We had a great experience tonight. My wife and i shared the Fajita Skillet (chicken) and Chico always nails it. Tender, moist flavorful chicken cooked in the iron skillet with a mix of vegetables creating terrific flavor. We tend to always get this dish as it is satisfying and of superior quality to most fajita dishes around Atlanta. Our server was Behane, a well informed professional! He knows the food, knows hospitality and was delightful giving us just the right amount of attention. We live in Brookhaven and will be back! read more

Went in during lunch hour. Love the inside and outdoor seating. Very spacious. Menu was the right length, wasnt overwhelming at all. My order came out in good timing. The portion size was incredible. Can't wait to go back and try the tequila. They have a huge bar. Service was good. Parking is limited. read more

Went for happy hour which is M-F 3-6 pm. Great service, our server was awesome! Very quick with drinks and allowed us to order close to the tail end of happy hour. Cant really beat a $5 spicy margarita! We also ordered most of the happy hour food menu and a steak quesadilla with mexican rice. Unfortunately, the quesedilla platter was so underwhelming that I had to give 4 stars. The fry appetizer was also a little undercooked. Otherwise, everything was delicious and cooked well. We sat outside and it was nice, music was fun and not too loud. At the end of happy hour a DJ came on and was great, started off way too loud but lowered the music to match the energy which was just our one table of 3. Would recommend for happy hour! read more

Came here for the first time and was not disappointed. We had a reservation and got seated after a short wait. Things were moving slowly but our waitress apologized several times and explained that they were short staffed. Even with that, the wait wasn't too bad. It was a casual vibe with seating that ranged from booths, tables, high tops, bar seating, and a patio with additional seating. We started with the Guac and Chips and Salsa with Chips. The guacamole was delicious and tasted fresh. We got the lowest spicy level and there still was a kick, but very manageable. The salsa was a salsa verde, and a little too spicy for my taste. I do have a very low spice tolerance though so this may be laughable to your group! For the entrée I ordered a Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla and it was delicious. The serving size was great and there was a good ratio between the cheese, chicken, and tortilla. But I had to save the best for last. To drink I got a Strawberry Margarita on the rocks and it blew me away. This could very well be the best margarita I've ever had. It's located in the shopping center so there is ample parking and it's very easy to find. Would recommend! read more

Our team opted to dine here for a large group dinner. We were immediately sat upon arrival. It's a good sized medium to large environment with bar & patio seating. The guacamole was really good with the chips. For dinner, I opted for their duo tacos (Wagyu & lamb). Both were very tender and seasoned well. Our server, Berhane was friendly, professional & attentive. I would be willing to go back and try other things on their menu the next time I am in town. read more

Chico Cantina - Wagyu & Lamb duo taco with cilantro rice & black beans - Mexican Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

Great spot in Town Brookhaven for delicious tacos (lots of choices) and watching sports! Found this place on Yelp. They also have a brunch menu/cocktails (Sat-Sun 10-4pm) and $5 happy hour specials (Mon-Fri 3-6pm) incl. margaritas, mimosas, and sangrias! Love the open space and all the natural lighting during the day. Service is very friendly too. I ordered two tacos which looked small but the fillings are generous to the point that it got quite messy to eat and with the corn tortillas, fell apart ... but they were delicious and worth it! Next time I may opt for the flour tortillas, lol. They do have all kind of tacos - and unique sauces ... salsa verde cruda, salsa aji amarillo, avocado ranch, salsa guajillo, salsa morita, and salsa verde! CRISPY SALMON TACO - $4.75 Fried battered fresh fish, corn (from the cob!), cabbage slaw, salsa verde cruda. Yummy! BEEF BARBACOA TACO - $4.75 Smoked beef brisket, pickled onions, salsa aji amarillo. Generous amount of meat - also yummy! My friend got the Breakfast Tacos ($14) which included 3 tacos w/ egg, chorizo, crispy potatoes, and salsa verde cruda ... except the crispy potatoes were missing. Our server was going to get them on the side but they never arrived ... guess the kitchen was busy. She still enjoyed the tacos. I'd definitely return - I'd like to try the Happy Hour specials. FYI they are located in the old Red Pepper Taqueria spot, just across from Publix. read more

We sat on the patio - very clean. I ordered the Wagyu and shrimp tacos and both were delicious -- a great place to stop and get a quick bite. My friends got margharitas (peach and mango). I tried both -- fresh, the right amount of sweet and strong. Lots of parking in the area. Customer service was top notch too. read more

Came here to watch the game. I sat at the bar and my bartender was great. I ordered a taco since the meat is cooked on the green egg. I was looking forward to alot of flavor but the meat was bland. I was really disappointed since it looks so good on social media. I may give them another try eventually. read more

Chico Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

I came in on a Monday night and ordered takeout at the bar. I repeated my order several times since the bartender seemed confused. I was patient, but I specifically asked for sauce on the side and no cilantro on one of the dishes (I have that "cilantro tastes like soap" issue!). Not only was my order completely messed up, but the food just wasn't good. Maybe this is the kind of place that's better for dining in, but definitely not for takeout. Really disappointing. I won't be returning. read more

