    Went here after church with a bunch of my girlfriends. None of us spoke Spanish, but the kind employee was so accommodating and explained everything about the menu to us. I didn't feel like a fish-out-of-water like some of the other Hispanic-owned hole-in-the-walls. We were told that the menu is based on Ecuadorean cuisine so they use a different variation of meats and sauces than the Mexican taco. Unfortunately, they don't offer platter combos, so you would need to order your tacos and sides a la carte. I ordered the pina drink with two asada tacos and one pollo taco. All the tacos came with just the tortilla and meats, and the onions and cilantro came on the side in little bags. They also gave us bags of like wedges and spicy sauces (none of which I could handle as they were too spicy for me). The tacos were okay, but what stood out to me were their tortillas. I'm not sure if they made them in-house, but they felt and tasted homemade. They were irregularly shaped but had a doughy texture. Some of my friends ordered from the entree menu and their portions were ginormous! (See photo). My friend told me that her steak was a bit dry though. Overall, we had a positive experience here. We also did not have issues splitting the checks among us 6 women. The music and conversations were a bit on the louder side, so just be aware.

    Consomé and rice
    Brizette C.

    This place is absolutely amazing! Every time I come to Vegas I have attempt to find a good goat barbacoa and consomé restaurant and had not been able to for years until now. Not only is the food great but the staff makes you feel like family. Immediately as you walk in they greet you with a big smile. The prices are great and they have good family deals. The goat meat here is the best around with a doubt.Although the restaurant is small the inside is beautiful and the atmosphere is amazing. If you haven't been in yet, drop by for lunch or dinner.

    Chilaquiles With over-easy eggs.
    Megan N.

    This place does not look like much from the outside, but is quite a hidden gem. The food is very fresh and authentic. The sauce used in the chilaquiles is made in-house and super flavorful. Anyone who likes spicy would probably enjoy this dish. I also thought the prices for the portions we got were reasonable, and the staff are friendly. I would definitely come back here.

    Great Barbacoa!

They have a Loteria drinking game, with each card matching a drink on the menu. Fun idea, but when explained seemed confusing. The drink was ok, too sweet for me and a little small for the price. Menu highlights for me was The dirty corn, salsa flight, and my (2) taco plate. The dirty corn was a standout with elote-style corn in a bowl, topped with chicharron, chorizo, and spicy mayo. It delivers that street corn flavor, but with a good mix of textures and spice. My tacos were delicious. I tried one grilled shrimp taco and one carnitas taco, served with rice and beans. The blue corn tortillas were a nice touch and pillowy soft! The carnitas were amazing, great flavor and super tender. I shrimp tacos were just as good and when topped with their habanero, verde, and roja salsa, that heat and flavor depth gets elevated! Overall, it's a dependable neighborhood spot with a fun atmosphere, creative touches, and good food that makes it worth a visit if you are in the area!

    After an early morning flight into Vegas, my sisters and I went to Chica for brunch. We got a…read morereservation, which didn't really seem necessary as it was pretty empty when we got there. The vibes are really fun, very vibrant and there are various rooms that could offer more intimate spaces if you wanted. We were greeted pretty promptly, but the service was admittedly slow. He was attentive when around, and there was someone always coming around and filling our water, but it did take a bit to get our order in and receive our food. The food was absolutely delicious! I can't remember the name of my meal, but it had steak with chimichurri, fried plantain, pico, avocado, beans, rice and an egg. My favorite part was definitely the steak! It was perfectly cooked and the chimichurri added the best brightness that the dish needed! There are so many spots in Vegas so I'm not sure I'd come back but I definitely enjoyed it.

Every food item on the Happy Hour menu is $12, which makes it a great way to try a variety of dishes without spending a fortune in Vegas. We ordered the shrimp tacos, CHICA nachos, Firecracker Wings, quesa-birria empanadas, potato flautas, shrimp ceviche, and ahi tuna bites. Everything was absolutely delicious, and there honestly wasn't a bad dish in the bunch. One thing to keep in mind is that these truly are small plates. Don't expect a lot of food with each $12 dish. They're perfect for ordering several different things and sharing, but if you're really hungry, you'll definitely want to order multiple plates. The Firecracker Wings had a really nice kick to them. We loved the spice, but if you have a lower spice tolerance, be careful with those! Also, a heads-up about the shrimp ceviche: CHICA's version is more tomato-based rather than the bright, lime-forward ceviche you might be expecting. It was still really good, but if you don't like tomato-based ceviche, that's definitely something to know before ordering. For drinks, we tried the CHICA-Rita, Palomita, and Tommy's Margarita. They were running a 2-for-1 drink special for $21 total, which was such a great deal, especially for Vegas. Between the absolutely delicious food, fun atmosphere, and Happy Hour pricing, we really enjoyed CHICA. It's a great spot if you like ordering a bunch of small plates for the table and getting to try a little bit of everything.
