Restaurante Chichos

Restaurante Chichos is an absolute gem and easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely cares about making sure you have a great experience, which really adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal. The food is where Chichos truly shines. Everything tastes fresh, authentic, and made with care, but the chilaquiles deserve a special mention because they were outstanding. The tortillas were perfectly prepared soft yet still holding their texture—and the sauce was rich, flavorful, and not overpowering. What really took the dish to the next level was the meat it was incredibly tender, juicy, and expertly seasoned. You can tell the kitchen puts a lot of thought into balancing flavors, because every bite was satisfying and full of depth. Portion sizes were generous without feeling excessive, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every dish. This is the kind of place where you can tell the recipes are rooted in tradition, but executed with consistency and pride. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or a relaxed meal with family or friends, Restaurante Chichos delivers comfort food that feels both hearty and special. Overall, Restaurante Chichos exceeded my expectations in every way. Amazing food, great service, and a welcoming environment make this a place I will definitely be returning to again and again. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food done right especially chilaquiles with perfectly tender, well-seasoned meat this place is a must try. Highly recommended!

Be careful when eating at this restaurant. This was our first and last time. We arrived for breakfast today around 11 a.m. Security informed us that we couldn’t park in the lot next door and needed to drive to the back, where Chicos has its own valet. My daughters and I got out while my husband drove around to park. The food and service were good—no complaints there. Afterward, we ran several errands all over Tijuana throughout the day. Our final stop for the day was a coffee shop, where my daughter received a notification that an AirTag was tracking her. We searched the car and found an AirTag hidden in the trunk. When we looked it up, it showed activity starting at 11:18 a.m.—right when we were at the restaurant. This is the only place we visited that had valet. We drove in from San Diego. I have no idea why this was done, but I’m sure you can imagine everything that went through our minds. We have been coming to Tijuana for years and have never had any issues.

Hadn't been there in a while, but I'm happy to report the food and the service is still great! Went early in the morning and had the poblano omelette and freshly squeezed orange juice, that was a great choice. My girlfriend had the cazuela española with chorizo español, eggs, beans and chilaquiles and she loved it! She also had a chai lavender coffee that was delicios. The service is first rate. Will definitely return for more.

I recently visited this restaurant and while the food presentation was appealing, there were several aspects that could be improved. First, the wait time was quite long, which made the experience a bit frustrating. The atmosphere was also very loud, making it difficult to enjoy a conversation. As for the food, while the orange juice, coffee, meat, homemade tortillas and beans were fantastic, the chilaquiles were a disappointment. They were over-fried, which gave them a burnt taste that was hard to overlook. I did not end up eating my plate. The service was okay, not bad but nothing exceptional. Overall, there were some hits and misses, but the food and atmosphere could use some refinement Also, a bit over priced. They charge extra for everything. For 2 breakfast dishes a coffee and orange juice almost $50.

Everything we ordered was delicious. Chilaquiles green and red. The rachera in the chilaquiles was tender and juice. Their juices are very good. The omelet with green chile was very good. The corn and flour tortillas are fresh and made there. We were there on a Saturday, and our estimated wait time was 45 minutes, but we only waited for about 20 minutes. They offer vallet parking. We tried the conchas, they were a little dry for our like.

Went for lunch. Tiny menu, overpriced drinks and small portions. Fantastic customer service. Food was tasty, just they give small portions for the price. Went and got tacos after. They brought salsa to the table but no chips.

Food was absolutely the best! Enormous portions and extremely tasty! I would definitely go back— again and again!!

Great food, horrible service manager had to help waiter. Once management was aware of the lack of service the waiter tried to be more attentive. We were finished by that time so there was no coming back. His tip reflected his poor service.

Delicious Breakfast!! They Accept cash and card! (Came in May, some parts of the restaurant are currently under renovations but still plenty of seating) Parking- there is free parking inside the plaza and there is an entrance in the middle to extra parking in the back. Ambiance- Everyone was very friendly and welcoming along with there being a mix of tourist and locals! The have plenty of seating including tables large enough to accommodate a party of 8. They also have a 2nd floor seating. Food- Food was fresh and delicious! They were moderately busy but our food came out quick! They even provided a complimentary appetizer which was 3 slices of Melon with yogurt on top! Will definitely be coming back!

Muy buena la comida. si regresaría otra vez! llegamos a las 10am y separamos 10 minutes para una mesa de 8 en el fin de semana. :)

Service really fast and good kind people and the food is very delicious. the wait time was very short food came fast

The restaurant was great it was our first time and the service was great. The waiter was very attentive have great recommendations. The place was nice there's ample room for large parties. The food was great our recommendation were worth it and we will be coming again to try other items on the menu.

