The Visionaries Behind Chido
Chido Castizo y Chingón is the brainchild of brothers Carlos and Víctor González Almeida.

Having previously only operated two restaurants in Madrid, the González Almeida brothers are now venturing into new territories with their unique concept. Their aim is not only to bring quality Mexican cuisine to the table but to create a dining experience that resonates with the vibrant lifestyles of the local communities.
