Chiquito in Newcastle upon Tyne

Everything was nice lovely food just the lemon ice cream too sour i had to ask for chocolate topping, defo come back for nachos

Love chiquitos, pineapple salsa is amazing from here

Food was ok, although steak slightly over done and a bit pricey for what we got.

Excellent!!! Very tasty, fast - friendly service, great atmosphere!

We were seated nicely in a great booth. Host Michael was very attentive with quality service, food was delightful. Great atmosphere, not too loud and some authentic Latin tunes to boot.

Lovely food, friendly staff Jemma was our server brilliant service with a smile. Texan burger was incredible.

We enjoyed our visit here. The food was very tasty and served quickly. We ordered 2 fajita meals, however only one showed up and the other had to be asked for again. Despite this, the staff were apologetic and served the second dish very quickly so we appreciated this. There's a wide range of options to eat with options for fussy eaters and mild food if you don't like spice. The restaurant is fairly large with lots of seating and is located nearby lots of shops and activity centres. My only issue would be the price being slightly high for the content, however this would not put us off returning again.

Cool place with fun decor. Service was great and quick. The food was amazing really fresh and tasty and the cocktail menu is good as well.

Lovely food and speedy service every time I'm in. Definitely recommend if you're out shopping and want a good lunch place

A little disappointed with the five bean chilli burrito (vegetarian). Nicely presented, but literally must of been five beans, lots of rice not many vegetables, No spice a little bland. Jalapeño sauce on table had crust around it so wouldn't use. Friendly staff and service. Lovely decorated restaurant but it was cold sitting inside.

I recently dined at Chiquito restaurant and was impressed by the staff and authentic dishes. The guacamole was fresh, and the salsa had the right balance of heat. The steak fajitas were perfect. The atmosphere was lovely as the overall dining experience. I highly recommend it for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine.

Great food and service. Chicken and Chorizo Nachos were fab and amazing service too!

I have always loved this place but today’s experience has completely put me off. Restaurant was cold. Service was extremely slow. Taco starter was disgusting. Slopped on and covered in squirty cheese ( the kind you get in a bottle). Beef chilli on top was non existent. I noticed other people left theirs too. Ordered fajitas and chicken was overcooked and dry. Fajitas came wrapped up and were stuck together and wet. Very overpriced for slop which is what we got. Unfortunately it was so bad I was sick.

The waiter had to come back twice as they didn't have what I ordered. They gave me a free salad to say sorry. The bass was nice, just a very small portion for the price. Waited ages for the bill, ended up putting my coat on as a clue. Probably wouldn't go back.

Perfect atmosphere and food thank you

Very good atmosphere, excellent food. Very good vegetarian/vegan options. The roasted veggies on my salad, recommended by the chef, were amazing. Laura was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making our time there truly enjoyable.

Lovely food in a pleasant venue. No orange gin though.

האוכל טעים, יש מבחר גדול של אוכל מקסיקני , יש מנות בצלחת , בטורטיה , בוריטו , יש חזיר, בקר, עוף , ניתן לעשות שילוב , יש מנות פתיחה טעימות , המסעדה בקניון , אך היא גדולה אז שאתה יושב בפנים אתה לא מרגיש בקניון, יש כובעים שאפשר להצתלם איתם ולקחת הביתה אם רוצים. יש גם קוקטיילים שניתן להזמין

Visited for a lunch. Both had the had sea bass- amazing! Cooked to perfection and the red chilli’s were hot! Really pleased given that it’s not a fish restaurant. Good service and not pushy to buy more.

The server was lovely, there was a lot of vegetarian/vegan menu choice, the food was presented well, some of it was nice, it’s quite basic though. The disabled toilets however, were indescribably filthy.

I can say it’s amazing Mexican restaurant😍

Laura is legitimately one of the sweetest waitresses I've ever encountered, she made the visit absolutely lovely, was super attentive, and was super kind to my friend who was there for their birthday! Lovely service

Enjoyable experience. Food was tasty, served piping hot, sizzling on the plate.

Came to a reliable restaurant and was absolutely gobsmacked at how poor the service and food was. Took 25 minutes for our drinks to get to the table (a coke and Diet Coke) when there was 4 other tables here. Food came very quickly afterwards unfortunately it was the most tasteless food I’d ever eaten water pouring out of my chicken. An ungodly amount of salt in my spoonful of coleslaw and the driest corn on the cob ever. Staff gave all disappeared behind the bar haven’t even asked about the food or if we even wanted a refil on our drinks or any sauces so disappointed.

