Yes.
If you need to find the meaning of a word, you can use the translate and dictionary tools that you have available right on top of the page. The site's dictionary is very good.

Heidi has already told him that, Pajaro has already told him that ... 3d time the charm? Probably not, someone will still answer and vote. - LateToDinner, Jun 30, 2010
And you know what? Maybe someone else will pick up on it and get some value so we say: Welcome to the forum! - LateToDinner, Jun 30, 2010

There is a bit of a difference between the two. Pequeño and chico both mean small. Chiquito is more like really small, or tiny. It's a matter of degree. Of course, all 3 words can refer to children, as well.

Well I am not from Mexico but I would say they are synonyms. They both mean small or little. I think that un chiquito is also like 'a kid'.
