I used to be a fan of the original Chiquito at Newcraighall until they demolished it along with the cinema 8 years ago.
Now we have a new cinema and a new Chiquito.
Busy and bustling, didn't have to wait long for a table and enjoyed a tall mock-tail of fruit juice as I scanned the menu.
For starter - garlic bread with chilli. I enjoyed this crispy flat bread soaking in garlic butter, parsley with added chilli heat.
Mains came sizzling in a hot skillet - Peri Peri flavoured chicken fajitas loaded with salsa and guacamole. A very generous portion, I was stuffed after eating this tasting and spicy dish, and couldn't manage a dessert.
Tasty conveyer belt Mexican food. Good value and atmosphere.@

I went here for lunch yesterday and loved it despite not being a big Mexican food lover. We had garlic bread with cheese and chilli poppers for starters which were both amazing. Both came with heavenly dips. For main meals I got a halloumi salad and my boyfriend Gary got a pulled pork wrap. He really enjoyed his and I liked mine but I'd have preferred it if the peppers, cucumber, red onions weren't cooked and warm because warm salad isn't as nice as cold by far. The main menu was also quite limited for me with there only being one thing I'd really eat. The puddings were incredible I got the churros with chocolate dip and strawberries which I really recommend. Gary got the honeycomb and chocolate cheese cake which he also loved and that too came with strawberries and chocolate dip. All portion sizes were big and very filling, the lunch menu is very reasonably priced although I believe dinners more expensive. We were served by 'Sam C' who could not have been lovelier or more helpful! The restaurant itself is laid out nicely and had a lovely atmosphere and is probably my favourite of the new fort buildings so far. The only other criticism I would have is that they need more on their drinks menu- they just have lemonade, tango, Pepsi and diet Pepsi in terms of soft drinks! I had a lovely first time at Chiquitos and would 100 percent go back and recommend!
Warm staff especially a very kind and attentive Sam. Delicious food! Love it