I love it! The food is fresh the vibe is great, love music however they take forever to bring your food and they are under staffed

Awesome place ! I'm so happy we found this place ! First of all good coffee free refills on American coffee! Sometimes in tijuana they don't have it We ordered the Pedro Infante special eggs perfectly cook (thing that sometimes is hard here ) I ordered the eggs with ribeye! Cooked prefect medium rare!! And the top of the cherry excellent service by Jessenia!! Definitely our New favorite place for breakfast! (That they serve all day )

Be careful with this place when it comes time to pay with a credit card. When it came time to pay my bill, the payment went through on my credit card. However, I was told by the restaurant that in their end it didn't go through. I showed them my credit card on my app showing the actual charge that went through but the young lady with the charge unit went to ask her manager and I still had to pay however, this time I paid with cash I did called my credit card company to let them know of the situation. 8 hours later there is another charge on my credit card by the same restaurant, I did get a hold of my credit card company again, I tried reaching out to the restaurant however, they did not answered . Again, make sure that you guys check your statements when paying by credit card at this SHADY establishment. Not going here again.

Service was great you just need to arrive early .The food was excelent i had the mission imposible. Cafe de olla ,and there berrys mimosa and the maracuya ,and the fruit and berry pancakes yummy prices were good and the servers were excelent especially Daniel highly recommend this place

Nos encanta este lugar! Es muy bueno y el servicio es fantástico. Lo recomiendo al 100 por 100!!

The food is delicious. They make their tortillas and artisonal bread from scratch as well as their pan dulce. You can definitely tell it's fresh. So many good options. The fresh juice and coffee is amazing. Great service, wait staff is friendly

Food is great! Chipotle Chilaquiles were so tasty, the tortilla chips were not soggy, exactly how you'd expect chilaquiles to taste. Full of flavor with the right amount of crunch. Staff is so friendly. Wait times were a little longer than had hoped, however we weak during peak hours. The inside looks like a cabin it's pretty cool looking didn't expect that.

Good Food Period! Great music & ambiance. Highly recommend this place. Attentive service staff. Just the right place for eating.

The servers here hustle! Live music on a Saturday morning during breakfast & it was great. The ambiance is very lively & it was a full restaurant. We got the birria which was okay (had a lot of fatty pieces) with fresh hand made tortillas and two cazuelitas españolas which came with refined beans and red Chilaquiles - delicious. Got two fresh conchas too. Not much street parking so we did valet in the back. Good place for traditional Mexican food & a long menu of options!

By far the best enchiladas suizas I've had, I was a little skeptical about this place at first but my whole family really enjoyed all we had to eat. Service, food and drinks were great 10/10 definitely will come back.

The food was on point parking was a pain but when we got there we were quickly seated and the complimentary plate delish. The poblano and cheese omelet was so good I wish I could finish it but the portions were so large the cafe de Olla was not the best but decent great ambiance with the live music performance.

Phenomenal. To start they offer valet parking. The inside ambiance is warm and cozy. They have traditional Mexican music playing. I thought it was the radio until I saw a man singing into a microphone behind the tables. I ordered the papaya plate and the beef/egg combination. The papaya was good but the combo was a homerun. The beef was a mini steak cooked to perfection and seasoned incredibly. It comes with cheese cooked tortilla chips, eggs, refried beans, two types of salsas, corn and flour tortillas. The service was attentive and fast and the bill was cheap ($14). One of the better dining experiences I have had in awhile .

The exterior has the air of a Trader Vic's. Inside is all wood and rather cozy. The Chicken Parmesan is good. They need to place more emphasis on wine---they have only two, and both are by LA Cetto. Some of the servers are good; others, less so. Note: The dining room closes at 6:30 pm., so no late nights.

Good food and good service, but they are always busy. They also have free valet, you just have to tip.

Don't like never will. The wait is ridiculous. Service is awful. Plates are too expensive for the quality of the food. And I found the place to be overall tacky.

This restaurant is always busy because the food is really good. They serve both regular coffee and café de olla. Make sure you try the latter; you won't regret it. They also have free valet parking, which is always a plus when trying to find a spot near Zona Rio and Downtown Tijuana. We tried the chilaquiles and the waffles and both were delicious. I highly recommend Chicho's for bruch.

It's very good I loved the food. The place is really clean and it's so cute. I loved the great service. There really nice people. You should visit here if you don't know what to eat

Stay away, bad food, bad service, and then when I wanted to pay, the credit card machine didn't work anymore??? This was a good place years ago, but the management just doesn't care anymore.

This is probably one of the worse restaurants that I've tried here in Tijuana. Usually the food is okay here, but yesterday they took about 40 minutes to get me my food. They took forever to bring me my bread (entry) and to finish it of my steak was cold and hard... I would like to add that the service is horrible too. I noticed that if you come with a group of people they'll pay more attention to you than if you came with only your wife, girlfriend, friend, boyfriend etc. Never coming back. There's so much more out there and better.
