Chiquita's Pizzeria & Mexican Grill

This was a random stop as most of my food adventures are, i was looking for some different kinda pizza and this place caught my eyes with the garlic butter chicken tenders. The tenders...amazing the pizza was tasty & as always better the next day after being air fried. My only thing I aint like was the ground meat nachos that went to the trash me and my bro just couldn't do it sadly the flavor was lacking big time even though it looked good.

DELISH!!! Asked for a recommendation and Christa suggested a fresh slice of the el pastor pizza. SO GOOD! 10/10 hidden gem :))

Sub was DE-LISH!!! My daughter ordered it and I picked it up on my drive back to MD. The sub was GINORMOUS!! The chicken chunks on the sub were seasoned to perfection, sub was packed with ooey gooey goodness. I enjoyed the house made garlic Parmesan sauce but the tenders were processed & did taste processed, was expecting freshly fried strips of chicken, but nevertheless they were edible. The sub for me was a 2-part meal, definitely hearty & filling. I’ll go back to try other items, it’s my daughter’s favorite spot.

I would like to share I been patronizing Chiquita’s since they have been open! 6 years(Yay). I have a “Special” which is simply a cheese pizza. But not any ordinary cheese pizza! Mine is made with the medium size dough but baked in a personal size pan with lite cheese and well done crust. I certainly enjoy thick crust. When I first introduced my pizza idea I wasn’t quite sure if owner Krista would understand let alone meet me halfway. But she certainly did understand. And without hesitation shared with staff my request! Thank You Kindly Krista!! I recently visited my favorite pizza store and I can honestly say I have had other pizza but none quite match the personal touch or taste that I enjoy from Chiquita’s! While I was there Krista surprised me again with her professionalism and kindness. Cause she really didn’t have to do this. But she went over and beyond to make sure staff is aware of my “Special” all I have to do is share my name. Especially when she is not on duty. Thank You Krista, husband and Chiquita staff for allowing me to feel seen, heard and appreciated!! Please make sure you support Chiquita’s we need small businesses to continue to Thrive and Grow in our communities! Chiquita’s A+ Thank You again for you consideration and consistency! Sharron

One of my favorite places to get takeout in the city. The Al pastor tacos are my fave, they’re so delicious. It’s a great place to order from if you’re indecisive because their menu is huge and varied, spanning from burritos to pizza and almost everything in between. Old Bay cheesy tater tots, pierogis, creatively flavored “wonder wings,” fried Oreos…just a few of the things you’ll find on their magical menu. We love Chiquita’s!

The worst thing about eating here was that I ate everything and all of it was good. You can’t stop. I tried the Plantain and Steak Burrito, Elote and Churros. I wish the burrito was toasted to make it a perfect 10. The churros were some of the best I’ve had in my lifetime.

Came here for a late night bite with friends and I can honestly say this was one of my most enjoyable food experiences ever. It's not fancy. It is quite small, with only a couple tables. It's cluttered and crowded and noisy and you have to walk through the kitchen to get to the smallest closet of a bathroom I ever saw. And it was wonderful! It's honest and fresh and friendly and creative. My burrito al pastor was exactly what I wanted it to be. Sweet and savory and salty and huge. My companions got tacos and they seemed quite pleased too.

Suuuch good pizza, I just ate there today and it’s a must see in south Philly if you’re ever around Snyder. The chicken was juicy, and the owner is the sweetest person you’ve ever met! Highly recommend

EVERYTHING IS AMAZING! Tacos, cheesesteaks, fries, nachos, pizza & don't forget the wings (fried or grilled to perfection)... I believe the secret ingredient to everything is the love and care they put into each item. Presentation & taste is superb! I'm a regular & now have my colleagues & close friends regulars as well. When you go tell them Bria sent you. They know me by name lol

I ordered two pizzas - the al pastor and chicken mole. Holy cow! The pizzas were delicious - from toppings to crispy and chewy crust. The al pastor was my favorite. The meat was flavorful and there was just enough pineapple. Each slice of pizza had a slice of avocado. The chicken mole pizza was good. Unfortunately, I could not taste the mole sauce. The star subtraction is because this pizza simply tasted like a pizza with chicken on it. The green and red sauces (served on the side) were excellent on the pizza, but I wanted to taste mole. We tried another pizza place that had al pastor on the menu, and quickly determined Chiquita's is far better.

