I'm afraid to say this is NOT a recommendation! Myself and my partner ate in chiquito's on saturday 7th march lunch time and both were taken very ill within an hour of eating! we both had severe stomach cramps and i even had to ring NHS Direct as we were so ill for advice! It seems we may have had food poisoning and its only at your Swansea restaurant we ate that day i'm afraid. MY meal was chicken skewers and I had to return my 1st meal as it came to the table cold to begin with! they did rectify the food and re-heated it for me but when i managed to remove some sauce i did notice small areas that were still red in colour! i just left my meal uneaten after discovering it but it seems i was too late i had obviously ingested some raw chicken while it was cold due to it being smothered in sauce i wouldn't have noticed! my partner ate ribs and chicken breast and was also ill but i was housebound for 2 days all day sat after the meal and Sunday i had to cancel my Sunday lunch appointment to recover as my tummy was still very sore and tender i could only drink water and NOT eat anything at all or i was omitting or tummy upset! by Monday i was better but my weekend was ruined! thank you chiquito for the raw meat thank you for making us both so ill it cost us nearly £40 to take home food poisoning and it wasn't even our faults! we have eaten there a couple of times before this date and always found the meals good and tasty but this time we are unsure whats gone wrong but there is definitely a problem with your cook! We wont bother to eat there again and indeed will avoid ALL companies that has any form of contact with chiquitos full stop! ITs appalling how we were treated even to the degree of the waiter asking me did i want a fresh meal or the old one heated up? is this how you run a business? Im disgusted and upset at the whole event and not even an apology from your head of staff for the cold meal? it was disorganized chaos there it was busy but thats no excuse for cold unhealthy meals to be served! I would formally like to thank your company for the whole weekend of my birthday being destroyed! We shall not bother you again or indeed we shall NEVER recommend you

I love going to chiquito! The music and atmosphere is lovely and the staff are very friendly. The food is delicious, although the amount they give seems to have gone down : ( This is the only bad point though. I only get filled up if I have all 3 courses. Go on a dinner time during weekdays - free refills and the cheaper menu!! Otherwise it gets expensive.
