I hosted a business lunch at Chico Marx with two clients and a colleague. The atmosphere was perfect for a productive and enjoyable meeting. The food was outstanding. We ordered a variety of dishes, including drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts, and everything was delicious. The short rib empanadas and ceviche were particularly memorable. The lomo saltado was cooked to perfection with a generous portion. We also loved the churros and chocolate mousse for dessert. The mousse was a bit thicker than usual, but it was very smooth and I actually preferred it to other places. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. It was a Monday, so the restaurant wasn't too crowded. I think this hidden gem is still relatively unknown. Even my clients, who work nearby, had never heard of it. They were thrilled to discover this great spot. I will definitely bring my clients back here again and recommend it to others.

We needed a gem restaurant close to SFO hotel where friends flew in from Boston. Chico Marx (cool name) was it. We enjoyed multiple veggie, fish and beef dishes truly feeling like South American cuisine. Happy hour prices until 6:30pm on a Friday eve made this high value. Ambience feels like a modern library on the left, fun kitchen on the right.

A group of former colleagues were getting together for drinks and appetizers (Happy Hour) from 5-7 on a weeknight. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They approached us immediately and directed us thoughtfully. We had an assortment of small bites that were absolutely delicious. We shared carafes of red sangria which was also perfect. There were very few people in the restaurant at this time. It was nice for our purposes to be in a quiet environment so our larger group could hear across the table. The Happy Hour deals were very well priced.

I've been to Chico Marx twice now—once for happy hour with the girls and another time to catch up with my aunt and cousin—and it's been a great experience both times! This place is perfect for happy hour, hanging out with friends, or catching up with family. The lomo saltado is definitely my favorite; the flavors are amazing. I've also enjoyed most of the food items on the happy hour menu. The cocktails are great, though I found the sangria carafe a bit watered down on my first visit. Other than that, everything else has been fantastic. The service is excellent, and the vibes are just right. Chico Marx is a nice hidden gem that not too many people seem to know about. I highly recommend checking it out!

Food was good, but I felt the portions were very small for the amount charged. I woke up with a queasy feeling in my stomach. Service was great.

Had a late afternoon lunch. Was empty so quiet. Space is cool and relaxed. Menu is varied with lots of small dishes which we love. Service was friendly and easy. Food was mostly very good - a few dishes needed a little more punch. If we go back I’d ask for some chilis on the side to help elevate some flavors. Presentation was very lovely. Overall positive experience. It’s expensive - reflects the biotech industry surrounding the biotech buildings where it’s housed.

Have been here several times for tapas and drinks. Consistently excellent service, delicious food and creative and fun mixed drinks! This is a great spot to chill and relax after work with colleagues. Everyone who I’ve invited has had the same experience.

Such a great place to gather whether small or large parties. So convenient with ample parking. Best of all is the ample menu and the outstanding team. There are tasty shareables and unique cocktails for everyone, no matter what tickles your fancy. Please note that they do close early, but that just means an early off to enjoy a time out from life.
