Having just moved from a place where Mexican food is big, I was delighted to discover that…read moreBirmingham has its very own Mexican restaurant. I love Mexican food and the ambience that usually comes with Mexican eateries. Thing upbeat music, colourful decorations and a warm and friendly service. I am sorry to say that Chiquito is not like that at all. Whoever developed the concept for this restaurant I am sure has never set foot into a Mexican restaurant before. It's sleek, dark, empty, with weird music and less than attentive waiters. As far as the food goes, it's not bad. Some of it was even tasty (like their guacamole). But it's not Mexican. It's probably what someone who has never eaten Mexican food before would come up with when asked to cook Mexican food. I mean, there shouldn't be BBQ sauce. On anything. And just because it's Mexican doesn't mean you have to add sweet corn and salsa to everything. And they don't even have frozen margaritas. This is obviously a huge place someone has put a lot of money into. Why not try to do it right? You left me sad and with a craving for tacos, Chiquito.

What's better than good Mexican food.......cheap but amazing Mexican food!…read more £6 for a burrito the size of your head (and I have a pretty big head) loaded up with a choice of pork, beef or chicken. I went for the pork with the hot sauce and mix of beans.....I can never decide on one and generally want it all! You can eat in here and I would recommend trying the upstairs. The spiral staircase is quite steep and will help you to burn off at least 5 more calories........bye bye food guilt! I have also ordered form this place on Deliveroo....it was also amazing....Mission Burrito...thank you for assisting me in failing terribly at my diet in preparation for summer....was totally worth it :)

Mucho Gracias!…read more Superb lunch time Monday pick me up! That fills the spot just right. Tip: if you work in one of the companies in Brindley Place you may be eligible for a discount. What I go for: Regular Beef with Salsa Verde sauce. Yummo! (Rick Stein reference)

The staff are really nice, and the atmosphere really nice too. The food was spot on, full of flavour and nicely presented. My husband only had one problem and that was that there was too much fat on his steak. He still enjoyed it as it was seasoned really well. I would recommend this place, if you fancy something different to Indian, which Boldmere has a lot off, you won't be disappointed.

Tried this restaurant for the first time with family. Very delicious food, freshly made. The…read moreservice is great. Not a lot of space for large groups but for the location it is perfect, right opposite the new Asda in Shirley. Glad to see no YOBS hanging around here, perhaps due to the fact that it's a newly opened restaurant at Parkgate, Shirley. The setup is grunge, metallic and futuristic and vintage at the same time. Beautiful place to have a good food. I am glad to discover this new restaurant. Just another information for specific group of people, this restaurant serves halal meat, which is good move to get in wide range of people. Food ording style is same as Nando's, you go and sit at numbered table, choose your food and go to the counter and order. Drinks are limitless fills. Would love to see ice cream in the future. Great staff. Definitely recommend to all.

Strangely, it was served in martini glasses? But I digress... Our party was 3 adults and 1 child. We ordered the chili con carne nachos to share as a starter. This was an excellent dish to share and would be fine as an entree for one. I ordered the chicken burrito bowl as my main. This dish was just okay. Chicken wasn't really seasoned but with some S&P and hot sauce, it was acceptable. Other dishes ordered were the chicken enchilada, 1/2 chicken peri peri style, and the kids' chicken crispers w/ curly fries. Everything was okay. Some dishes a little better than others. But otherwise a very pleasant dining experience. Ruth was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend the nachos and cocktails!

Two pints of Carling, 1 large Pinot Grigio, and 1 small glass of Sauvingnon Blanc = £12.95. It's not a place I'd return to out of choice, but friendly staff. Extremely noisy with piped music and several TVs. I had to remove my hearing aids. It also boasts a pool table.

Recently refurbished, it looks quite nice from the outside and although the inside is very new, it still feels like a chain pub. Part of the Sizzling Pubs chain, the menu is substantial and extremely good value. It's predominantly a grill, with some very hefty looking burgers and grilled platters but it also has a sideline in Mexican food. They have a mix and match burger list, with several extras you can add to the standard, chicken or veggie burgers. We had the chicken fajita and the chicken chimichanga, both of which were very good. Staff were ok but not very helpful- not providing cutlery with food nor saying where to get them from. It's a bit low on atmosphere, but it is one of the larger Harborne pubs, with a function room by the restaurant and a fairly big real ale list. It has sky tv and a nice snooker table too. Personally I rate atmosphere over anything else so would be unlikely to return, but can't knock the food.

Good place for group dining such as a birthday or night out with friends, as it's upbeat and can get loud with other groups in the restaurant. The music is good and adds to the atmosphere. Food is super yummy, and there is a lot of gluten free options. I enjoy the fajitas with the gluten free tortilla wraps. They are soft and flavourful and compliment the food. I like that they have gluten free options including dessert, and it makes for an enjoyable fun night out. There is a wheelchair ramp into the restaurant and there is seating for a wheelchair, but the space to manoeuvre can be cramped with full restaurant seating. We eat here several times a year and have always enjoyed the food and fun atmosphere. I also enjoy the margaritas!

Menu is a mix of latin dishes, Spanish style rice with prawns, corn and beans was flavorful. The nachos were different than expected with thick tortillas topped with salsa, guacamole and pulled pork. A nice kick with jalapeños as well. The fish tacos were dry. No salsa just a square breaded chunk of fish atop cabbage. Average. The Michelada was ok. You can choose your beer and then a little tomato juice, lots of chili salt and lime juice is added. I think the food and drinks here are hit or miss. Would ask for extra hot sauce or salsa on the side to spice up the dishes.
