But hang on a minute, she wasn't trans was she?
I'm pleased :)
They do offer 17% off for 'anyone with a voucher' but I can forgive them that. Might go this weekend.

She had big eyebrows. I’d be amazed if someone wasn’t stating that is an indicator of trans ness.

Was there for lunch today and was pleased that they use the words "woman" and "female" on the promotional cards with no other nonsense!

Lordfrontpaw · 05/03/2020 17:32

I’ve never been - but may make a special trip. After being exposed to Starbucks twaddle yesterday it will be nice to see something positive. They aren’t giving anything to any dodgy charities are they? 🤨

I don't think they're giving money to anyone, but they are giving away tattoos from an all female tattooing collective

Lordfrontpaw · 05/03/2020 17:41

Not real ones I assume!

sansgender · 05/03/2020 17:43

I think they are real.. I don't think many people will be interested in entering especially as it's a particular design rather than letting you choose your own!

Lordfrontpaw · 05/03/2020 17:49

Like their logo - free food for life!

StealthPolarBear · 05/03/2020 17:49

I wondered about the tattoos, what a very strange prize!

Well I wonder how they plan to explain the lack of a trans agenda to the GBTQ+ overlords

Maybe they don’t eat there...

Gingerkittykat · 05/03/2020 18:50

Chiquitos is great on Tuesday and Wednesday with their two for one deal with the Meerkat deal.

Thir churros are also amazing.

Lordfrontpaw · 05/03/2020 19:17

Is the veggie stuff good?

sansgender · 05/03/2020 19:38

It was my first visit today so I've only tried one thing, but their vegan fajitas are amazing, and I'm fussy. I was stuffed and that was after a swim, and I have a huge appetite. They also didn't seem to mind me feeding my 2 year old some of the unlimited tortilla wraps instead of buying him a meal which he wouldn't eat Grin

sansgender · 05/03/2020 19:40

We used a tastecard too and I think you can anytime

StealthPolarBear · 05/03/2020 19:47

Well I'm veggie and I like it. I can't stand the churros though, had high hopes but they're so dry

Lordfrontpaw · 05/03/2020 19:49

I love proper churros! The Spanish deli near me bloody well changed to a halal cafe - no more churros for me!

FriedasCarLoad · 05/03/2020 19:53

Well, given my username, I should be pleased!

StealthPolarBear · 05/03/2020 21:07

And are you?

I've only been once to a branch near The Old Vic but the food was great. I also really like that you can pay and tip using their app- thus avoiding the perennial end of meal spoiler of "can I please, please, please have the bill"

An aside- there was a thread on AIBU recently from a poster who was worried about her boyfriend's obsession with Frida Kahlo- to the point he wanted her to dress and wear her hair like Kahlo. The poster sounded very sweet and genuine- I wonder what happened.

DidoLamenting · 05/03/2020 21:24

Actually I've just muddled up with Wahacca but still good on Chiquito for choosing Kahlo.

Charley50 · 05/03/2020 21:37

@DidoLamenting - I read your first post and thought 'I bet she means Wahaca.' Lol ..

StealthPolarBear · 05/03/2020 21:44

I've been to that whaca. It was packed.

LazyFace · 05/03/2020 21:59

I think Chiquito's food really isn't great. Their standards have dropped a lot a few years ago.

DidoLamenting · 05/03/2020 22:01

I have been to a Chiquito's. It wasn't as good as Wahacca but was cheap and cheerful and we were very hungry.

And I'm still impressed by their promoting Frida Kahlo.

StealthPolarBear · 05/03/2020 22:10

Agree lazy face. Dh and I first went 20 years ago and thought I was well sophisticated. Then it came up north and was all downhill from there! It's OK but nothing special. But I am still happy they picked a woman who as far as I know has nothing to do with trans.
