Review Chico's Cantina - Key West

Christa Bennett
This restaurant gives homey family run vibes. Staff is very friendly, attentive and polite. They start the table off with warm tortilla chips and delicious salsa. They have many options to choose from and combinations platters are great if you want a mix of a few things. This is definitely a spot we will return to in the Keys!

This is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to in my entire life. The food, staff, and atmosphere were all a 10/10. It is so beautiful inside and everyone was very friendly, kind, and welcoming. But the best part of this restaurant is of course the delicious food served. I ordered the flautas and carne asada and it was the most heavenly food to ever touch my tongue. This was an entirely different experience from the food I have eaten my entire life as I am a little white boy. I can’t believe I’ve gone the first 19 years of my life missing out on this. I went with my mexican boyfriend as well and he says it was very authentic and the best mexican food down here. I almost cried eating this food tonight. It was genuinely heaven on earth, the most delectable food I’ve had in my life. My eyes were watering and my lips quivering as I ate this delicious food. To the wonderful servers, staff, and cooks, I hope you all have wonderful and happy lives because you have certainly changed mine for the better. I love this restaurant so much and will for sure be returning very soon.

Fantastic Mexican food in Key West. The tacos were amazing, the burrito was great, and the enchilada was very good. Service was fantastic. I went there 3 times in the 10 days I was in Key West.

Stopped here when we were craving some tacos and lucky for us the special for today was quesa birria tacos, you can order just the tacos or with rice&beans (we ordered two with rice and beans) When you're first seated they bring a basket of tortilla chips and salsa while you wait for your food Everything was delicious , the cilantro on the tacos really brought in so much flavor I loved it Then we ordered the cinnamon sugar sopaipillas (fried donut holes/munchkins) with honey butter dip. Superb! Total for 2 mains, 2 beers, one dessert was $68 I recommend you try it. Good food, good service and clean establishment

The only taco place I would ever recommend. Servers are so friendly and outgoing, and guided me to the right menu items of what I wanted. Their fresh catch ceviche is incredible, and has so much great flavor. From the limes to the fish itself, it's definitely a dish to try. I tried their fish taco dinner, and it was amazing. Making my own taco was fun. Their habanero sauce is extremely spicy if you ask for it, so be careful 😅 but it definitely goes great on dishes.

We stopped here on a whim while traveling to Key West and we are glad we did. The staff greeted us with smiles and we we seated immediately. Chips and salsa came out right away and the were delicious. The menu is smallish but there were still a lot of choices. We both ordered a tamale and it was crazy delicious and one of the best we’ve ever had. I got the nachos and my wife got the chimichanga. The nachos were great but the chimichanga was wrapped in such a way that there was a big wad of dough on one side and it was tough. The filling was delicious though. This is the only reason i didn’t give them a 5 star review. The stop was definitely with it.

As soon as you enter Chico’s you know you are in a special place. You are greeted warmly and it’s usually by the owner, Jeff. The atmosphere is inviting and you know your meal is going to be extraordinary. We dined on Cinco de Mayo and the restaurant had a perfect low key celebration. We dined out on the patio and the temp and surroundings were just right. The chips and salsa are memorable and there is a reason they are additional for refills. It’s that good and worth it. The star of the day was the daily specials. We had the Quesa Birria Tacos and the Chicken Pipian Verde. These two dishes were 5star prep, taste and portion. Jeff’s son Ashton was our server and you can tell he has the same love and philosophy for the business as his father. There is a reason Jeff has been in business for over 39 years. Here’s to another 39! Parking is really not that bad. Be patient, kind and you’ll get a spot. Jeff, Ashton and Team have created an exceptional place to be with friends, family and have a 5 star meal. Don’t even think about it. Go right now to Chico’s. You can thank me later. BRAVO Jeff.

This was hands down the BEST RESTAURANT we visited. The wait staff were amazing!! Very knowledgeable of the menu, very personalable, and fast! Kept our drinks refilled and even brought out pitchers for our convenience. Huge portions of food and it was all hands down the best! The atmosphere is warm and friendly, we sat on the back deck outside and while it was hot outside they had many fans that it felt very good and we were comfortable. Seafood enchiladas were top notch!!

A little pricey for Mexican food, but definitely worth it. The Nachos are set up so each chip has a topping! Grouper Tacos, amazing! We sit outside on the covered patio, it's charming and quiet. The service is impeccable!

It's definitely the best Mexican food I've ever had. Everything on the menu is good. My favorite is the chicken and bean tacos. Best chips and salsa , Get the cheese dip appetizer, and definitely save room for desert. Everyone that works there is awesome!

We stopped in for lunch today. What a fantastic meal! This family owned business has been her for almost 40 years. Everyone was super friendly. By far, the best shrimp I have ever had and you have to try the cheese dip and chips. Definitely worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.

Chico’s is amazing! Fast and friendly service! It looked so amazing when it arrived I almost forget to grab a photo. The tacos were unbelievable. We met the owner while there and he was top notch. We had a great conversation and he was welcoming and helping run the restaurant. Everything was running like a well oiled machine. I would absolutely return here to continue trying every item on the menu.

We almost didn’t go here because of some bad reviews we saw but so glad we did go! It was delicious! The service was amazing. Everyone was chipping in to take care of all guests. I’ve never felt so well taken care of at a restaurant before. Highly recommend!
Janice Wellborn
The shredded beef enchilada I ordered was the best I’ve ever eaten and I’m from Texas! Service was great! Refried beans were delicious and so was the taco. My husband’s chimichanga was huge and delicious! Highly recommended you try it!

Best Mexican food I've had since living in Phoenix! My family was visiting so we drove down to the Keys and stumbled upon this gem. Great service, salsa was FRESH and perfectly seasoned, beans were spot on!! We will be back! Please open a location on the Gulf coast, we need you!
