Reviews for Chicanos Mexican Restaurant in Venice, FL

Walked in, floor greasy, dark and dingy, one other table occupied. Looked at menu and asked if they can bring chips and salsa.... They informed me they now charge for them and no longer complimentary. Promptly walked out and went to Mi Pueblo where unlimitedchips and salsa, clean, well lit , good food and lots of customers.

Overall pretty good..... We love the food, drinks, atmosphere and especially PACO the Parrot. The pricing is a bit high but... portions are decent. Only problem we had was the brought us wrong order and took forever to close out our bill and get boxes.Service was great but we sat outside since inside was busy and we felt a bit forgotten when it came to refills, cashing out ormaking sure order was correct. Still the food, atmosphere and Paco was worth the visit. Not an every day dinner place as it costus a family of 4 over $100 to eat. We had burritos , tacos, an appetizer and one margarita. Read more

Such delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine! From the salsa to the guacamole, sangria and potent margaritas, and the generous... entrée portions! Chicanos is a fun hangout with lovely staff who are engaging and in love with their establishment! Read more

Upon entering we waited several minutes before being pointed to a table. It was very dark inside-was this place a night club?!... Not many vegetarian options. At most Mexican restaurants chips & salsa are complimentary but not here they are an extra charge.It was way overpriced & food didn't taste very good. Beans tasted weird & we couldn't even eat them. Server acted like she hatedher job & didn't even check on us until the end for us to pay. Watch your ticket, tried to overcharge us too! We won't be goingback...even if they had a free coupon.

We had an amazing time, so good that we came back 3 days in a row (vacation). Tacos are really good, flavorful and just... delicious. Mojitos were great and the margaritas too. We came back for the happy hour and for the best customer service we havehad in a long time. Our server (forgot his name... sorry) engaged in conversations with our son and our daughter. He went aboveand beyond every single day. The last day we even brought some friends. I definitely recommended. Read more

Run of the mill average American Mexican fare. Our server was friendly and offered her recommendations. The food was okay, not... bad, not great. Lastly, for the entire state of Florida, please stop "one time use" plastic straws are not necessary, unlessdisabled, or toddlers (bring your own if you need to use them), and help preserve our oceans, and planet. Reduce, reuse, thenrecycle ??????????????? Read more

The house margarita had a pool of mix that just sat in the middle of the glass, no matter how much I stirred it just sat there... like a blood clot. I had the chimichanga and Tamale combo, I asked for a beef chimichanga but the waitress insisted I asked forchicken because she wrote down chicken which she showed me, but I'd never ask for a chicken chimichanga, I don't like pollo allthat much, never have. The food was miraculously bland but at the same time very salty. The rice was old, the refried beanswere tired. The staff was nice though. I wish them the best, I won't be back. Read more

Great food, service, and atmosphere. A good variety of meat and vegetarian items offered on the menu. Their salsa and chips are... fantastic! My server, Jesus was very friendly and attentive. Limited outdoor seating. Plenty of parking and handicapaccessible. Read more
