... likely to be on the Riverside centre (will be unit 14 where ever that sits).

 

[PeterD]

do you have a source at all?

0o0o0o0o0o Now that I do hope happens, rather than the over priced KFC that is Nandos

I posted the license application notices around the area Friday 5th September. It's planned for the first unit on the right as you go down the footpath from Bridge Street.

Ooh, I hope this happens.

Few things in this world would make @Goldilox as happy as a Chiquitos in town.

Chiquito Bar and Mexican resturant coming to Stafford...

could not agree more.. no idea what the obsession with nandos is - it's just a middle class KFC.. and not even a good one..

i'd love a decent mexican

 

[Frontal]

As a lover of mexican food I welcome it, but I have seen two mexican food places close in Stafford over the years, so I honestly do not think it will last long.

alas, that was my thoughts exactly..

I do hope we are able to attract some more restaurants to the town as I do think we desperately lack culinary variety in Stafford.

Just had a quick browse of the menu, all pretty generic and prices not that keen. Don't get me wrong, I'll still give it a go, but nothing is jumping out at me that I really want to try*. Its no shock the Indian restaurants thrive when they do a starter/main/rice for cheaper than a double burger here.


* I am ill though, and having just ate some soup realised I can't taste anything which may account for that!

Talking of Mexican - just noticed that Brewers Fayre (Redhill) do a "Chefs Counter" (all you can eat) Mexican on Monday nights....

Anyone ever been?

Never seen that. TBH I don't rate redhill very highly at all but sometimes when the weather is crap and you've got kids to entertain....

EDIT: A lot of vegan offerings there (sides anyway), and a very informative menu when you click something for more info.

Yes. Me. It was vile. Only go if you like food with the taste & consistency of glue.

Oh no, don't say that littleme.... I LOVE mexican food so the opportunity of "AYCE" on it was amazing... now i'm sad

Ideally placed next to the Golden Orient then!

I used to go, and I second Littleme's response....hardly any taste to it and very generic. I guess it may take on some appeal after a skin full of ale

Chiquito's menu is pretty decent, though the drinks are on the expensive side.

The Burrito Burger is a particular fav of mine

Sozzard, didn't mean to make you sad.
If its any consolation we went when it first started doing them, so it may well of got better since...

Also, I like my Mexican on the hot hot hot side & it was VERY bland - you'll just have to wait for Chiquitos

 

[Jonah]

Chiquitos are expensive from what I've seen on their website.

£10.45 for a burger.

You tried the inferno hot wings at the hungry horse? Not bad for a chain pub, pretty warm. Shame its just sauce chucked on wings though, be better if they were properly marinated overnight.
