Had dinner here earlier this evening. I would give it six stars if possible. Great ambience,…read moreextremely well trained staff and friendly servers that made good recommendations. I had a local tequila and a local beer that were both excellent. The fish soup appetizer was a meal, as noted/advised by my server. But I also had grilled shrimp which were perfectly grilled and delicious, as were the side order of mashed potatoes that came with it. Latte was tasty but needed to be hotter, and I just wasn't up for asking my server to take it back and heat it more. Overall, a fantastic dining experience at a reasonable price in my opinion.

Pan Mexican flavors with great music and vintage Mexican movies silently entertaining on the walls. It's busy and we had to wait for a table so reservations are a good idea.

WYSIWYG, so seating is limited, service is functional, and the ambience is what it is. But, if you want a memorable Shrimp Fajita dish that doesn't break the bank, you'll find none better. It's a dish of ~16 goodly-sized shrimp and onions, paired with guacamole, Pico de gallo, and sauces, along with the ever-present corn tortillas. I'm leading with this, because we got it twice, and it was hard to forget. They also have fish, octopus, and more, in a number of preparations (cocktails, soups, fillet, ceviche). So, a fair bit of variety. Just don't miss the Fajita option. Cash Only!

I was served the wrong dish, and when I politely brought it to the waiter's attention, I was told there was nothing that could be done and that I still had to pay for it. The meal was boxed up for me without offering a replacement or any solution. When it came time to pay, the credit card machine was handed to my husband for the tip, which felt awkward and dismissive given the situation. The food itself was also underwhelming. I asked about adjusting the seasoning and was told it wasn't possible. The flavors were not what I expected, and having eaten at restaurants all over the world, this meal fell well below that standard. For a restaurant that presents itself as service-oriented and welcoming, especially to visitors, this experience was surprising and disappointing. En Espanol Estoy realmente decepcionada por mi experiencia aquí, especialmente porque este ha sido uno de mis restaurantes favoritos en Mérida. Me sirvieron un platillo incorrecto y, cuando se lo mencioné amablemente al mesero, me dijeron que no había nada que se pudiera hacer y que aun así tenía que pagarlo. El platillo fue empacado para llevar sin ofrecerme un reemplazo ni alguna solución. Al momento de pagar, la terminal para dejar propina fue entregada a mi esposo, lo cual resultó incómodo y poco considerado dadas las circunstancias. La comida tampoco cumplió con mis expectativas. Pregunté si era posible ajustar el sazón y me dijeron que no. Los sabores no eran los que esperaba y, habiendo comido en muchos lugares del mundo, este platillo estuvo muy por debajo de ese nivel. Para un restaurante que se presenta como orientado al buen servicio y hospitalidad, especialmente hacia los visitantes, esta experiencia fue inesperada y decepcionante.

My nieces frequent Chichi regularly and they like it. This is a seafood restaurant with extensive menu with meat and other options. If you're a vegan like me, you'r options are limited but not impossible. The bay windows open and if you're seated by them you have a grandiose view everything going on the boardwalk and the beach. If you didn't want to eat in the restaurant but wanted to eat on the beach under a Palapa - thatched umbrella dining table, and if there was space available, the Palapa it is. The service is slightly slow but for a Saturday afternoon it's expected with a full dining room. There are make shift box fans spread out in the dining area and each table is equipped with mosquito fan and a purse stand. As a vegan, I ordered the guacamole minus cheese and minus Chicharrones. The guacamole was fresh and the habanero salsa options at the table SLAP!! There were four options with the black one - fiery spicy but had a tremendous amount of flavor. Even though it's fiery spicy it's not overbearing for me. The rice and fried banana plate needed to be clarified before final ordering but I was told that there was not any animal products in my dish. The SOL cerveza was ice cold and was continually replenished. The rice and fried banana plate arrived and it was good not great but good. Everyone else's dishes and were plated with care. My nieces enjoyed their dishes as well. Can Chichi be a tourist trap ? Maybe but we were a party of 7 with apps, entrees, drinks, and deserts for $200. All in all it was a great Saturday lunch that left us full for the rest of the.
