The "delicious tapas" and "friendly, knowledgeable staff" enhance the experience, with standout dishes like "patatas bravas" and "croquettes" earning praise.

    First time at Chica while visiting Toronto. With so many dining options, Chica is a must. The staff were welcoming, cocktails were delicious and the food was fresh and flavourful. Strongly suggest making reservations.

    Big thank you to Mark for making our experience here so lovely. Firstly, the cocktails were amazing- def recommend the Pina Clarita and Mucho Gusto. We were pleasantly surprised by the tapas dishes being so creative. Kudos to the genius kitchen staff that turned classics we’ve had several times unique and inventive. They managed to change my mind on everything I thought I didn’t like, everything we had was delicious. All our plates came out fast. Never thought I would ever say this since patatas bravas “is just potatoes”but I def recommend the creative way they make them. Scallop Civiche was phenomenal. Duck liver TART? are you kidding me.. genius.

    My sister and I went to Chica for a night out and after my reservation, I am now physically incapable of stfu about how much I love this restaurant (everyone around me is sick of hearing me talk about this place). Their service is beyond outstanding. I sat at the bar and the bartenders (Marc and Bryan) that took care of me were some of the sweetest and kindest people I’ve ever met in the industry. Their drinks were exceptionally delicious and you could really see their skill and expertise in how they made every cocktail. But don’t even get me started on the food. Absolutely mouthwatering. You can really see their skill amount of care the chefs (Chef Mike) put into every aspect of the dishes they serve. Chica completely raised the bar for me when it comes to hospitality and food. I genuinely don’t understand how this place isn’t constantly booked out. If you haven’t been, I feel bad for you. I could not give them more praise.

    Food was good, service was good, just difficult to hear my friend across the table; I had to use my stage-voice (from theatre) to be heard.

    This used to be a go to spot. Now with the new changes not sure what happened. The food is now extremely mid borderline bad. Very disappointing. The service and people are amazing but the food is very very not worth it

    We have had a horrible experience here. Not sure where they get their good reviews from. But please stay away from this place.

    What an amazing place to escape to on a cold winters night. You are transported into a Spanish blend of flavours, music and decor. The bikini sandwich paired with the croquettes are definitely a must and will offer you a knockout punch of flavour. Great place for a 1st, 2nd and 23rd date.

    Juan was friendly and gave good recommendations. It’s not a big menu which usually indicates they’re good at what they do. That surely checks out!

    Thank you for the great review! We're so glad Juan took good care of you and that our focused menu delivered on quality. We appreciate your support and can't wait to have you back for another delicious experience! MK- Team Chica