Hi all. It was my stay-at-home son’s (Paul’s) 25th birthday last week and we went to this jaw dropping restaurant in Eldon Square, Newcastle (howay the lads ⚫️⚪️). The cheesy tortilla garlic thing changed his entire life. The cheese absorbed into his tongue, the crunch echoed through his ear canal and the garlic was good enough to scare away vampires - my wife wouldn’t kiss me for three days (maybe this is an issue with our marriage😉). The staff were superb and I even took a cheeky pic with a sombrero 😜🌮. This meal truly transported me to Cancun and was way cheaper than a plane ticket ✈️. Tacos were average, just order three cheesy garlic things and you’ll be fine. Yours sincerely, Thomas Hall

Amazing food yet again. Came for the lunch special and got 2 corses. Starter and main. Food was fresh and high quality and staff were friendly and attentive can’t wait too come again

Came for dinner. Had the idea while I was struggling with the heat quayside that I would quite like "Mexican" for dinner. That is distinctly American style Mexican but the seed was sown. A quick search found me Chiquito as a rated place. Took me *ages* to find it. Not exactly what I was expecting, this was quite like the franchises you find in Airports around the globe. Small "botique" versions of a more recognisable restaurant name. Found it nestled among other "Americana" food joints... Ok. Pleasant enough greeting staff after they got around to greeting me I was led to a table and given menus. I ordered the "classic" Margurita and decided upon Quesadilla pork carnitas. This is where I was asked how I wanted my Margurita. "Quickly, cold and in VAST volume" didn't seem like the appropriate reply. So I asked for it with ICE. The drink came very quickly but the volume was disappointing. (Truth to be told this is my first solo venture to a Mexican joint so a single whiskey tumber of ice and the drink did not match up to the Jugs I last had at the O2 before the Python extravaganza. ) Said drink was *very* delicious and my Quesadilla arrived whilst I was still working my way through my first. The food was very nice and I really liked the spice level with thin slices of chilli on it. It *exactly* hit the spot so I finished my drink. Requested the bill, settled up and left. (p.s. I did tip - food and service V Good) TLDR This was a quick bight to eat while shopping type experience. Not an "I really fancy *desired food* " experience. These are *NOT* the same thing and perhaps this was the moment when I realised that any "desired experience" requires, at least, some planning and preparation. Underwhelmed. Though this is likely *MY* problem not the venue.

Went tonight with my kids for the first time and the food was amazing. Service was outstanding. They missed off a burger patty in my daughters Texas stack burger and before we had time to ask them they were at the table and apologising and made up for it for us. Will be going back for sure.

Food was good, service was quite slow, even just getting a water was a long wait

This is so good I had the 5 bean tacos and it tasted great and for dessert I had churros with chocolate sauce

Nice relaxing atmosphere. Lovely staff. Fantastic tasty food. Decent portions.

Popped in at lunchtime as a spur of the moment thing. Greeted by a young waitress called Megan who was vey friendly and helpful as we had not visited this restaurant before. One minor possible complaint, don’t go here if you are in a hurry but if you want a leisurely friendly meal I can highly recommend it for Mexican type food. Again Megan featured high in our estimation as she refilled my husband’s soft drink without us needing to ask. She made sure we were happy with our food and was as I said very friendly

Steak was decent. While the staff was friendly and hospitable, they did take their own sweet time to serve the beers on a quiet afternoon and a near empty place. Nice ambience and well laid booths. Enjoyed the spanish beer.

Got seated straight away, ordered drinks and food, didn't have to wait long. Food outstanding, service excellent, prices fair. Recommend.

Absolutely lovely the service was great and the staff were exceptional

Guess they only value large tables so they can slap a service charge on them. When you ask a server if you can place your order, you receive a condescending “I am busy right now, ok!”. Throwing our dishes on our table instead of just setting them down, slamming down the card machine .. it was so bad that it was borderline hilarious! Perhaps one of the most appalling services I have ever experienced. It’s a pity because in the team, there was actually only one server who I saw really work really hard and efficiently. The rest of the team were happy to don a ‘don’t care’ attitude. Best to order takeaway if you really want the food here, give the eat-in experience a big miss for your own good.

