Visited Chiquito at the Metrocentre today and had a really good experience overall. The staff were friendly from the moment we arrived and made us feel welcome. Service was good throughout and, as a nice bonus, they even gave us a free round of drinks, which you don’t see very often and was really appreciated. The food was spot on. The chicken was soft, crispy, and full of flavour, not dry at all. The chips were properly cooked too — crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, not greasy or underdone. Everything tasted fresh and well made. The restaurant itself was clean and tidy, tables were cleared quickly and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. Only downside is the price, which is a bit on the expensive side, but the quality of the food and service made it feel worth it in the end. Would definitely return and would recommend if you’re eating at the Metrocentre and want good food with friendly service.
