Best Mexican restaurant in town, hands down. Chico's has amazing food with tons of options- including vegetarian. The restaurant is owned by a sweet family who makes you feel right at home. Doesn't get better than that.

One word flavor. This place is the newest and best Mexican restaurant to eat at in Stillwater. If you want to enjoy every thing you order down to the last bite eat here. Queso, guacamole salsa from scratch, juicy flavorful fajitas, creamy refined beans that smack you so hard you can't believe your eating refried beans. Fried banana dessert omg. Chile Rellenos, tacos you name it it's all excellent. Authentic and sweet family owned place. They treat you right and deliver high above expectations! Just come try it for yourself.

The food & service was really good. It's worth the drive. A little small but otherwise a great place to eat.

Great Mexican food and family atmosphere. Prices are great!! Love their chicken fajitas,, black beans,, street tacos,, and guacamole. The restaurant itself is a little run-down (old building) but clean. I highly recommend this for authentic Mexican food! Similar to El Tapatio or Palominos.

The best Mexican restaurant in Stillwater hands down. Their salsa is so flavorful- the best I have ever had. 5 stars across the board- food, service, etc. The portions are large, and the Margaritas are amazing! If you are looking for an Authentic Mexican Restaurant, this is the place to go.

This is the second time my wife and I have visited Chico’s (Valentines Day) and we will continue to return time and time again. Even with the insane traffic and how busy they were, they sat us quickly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with soft lighting that created a perfect setting for a relaxing meal. If you're looking for a truly authentic Mexican dining experience, look no further.The flavors were spot-on. Eduardo was amazing, and went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Recommend this to everyone and a must try for anyone visiting.
