Chiquito in Newcastle upon Tyne

We popped in on Wednesday lunch after a crazy busy few days, and everything was lovely, unfortunately I didn't have much of an appetite so took my food with me (still great cold a few hours later), but my other half loved everything. I need to give a special shout out the the blonde waitress who was incredibly friendly, efficient, was running around seemingly doing everything but keeping her cool 100% of the time. Best service I've received in a place like this. I only wish I could have tipped her more!

Served by Niamh very lovely and welcoming thank you so much !💕

me and my boyfriend came to chiquito for date night and we had the lovely mike as our server, he’s stunning, he’s beautiful, he should be the manager, we will be back just to see him personally because he absolutely made our evening. he had the most wonderful attitude and made us feel immediately at home, we will definitely be back !!

Mike was amazing, very friendly and attentive!

Food was incredible as always, the lady (Jemma) who served us was absolutely lovely and couldn’t have done anymore to help us Came back to the newcastle branch and Mike was incredible, great customer service and sense of humour was brilliant! 10/10. Highly reccomend.

Food wasn’t great today, but could not fault the service by Mike who was 5 star plus & he did help with our complaints which was sorted to our satisfaction

Had an amazing meal in this restaurant, bbq ribs were to die for and Vilnius with Liepa were outstanding, very professional and polite at all times. Highly recommend this place.

Pathetic food - Steaks, miserable don't try - Quesidia not nice Overpriced for what you get Atmosphere was Ok, but delayed orders and service Strongly advise to not patronize such shops

I waited a long time to receive COLD tacos and horrible orange juice from a box. Worst tacos I've ever had in my life.

I am a asian that came to visit my sister here in Newcastle, wanted to try some new places so we went here, waited 25 minutes for a table (they said 15) and then proceeded to wait another 20 minutes without service, when i asked the waiter when i could order she rudely said that it was “normal” to wait 20 minutes even though all other customers were already served. Worst service i have ever received.

One of the worst experiences I’ve had in years. Terminally slow service. Mixed up orders. Below average food. Took 50 mins for starter to arrive (chips and salsa). Another 30 for mains to arrive. Had to get up and ask three separate members of staff, on three separate occasions for cutlery. Worth adding that the place had more members of staff in the restaurant than customers at the time too. Food pretty poor in terms of value too. Chicken fajitas consisted of half a grilled chicken breast and about two large onions with microwaved tortillas from a plastic bucket. Only reason I’m not giving one star is that I managed to avoid getting food poisoning.

Our waitress was very accommodating and lovely, she was so patient and sweet and the atmosphere of this restaurant was really good. We ordered the make your own burritos and loaded fries; the fries, were delicious, we got the beef ones and they were by far the best thing there. The burritos however, were not up to par. They were cold, stale and had way too much avocado in that all I could taste was avocado. For the price you pay, I certainly don’t think we’ll be going back.

As a Texan living in the UK, Chiquito was a welcome suprise to stumble upon. I brought two of my lady friends to give them a taste of authentic Tex-Mex food and we all were highly impressed! Food, service and atmosphere were absolutely fantastic! We all left full, satisfied and very happy! I approve of this restaurant and recommend it highly! Authentic TEX-MEX food here, not Mexican. There is a difference!

Love the food my mam dad and brother loved it too 5 stars recommend you go it perfect

I visited here today (01/12/2024) with my wife and daughter to be told we needed to book. We booked and came back at the required time. We were seated and given a menu, we chose our drinks and food and gave the drink order to the waitress. Drinks took twenty minutes to arrive, there were dirty glasses on the bar and not many staff working. My food arrived cold so was sent back. It wasn't very tasty and overall it was very expensive.

Very disappointing. Nacho chips looked and tasted like the cheapest ones available from the supplier and the chicken and chorizo was like rubbery cat food. Quesadilla wasn’t much better. Music was absolutely terrible. Service was pretty decent though, a nice lad looked after me. I was expensing my meal so couldn’t be bothered to make comment. Had it have been my own money, I’d have shared my thoughts. I was just keen to leave asap as the music was so awful

Another successful visit to another chiquitos, food was great and fresh again, had a bit of a wait for our mains due to some confusion but we were compensated with some money off our bill so that was nice and it definitely didn't put us off going again, not sure I'll order the Texan burger again though as there was some sort of spicy mayo that I wasn't expecting to blow my head off but it did, however the lettuce tacos were amazing and I had to pinch a couple of my wifes jalapeno poppers which with a jam that I hope they sell by the jar because I for one would absolutely buy by the case load I added a photo of me waiting for my burger for humour

We called in for lunch while we were shopping. At first we were disappointed to see there was no longer a sharing platter on the menu, but we were able to order 3 starters & fries to make our own!! The food was so fresh & delicious, we really enjoyed it - 10 out of 10!! We got pulled beef quesidillas, jalapeño poppers and ting chicken tacos with a portion of skin on fries. The dips were gorgeous & it was presented really nicely. Ordered diet cokes, which were a decent size, so didnt have to order another halfway through like other places. Staff were so friendly & chatty. Lovely decor & atmosphere too. We dont live near but will definitely return next time we are in Newcastle.

Really lovely food and friendly staff. We ended up being charged £15 too much in error and we realised later and rang up (I should have checked our receipt) but they voided the bill as it was their error, which was nice of them.

The poor staff in this franchise. 2 serving, 2 in the kitchen, in school half term. Somehow they managed to keep smiling and being polite but come on Mr/Mrs Manager... Hire some staff otherwise half the customers won't come back.
