Came for a nice family dinner last night, have been so many times before and had a good experience but this time was absolutely shocking! Our food took ages to come out, my food was fine however 2 of the 3 steaks were not cooked to the preference asked for. Took a while to get a waitresses attention to send the steak back that was well done and should've been med-rare and also my mum didnt get any roasted veg and my aunt didnt get any sweet potatoes as they should've done. After 10 mins of sending my aunts steak back the waitress comes back in a bit of a abrupt tone and says as there's half a steak eaten she can't replace it with a new 1 unless its the cheaper/smaller steak or she can give us a massive 5% discount off this £20 steak 😳 i thought this was ridiculous and if anything should've been 50% discount as they messed it up. In the end my aunt decided to keep the original steak as we were getting nowhere and a lot of attitude from the waitress. My mum and aunt complain to the manager and she was absolutely down right rude, it was disgusting behaviour. Basically said when we paid can we leave. My mum says oh don't worry we will and won't be coming back again and the manager chirps back with thats fine because we're closing down soon. Very appalling, made our experience very upsetting! I think the name of the manager was jessica

Had date night here for the first time, plenty of vegetarian options available, food came out quick was well presented and was hot. Cocktails were great, loved the flaming zombie, would definitely recommend. Our server Curtis was amazing, he definitely an asset to your company, his people skills are exceptional. Thank you for a great evening.

A really good visit. First time we have been. Booked a table via the app which was a little confusing as it kept asking how many people I was booking for but hey ho, it let me confirm eventually. On arrival I could see it was moderately busy, only waited a short moment before being taken promptly to outlet seats with a menu. Table and chairs were spotlessly clean (as, it appeared, was the rest of the restaurant. On seating the waitress then disappeared without another word. We had ample time to look over the menu and figure what we wanted to order. We ordered loaded nachos and halloumi for starters (the halloumi we found a little later was not in stock). As the nachos were a large portion we decided to stick with that and share. I was unsure between two mains and asked the waiter what he recommended and went with the pork belly in treacle and partner the steak. The nachos…. Definitely enough for two people there! Hot, loads of topping, more than we could fit on to all the nachos. Also, nice and hot! Once done we had a bit of a wait for our mains, but it was busy so no worries. When I food arrived it was again, piping hot. The steak wasn’t a premium cut but did have a good flavour and even though cooked well done, was still nice and juicy. The pork belly was lovely, plenty of meat on the slice, and very tender, served with a fried egg, rice, beans and sweet corn. The food filled us nicely and tasted good. Our only remark was that for the price of the steak, we would have got a better cut at other restaurants. Should we go again we certainly wouldn’t have this. I had a little room left so ordered churros with chocolate sauce. I’ve never had these before but they were delicious, especially dipped in the sauce. Clearly freshly cooked, light on the inside with a good crunch on the outside, the portion size was also very good for the price. For drink we has the raspberry, strawberry and lime mocktail. These had a good flavour but I felt the amount of ice soon diluted this. Personally, if I go again and have a mocktail I think I’ll tell them to go easy on the ice so that I can retain more of the flavour. The waiter was brilliant brought the food while it was piping hot, answered questions fully and knowledgeably so ensured he had a tip at the end. Well done Chiquitos, it’s a shame you are closing next month, I wish I had ‘found’ you earlier!

We haven’t visited for a long time and we will not be coming back anytime soon. It’s 17:30 on a Wednesday and restaurant is quiet with only 3 tables occupied, despite this the service is appalling. Our starters sat under the hot plate for a long time and when it came to table was like warm. The table beside us had to go looking for someone to pay the bill and found the staff congregation in corner chatting. It really is awful service and mediocre food, don’t waste your money go elsewhere !!!!

The worst meal we've ever eaten. Soggy sweet potato wedges, a burger that came without a bun, a pathetic helping of salad and the most awful tasting cole slaw. The first and definitely the last time we eat here. I only wish I had my phone so I could have photo evidence of just how bad this meal was.

Arrived to our reservation of 15 people on time for Mothers Day and were seated quickly. Took a while to take orders and seemed very rushed. Waited 1.5hrs for our food and due to this we had to buy many drinks as we had finished them by time the food arrived. When food arrived, a few meals were wrong. Sea bass meal had no flavour and was soggy, informed staff of this- no apology, was offered an alternative which was put onto the bill as an extra meal which meant we paid even more! Poor service and meals for the price. When bill arrived, they had added additional meals plus a £45 service charge! This then had to be discussed to remove. Wouldn’t return again and wouldn’t recommend.

