Had to try out the newest Mexican spot in Montpelier. Very relaxing vibe inside. Stopped in for an early dinner so it wasn’t too busy yet. But the service was quick! Got chips and queso to start along with some margaritas. So good. The queso has a nice little kick to it. All the food was so good! Ordered tacos for our meal. Can’t wait to try more of the menu!

Food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the Pork Belly Tacos!
I had 3 Tacos, the Fish, Pork Belly and chicken. All 3 were excellent and very flavorful. You can tell that everything is made from scratch.
The waitstaff were very friendly and knowledgeable.
I plan to have lunch here again real soon!

I was so pleased to hear that a new restaurant was moving into this spot on State Street in downtown Montpelier. Chico’s keeps the menu simple with tacos being the main feature. We ordered barbacoa, carnitas, pork belly, and fish. They were all really good, and the barbacoa and carnitas were outstanding. All the salsas we had were flavorful and hotter than most salsas you’ll find in other Vermont establishments. The classic margarita was tasty, though a little on the sweet side, and served in Mexican glassware. We finished off with the flan which was the perfect consistency. We’ll definitely be back to Chico’s in the future!

Absolutely incredible food, and margaritas! Biker friendly and they even have some awesome low key dogs wandering around.
The food is so good! Had the vegetarian burrito and my son had the barbacoa beef.
The Cadillac margarita is astonishing!

First time at Chico’s here in beautiful Montpelier Vermont. My wife and I got the Gordo Burrito with chicken and Quesadilla also with chicken. Service was terrific and very fast. Food was outstanding — best burrito and quesadilla we have ever had. Definitely will be coming back. Also enjoyed our seats in the back that are next to the old bank vault door.

My wife and I were in Montpelier, and since she was craving tacos, we decided to try Chico’s Tacos and Bar for the first time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. Our server, Sam L, greeted us right away and asked if we preferred to sit indoors or outside on the patio. We went with the patio, which turned out to be a great choice, it had a fun and relaxed vibe, perfect for dinner.
We started with the Chips & Queso ($6) as our side. The chips came out fresh, and the queso was creamy, flavorful, and just the right kind of indulgent starter. For drinks, I went with the Jarritos Punch ($15) sweet, refreshing, and definitely a fun pick. My wife stuck with water, which Sam kept refilled throughout the meal.
For the main course, I ordered the Gordo Burrito ($21). It was an 11” flour tortilla stuffed with guajillo/lime chicken, refried beans, rice, pico de gallo, and cheese, smothered in a red sauce, and finished with crema and guacamole. It was hearty, flavorful, and more than satisfying, the perfect comfort dish. My wife went with the 2 Tacos ($13) one with chicken and one with beef. They came topped with cilantro, onion, lime, and cotija cheese on fresh corn tortillas. She really enjoyed them and loved how authentic they tasted.
Overall, we were enjoyed our meal. The food was fresh and flavorful, the service from Sam was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the patio ambiance was just right for a casual night out. Chico’s Tacos and Bar is definitely a spot we’d come back to the next time we’re in Montpelier.

Amazing food. ✔️
Veteran owned and operated. ✔️
Laid back atmosphere. ✔️
Talked with the owner, Drew, lots of locally sourced beers and produce. Fresh ingredients, good food, fresh tortillas, the list goes on. The burrito, which i believe was $15, I had to get the second half to go it was so big.
Lots of parking, biker friendly, looks like a nice little patio as well.
100% worth the stop, and we plan to be back soon.

We went for Taco Tuesday = $5 for all tacos including fish tacos.
Our server Sam was excellent.
The atmosphere is pleasant. Kind of a SouthWest saloon vibe with a pool table in the main dining room, banquets, etc.
The food was good, not great. The Vermont made corn tortillas are tasty, but fall apart easily when eating a taco. Considering the generous amount of fillings and the delicate nature of the flatbread maybe two tortillas per taco is warranted. Or better yet, why not try making your own tortillas?
We had the fish tacos. The fried fish in the tacos was crispy, but had no flavor. The tortillas weren’t warm. I liked the sliced jalapeños and fresh cabbage in the tacos. I also liked the fact that it had grated cojita, but it wasn’t sharp, so it didn’t add anything in terms of flavor. Basically, the tacos could have been more flavorful.
The chips and salsa were meh. I gather they must use the same local Vermont tortillas for the chips, but some tortillas fry better than others, these apparently do not. The chips were served cold, many were broken, greasy, overcooked, and hard. The salsa seemed fresh, nice texture, but again lacked much in the way of flavor.
The menu is meat heavy, it could use more vegetarian and seafood options.
Honestly, having four other Mexican places in town (a popular one right across the street), I was hoping this would be “a horse of a different color” (as Chico’s owner suggested on a recent Facebook post), but this is not that. This is bland, so-so food that lacks spice. Maybe consider hiring some Mexicans?

Wow. We’ve had a lot of Mexican all over the world, the flavors here are on point, all the proteins are very fresh and that salsa is fire (literally). And then we haven’t mentioned the inside decor, very cool. During summer the garage doors are open and it’s just chefs kiss! Oh and if you are lucky you hear the live music from across the street if they have a performance.

The pork belly taco and pozole were incredibly delicious. I sat at the bar during a quiet lunch hour and enjoyed chatting with the friendly bartender/ waitress, and was very happy with the prompt service. The whole space felt bright and welcoming. Highly recommend!
