. The waitresses made a lovely dessert for us with candles to help us make our special day even more special, thank you ladies that was lovely. Very much recommend. 👍🏼😃

I've had the pleasure of dining here twice, once in the evening and one early afternoon. The evening was fairly busy and the staff couldn't of been more at tentative. There was a rather thin looking guy with a baseball cap on who stank of cigarettes helping him self to espresso, if he was a member of staff then he needs to develop his customer ethics and dress more professional. That aside the meal was excellent and good value for money. My afternoon visit the resturuant was very quite but we were served by the manageress who was very bubbly, friendly but professional at the same time, again the food was excellent as was the service. Personally I prefer a quite place to eat, where children don't run around wild because the parents have no control or care. So from experience yes I would recommend it, but I think chiquito as a company have some discipline issues to deal with in particular the member of staff who stank of cigarettes I would hope he washes his hands throughly before handling food.

Bloomin marvellous 😋😋😋

The last meal we had was lunch and it was delicious. Shame that on the menu though there was a price to add a slice of halloumi to a burger but when I asked for it she said it was actually £3.99 but the menu hadn’t been changed. Apart from that it was nice.

User

Not my fav place but my boy (18) likes it and it’s way better than Franki and Bennies!

User

Food was lovely and served pretty quickly. Nice touch with the hats dotted around for us to wear and take selfies lol. Was a reasonable price (had a voucher) and staff were very attentive. Would visit again x

Very slow for food to arrive!! No atmosphere

User

Service was very slow and poor attention to detail. Food was bland, over priced for what it was and kids portions were tiny.

Have been to this venue before, however I doubt I will return again.

User

Never in my life have I ever witnessed such utterly poor customer service, poor quality of product & pure ignorance. I shall never be returning to Chiquito’s in Colchester. I know 18 year old’s with 4 weeks in hospitality that could have done a better job. Shameful.. we wondered why it was dead!?
