Went for dinner with a friend here. Interior was cosy, and nicely decorated. Food was tasty and the portions were very generous. The prices here are also great for the quality and quantity of food you get. Cocktails are also delicious, and there is a happy hour for 241 too! This restaurant also takes tastecard which makes eating here very enjoyable and very, very cheap. Highly recommended.

Booked in advance for a weekend evening meal. Yummy food at really reasonable prices. Delicious cocktails. Real fun atmosphere, not too loud/dark. Would recommend for friends/dates/big parties!

Went on a Thursday night it was fairly quiet. The service was good and prices reasonable on the extensive menu. The food was fresh and tasty. We had 2 courses and a bottle of wine for £40 using tastecard.

I went with my partner for a late lunch at Chico Bandito. I liked the restaurant as I celebrated my birthday there last year, however this time I went back the staff were rude. We were the only people in the restaurant and it took nearly 5 min for someone to seat us as there was nobody in the front of house. Eventual the rude male waiter (Dutch or German) came to take a drink order without even a hello or a smile. Food and drink was good. Eventually when we finished our food the staff were sitting having their meal and we had to call someone to give a desert menu to which we were told rudely by the owner there is no dessert today, he then continued to mutter under his breath about us. We got rude looks when we arrived and the owner appeared to be disgusted by two men having a romantic lunch together.
