My wife and I were in Montpelier, and since she was craving tacos, we decided to try Chico's Tacos…read moreand Bar for the first time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. Our server, Sam L, greeted us right away and asked if we preferred to sit indoors or outside on the patio. We went with the patio, which turned out to be a great choice, it had a fun and relaxed vibe, perfect for dinner.
We started with the Chips & Queso ($6) as our side. The chips came out fresh, and the queso was creamy, flavorful, and just the right kind of indulgent starter. For drinks, I went with the Jarritos Punch ($15) sweet, refreshing, and definitely a fun pick. My wife stuck with water, which Sam kept refilled throughout the meal.
For the main course, I ordered the Gordo Burrito ($21). It was an 11" flour tortilla stuffed with guajillo/lime chicken, refried beans, rice, pico de gallo, and cheese, smothered in a red sauce, and finished with crema and guacamole. It was hearty, flavorful, and more than satisfying, the perfect comfort dish. My wife went with the 2 Tacos ($13) one with chicken and one with beef. They came topped with cilantro, onion, lime, and cotija cheese on fresh corn tortillas. She really enjoyed them and loved how authentic they tasted.
Overall, we were enjoyed our meal. The food was fresh and flavorful, the service from Sam was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the patio ambiance was just right for a casual night out. Chico's Tacos and Bar is definitely a spot we'd come back to the next time we're in Montpelier.
