Chido’s Tex-Mex Grill

Came here for dinner on a Sunday before catching a show at the Filmore. We had reservations and got seated right away. The restaurant had a nice bar area to catch the games and plenty of seating. For drinks, we ordered the strawberry margaritas on the rocks with salt rim. It was quite tasty. Complimentary chips and salsa were given to the table and for food we ordered: the chicken fajitas, tacos el pastor, and Chido's Salad. The portions were great and everything came out hot and delicious. Service was quick and staff were attentive. I would definitely come back again.

So I'm a fan of Tex-Mex and I feel like it's kind of hard to get around here. My friend and I recently tried Chido's and I think I might have found my place! We both got the combination plate with three items. I chose a Beef enchilada, Veggie enchilada, and Chicken tamal. It also comes with rice and charro beans. The beef and veggie enchiladas were both excellent - the fillings were delicious (even the veggies, which are sometimes kind of bland) and the two different sauces were great, even if a bit salty. I'd get both of those again.I wouldn't say the same of the chicken tamal - while there was enough chicken filling (a common complaint among tamales), the masa was super soft and kind of...squishy. It was like eating baby food.Loved the side of beans and thought they had a great flavor. Overall, I think it's a great new addition to downtown Silver Spring.

Great value!! This is new to the Silver Spring area and the fajitas were very delicious! Not as expensive as your usual Tex-mex restaurants and the portions are great. I will definitely come back here. The venue is very large with lots of room for big parties. We came here as a party of 15 and were seated immediately. The restaurant was a little foggy (from the food I presume?) so it was a bit smoggy. That would be my only feedback! Otherwise, excited to come back and try more!

We visited on the opening night and enjoyed it. Staff was very friendly and service was great. I ordered the 10 ounce strawberry margarita and loved it, though it was not served in a margarita glass, disappointingly. It was strong. Chips were warm and a thicker style, which I prefer. Salsa is good. I liked my vegetables fajitas, but the vegetables needed more seasoning. Also, there were baby carrots, which weren't fully cooked, and it should have bias-cut carrots cut for fajitas, so that was weird. The beans were good, but also underseasoned, though the white rice was perfect. They forgot the shredded lettuce on my side plate of pico de gallo and guacamole. No Mexican butter either. Also, the beans were refried but were supposed to be a la charra with the fajitas. I understand this was opening night though. My boyfriend enjoyed his burrito.The music in the bar was very loud, though it was mostly contained to that area. Overall, the restaurant was still loud though--not comfortable for conversation or those who are sensitive. We've been looking forward to Chido's opening, especially as I've enjoyed the Laurel location, so we'll be happy to return here.

Came here on opening day and had a great time. We got 10% off the bill. We waited about thirty minutes but everything was fast once we were seated. The waitress didn't really check on us and I was craving hot sauce but I understand it was very busy. We got the veggie enchiladas, chicken burrito, and house margaritas. Margaritas were strong but good! Looking forward to coming back!

Chido's is an amazing addition to Downtown Silver Spring. My wife and I went here several weeks ago on a Friday night and it was busy but there was seating available. We got the Bronzino Special and Steak Fajitas and loved them as well as a frozen margarita of two flavors one of them which was mango. The staff were very friendly and the ambiance is nice too with music but it wasn't too loud for conversation.

The ambiance and decor is well done! Lots of colors and but also lovely booths on the side for seating. Appreciate that there is plenty of space and event a private room for larger parties. The food was delicious! Plates came out nice and warm. The service speed was average but the staff were very attentive and accommodating!

Hubby is a native Texan and I lived in TX for 20 years plus or minus, so we've been missing good Tex-Mex. Alas, we are still missing good Tex-Mex.The best thing here was the margarita. It wasn't the best margarita I've ever had by a long shot, but most margaritas around here are downright terrible and these were decent. It gets 3 stars just because of the decent margarita, otherwise it would be 2.On the food side, we weren't impressed at all. He ordered a chicken chimichanga I believe, I ordered a combo that had a cheese enchilada with tomatillo sauce and a shredded beef taco. The rice and beans were both bland. The taco shell came from a box. The enchilada was completely congealed. No heat in anything at all. The chips were ok, the salsa was a runny tomato juice mess with again no heat to speak of. I only ate half my dinner and didn't bother taking it home. I almost NEVER leave food at a restaurant, I am all about the leftovers, but these did not have a favorable flavor to calorie ratio so I didn't bother. Neither did hubby.Oh well. We'll stick to getting Oaxacan enchiladas in Wheaton at Sabor Mixteco, new mex enchiladas from Anita's in NOVA and fajitas from Uncle Julio's and keep up the search for good Tex-Mex enchiladas nearby.

A new spot that has entered Silver Spring's dining scene.I stopped by to grab a quick frozen margarita in while running errands. First, this place is HUGE. I think this might be one of the largest restaurants in the area. Since I was traveling solo, I grabbed a spot at the bar. My bartender was super friendly because he immediately handed me a menu (which was expected) and a basket of chips and salsa (which was not expected). The restaurant has a nice selection of frozen margaritas. I went with a mango strawberry margarita. I thought the margarita was great because it was a bit potent while not being TOO sweet. The 24 oz margaritas were about $16, which I think is pretty reasonable for the area. Since I was not super hungry, I went with the empanadas appetizer and was very impressed. For $9, you'll receive three empanadas. Although they were not the best empanadas that I've had, the salsa that came with them was AMAZING. I wonder if Chido's plans to sell that green salsa because I could put that salsa on all of my dishes in my regular life. I hope in the near future, that I will have the chance try some of Chido's platos fuertes. Also, I hope this place sticks around for a while. I have to admit that I am a bit worried because the restaurant is HUGE, but I did not see that many people dining in the restaurant. I would say that the restaurant was at 10% capacity. All that said, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Chido's.

Ruben our bartender was amazing, he recommended some really good drinks after telling him what we had already tried off of their menu. It was a good experience, enjoying some drinks while watching the football game.
