Good

Went there for dinner and was delighted to have a few vegan choices. The fajita was nice, and plenty. I couldn't finish it, so I didn't mind that there was so much onion (that's what I left behind). Friendly staff. A (non-veg) friend who had a vegan burger was very happy with it too.

Easy lunch in city centre

I was pleasantly surprised with the vegan menu from chiquito. You ask for the vegan menu and there is a good choice of starters, mains, and desserts.
I went at lunchtime with an omni friend who had the lunchtime menu - 2 courses for £11 etc - and was a bit frustrated to see that there was vegan option for starter and dessert as part of this menu, but not a main. However after speaking with the wait staff they said there should be a vegan option as main and it was agreed that I could have the vegarito(vegan burrito) as part of the lunch special.

Garlic tostada was amazing and a giant portion - great sharer even though it was for one person. And the churros were gorgeous!
Vegarito main was really tasty and although I did enjoy it, I wasn't expecting a vegan meat inside of the burrito, just beans and rice as that was what I saw specified on the menu. The soy meat was lovely though and had a great flavour.

Pros: Specific vegan menu
