Reviews for Chantico Mexican Restaurant Phoenix in Phoenix, AZ

Chantico is an Arizona rustic looking restaurant. This place is amazing with a modernized Mexican cuisine. I do recommend making... a reservation before coming in, specially if you're going to have a big group. This place gets full quickly, specially on theweekends. I have eaten here a few times, on one occasion i brought my in laws along with a couple of friends. We reserved theprivate room, theres a glass wall and wine bottles racks, a very nice intimate experience. I would definitely recommendrequesting this room for a special occasion. We ordered a lot of different dishes. The breakfast birria tacos seemed to lackflavor, they didn't taste bad but I was expecting to love them, I wouldn't recommend ordering this. Also the blue corn pancakeswere not my favorite. In all fairness I personally dont like almond flour pastries, I'm not a fan of the texture at all. Last,the churros seemed pretty plain, nothing exciting. I ordered the "Mesquite Grilled Achiote Chicken" and to be honest I wassurprised to receive a half of chicken! The menu didn't specify but I assumed it was chicken breast, it's not lol thepresentation itself is really nice and the chicken was full of flavor, it was very delicious! Read more

Ever been to Oaxaca? The place where those that have traveled the world say is where the best food in the entire world is... harbored? Well, I hope to make it there one day myself, but until then…I’ll stick with Chantico! This place at least givesyou a taste of that beautiful area in southern Mexico, with their clean, local, organic, flavorful, colorful, DELICIOUS food!And if you are into tequila and rum, have fun picking one out! You’ll be contemplating for awhile for their selection is quitevast. After an exquisite meal, you will walk out feeling satisfied and happy (not uncomfortable with that yucky proverbial foodbaby that leaves you hating life for the rest of the night.) Nope, at Chantico you can eat with no regrets. The menu isextensive, creative and affordable. Everything is a party for your taste buds, so you can’t go wrong. Their Latin music is onpoint that will have you jiving where you sit! (Until they get a dance floor - hint, hint ????) This is an entire experience youwon’t want to miss out on! Read more

Really good Mexican food! Not authentic but, it’s still delicious. I had the Organic Squash Chimichanga. It was very... delicious and had the perfect amount of seasoning. The chips and salsa were a nice touch as well. Also, I like that theyincluded vegan/vegetarian options and plant based ingredients for some of their dishes. The atmosphere was calm and mellow but,it was very humid in there. Could have just been the weather at the moment. The only problem I had was with the wait staff. Ourwaiter, Cesar, was very nice and did an amazing job but, he seemed to have had too much on his plate. I had asked for anotherdiet coke and never received it. I wasn’t charged so it was all good and I understand that sometimes mistakes happen in busytimes. A few other waiters/bus boys seemed to have no enthusiasm. I’m not too bothered by things like that but, I can see howthat can really change how people view the atmosphere. However, our experience here was great! I really recommend it for thosewho are craving delicious Tex-Mex food! Read more

Our first time here and we LOVED the atmosphere. The customer service was great, hence the 3 stars. However I knocked 2 stars... because we saw a rat running and hiding inside the place from the kitchen. I know rats are a common problem in city areas but Ilive in the city and haven’t encountered many indoors :( The salsa and beans were really good but the enchiladas tasted a biton the salty side, not too bad though. Overall, great atmosphere, great Jamaica, good food, great employees! The rat made melose my appetite though unfortunately. Read more

We had dinner at Chantico after a long day of work. The food and atmosphere did not disappoint. Dominic was a fantastic server... and took great care of us, provided recommendations and opinions, was prompt, knowledgeable and very friendly. The HalibutCoconut Ceviche was fantastic. They have numerous vegan and gluten free options. Parking was a little tight but make sure toreserve a table. Read more

When girls night collided with decadent food This place has been on list for a few weeks now and everyone’s schedules... magically aligned so we knew we had to make it happen. Let’s start first with the cocktails I love that they serve sangriaand make a little heart shaped straw. I mean how seriously cute is that I feel really bad I can’t recall the name of thedrink with mint but it was a fan favorite. Bird of a feather flock together and I guess that’s why all 3 of us orderedbrisket enchiladas. We ordered with sauce on the side and let me tell you it was the best decision we ever made The sauce wasdelicious but the flavor coming through in these brisket enchiladas didn’t need any sauce to hold it up. Each bite wasjuicy We ended the night with cornbread doughnuts at least that’s how I I viewed them They are thick and yummy I lookforward to watching this place continue to grow Read more

This place was definitely a gem!! The entryway is in the back with additional parking along with side road parking. This... restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. The food was deliciously perfect and the service was phenomenal. JC is a managerthere and was the first to seat us and get us everything we needed before we even knew he was the manager. Then our waiter Nategot us everything in a timely manor and made us feel homey. All of the staff was super welcoming especially these two (Nate andJC). Definitely recommend stopping here to eat or just get a drink and hang out. You will not be disappointed, I guarantee!Thanks again for your food and great service, will be back! Read more
