About Chiquito United Kingdom
Chiquito is one of the UK's most recognisable Mexican restaurant chains, known for its lively atmosphere, fajitas, enchiladas and margaritas. What makes the card useful for a business is that it doesn't lock recipients into Chiquito alone. The card is actually a Restaurant Card, valid at more than 180 locations across the UK, so the person you're sending it to can choose Chiquito or opt for a meal at Bella Italia, Las Iguanas, The Banana Tree or Frankie & Benny's instead.
The card is issued in pounds sterling and can be loaded with any amount between £1 and £500, in whole pounds. It's valid for 24 months from the last date of use, which means each time the recipient uses it, the clock resets on any remaining balance. That's a long window for a restaurant card and gives recipients plenty of time to arrange a meal.
To use it, the recipient prints the code that arrives with the card and presents it to their server when paying. It's processed at the till like a standard gift card. Because it's a physical printout, it works best for people who are likely to dine in a restaurant with a printer-friendly voucher, rather than those who prefer paying by phone or ordering delivery. The card can be used towards the bill at any of the participating locations, and any unused amount stays on the card for later use within the expiry period.
Businesses send these through GIFQ as a way to reward staff, thank customers, or pay out small incentives. A team lunch, a customer thank-you after a big order, or a research incentive for participants who'd enjoy a meal out are all natural fits. Because the card isn't tied to a single brand, it suits groups with mixed tastes, and the wide choice of casual dining restaurants makes it a safe pick for a broad audience.
GIFQ delivers the card as a digital code, which you can send in bulk from your dashboard or automatically through the API. That works for one-off rewards and for ongoing programmes, such as sending a card to every participant who completes a study, or a card to each employee on their work anniversary. The card is for the United Kingdom only and cannot be used in other countries.
From product selection to delivery
For a direct order, your business chooses this product, its value and the quantity. Review the card details alongside the recipient’s needs before including it in a bulk order or an integration.
Check the market and value
The card details show the values and currency for this product. Use those to choose an amount that fits your budget and the recipient’s market. For a different country, explore the brand’s other market listings.
Prepare the recipient’s instructions
Review the expiry information shown and the brand’s instructions. Check whether redemption requires an account or a particular channel. Deliver those instructions with the reward so the recipient knows how to use it.
Choose direct ordering or recipient choice
If you need this particular card, order the selected product and value through the dashboard or API. If you want the person to choose the brand, confirm the options available for that payout before presenting the selection.
Start with a small order
Test the flow with a small order and keep its reference. Check the status before repeating a request that appears delayed. In an integration, connect the GIFQ order to your own record so your team can follow up on delivery questions.
Frequently asked questions
Where can the Chiquito gift card be used?
The card can be used at over 180 restaurants across the United Kingdom. This includes Chiquito, Bella Italia, Las Iguanas, The Banana Tree and Frankie & Benny's. It cannot be used outside the UK.
What amounts can I load onto the card?
You can load any amount from £1 to £500 in pounds sterling. There are no fixed denominations, so you can choose the exact value that fits your reward or payout.
How long is the card valid for?
The card is valid for 24 months from the last date of use. Each time the recipient uses the card, the validity period resets for any remaining balance.
How does someone redeem the card?
The recipient prints the code that is sent with the card and presents it to their server when paying at a participating restaurant. It is processed like a standard gift card at the point of sale.
Can I send Chiquito gift cards in bulk through GIFQ?
Yes. You can send the cards in bulk from the GIFQ dashboard or automate delivery through the API. This works for employee rewards, customer incentives, research participant payments and similar use cases.
Is this card suitable for remote workers or people who prefer delivery?
The card requires an in-person visit to a participating restaurant and a printed code, so it works best for recipients who can dine in. If your audience is largely remote or prefers takeaways and delivery, this may not be the ideal choice.
