Chico's Mexican Restaurant - Ketchikan, Alaska

Diana O. (.

I have come here for lunch twice now, and I can say that both experiences have been very good.

The service is pleasant, they take your order quickly and everything arrives in good time even if it's busy.

I noticed that they changed the menu, they reduced it to suddenly be faster, which is good.

The portions are excellent and taste great, just like home-cooked food. It's a shame they don't have original drinks but it's understandable given the location.

If I have the opportunity to go back, I will. It is a warm environment despite being small, they always keep it clean.

We enjoyed our lunch at Chico's. Our server was quick and friendly; the food was great. We loved the decorations. The place is cozy.

This place was terrible. I've never seen guacamole that color in my entire life. It didn't even taste like there was avocado in it. Tasted like cream or mayo, something wasn't right. The store bought bag of tortilla chips was an immediate indication I made a big mistake coming here. Chicken bone just chilling in my enchilada. Also, there was no hand soap in the restroom, which is a huge red flag. Not even an empty bottle, just non existent. I typically don't write many reviews even when I should, but I can't not say anything this time. This place was BAD.

Great place to go if your ever in ketchikan. The Mexican food was delicious, and the pizza was the best one we tried in the city, and I tried a few. The owner is super nice and chill. She stayed talking with us and told us all about the town.

I worked in food service for a long time, it takes a LOT for me to complain, never mind write a review. This was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had.

For starters, the table was swarmed with fruit flies. Service was extremely slow despite us being the only table in the restaurant. The “chips and dip” came out as store bought tortilla chips with melted shredded cheese on top, lettuce, grey guacamole, and black olives.

We ordered beef and shrimp fajitas. The beef was not fajita, but some kind of stir fry meat, the shrimp were incredibly overcooked, and there was an assortment of random vegetables with the fajitas like cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, and orange slices for some reason The marinade tasted of pre-packaged generic Asian food that you might get from the frozen section of the grocery store. The tortillas were listed as flour on the menu but what came out was corn. All of this was topped with more grey guacamole.

There’s no antibacterial soap in the bathroom, just a giant bottle of dish soap.

We finally asked for the check when I found a hair in my shrimp and a fruit fly landed in my beer. We sent back full plates and no one asked if anything was wrong. $90 tab and we had to stop at McDonald’s on the way home because everything at Chico’s was inedible.

I wanted to like this place because the lady running it was working so hard and was friendly, but the food was just not good. Pictured are supposedly what I ordered as “taquitos”?

Best Mexican restaurant for the best pizza in Ketchikan. Food was very tasty and fresh. We did eat the authentic American Mexican food they are known for. Salsa actually had flavor and spice. Locally owned and slightly off the beaten path.
