29.10.10 - Chiquito. Part II

ChiquitoRedfield Way, Lenton, Nottingham.


Alright, I'm just gonna post what Eddie had, for the sake of posting. 




Chipotle Meatballs - £4.95


Eddie has this thing for meatballs, it's a little creepy. If there's meatballs on the menu for a starter there's an 85% chance he'll get it. This was no exception. The meatballs were gone within minutes. I had to ask him how they were. He said they were medium spicey, not too hot. With a great texture, meaning they weren't overcooked or too chewy. The cornbread was interesting, it looked like a slice of cake...and it kinda tasted like it too. It was light and fluffy (I stole a bit) and a little sweet too so it reminded me of vanilla sponge cake when it wasn't dipped in the tomato and chipotle sauce. 






Enchiladas - £10.15


For his main, Eddie had the Enchiladas with the Spicy Chicken. He was having a little trouble with this, because he doesn't like sour cream, guacamole or chipotle mayo. So, he had to scrape it all off into a pile on the side. After he started tucking in, he was still having trouble eating it due to the fact it fell apart too easily, which we've never had a problem with before. There was too much rice inside them and not enough chicken which made them really filling and a little hard to eat. He said they were nice though, just a pain to eat and too much rice. The Spicy chicken was great, there just wasn't enough of it. 



Mini "Shot" Desserts - £1.79 each, 2 - £3.49, 3 - £4.99, all 5 - £6.99

I managed to convince Eddie to get the mini shots as his dessert as he was too full to have a full dessert, and I really wanted to see them. We decided on one each and share the churros (Yeah, we didn't...) Eddie had the Banoffee Toffee Shot which is on the left. When I asked him how it was he just said "Delicious", It was basically toffee syrup with chunks of nice sweet banana in it, topped with cream and chocolate sprinkles with a biscuit base. He finished it pretty quickly. 


My Double Chocolate Minted Mousse was great, the top half was a dense, rich chocolate mousse with just the right amount of mint to make it not as heavy. The second half was a lighter, bubbly mousse which was just as minty. As full as I was, I managed to eat the whole thing.