Decided to check this place out for Dine Latino week and was satisfied. We got birria nachos and a burrito. Both were appropriately priced for the size and heftiness. The consomme was just to my liking; herby, flavorful, and not too salty. We also got a melon agua fresca which was delicious and paired perfectly with our food. This is definitely more of a take-out place...sparse and cramped seating with minimal service. Vibes were off, and staff seemed annoyed about having dine-in patrons. I had hoped for our food to be hot, but they took quite long and food arrived cold. The cheese on my nachos had already hardened. If there's a next time, we'll be ordering for delivery.

Love this place! Great food, service and easy delivery! Los nachos son los mejores!

The Mexi Veggie pizza is literally the best pizza I've ever eaten. The combo of ingredients is something I never would have thought of but it's all so good together.

Absolutely amazing food and great service! I have ordered from there several times in one week because of how good their birria tacos are. And the grilled wings are amazing- crispy but not dry at all. Honestly 10/10 all around, and I couldn't recommend them enough. As for "Aubrey C", I find it incredibly ironic that she's going off about the workers there not speaking English when it's obvious that she herself lacks knowledge of the English language as evidenced by lack of punctuation and not knowing the difference between "their", "there", and "they're".

Placed a large catering order for a 15 person party for delivery. It went seamlessly! All the food was delivered at the time stated, it was hot and delicious! The crowd loved it! Will definitely do again in the future

Food was DE-LISH!!! Picked it up on my way back to MD. The sub was GINORMOUS!! The chicken chunks on the sub were seasoned to perfection, sub was packed with ooey gooey goodness. I enjoyed the house made garlic Parmesan sauce but the tenders did taste processed, was expecting freshly fried strips of chicken, but they were edible.

I visited my friend in town and we ordered from this gem of a place! The Mexican Pizzas and fried quesadillas are fantastic! Staff is warm and welcoming. Thanks for a great experience!

Our favorite pizza spot, we love all the different creative combinations. They also have amazing vegan food. Our family orders from here every couple of or few weeks or so. They are so kind and the service is amazing. Love this spot.

I order lunch from Chiquita's at least 1-2 times a week and am always very pleased with my food. My personal favorites are the Tajin Shredded Chicken Salad and their jamaica, but I've ordered other salads from here and always enjoyed them. The serving sizes are large and the ratio of lettuce to toppings is perfect. The food always comes quickly when I order delivery and it's always fresh. They even go the extra mile to seal the juices to keep them from leaking during delivery.

The absolute best nachos and Mexican pizzas. Great service, reliable and high quality food, and fast delivery.

Some of the best wings I've had in South Philly! Also love al pastor pizza , nachos, and tacos! Speedy delivery!

My husband and I only do take out once a week- on Friday. Chiquita's is a great go to because if we can't agree on whether we want Mexican food or pizza/ cheesteaks we can get both and everything we've had from here has been amazing. We order the fajita salad every time, no matter what. The homemade ceasar dressing is wildly good (my only complaint is we always order and pay for extra dressing and rarely get it).

Chiquita's is consistently very good when it comes to service and delicious food. I've tried most of their menu and it's all great, hard to choose from so many options! The jumbo fried quesadilla is out of this world, I ate for like 3 days straight

Chiquitas is a South Philly staple!!! We've been ordering from here since the month we moved to the neighborhood 3 years ago. The menu has such a variety, so many great options. Their quesadilla frita de birria is life changing (enough for 2-3 ppl), the street tacos are filling and flavorful, THE WINGS!!!!! Ugh no words. they have some of the most reasonable prices in the city. Support your local businesses, especially this one!!!

Any time I've had food here it has been really good! The pizza is divine, this is really authentic and tasty stuff.

My fiance and I order from Chiquita's at least once a week and everything we get is AMAZING. The pizzas? Out of this world.. the wings? To die for. Thank you for being a staple in our little area of south Philly

Our house loves Chiquita's! The food is great and the prices are amazing for the portions. Plus their delivery is always so quick! We own a pizza business and a Mexican food business, so we're hard to please but this place is one of our go to's!

This is not exactly a review of Chiquita's (which is a favorite pizza in Philadelphia after living here TWENTY+ YEARS); 5 stars to them. 10 if I could... This is a review of Aubrey C. aka "Marjorie Trailer Green" aka "Pussie Smollett" who also decided to spew hateful rhetoric and muck up a perfectly good Friday for the rest of us. Based on your loaded review, why did you find yourself on 8th and Snyder? Would love to know more. If you want to charge your Tesla, stick to the big box store parking lots. Dave Portnoy hasn't trekked his way here yet, so very curious what brings you to the badlands, as it were? Based on your writing comprehension, I would be very careful at criticizing others for their grasp of the English language. Additionally, the plausibility of bugs, sogginess, a hair, an insulting staff member, and Ryu the server drop-kicking your offspring into a permanent disability is about as likely as your tinfoil hat getting struck by lightning twice. However, if that were the case, look at Morgan & Morgan for representation... I'm sure they would love a deposed account of what happened from any of the voices inside your head. Stick to Papa John's, and papa Tide Pod.

