The portions are fairly small, but about right for the price and for lunch it is probably just right. There are various items on the menu such as fajitas.

However service was fairly quick so I didn't mind too much. Basically, for the price you can't have too many complaints.

And it's not true Mexican that I am use to back in the states and that is not a bad thing. The food is what I would call Mexican inspired food and done really well. The lamb taco was more like a small burrito. The enchiladas was also more like a burrito. Now both were done real well I thought the lamb tasted better. The bar area was nice and trendy. Overall a very good experience. Oh the "hot wing" the non fired ones was really really good.

Bedford has always been missing something when it comes to restaurant choice. Foregoing the obvious…read moreomissions of chains such as Ask or Cafe Rouge, there has been one giant missing piece which my taste buds have not thanks me for since moving to the town; the lack of a Mexican restaurant. Whilst many may not agree with me that Mexican food is some of the tastiest, loveliest, most homely cuisine you can honour your tongue with, I happen to absolutely love it. So as soon as I saw the sign, I was in like a shot to make a reservation (definitely something to consider if you want to go at peak times). Let's be honest with ourselves for a moment though. When you've been waiting for and wanting something for a long time, in the end it's more than likely to disappoint. So it was with a certain amount of trepidation that I entered Baja yesterday evening ready, as ever an Englishman tends to be, for disappointment. What I got was an explosion of spice, flavour and a sense that I'd been returning to this place again and again. I'd just found the best food in Bedford by quite some way. The restaurant itself is clean and modern, with just the right amount of colour to set the scene. A combination of tables and booths overlook, well not too much to be honest. The view outside wasn't spectacular (just some empty shops), but the view on my table turned out to be more than adequate. (As an aside, the bar at the back of the restaurant does have a better outlook, with the Castle Mound and river just in sight). I started with a bowl of Breaded Calamari and Tentacles, which was not only delicious, but also came in a portion that could feed a family of four. I'm definitely not complaining though; the squid was a perfect texture and the breadcrumbs gave a satisfying crunch. Spot on. There was the risk that after such a humongous starter, there wouldn't be any room left for the main course. That was until it made its heavenly appearance on the table in front of me. My Enchilada was stuffed with chicken, Mexican rice and beans, and sat on a bed of passata. Topped off with melted Monterey Jack cheese, salsa and crema, it practically melted in the mouth. There was a hint of coriander running through the dish, which set the whole thing off for me. As my Mexican-loving eyes are probably too big for my belly, I also chose Frijoles as a side. Black, pinto and kidney beans, refried and topped with crema and melted cheese. They were truly stunning. I could have happily sat and had a couple of those as a meal on their own. My dining companions' food was also very well received. In particular, the Big Baja Salad was a definite hit, coming in its own huge edible tortilla bowl and with more lamb than any one person would dare to eat in one sitting (again, not a complaint). Desert was a big no as we were all completely stuffed from the wonderful food, though next time I'll try and save enough room to sample a Sweet Chimichanga. The only real disappointment was with our cocktail. Our mojitos tasted of not much other than rum and definitely needed more than the single leaf of mint that had been put in the glass. But that's not really much of a complaint, when the meal itself was so well prepared. I made a point of saying before the meal arrived that I hoped I would finally find a restaurant in Bedford that I would want to return to frequently. I found it.

Imagine how disappointed a Mexican person would be about Tex-Mex, which is great to me. That's how…read moreI felt about Chigito's. Others had warned me about British Tex-Mex, but being the adventurous fellow that I am, I decided to take a chance. Now, I can aptly warn others about British Tex-Mex. Instead of a bowl of tortilla chips while you peruse the menu, they bring out a tiny bowl of seasoned popcorn. That was fine--every restaurant needs its "thing"--but the seasoning tasted kind of like mesquite barbecue seasoning and there were a couple slightly wet pieces that made me wonder if I should continue. When the chips did arrive with my meal, they were (at least they tasted) stale with the same strange seasoning. As for my main, I ordered a burrito. I was filling, though flat, and very not bad. If a bunch of friends were eating here, I wouldn't refuse to join them, but it will be a long time before I take this particular adventure again. (If it doesn't go without saying, I think this review is probably appropriate for all the Chiqito restaurants.)

It took about 10 minutes for my server to come around after i was seated and i nearly walked out. They were out of Modelo which is always my second choice to Dos Equis. The appetizer was overpriced, small, and took 30 minutes to arrive. The main course followed the appetizer by about 15 minutes which wouldn't normally be bad but after the 30 min wait for the app. it's absurd.

We went for a late lunch (about 1:30 p.m.) on a Saturday, so I wasn't expecting the place to be packed, but was certainly not expecting that we were the only ones there. We were browsing the menu and they have a Saturday and Sunday lunch menu for less than £9.00. They also have student specials. Everything on the menu looked really good, but I chose to go with the beef burrito. My friend went with the chicken fajitas. She also asked for sparkling water with lemon and the waitress had asked to double check that she said lemon, but when it was brought over it had a lime in it. At least we knew that the meal was going to be fresh... there was a lot of chopping and sizzling coming from the kitchen. My friend said that the chicken fajitas were good, but could've used a few more peppers rather than onions. My burrito looked lovely on the plate and I was so excited to see Pico de Gallo on the side of the plate. The pico was great, the burrito was really good as well. It was seasoned well, the tortilla soft (not crispy like a lot of other places), and I really liked the drizzle of sour cream and queso on the top of the burrito. The refried beans were good, but a little dry. And the rice... well I still haven't found a really good Mexican rice since I have been here. The rice was good, but tasted more like something you would get in an Indian/Middle Eastern restaurant. Overall I really liked the food. I would go back and I would recommend it to others.
