Top Mexican food for £5! That's what I'm gonna taco bout in this blog. (sincere apologies for that) What if I told you that you could spice up your lunch time munch for only five pounds! Well that's exactly what Chiquitos Belfast are offering - a wide range of mexican delights which won't hurt the bank balance!
I was lucky enough - along with a host of other NI Bloggers to be invited to a VIP lunch at Chiquitos to showcase their new lunch menu - mexican delights such as burritos, enchiladas and chilli were available - but Chiquitos aren't only targeting mexican fans, they are pleasing the masses by including their classic burger among other favourites in this fantastic offer!
Viva La Food
So I was allowed to bring a table of four so I decided that mum deserved a wee trip, Aunty Shelly was off work & Wee Dan joined us in our Mexican Adventure - here's a quick look at what we had!
We decided that as lunch was complimentary we would order some starters to try - just to help our economy - not through greed - I promise!
Starters consisted of Nachos, Southern Fried Chicken with the most amazing smoked BBQ sauce and Mexican Garlic Bread! I am a massive fan of starters, sometimes I just order 3-4 starters instead of a main! LOVE IT!!! P.S. there were other starters including Cantina Mushrooms which sounded beautiful.
On to the Mains
So here is where the fun started! I went for the Pulled Pork Burrito, Wee Dan opted for the Vegetarian 5 bean chilli which for me was the pick of the bunch, it was absolutely superb - the wee chunks of sweet potato were a little delight, ma Hogan went for Enchiladas thinking they were Quesidillas but she really enjoyed them and Shelly - being Shelly and afraid of anything new went for the Classic Burger! This is the same girl who asked for a super well done steak! (super sad emoji)
What struck me most was the amount of food you got for a fiver - massive portions that will definitely keep you fuelled until dinner time!
A Greater Cause
I would like to that Chiquitos for the fantastic offer and I would like to praise them as this VIP lunch was hosted not only to promote their new Lunch Time £5 Menu but to raise awareness and funds for Children with Cancer UK - to raise funds they had a fun Piñata (see below) a raffle and some other wee charity ideas - Well done for helping such a worthy cause!
The Piñata
Hitting the Piñata was great fun! And I am very pleased to announce that fellow Food Blogger Michael (The Bowtie Blogger - check him out) defeated it and won a 3 course meal for two and I am very upset that he has chosen to take his wife to this rather than me! Booooo Michael. lol
So if you work in Belfast why not choose Chiquitos for your next lunch - A short walk to a Mexican retreat, super food in super quick time and for only £5 - they also offer a superb selection of alcoholic treats including tequila and cocktails however I don't recommend trying these if you have to go back to work...unless it's a Friday!
