Chilito’s Mexican Restaurant
 

I would like to invite you to take a look at a very nice Mexican restaurant, called Chilito's. This is where I take a number of my students every year to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine right here in Kingston, Jamaica.

I must admit that I would be biased if I had to tell you about the restaurant, so I will let the staff at Chilito's tell you about the restaurant for themselves.
 
 

Background

Chilito’s Mexican Restaurant opened its doors in October of 1998. It is owned and operated by a small Mexican family who believes that Mexico is a country that has a lot to offer by way of its rich traditions and customs. Jamaica has been the family home for a number of years.  

Over the years, the family noticed the lack of variety, not only in recreational activities and entertainment, but also in international cuisine in a number of Jamaican settings. In Kingston, the restaurant community tends to offer similar service. Jamaica, however, does have great restaurants which specialize in local, Chinese, and even Italian food, but there is still more to offer to this great country, this is the ultimate reason for Chilito's opening.

Chilito's has been getting a lot of positive feedback from many of its clients who come so often that they feel and regard it as "home". What the restaurant wants to adopt as a new approach at this time is the notion of greeting Jamaica's visitors with a twist.
   

Chilito's - The Restaurant

With almost two (2) years of experience, Chilito's Restaurant has gained much media attention from the three mainstream newspapers in Jamaica and the public at large. An official with the Jamaica Tourist Board was a guest of Chilito's shortly after its opening and he expressed his satisfaction with the tasty food, the originally-designed setting and ambiance, the friendly and courteous service accorded by staff, the lively music and the resaonable prices.  

Julio, the Restaurant's Manager, wishes to assure you that Chilito's will trigger all five senses of the body of every single guests that comes through the doors of Mexico! As you enter, you will see the friendly smile of a person with a warm greeting and you will take in the decor that has and will be even more spectacular in time.

Even before you place your order, you will smell the rich scents of the country with ingredients and spices that indigenous to Mexico, such as cilantro, green tomatillos, jalapeños and so many fresh chiles and the list goes on and on. At Chilito's only the best ingredients are used in the preparation of every single meal. This is why the third sense of taste is the lost exciting!