We went last night with family and friends to celebrate my daughter’s 19th birthday. The service was very good, our server was lovely. The food was excellent and served at the same time, which was very good. The server brought out the birthday cake, we all sang, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. There was a slight issue with a discount voucher, but the manager (also lovely) sorted it out and was very helpful. Overall, a brilliant restaurant, fantastic food, and very reasonably priced. I would 100% recommend!

Service was fine and friendly but we were embarrassed by the food that presented to us, we decided on starters of habinero prawns and nachos with chicken and chorizo. Habinero prawns were massacred overcooked prawns drowning in a hot ( which was expected) but very tasteless sauce. Nachos that were burnt and served with non existent chicken and chorizo, both dishes left us feeling under whelmed and wont be returning.

Popped in here hoping for a quick lunch, over 2 hours later we left fed and (marginally) watered. Nice surroundings and pleasant staff but that where probably the good stuff ends. For starter we had chip and dip, might be wrong but I’m sure years ago they used to give you this for free but it was basically half a dozen greasy tortilla chips with 3 egg cups of dippage, really nothing special and quite bland. We waited over an hour to be served our main and so I was hoping for big things but was presented with a slightly burnt quesadilla on a plate, no garnish, not even a handful of fries or salsa to dip, my partner had a chimichanga which was rather the same, pretty bland, no real Mexican flavour. We had one drink each and wasn’t offered any others in the time we spent there. We have been here before but not for a long time and it’s quite sad really as I remember it being quite nice but I think mainly for drinks as feels like more of social place than an eating place. It’s a real shame that these sort of places which are heavily branded lack substance in the kitchen, im guessing mainly pre-produced stuff and sort of thrown together in the kitchen rather than made from scratch. We left feeling a little disappointed and probably not likely to return as just didn’t think it was worth the £50 for what is really Taco Bell on a plate.

We sat down and ordered drinks from a very charming waitress then were served with sizzling, tasty food. When the sizzing fahitas arrived we think maybe they had confused their portion sizes there was so much meat but it was all very tasty and well cooked. So much there that we took a doggy bag home afterwards! There was a frustrating wait for the food for a third member of our group to arrive (we wonder if they accidentally put two portions on the first plate) but it was only a few minutes and the waitress was very apologetic. The tacos were tasty, hot and filling. We ordered one starter which we shared and three decent mains with a bottle of wine and the bill for three of us was £60.

Party of 5 and we got a nice greeting on arrival and the waitress taking our order was friendly and polite but then it all went downhill. A while after taking our order we were told that they didn't have enough ingredients to do 2 of the starters (crispy Haloumi sticks) but could manage one. So that meant one of us had to select another starter. The other 4 starters arrived long before the reelected starter. After eating the starters we were told that they didn't have enough ingredients for 2 of the mains and one would have to reorder. I said it was not good as we had just had to do that for starters and the reselected one arrived late. I reselected the main and the waitress apologised and said she would ensure all meals arrived together. When they arrived one of the meals was not what was ordered and when I pointed it out and said what it should have been it was just taken away, no apology and a few minutes later the correct dish arrived. On paying the bill there was no apology, not even a "was everything else ok". I would never go back and could not recommend it to anyone

We hadn’t been to Chiquita, Peterborough for a while and was looking forward to it.I understand that due to post-Covid , that there are staff shortages in hospitality. However, my feeling is, that if Chiquita was short staffed, they should restrict the number of tables they fill and not just let the whole world in!We waited for 5 minutes at reception. We were seated. Waited another 10 minutes for a drinks order. 35 mins later the main courses arrived with the drinks following 2 minutes later.I had ordered a “chicken quesadilla”. What I had was not chicken but pork. It was definitely not a quesadilla and I think the waiter had picked up a burrito by mistake. I tried to get the attention of the waiter for 5 minutes, but the staff were so stretched, nobody actually clocked me looking around. So I ate it anyway. My partner had a burger. It was cold. I think that it had been waiting on the pass for a while.We finally got somebody’s attention to pay the bill, paid and left. Won’t be going back.Word of advice to Chiquitos - If you are short staffed, please stop letting customers in and concentrate on giving good service (and the correct food) to an amount of tables that you can manage.

Little off putting to watch one of the team, I think the manager, man, dyed blond hair, in the cooking area eating pieces of chicken and licking his fingers. No doubt his lunch but not really appropriate to do this where meals are prepared and in full view of diners.Food was nice but overall average dining experience here.

Popped in for a quick cocktail before having a meal elsewhere. Customer service was much better on this occasion that a previous one. Cocktails were absolutely delicious. One thing that was a little off putting was the food delivery drivers arriving to collect orders kept arriving and using the tables at the front to put all their delivery bags etc on and hung around that area waiting which obviously isnt pleasant if youre seated on a table close by. Ann allocated section for them might be a better idea. Also with Covid etc i wasnt sure they should be using the freshly cleaned tables for bags that could have been anywhere and were then put where people were eating and drinking.

