Chido Chido Bar and Cantina

Very good location and view from the restaurant. Food was not bad. Try the chef selection 7 dishes $69 per person. Meat lover may not enough cause only one main meat dish to share. King fish appetiser - love it Grilled cauliflower risotto - yummy Lamb backstrap was so tender Churros with ice cream is just perfect to finish the whole meal. Free parking if dine in

Lovely food. We went for a mixture of Mexican Street Food on the back of the menu and shared plates. Good selection of drinks and tasty cocktails. Service was a little slow (Saturday night) but good. Anna was a great waitress who gave us lots of information about the food and recommendations. Heaps of seating and over-looking the city at sunset is awesome. Park underneath via Tower St (via Westfield’s car parking exit) was a little hard to find. Would go back again.

We decided to drop by on a warm Friday afternoon to check out the live music and rooftop bar. Parking was a bit confusing so we just parked in Bunnings which has a 2 hour free parking limit... So not sure what free parking options are available if you use the parking facilities for the venue. Inside it was a nice space with some lounge chairs if you want to just chill and have a drink and snacks. There is a large outdoor area that faces the North which would be good to sit at and enjoy the midday sun...I think if the live music was out there it would have been better. Bar service if you go up to order is ok. When we were there it seemed there were new, young, staff still getting used to things so service was slow...I even had to go up and remind the staff I was still waiting for a drink... But I'm sure things will improve. You can order via QR code if sitting outside but strangely you can't when inside in the lounge area. Bathrooms were nice, clean and modern... But it's a new venue so that's to be expected. Live music was good... Will come back in a few months and see how things have improved with time.

We were so fortunate to be invited to dine at chido chido which is a gorgeous new Mexican eatery located on level 3 of the Mercure Hotel in Doncaster. The restaurant has gorgeous views all the way out to the city making it a perfect spot for a date night or dinner with your family/friends! Our favourite dishes were the calamari which was sooo tender and super crispy on the outside (honestly was soo delicious and a huge serving) - it was paired with a guac and salsa which was just perfect! We loved the char grilled prawns as well which were so fresh, crispy and charred to perfection! We loved the corn (seriously unreal and a must!!! So sweet, juicy, the perfect char and so much flavour) and the watermelon salad (to break down all the heat) however the watermelon salad we had looked different to previous photos I had seen and we would have also loved the potatoes to be a bit crispier but they were perfectly spiced 🤍 For mains we had the nachos and pork carnitas! The pork carnitas were really delicious, super moist and the guac was the perfect addition! My partner loved the nachos 🌙 Desserts were fabulous! I had never had a baba dough before but it was delicious- so light and fluffy and paired perfectly with all the accompaniments. The churros were delicious, crispy and fresh and melted in your mouth but the dulce de leche was very light in colour to previous pics so maybe it was different slightly? Whatever it was, it was yum 👍🏽 Drinks were incredible- my fave was defs the cucumber and chilli marg 🌶 SO GOOD!!! Service was very attentive and friendly 🤌🏼 4.5/5 💖 We would definitely return- esp for an earlier dinner as there is a happy hour between 4-6pm!