Nice place in Eldon Square staff really nice food lovrly

We eat 2/3 times a month always worth the travel as it’s the most local one to ourselves top service every time

Love it here, food is always amazing and the staff are excellent. Atmosphere is friendly and welcoming

Had lunch here yesterday(and a few cocktails!).2nd visit here in a month.I can highly recommend this place for the food,the staff(and the cocktails!). We were served yesterday by Laura who was very polite and attentive.The manager,Meghan,also checked on us a few times asking if everything was ok.lt is lovely to experience good service in a very clean and comfortable environment.Most importantly,the food was delicious.We chose from the lunch menu and could only manage one course.Great value for money.Will definitely be back soon..There are many restaurants competing for our custom in Newcastle.This is definitely worth a visit.Thanks everyone.

Very delicious food. We ordered vegan nachos and vegan enchiladas. Both were full of flavour. Really enjoyed there.

Lovely meal with superb service from Meg, who went above and beyond to give us a special lunch as she knew we were celebrating, including an unexpected dessert treat 😁 . We particularly appreciated the choice on the menu of vegan/vegetarian dishes, and the mocktails were beautifully presented and good value. We went on a Friday lunchtime and the atmosphere was very pleasant, with several families, would recommend.

Food was not nice steak was basically all gristle and no flavour at all. We asked for the other food to be all separate in the bowl and it was a heap on each other. Chef had a face on him the whole time but the only best thing was the waiters as they were nice and polite.

Had an amazing time here !! The Food is literally a 10/10 👍 if ur vegan this is the place for you 🥺❤️

This place was really a let down. The food was cold, service was very slow. Staff all friendly however it took 20/25 minutes after we finished to get the bill and we had to ask 3 times. Dissatisfied really.

Regular food and unsatisfactory service in a great decorated restaurant. Highlights: 1h to bring a kids meal (what?) and about 20 minutes for the coke…

The food was nice but I paid 15 pound for 2 wraps woth the smallest amount of beef in. No salad, no filler, no side. It was so expensive. Nice food but I wouldn't get it again because the price just wasn't worth it Fab staff and a fab atmosphere. You need to offer more for the cost though

Visited last week with a few friends and had an amazing night! I wasn’t too sure what to order from the menu as they is a wide variety which caters for all however, a member of staff, Liepa pointed out the chicken fajitas, which were lovely!

Long wait between courses. Burrito well below average - very little beef in it and the wrap appeared re-heated. Very polite service though, hence the third star otherwise it would have been only two stars.

Food was really nice but if you don't order starters at the same time as you order your main meals the server will get really annoyed. Don't order fajitas at the right time she'll throw them down like thanos found the last crystal

Good food but staff spending all their time dealing with takeaway orders and not bothering with customers eating in.

This was a proper treat for me and my wife as they closed many years where we live. I don't remember it being Valley expensive soul even if we didn't have that much food. Shocked how much to charge for soft drinks

hard to work out who the staff is and who the customers are because the team spend a lot of time eating and drinking.during service.

I had a delicious meal and was recommended the cheesy garlic wrap(?). Tanya was a lovely waitress who was attentive, welcoming and positive. She really enhanced our experience so a big thank you!

Good fantastic very helpful any enquiries they are more than welcome to help you and also any food allergies. They will help. Also staff and management fantastic better than the Metrocentre no problems alcoholic beverages much better could not thank them so much and recommend to friends and family everything I’ll step of the way. Take care thank you if you can’t do the one in town you’ll have a fantastic

Visited with some friends for lunch whilst shopping in Eldon Square. I had the chicken Quesadilla which was delicious and kept me full for the rest of the day. Our server, Tanya, was fab and she recommended the garlic bread which I’m now already craving more of ha! Good speedy service and she made our lunch a fun experience. I’ll be visiting again. Thanks :)

i was wandering around the Eldon Square with my mum and wasn’t planning to visit this place at first but initially did and that café was top notch. i’ve ordered burrito and churros and it was extremely tasty, i highly recommend this place. the only thing that disappointed me is service, unfortunately, we waited way too long to get our bill, but still very good place:

Amazing lunch and got a last minute table for 8 people food was beautiful and cocktails was fab tried 3 different ones , service was great served by Megan the manager , thank you we will be back very soon

service if I could call it service was random at best food overpriced junk food ################################################################################################################### Then they have a card machine set up asking customers do they want to leave a tip.

Horrible place and horrible person so nasty and unpolite the people who work there are ignorant and leave people sitting without caring about them. The waiter shouldn’t answer:WAIT, and carryon to chat with a colleague!
