    Wonderful place downtown Toronto. The food and drinks were spectacular. The noise was the only thing annoying. The music was too loud. Either than that, I would 100% go back and bring friends. The service was super!

    Lovely experience at Chica. Every tapa was expertly prepared and beautifully presented. Favorites of the evening were the tartare, scallops, and squid pasta. They have outstanding cocktails and a great sherry list. We ended the evening with a trio of desserts and while all were delightful the rich chocolate cake was outstanding. Service was excellent, highly recommend.

    Food had nice flavor but the portion was not justifiable for the price. Sure it isn’t meant to be a full meal size plate, but if you are charging that much for all of your dishes, the food better have incredible flavor (it was good, but nothing incredible). For instance, tuna crudo had barely any actual fish on the plate. It was 4-5 tiny and thin pieces, covered under fancy plating. Cocktails and service were good.

    Our group of 5 had a wonderful dining experience at Chica this weekend! Our server Julien was very helpful in suggesting the perfect amount of plates for us to share, including a few dietary restrictions and recommended a great non-alcoholic cocktail. The service was great, the food and drinks were delicious and the overall vibe was exactly what we were hoping for - lively, warm & inviting!

    Went for bottomless brunch and every nicer item was 'sold out' - we were left with just some cheeses, sandwiches, and a few other bits. Nothing that we wanted to try was available. Defeats the purpose of going to a bottomless brunch if half of the menu isn't available. Not worth the price. Having said that, the one pancake dish was amazing and the sangria was great.

    Overall great experience. The service was really good. We came for mother's Day brunch and it was bottomless tapas. The first round tapas were really great. Fresh and great portions. We got a second round of fewer tapas of the ones we liked and they looked kind of sad and smaller portions. I know they were super swamped and really busy. When I looked over at the open kitchen I saw the cooks there that looked like they were annoyed and unenthused. I understand they were tired but I wasn't expecting poorer quality ordering the second round. I mean afterall, it's bottomless tapas. Don't get me wrong, the food was good and the service as well but just wasn't expecting what I mentioned earlier.

    Overall the tapas was decent. The sauce is overpowering the core food itself if they can just balance it more. Service was excellent. Just an FYI if they can calculate the TIP % to the total amount BEFORE the government taxes since why would a customer pay a tip on the government tax so it should be on the restaurant bill not including that tax.

    Service was excellent. They curated our orders so everyone of us can get a piece (group of 5). Our favourites are the bikini and croquetas. The patatas bravas are salty for our taste. It’s packed for a Wednesday night and the music is just odd for a Spanish restaurant but it was not bad.

    Food was poor… overly greasy and oily. The Serrano ham was great as were the olives. Can’t say anything positive about the rest of the items. Dinner for 2 was $200 and we left food on the plate because we couldn’t eat it. Left hungry. Overall… lunch bag let down. I would not recommend to anyone.

    As always, a good place to have a quick bite and drink. The entire staff is friendly, fun and professional. Would highly recommend to check this spot out and even make it your ocassional spot. Start with some Oysters ( if on a date), definitely have croquetas, but overall you can't make a wrong pick with the food. Keep in mind that the portions are small because it's a Spanish Tapas inspired venue.

    I loved the menu, it was creative, flavourful and well executed. The staff were friendly, the subtle way they promoted their menu was noteworthy. The drinks stole the show, they were beautiful, all of them were different from eachother. Absolutely loved my experience there. If they manage to uphold the standard, I’d go there forever!

    Great food and service. This is small restaurant that serves Spanish tapas and has a good selection of Spanish wines. It is a great place for a small group of friends. I have been twice to this restaurant and the service has been friendly and helpful.
