Whose popularity started with the best fajitas in the Keys, since 1984 Chico's has grown into a Zagat-rated full scale Mexican restaurant that ranks as one of the best among locals. For 12 years now, Chico's has won people's choice awards for best Mexican food in Key West.
Located on Stock Island at mile marker 4.5, just over the bridge from Key West, Chico's offers the finest fajitas, chicken, beef, shrimp and vegetarian food. Chico's serves regional, mexican specialties not likely to be found in other restaurants. Chico's also specializes in serving the finest freshest local seafood, soups and specials prepared in a variety of Mexican styles.
Staff is fast, efficient and fun. Have you ever been to a Mexican eatery without a party atmosphere? If you have, you went to the wrong place.
Alright, here's the skinny. Signature entrees include the delicious fajitas, Baja Fresh-Catch Fish Tacos, (Poblano) Chile Rellenos and Carne Asada, thin slices of sirloin sauteed with onions, cilantro and lime, with potato quesadilla and rice.
But, you won't be unhappy with any of the other choices, among the many: flautas, seafood enchiladas and fish abodabo grilled in corn husks. How's that for traditional?
