Great place and atmosphere with wonderful staff, especially Valentina and Luiz. The food is also definitely worth the wait. But my personal favourite had to be my drink, which was the Sugar Skull, though there seemed to be a hole in the glass because the drink kept disappearing. Definitely recommend this place, and will be back soon. Also, thank you to the manager as well who recommended the desserts.

Absoutely loved this place, the food, the staff and the ambience and people around, all were amazing.
We had vegetarian food and my little daughter's first time experience with maxican food was fabulous. She also loved the way food was presented.
I would highly reccommend this restaurent.

My experience at Chiquito Mexican restaurant was fantastic! The tasty nachos were served piping hot and had a perfect balance of cheese, sour cream, and salsa. The main course didn't disappoint either - the incredibly good chicken fajitas were cooked to absolute perfection. The flavors of the tender chicken, mixed peppers, and onions were heightened by the sizzling skillet, and the beautiful presentation made it all the more appetizing. The service was top-notch, with the polite and friendly staff making sure that all my needs were met. Overall, I would highly recommend Chiquito to anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying Mexican dining experience.

We always love a trip to Chiquito. It's tried and tested. Food and drink are always great, as are the staff.
Can't fault it.
Paula
Lovely place to eat. Our waitress Erika was amazing and made the evening very enjoyable. The food was also extremely good. Despite being a busy Friday evening, we didn't feel neglected at all. All in all, good staff and good food, can only recommend.
Nicola Kear
Pretty good dining experience this evening. Food is quick to come and hot. Dishes are bigger than expected, so don't fill up on starters. Mocktails are delicious.
Sarah Dyne
We have visited the Portsmouth branch 4 times now and we love it. The food is always so tasty and the portions sizes are decent. We've gone with friends and also taken the kids so suits everyone. Staff are elite. Excellent customer service, manager very accommodating and nothing seems to be any trouble.

Really enjoyed our taco meal with corn bread and green bean Fries.first visit to this restaurant will definitely be going back again. Only odd thing was the dipping hot sauce they have three levels mild, hot 🌶️🌶️, and volcanic 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️. So we plumped for the hot ...... Definitely not two chillies far to hot for the food ordered, I would hate to think how hot the volcanic sauce is. I like spicy food but this is on a different level. Parking nearby this restaurant is on the first floor with an escalator up but not down and the lift is under maintenance/renovation so not sure suitable for all customers.

This is the worse meal I have ever had ! The tacos looked like dog meat the chicken is so dry don't know why they ask you how hot you want it as do not season anything food bland. When we told the waitress she just walked away and served another table. I would never eat there again ! Vile and staff don't care
Laura Stewart
Staff were quite blunt and rude, like they couldn't be bothered to be there! Food came out on a "sizzling" hot plate that weren't sizzling nor hot! Also we asked to move tables as ours wasnt quite big enough for us and the amount of food ordered and point blank refused even though it's was completely dead in there and there was 5 other large tables we could of sat at and remained empty the entire time spent there. We've usually had a great experience in past visits but on this occasion was left disappointed all Round! Not in a rush to come back!

I'm definitely disappointed as I wanted to have a gluten free burger finally and what I got wasn't a burger. I don't know how can they call something without buns as burger. This is a burger: � when I ordered it wasn't highlighted that I will get a naked "burger" and without buns it shouldn't be the same price either. And they haven't offered discount or refund.

Went to the Portsmouth Gunwharf restaurant ( I use the word restaurant loosely) Wednesday tea time, I have to say it was one of the worst meals we have ever had, my nine year old grandson said his burger tasted as if it had been cooked the day before and then reheated in the microwave it was so dry, of the six meals ordered only two were eaten, we complained to the waiter several times and he said he had informed the manager, we thought he would come and speak to us, we thought wrong and when we asked we were told he’s too busy, we were given a £16 discount as a goodwill gesture which is a total insult, when we left I went over and spoke to the very busy manager who was standing by the kitchens, he was not at all interested and denied all knowledge of our complaint despite telling me he had given me a goodwill discount and blamed his staff, absolutely disgusting customer service, we won’t be returning to this establishment,

Without doubt the WORST dining experience ever. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Although the staff were fine, the food was perfectly ok (even for my so called snot goblins) this was more than ruined by very very slow service and the disgusting attitude of the manager. Once we'd eaten the trouble started. After I pointed out a discrepancy in the bill the staff said they couldn't rectify it but the manager would. The manager came over and was absolutely vile, despite the fact that an error had been made on their part. He then basically called me a liar in front of other diners and told me never to come back. Well guess what. ..... that would be absolutely fine by me as I wouldn't eat there for free. And to the toss pot who's reviewed saying that all bad reviews are basically made by spoilt idiots - get a life. It's more than possible that the bad reviews reflect a badly run joke of an establishment, especially as the bad reviews appear recently to be, by far, the majority. But I guess we're all wrong/lying and you're correct, eh?

