    Food was good, service was good, just difficult to hear my friend across the table; I had to use my stage-voice (from theatre) to be heard.

    This used to be a go to spot. Now with the new changes not sure what happened. The food is now extremely mid borderline bad. Very disappointing. The service and people are amazing but the food is very very not worth it

    We have had a horrible experience here. Not sure where they get their good reviews from. But please stay away from this place.

    What an amazing place to escape to on a cold winters night. You are transported into a Spanish blend of flavours, music and decor. The bikini sandwich paired with the croquettes are definitely a must and will offer you a knockout punch of flavour. Great place for a 1st, 2nd and 23rd date.

    Juan was friendly and gave good recommendations. It’s not a big menu which usually indicates they’re good at what they do. That surely checks out!

    Thank you for the great review! We're so glad Juan took good care of you and that our focused menu delivered on quality. We appreciate your support and can't wait to have you back for another delicious experience! MK- Team Chica

    This is the first time I’ve been in any Michelin noted spot where we were literallly asked to be aware we had to depart in 15-20 minutes to make space for the next seating. Completely ruined the experience.
    ChicaResponded on February 26, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry that this impacted your experience, as that’s never our intention. We do have an allotted seating time of 1.5 hours to accommodate all of our guests, but we always try our best to be flexible when possible. In this case, you were seated at 18:57 and stayed until 21:30; an extra hour beyond the allotted time. With our small space and limited seating, it can be challenging to stray too far from our designated seating times, but we do our best to configure and adjust whenever we can. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. MK- Team Chica

    The atmosphere is relaxed and stylish. The stuff was extremely friendly and gave us professional advice for choosing tapas and cocktails. The taste of the tapas is like a tapas bar in Spain. I recommend this location if you like good and authentic food.

    Food was delicious however pricing seemed bit high for it. Also, wine prices seemed a bit expensive for a 9oz pour.
    ChicaResponded on February 26, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food. We understand that pricing can be a consideration, and we always strive to offer a quality experience. For a more affordable option, we have our 777 happy hour on Sundays from 5pm-7pm, where we offer great food and drink choices at a better price point. We hope this helps, and we’d love to welcome you back soon to enjoy more of what we have to offer! MK- Team Chica
