About Chico's Mexican

Chico’s serves unpretentious, scratch-made Mexican staples tucked upstairs above Kirribilli's leafy streets. Patrons congregate along the open balcony over fresh guacamole, crisp corn ribs, and made-to-order mezcal margaritas. The kitchen skips fast-casual short cuts—turning out slow-braised lamb birria tucked into double-layered tortillas alongside bowls of spiced consommé for dipping.

  • Birria with Consommé: Slow-cooked lamb folded into crisp tortillas, served alongside bowls of seasoned dipping broth.
  • Balcony Terrace: Second-floor outdoor seating looking out across tree-lined Kirribilli streets.
  • Traditional Staples: Classic scratch recipes spanning chicken flautas, sizzling fajitas, and charred corn ribs.