I dropped by on a Sunday afternoon and sat at the bar. I'm glad they renovated the previous bar a bit and updated the space a bit. I had a chicken tortilla soup, that was in a tomato broth. I also had 2 mango margaritas, which were delicious. My server was super accommodating and loved her energy. Looking forward to coming back for happy hour and official brunch. read more

Since Red Pepper Taqueria closed, I've been very excited for Chico Cantina to open in its place! Service has been nice so far, and the ambiance is casual. While it's not an authentic Mexican restaurant, the flavors are great! You can tell a lot of love has gone into this. I have come in a couple times so far for dinner and have enjoyed the experience. I've had the chips and salsa, queso, guacamole, calamari, ceviche, a couple of the tacos (shrimp, and fish), a couple quesadillas (shrimp with all the fixings, and just cheese), Mexican rice (last time, I asked for the other rice option but I received the Mexican rice again as a mistake... it's yummy but I'd love to try the other next time), and pineapple bread pudding. Everything has been tasty. The margaritas are fantastic! Sadly, the first time we went, they were only doing on the rocks--not sure they've gotten their frozen machine up and running yet. I got the "condesa" which was perfectly spicy-sweet! Additionally, the last time we went, they were only serving house margs. Not sure what's going on with this, but I can't wait for their full menu to be up and running. For those who don't drink alcoholic they offer a nice big menu of mocktails that all sound yummy. Looking forward to returning to try more things. read more

It took a little bit before my server showed up. My margarita was pretty good. It also took a while. They were not busy. Just a little slow. My tacos were really good! And, my server was very nice. I'll definitely go back..... read more

Met here this evening to celebrate 40 year high school reunion and my first experience eating here was outstanding. The service was very good and the tacos were delicious. I went with a barbacoa and a lamb taco. Both were excellent! My wife enjoyed some great nachos. Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

Yall already don't have any customers in here at least provided top service to the ones you have. Won't be back read more

Absolutely delicious! The food is bursting with FLAVOR! The chips were served hot and were not oily at all - and perfectly salted. The salsa verse was screamingly delicious. Very, very fresh. I am attaching pics of the salmon tacos and herbed rice. Both were phenomenal. The tacos had a little spicy heat but with the fresh corn (it was clearly cut fresh from the cob), cabbage salsa, and a verde on top, it was beautiful. Not pictured were the grilled shrimp tacos. I am sorry for being redundant but they were grilled perfectly and were as fresh as could be. Service was amazing and it didn't cost a lot for our dinner for two. read more

Food is very mid. Not sure how their cocktails are because I got a bud light. The chips were stale and the shrimp taco was just okay. My brother got the spicy chicken wrap and it was too spicy to enjoy. Not even the flavorful heat, it was the intolerable heat. Service was decent. The waitress was friendly and attentive. Their patio is dog friendly and heated for the winter. read more

Tried this place for the first time with my husband and loved it! Food was delicious: we got nachos appetizers, and for entrees the quesadilla and enchilada. The enchiladas in salsa verde were top. For dessert, the pineapple bread pudding was ridiculously good. They also had tasty mocktails. Samuel who runs the place came by to check on us periodically. Great service and lively ambience to complete the experience. Will definitely be back. read more

Great menu variety. Oysters were fresh, large, and delicious. Good choice of margaritas and flavors. Beer choice good and cold. Service was superb. Meats are grilled on the patio -lots of good seasoning and flavor! Patio and inside have great large TVs for viewing sports. Patio is covered, open on sides, and has many ceiling fans to circulate air. read more

Great service from Madison who explained the menu is Mexican fusion, not traditional Tex-Mex. She was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Made great recommendations. Food was terrific! We opted for tacos, which were delicious and creative. Loved the lamb tacos! Sat outdoors on their porch, which we enjoyed. read more

Denise was amazing. I had a couple of oysters during happy hour and a margarita and the service and food were superb

Have been here a few times now and really can't recommend this place enough. Always great food, and their drinks are fantastic (highly recommend the frozen pineapple margarita or even the frosé, but honestly everything I've tried has all been really good). I've only arrived in time for the "$5 happy hour" once, but it was fun to be able to sample a bunch of their appetizers without breaking the bank. Finally, the staff have always been incredibly friendly, and we recently had a chance to chat with one of the wonderful managers, Maria, who mentioned some of the fun events they're planning on doing. Already looking forward to going again. read more

Food was solid. Good atmosphere. They will work out the kinks with the service and should be successful.

Good vibes and good food! Service was good and the $5 happy hour margarita was AMAZING! Will be coming back. Enchiladas were good too!

We tried Chico Cantina for the first time and loved everything about it. The shrimp and smoked pork tacos were delicious, as were the margaritas. And the staff were topnotch, especially our server Sahaanaa. read more
