I’ve been coming to Chico’s Restaurant since I was a kid, and it’s wonderful to see that the food is still as good as I remember. One of my all-time favorites is their Rabo Encendido, which they prepare exceptionally well. This visit, I decided to mix things up and ordered the Bistec Empanizado with fries and moro rice—it was very good! Of course, no meal is complete without a Mamey shake, which I always enjoy here. The service is also top-notch, making Chico’s a true staple for Cuban cuisine in Hialeah. If you’re looking for authentic Cuban food, this place is a must-visit!

Friday and Saturday night open 24 hours so after partying and drinks this hits the spot. We had “the dandy” what a meal for the price not on the menu so ask for it. Great food.

This Cuban restaurant hits different. Food is fresh, hot, and tasty. The tostones were crunchy exactly how we asked. Pro tip: get the croquetas inside from the appetizer menu, instead of the croquetas from the pick up window. Customer service 10/10. Don’t sleep on the cafecito to wrap it up. Best Cuban restaurant in Hialeah, period!

I absolutely love Chico's you cannot get enough of the great quality food they have here. The only thing is is that every time I seem to come here the prices just keep going higher and higher which is so sad as I love the food here. Besides that the service is great everyday is always good

It's a tradition in our family to visit this amazing place first thing on our trips to Florida. In the years we have been coming we have never been disappointed. Great Cuban food (as I should know since I'm Cuban) and friendly staff paired with cheap deals. Definitely recommend. Don't leave Florida without stopping by here first!
