“REAL Mexican”

Very good food, but not done the same way many in the US are used to. They do have some Americanized type dishes though. I was told the owner goes to Mexico for a few weeks a year to learn new things, however, I noticed over the years the menu goes largely unchanged. Either way, it's very good food and my favorite Mexican place in the keys.

“May be the best mexican I've had”

A wonderful, friendly, relatively inexpensive mexican restaurant with some inventive recipes as well as familiar standards. I had the Chipotle Chicken, my wife had a regular burrito and taco, my youngest daughter had the portobello mushroom burrito and my eldest had a bean burrito. I also enjoyed some sangria. Our family left very satisfied and debating among ourselves whether it was the best mexican we've had, or was it just close. The type of conversation I would like to have after eating at any restaurant.

Looking for a change from seafood, we visited Chico's after noticing their full parking lot from day to day. It was definitely a good choice. You can choose from either an outdoor dining area or indoors. It was a bit cool out so we opted for indoors. The staff was friendly and the service good; the food was very enjoyable. Overall enjoyable experience.

“Mexican at its best”

Chico's Cantina

Oct 28, 2007

As a local we have wonderful restaurants to choose from and Chico's is a staple. We dine there at least once a week and take out as often as we can. The food is authentic and delicious and the owners always make you feel at home. We have several choices for mexican - but for us locals it is always - Chico's!!!

“The only Mexican Resturant to eat at in Key West”

Chico's Cantina

Oct 25, 2007

Chico's has carried their name and reputation in this town from a small taco stand to a top of the list resturant. The food is consistant and a large variety menu. Take your catch of the day in and have it prepared with exellance.
If you have doubt just ride by any time of the day and check out the packed parking lot. It all speaks for a great place to eat out.