Visited Chiquito with my wife, on a rare kid free evening.Booked online and the restaurant was busy which was nice to see.Service was a bit patchy at first - we were asked what we wanted to order no more than 10 seconds after we had sat down, and then more or less immediately after we were offered drinks, and asked again if we had decided what we wanted to order. More or less straight after this, we had 2 drinks served to us which we hadn't ordered, not a great start!Eventually the service settled down and was good but our server was clearly hampered by an electronic issue as the device used to order wasn't connecting well so took some time to get our order out.The food was great when it came, wife had tacos with chicken to start and enjoyed those, I had the nachos with chilli which were excellent.We also both enjoyed mains of veggie chilli (wife) and fajitas with chicken, pulled pork, BBQ sauce and cheese (me) which came with salsa, sour cream, guacamole and cheese. They were cooked well and the flavours were great.We ordered sides of spicy fries, which were good and garlic tortilla with cheese, which was too moreish. Initially we were served it without cheese but was swapped quickly with minimum of fuss.The wife was full after all this but I had to have the churros for dessert which were pretty good too.Bill came to just short of £60 - 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 sides, 1 dessert, a large bottle of Corona and a soft drink - decent enough value. Easy to pay as well by scanning the QR code on the table so no need to wait - this was a good idea.Overall some service glitches didn't ruin a good experience.

The food was absoloutely superb!! However...based on the service I won’t be returning by choice. Very abrupt staff and nobody appeared to be in charge. They were seating people at the bar as no tables were ready warning them of a 30 min wait but when it reached the 30 mins, telling them it would be another 20 mins. We sat with empty plates in front of us for half an hour whilst several members of staff continued to walk past and look at us...when they needed tables back so badly why would they not be on top of clearing tables to get customers out!? Asked for a coke and had to wait 20 mins for it to arrive even though staff were laughing and joking in the bar area. Very disappointing!! Norwich one is so much better!

Lovely staff. Met nice immediately When me my wife and my two young daughters came in. Thereafter Valentino took over for our order and was very patient and exceptionally familiar with the menu. He gave suggestions and I was grateful for that due to my personal dietary requirements. Great staff great food and even better with a taste card

Always love it here. Staff are super friendly and food is incredible. Garlic tortilla bread is the BEST. Love the customisable mains (burritos, tacos etc). All of the desserts are amazing, they change them up quite often but the churros are always available and delicious!

I invited my partner to Chiquito for lunch, never been there before. The food and drinks were amazing but the reason we will be definitely coming back is the lovely waitress Tatiana! Hope to be served by her again 😘😘

We always come here on a Friday and always get a few of the starters which are always good!We had open tacos, beef was good however chicken was so dry, didn't complain as this was a one off for us.I had the Enchiladas, I always like my food separate. I asked for rice and cheese sauce on the side, cheese, sauce and pulled pork in the enchiladas. (This is what i get every time i come here)They came and no sauce in the actual enchilada, cold and cheese wasn't melted. The rice was so dry, you couldn't swallow it. Manager came over and ordered me a new plate. Came worse than it did before, soggy, cold & watery, however the sauce was in the enchiladas this time. When the server came and collected our plates i mentioned this. Our server came over and handed us the bill. No mention of desserts, or anything else.(They took my meal off the bill however we have a taste card so nothing was actually taken off) I will add our server was so quiet and miserable, she obviously didn't want the extra overtime. We also got seated next to the toilets which wasn't great as the mens was directly opposite us, which we all know isn't the best smell "sick emoji" &also had to keep jumping up to close the door as no-one in the restaurant managed to do this. FYI My partners food was good! Shame about mine and the service! ....wont be coming here again until theres some changes.

When I went to this restaurant I received excellent service by my waitress Allanah, she was very friendly and made the experience ten times better with her attentive and helpful assistance with choosing of a menu item that suited my vegan dietary requirements, 10/10 would recommend Chiquitos and Allanah’s wonderful service.

Have eaten many times at Chiquitos but today the chef outdone himself. Nachos with Chilli beef were absolutely banging. Tons of chilli and toppings perfectly layered. Staff were attentive as always. Vegan options are good and son really enjoyed the Vegerito.Will never tire of this place. Not had a bad meal in over 20 visits.

We received a lovely welcome and the place is very inviting. Served by Tajana and could not fault her. We used a Meerkat Meal 2 for 1. Not sure I would have wanted to pay full price but for the price we paid it was fine. Food was good and we both enjoyed our meals. Rated as average just due to the fact food came out very quick which is not always a good sign but the staff are great and make this place somewhere worth visiting!

