This restarant was a hit. The staff was very friendly. One of the waiters even saw that I had my camera out and offered to take a photo of the family. The chips and salsa were really good, and the entres were even better. I cannot begin to explain how good the refried beans and gaucamole were. This is really a great place to eat.

“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.

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!!!
