Super yummy Mexican food, great selection of dishes and tasty drinks!
Nestled in the North Galleria among the American style chains (Burger King, Maccas, Frankie & Benny's) is Chiquito's (yes another chain restaurant, but at least they don't sell burgers!).
After living in New York I am a little picky about my Mexican food, but Chiquito's seems to have the goods. On our first foray we ordered the Veggie Chilli Burrito, the roast veggie Fajitas, and a kid's roast veggie Burrito. All three were flavoursome and reasonably true to my lusty memories of Mexican and Margaritas back in the "big apple". There were also plenty more veggie things on the menu that I would come back to try (not always a given when you're vegetarian... many places might only offer one choice that rarely changes, not particularly enticing our return!).
Additionally, there was plenty of good choices on the kids menu, not just nuggets, pizza and pasta, but actual real mexican dishes (burritos, fajitas, nachos and tacos). Again, several decent vegetarian kids choices. Plus kids are well catered for with a bumper entertainment pack including crayons, stickers, a jigsaw and the usual booklet with puzzles and colouring pages. High chairs and a change table were a given.
Another chain it may be, but it has good food, tasty drinks, a decent selection of food (veggie and omnivore), and caters well for families. It has my vote! ;) read more