I’ve always liked Chiquitos but am disappointed tonight. The starter of nachos is ludicrously priced what it is: a few tortilla chips, salsa and sour cream. £6.49 for 20 odd tortillas is crazy; you guys need to look at it. There are no high price ingredients in there to warrant that price.My burrito was a bit tasteless sadly and I had to put on a lot of hot sauce on. Secondly, there was no rice in there. I asked the waitress after my meal as I’d only realised towards the end, and she said the chef said there would have been rice. I am almost certain there was no rice. I wasn’t offered anything off my meal given that I didn’t get what I had paid and I didn’t ask to be honest because I was keen to go. Lovely surroundings and music as always, and my waitress was lovely. But overall disappointing at every course. I’ll think twice before returning to a Chiquitos again anytime soon.

Whilst the food itself wasn't bad, we were waiting absolutely forever and found the service awful. I went for a birthday meal - never again!The first drinks took over half an hour, we were told the bartender had 'walked out'! No discount nor anything else was offered to us following this wait. After being there 45 minutes they finally took our food order, which took another 45 minutes to arrive and they burnt my friends order of a garlic tortilla not once, but twice! We expect to wait in a restaurant but the poor service alongside the long wait really added to what felt like a bad atmosphere. All the staff seemed to blame each other for what was taking so long. Overpriced for what we had, absolutely will not be visiting again.

Came here with a group of friends, didn’t have a clue what anything was on menu as first visit so didn’t know what to expect. Chose fajita, and that’s all it was, very plain dry and nothing else on the plate. I at least expected some salad with it. Expensive for what you get so won’t be going back anytime soon

Used to regularly come to this restaurant, service was always great, you’d get some paprika sprinkled popcorn whilst waiting and food was always well worth it. Then we visited today......Stood waiting for a few minutes upon arrival, no clean tables. Sat down at a table and waited a good 10 minutes or so before a young lad came over to take drinks order. Apparently he couldn’t take the food order though? Menu seems to have less dishes than before, all priced higher than before too. I went to order pulled pork but was then told ‘we have none left as we didn’t order enough’ so had to go for a chicken burrito instead. Please see photo of so-called ‘chicken’ burrito. About 3 cubes of chicken!! Shocking. Also, you got a side of about 6 plain nachos with your food but no salsa or guacamole to go with them! Side order of ‘skin on fries’ was absolutely atrocious. Got about 10 chips in a small bowl and I asked the waitress ‘this doesn’t seem the right portion size’ to which I was told ‘I’m sorry this is the same amount of chips we give everyone’ - guessing everyone must be disappointed. Also, very hard to tell who the staff are on duty, all look scruffy and don’t look like they really care about being there. All round poor service and genuinely bad food. It’s a shame as it used to be so much better.

Booked a table for 4 on Saturday 7th September in the evening. The table was dirty, so were the menus. Ordered our food, waited and waited for our starters. When they came, the nachos had been burnt. Sent them back to be replaced. The starters were not worth the money. Main courses came, the place was then starting to empty, Drinks order was wrong, service was awful, food poor etc, etc. Best part of the evening was the churros, don’t think you could go wrong with them. we were starting to think we would not get our meal finished before there 3hr car parking time limit.When trying to pay the bill, the staff were unsure how to operate the machine. Our daughter and her boyfriend apologized to us afterwards for taking us there. We will not return and advise others to look elsewhere.

waited over an hour to get our food...if there's more than 10 people in your party don't go here, the kitchen can't cope.Also never ask for steak to be well done...unless you want new false teeth.Also be prepared to lose at least 4 hours of your life.this was my second time going here in a year and NOTHING has improved...there won't be a third time.the manageress is great but unfortunately she's the only one there that is. God knows where the cook (definitely NOT a chief) learned the trade...possibly YouTube?It's bloody expensive also. bottled beers at over £4 for less than half a pint.... that's 12 stubby bottles from Aldi (lol) and the food's also pricey for very small portions (3 chicken strip starter with no salad/chips or anything else was over £5)so would I recommend it?NAH?Go to the Harvester across the way, it's cheaper you'll not feel hungry after you've eaten and you'll be out of there before your next birthday.

Visited with family on a Monday which was extremely busy, the place was packed due to a promotion and another restaurant nearby closing down. Despite this we were served by Katie who absolutely impressed me with her dedication to making sure we were happy. She was completely rushed off her feet and working so hard bless her, she looked exhausted. Most people would have been grumpy as hell working so hard but she remained super polite, friendly and attentive. There were a couple of issues with the food which she completely resolved to our satisfaction. We were all super impressed by her and nothing was too much trouble. she is a massive credit to the business! This lady should be running courses on customer service. Thanks again!