Chiquita's is my favorite pizza place around. The owners are lovely and the food is always delicious and hot. Delivery is quick, and the staff are all always friendly. That woman below Aubrey is a racist troll who's entire page is full of nasty reviews and she just seems unhinged. Order food and see for yourself how lovely they are, and enjoy the delicious food this establishment has to offer.

We loooove this place! We've had nothing but delicious meals. The service is great too. Would highly recommend!

Chiquita's Pizzeria and Mexican Grill is a tiny place with just three tables and chairs. The name of the restaurant and the menu intrigued me. I am completely obsessed with Al Pastor and I can't say I've ever seen an Al Pastor pizza or an Al Pastor stromboli. But instead of being adventurous and jumping right into one of those items I decided to play it safe and go with the Al Pastor Street Tacos. For ten dollars and some change I got three healthy tacos garnished with the standard cilantro and onions. However, there were also sauteed onions mixed in with the pork as well as something else I couldn't identify. Could have been a kind of pepper (not spicy though) or possibly nopales. I picked through the meat to remove these extra onions and the other thing. I feel like with a good Al Pastor marinade you don't need to anything else to it. There were other garnishes that I wasn't expecting as well. Some carrots and cucumbers. With the addition of all the "others" one of the main ingredients was significantly lacking and that was the pineapple. I had barely any in my filling or tasted it in the meat. That's a tremendous disappointment when the Al Pastor is known for that flavor profile. All of my picking apart aside, the tacos were pretty decent. They gave me two green sauces instead of a red and green. The thicker sauce was very spicy and a good addition to the taco. I'm definitely willing to try other menu items and see what they have to offer.

I love ordering from here. The food is always fresh and delivery is always quick and correct. Milkshakes arrive in the perfect consistency, which always shocks me. A must try!

Everything about this place was amazing from food, service and ambiance. I highly recommend! We paid nearly $40 for all of this.

I've hired Chiquita's to cater multiple birthday parties for my family as well as one of my work events. We also get takeout just for fun! The food is always delicious, especially the birria quesadillas. I love the elote and the churros. The plantains are also excellent. I think their Mexican pizzas are way better than their plain pizzas but the kids like the plain ones. Service is quick and their delivery drivers have been great even when trying to find me in the middle of a park (see above re birthdays...).

Perfect take out/delivery spot for our family! Everyone gets what they want. Great wings, pizza, salads, tacos, sides...always a hit. Also a community-minded spot with back-to-school specials, great menus for parties, etc. Our family orders at least twice a month Chiquita's never disappoints!!

Simple and clean atmosphere, lots of options, delicious food and welcoming staff, a real treasure!

I have ordered from Chiquita's dozens upon dozens of times and every time every single item has been not just good but great. The experience also has always been great and I have never had an issue during the ordering process and could always understand everyone taking the order just fine . As for the food I have been ordering from here for years so this isn't a comprehensive list but some of my regular orders all of which I can attest are great: Tinga shrimp burrito or tacos, Garlic parm tenders ( they are Garlic forward as the name suggests so if you don't like garlic don't order this), anything Birria most especially the Birria Cheesesteak which is down right addictive ( I struggle to switch things up and not to order it every time we order from here), cactus fries, philly steak pizza, old bay tots and their milkshakes.

great local spot especially if you are looking for something different! The pizzas are awesome and if you need a hoagie tray or any small catering, highly recommend. The staff is so nice too! Support a local small business!

Incredible food. Delicious and the staff is amazing. One of the best Mexican restaurants in South Philly.

BEST mexican pizza in Philly and such good service. The owners are so friendly and add a great palette to south Philly

First time ordering (takeout) from here. This business has made a forever friend. This is insane(ly huge and delicious)!

Great Pizza, nice people, good prices. We only got take out but the lady on the phone was very nice and very helpful, and when my husband went to pick it up he left part of the order there. One of the workers ran after him with a bag of food. They didn't have to do that, and it was lovely of them to do so

Order from here regularly, food is always good and arrives quickly. Particularly like the flautas and the steak nachos. Burrito is good too. And the fried plantains and Nutella are amazing.

