Chiquito Discount Code

Dining out has long teetered between indulgence and inconvenience: too pricey, too loud, too inert, or too desperate to disguise a reheated Tuesday in clingfilm optimism. But sometimes, you just want nachos - the hot, molten signal that yes, you've given up on moderation for the evening, and you’re absolutely fine with that. Chiquito, an unabashedly fiesta-themed UK chain with a soft spot for molten cheese and slogans about salsa, is currently pushing its Easter season promotions, and they’re… not pointless.

The Unapologetic Generosity of "Unlimited Nachos"

Let’s start with what they’re clearly hoping is the main draw: the slightly audacious, 90-minute unlimited nachos offer. The terms are straightforward: order two mains, and you’re granted an hour and a half to consume as many tortilla chips slathered in cheese, sour cream, guacamole and other usual suspects as your cardiovascular system allows. Available now through April 30, the deal avoids fine print trickery - it’s basically what it sounds like. You could on paper share, but nobody will judge you if you don’t. The disclaimer seems to be "bring your own restraint."

Judging by previous incursions into bottomless food territory (pancakes, prosecco, regret), this will likely work best for tables willing to commit. Humans with smaller appetites or ambitions should be aware: this isn’t "a few free chips," it’s a cheese-drenched lifestyle decision. And yes, the chips are housemade. They’re pretty good. Crispy. Never revolutionary - but they get the job done.

Kinder to Wallets: Kids Eat Free Until Late April

Parents eyeing a budget-friendly Easter outing will probably appreciate the "Kids Eat Free" deal, running from March 31 through April 27. The offer includes a main, a side, drink and dessert per child, and it’s valid all day, every day. There is of course one stipulation: an adult has to order a main meal. So you're not walking in to score seven free desserts while sipping water. Still, if your child willingly eats quesadillas and doesn’t view guacamole as an act of betrayal, this could offer decent value.

No voucher code required, no hidden app download funnel - just routine meal logistics. Although it does rather cleverly ensure the adult pays for more than just moral support. That said, if your eight-year-old is going to demolish a churro tower while silently judging your decision to order the "Cheesy Garlic Tortilla," at least they’re doing it for free.

Easter Sugar and Discounted Cocktails: Availability Varies by Mood

From April 1 through April 30, Chiquito is also offering 2-for-1 desserts. It’s less headline-grabbing than unlimited nachos, but functional if you’re someone who can endure flan logistics with a partner. More appealing - potentially - are the 2-for-1 cocktails, available Monday to Friday, 5–7pm, or all day in Scotland (Monday to Thursday) if you shell out for a main. These are standard mid-tier, Instagram-ready drinks: think frozen margaritas, mojitos with theatrically bruised mint, and enough sweetness to briefly forget that you have to work tomorrow.

As drink deals go, it doesn’t try to oversell itself. Two-for-one is exactly as satisfying as your patience allows. Service speed will vary, and some locations may serve the "fiesta" with more conviction than others. The £6 price point in Scotland comes off as fairly sane. Just don’t expect handcrafted mezcal with a molecular lychee foam. This is still a theatre of the suburban casual dining variety. You’re here for the quantity, not the provenance.

Student Offers and Set Lunches: The Math Checks Out

Students can knock 25% off food and drinks with an NUS card, making this one of the more straightforward and honest student offers on the circuit. You’ll need to show ID, but otherwise there’s little hassle. It also makes a £7.50 lunch a bit more justifiable, even if you know you’ll be sitting in a booth vaguely stickier than average. For the non-student segment of humanity, there’s a lunch set menu from £9.70 for one course, or up to £14.70 if you’re trying to make it a three-act play. Mains include the competent Southern Fried Chicken Burger and more churros - which are, if not life-changing, at least warm and polite.

Allergy Notices, Refunds and Straws

To their credit, Chiquito does attempt sustainability without turning it into a TED Talk. All takeaway packaging is nearly plastic-free, all steaks are Irish and ethically sourced (you may or may not taste this), and they use renewable energy. If your burrito arrives lukewarm or your server disappears mid-guac, most locations can refund or compensate - not instantly, but without overt resistance. That alone puts them ahead of some rivals. Food arrives in a reasonable timeframe, and UK shipping, thankfully, is irrelevant (unless you’re trying to order churros to your house, which we cannot strictly endorse).

The Bottom Line (Or, Should You Book?)

Chiquito’s Easter deal line-up exists in that quietly comforting commercial space between value and spectacle. You won’t dine here for subtlety or sincerity, but the promotions don’t pretend otherwise. They deliver caloric volume, a sense of occasion, and enough fried dough to reassure stressed-out adults that they’re ‘out’ - even if they’re just twenty feet from the car park. You’ll eat better food, but you’ll probably spend more doing it, and with fewer free desserts.

Skeptical adults dragging unruly children? Book for the Kids Eat Free menu. Nacho maximalists trying to beat the spirit of Lent mid-April? The unlimited chips await. And if nothing else, you’ll walk away amused by how completely this place leans into the idea that life, however fleetingly, can be fixed with more guacamole.
