Chico Cantina is a fantastic spot that never disappoints! They serve the best nachos I’ve ever had, and their tacos are simply delicious. I also highly recommend trying the calamari and mussels.What truly makes the experience special is the friendly and welcoming staff. They make you feel right at home.The margaritas are also a highlight, adding the perfect touch to a great meal. I will definitely keep coming back!

A lot of people complain about the portion sizes . It is tapas style . You will have smaller plates and you will end up spending more if you want to get the full experience . The taquitos , wings and spicy wrap have all been delightful . I frequent here for their happy hour taquito’s . The staff is the most friendly staff I’ve interacted with in so long . I’m also a bartender and enjoy the bar team they have . Chasity and Danny are an awesome team 🫶

Enjoyed the service! I tried the happy hour and dinner and both were enjoyable. There was a live DJ at dinner and the happy hour menu was pretty decent. Both times the drinks were on point! The chicken taquito and empanada on the happy hour menu is great and the croissant bread pudding and lamb taco were perfect! Definitely would recommend. Maria the manager was very friendly and Chasity was a great bar tender. It’s nice to have this option in the Brookhaven area ❤️

Very lively, good vibe. However NO FROZEN MARGARITAS…..WHAT?! Chicken soup was OK, but the broth did not have much depth of flavor and tasted more of commercial bouillon cubes. The “croutons” were just soggy little sponges, not pleasant to eat, and there was not much actual chicken. The tacos turned out to be open-faced (not described as such on menu) and were so soggy they fell apart on the plate, and thus difficult to eat, even with knife and fork. Overall, probably a good watering hole for the younger crowd, but the food is not up to par.

Have had multiple positive experiences here both solo and with friends. The ambiance and service has been delightful, combined with a delicious selection of drinks and food. I prefer the frozen drinks anywhere I go, and this place does them perfectly (margaritas might seem like an obvious choice, but the frosé is also great). Also, I’ve only managed to arrive in time for the “$5 happy hour” once, but it was a lot of fun to be able to sample multiple of the appetizers at once without breaking the bank - so I’d highly recommend.
GREAT food great drinks nice vibe Maria was amazing the manager as far as checking on things and making sure it was on point happy hour great pricing ! $5 for everything will definitely come again ! Drink are strong as well also my server David was amazingggg

Extremely disappointing experience…
I hate to say this, because I genuinely love Chef Mimmo, & his Botica location has never disappointed me — but my experience at this location was far from enjoyable.
I brought a friend visiting from out of town for a quick late lunch, thinking this would be a fun, casual spot. I usually go to the Botica location for tacos & great service — but this location was closer today.
When we arrived, there were only two bartenders and just two other customers at the bar.
While our bartender greeted us and took our drink orders quickly, we weren’t offered water, which is standard bar etiquette. Both bartenders seemed distracted by a man showing them content on his phone.
After returning from the restroom, I asked for water, and shortly after, our drinks & food arrived — but our tacos were served cold.
While eating, we witnessed the male bartender & the other customer openly discussing and showing sexually explicit videos of women in a derogatory, objectifying way — right in plain view.
Even more disturbing, it was clear from their conversation and the content they were sharing that these women were being treated like commodities, as if they were being trafficked for profit.
This behavior was appalling and completely inappropriate. My friend, who is usually VERY generous with tips, said he was over it and wanted to leave immediately.
Overall, this experience fell far below the standard I’ve come to expect from Botica. I had hoped to share a casual, fun experience with a visiting friend, but this location did not reflect the same level of service, professionalism, or atmosphere.