I love this place I come here all the time and they are phenomenal! There was a rather disturbing comment left below which saddens me. Aubrey C (a comment a few below) wrote hateful things about the people who work here. It is disturbing and not an accurate representation of the wonderful service and food this place offers. Please don't listen to her, she doesn't know the difference between there. they're ,and their, and therefore is not a credible source of information

Ordered Chiquitas via DoorDash and the food was delicious. Got the loaded nachos, mozzarella sticks and my favorite, Mexican coke. The food came hot and packaged well for delivery and were very generous portions. No complaints at all, just absolutely tasty and so sad I moved out of Philly that I can't order from there again.

Food is amazing and delivery is always super fast! Friendly staff who can help in English or Spanish, what more could you need!

I've ordered from Chiquitas numerous times and they've been able to accommodate my food allergies (avocado) and intolerances (gluten, eggs) with ease. They tell me what is safe for me to eat, what can be modified to be safe, and what will not be safe. I appreciate a business that is honest about their ability to accommodate my needs, and I've never gotten sick from their delicious food. My family members who don't have food restrictions also love it!

Food is amazing from pizzas, wings, burritos and don't miss the nachos. Owner is very friendly and staff is accommodating. Never had an issue. Great neighbourhood spot that I have gone to for years and will continue to do so.

Such a fantastic business. It's a family owned business (very sweet people)and everything on the menu is delicious. We order at least once a week and have never had a bad thing ever.

Legit pizza. So good. Never knew I needed salsa on pizza. It's so good. This review is for chiquitas

I placed my order for pickup through its website. Very user friendly. The menu is extensive: pizza, Stromboli, breakfast, milkshake, smoothies. When I arrived about half hour later, my food was ready. Staff is friendly. Tacos al pastor is delicious. I can taste the spice of the seasoning which is very down distinct. It has some pineapple and small pieces of nopales aka cactus. Meat is a little bit overcooked but generous in portion. It also comes with some carrot sticks, jalapeño, and small onion. Overall it's a pretty good tacos

Get the wings, you won't regret it! Portions are large and tasty. The nachos and plantains are my favorite.

As others have mentioned, get the Al Pastor pizza! It's delicious and so flavorful. Tip - I'd recommend picking up you pizza versus delivery. If there is a delay in delivery and it takes a while to get to you, the quality of the pizza decreases a bit.

As for the pizza side of the restaurant, I've ordered some alright food in the past. Good portions and super cheesy meals. But recently, I ordered a burrito and the birria tacos and while the portions were awesome, the quality was overshadowed by sheer mass. Not too much in terms of good flavor, but the ingredients are obviously alright and the amount is definitely a deal. Burrito was falling apart though, and the flavors were dull, even in the hot sauces they provided. Consume on the side of the tacos was oniony for sipping and dipping, though. Would love to try the mexican pizzas, but the burrito wasn't the one.

Lil' hole-in-the-wall but never misses. I order their take out like... often. Way more often than I'd like to admit. The burritos are a hit but the Al pastor pizza (w/ extra pineapple and extra green sauce) keep me coming back. Also their grilled wings?! Fall off the bone, incredibly flavored, like wood fired or something. Highly recommend for low cost/high reward takeout.

Was craving the pizza and wings so we went back and I have to say the quality hasn't changed since ur last visit. The grilled honey sriracha wings were even better this time around and despite all the issues with chicken, the quality hasn't changed We also got an xtra large la guera pizza with chorizo. The corn and chorizo is an amazing combo and if you are a garlic lover this is the pizza for you. My car still smells like this delicious pizza the next day. The menu is huge but honestly I think this is going to be my go to order from now on

In my wife's Bridget Browns words: This place beats any pizza and Mexican food joint we've EVER had, hands down!!!!! We came by recommendation from the JLJupiter restaurant review from Northern, VA! We thought JLJupiter and friend may have been over emphasizing the goodness they experienced with the Mmmmm.. so good...game changer comments......BUT oh HOW THEY WERE SOOO RIGHT!!!!! This food is incredible!!! My only regrets are that I couldn't try EVERYTHING ON THE MENU AND THAT THEY ARE NOT IN MY AREA! Your food has so much appeal, just from the appearance, but then the flavor and taste will excite your pallet!! We will be back in Philly many times over and will look to try even more of your menu!!! You all have something that's RARE and VERY SPECIAL!!! Thank you for the amazing experience!!! It's no wonder you hold a 5 Star rating on Yelp! Keep up the beautiful work and FANTASTIC SERVICE YOU PROVIDE!!