I went with some friends on a saturday lunch and it was great.
Friendly staff, delicious food and tasty drinks.
I enjoyed my lunch so much so i recommend it.
Russell Gibbs
The taste was OK but when you ask for it to be volcano hot you don't expect it to be mild at best. Very disappointed on the heat side of things
Matthew Meager
Been here 3-4 times over the past 2 months and had nothing but great service from really friendly staff. The food is amazing the fact the gluten free menu is so good so my partner has as much to choose from as me is a real treat. I was almost put off by the bad reviews but I have found the points left by others to be untrue those people probably expect silver service for them and there little snot goblins and probably left no tip but a massive mess to clean up.
Head here and try for yourself this is my new favourite restaurant in gunwarf.
Katharine Cleall
Absolutely awful food and the manager Martin argued the toss with us!! Cold food and the way he treated us was dreadful.... not coming back again
Sarah-Jane Hudson
Absolutely terrible service! We had to ask for more chips as there were literally half a dozen in a bowl for £2.75. It took so long to wait for food and then staff walked past whilst our empty plates had been sitting there for at least half an hour!! They were happy to talk at the bar and chat! I don't usually complain but have been here before and had great service. Such a shame. There were other tables complaining so I think the overall service etc today is pretty dire..
Jade Kelly
Today's visit was absolutely diabolical! Cold food, cold plates, portions for a mouse! And we'll over priced!
Tricia Marshall
The waiter was great but the food took ages and most of it was cold when it arrived and had to go back. We did get a healthy discount as a result but very disappointing
Gretel Tellis DSouza
Visited this place twice on two seperate days- breakfast and lunch<br/>Ambience - 3.5/5<br/>Food - 3.5/5<br/><br/>All the mains had been cooked amazingly and to perfection, no complaints a bit on the taste/ proportions.<br/><br/>If your on a vacation and trying to have different cusines, then I'd definitely recommend this place.

Visiting the Gunwharf outlets. Wanted a quick lunch as time is for finding the bargains. Closest was Chiquito as we walked up. I know it's a fast food chain outlets so shouldn't expect too much, but it's just bad enough to make me write about it.<br/><br/>First thing was, I arrived at the restaurant at 14:10 on a Tuesday, past any rush. Most of the table was empty, but the lady put us on the table closest/next to the toilets.<br/><br/>Ordered the nachos to start and tacos for main. Then the Jambalaya for my girl. The waiter asked if we wanted things to arrive all at once, pressing for time I said yes...<br/><br/>We waited for our food, maybe 15 mins, it feet longer..... our mains arrived, it was good, as normal food should be. I specifically said mains, as the nachos was no wear to be seen. I waited thinking it will arrived but finished my main course. So had to ask the waiter... something had gone wrong so had to wait another 5 min.<br/><br/>So they apologised when the nachos arrived. It was horrible, the nachos was stale. No crunch, tasted like it was opened since the weekend. The guacamole sauce was only enough for a few nachos...<br/><br/>We had no service at all. Our waiter only came to us once we finished all the food.<br/><br/>Too bad, we like Mexican food.<br/><br/>
Wael Eino
By far one of the worst experience Mexican places in been with. , the service is extremely poor and the food quality is below average , our starters took 45 minutes to be ready , that was a complete disaster , then came the food warmed in the microwave .
Pedro Mota
Chiquito is a great mexican restaurant on Gunwarf Quays. It has an amazing price quality relationship which means that you'll good, well served and exciting mexican food for a relatively low price.<br/><br/>Fajitas are the best, specially chicken!<br/><br/>Also tried the tacos as a starter, they are delicious too.<br/><br/>I always get my Desperados with a slice of lime on top!
