If you want a place that looks like a Mexican restaurant, this is the place to go. The ambiance was great and it felt like the many Mexican restaurants i have back home in Colorado. The staff was friendly and the food came out quick. Unfortunately, that is where the positives end for this restaurant. The flavor of the food was severely lacking. It was noticeable in the salsa that was served with the chips and the 2 entrees I ordered on separate occasions. The consistency of the salsa was way too liquidy, almost as if the salsa was watered down. The flavor was dull as well. The first time I came here I ordered the chinichanga and the second time I ordered chicken enchiladas. Though the chimichanga wasn't bad, it wasn't good either. The chicken enchiladas were also severely lacking in flavor and just bland. Everything needed more flavor. This all wouldn't have been so bad if the prices were reasonable but they were quite high and not worth the value. Between expensive food and dull flavors, I would not reccomend dining here until things change. read more

Yesterday, my husband and I ate a Chihuahuas; we eat here pretty often. Love their chimichangas. Shout out to our waiter Francisco, who is super nice and helpful, we really like him! Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Mexican food. read more

What a letdown for lunch. Food was uninspired, Taco Bell would be my next stop. Over priced and sub par service. Then the waiter was hovering as I was given a remote billing as watching for my tip percentage. I will never go there again. read more

Overall, a pretty good Mexican - American restaurant. Service is always quick, and it's your traditional, setting as far as colors and booths go with the typical advertising on the tables... They don't scratch make much of their food as far as I can tell, which would definitely elevate the experience. And the plates are fairly expensive, but big enough for my wife and I to share, which is always a plus. Ice, cold, beers and happy hour margaritas every day. Overall, a pretty good local Mexican restaurant. read more

Very tasty and fresh! I recommend the chicken enchiladas. Their beans are authentic and the Mexican rice was decent. A little strange to have celery in the rice, but we didn't come for the rice. read more

Pros: Friendly, quick staff and food Nice decor Clean bathrooms Better than average Mexican food Crispy taco was excellent Cons: Beef in molcajete was tough Tortilla chips could do with some lime and salt Tamale corn lard mixture was much thicker than we were used to Enchiladas sauce left a lot to be desired read more

Really great food and service. One of my regular spots in Ferndale. The salsa is splendid.

Been eating here for probably 30+ years. All good to say! Great owners, and the employees are super polite. Always had great service. My family enjoys the food we order and the servings are good sized for bigger appetites. Excellent food, great owners and employees Again, great place to enjoy a nice lunch or dinner. read more

All around not an acceptable place to eat- dirty hanging cobwebs in July! Customer service was lacking and felt as if it was the last thing this guy wanted to be doing- I ordered a glass of Riesling and it was rancid- asked to change my order to a strawberry margarita and they must have literally put maybe a drop of tequila in it- at this point I didn't complain because I really didn't want the food to be compromised- I ordered the 2 enchilada combo- definitely was microwaved and my mans chalupa was nothing more then a weird fry bread taco that was cold and had a weird turkey/chicken protein instead of the ground beef he ordered- disappointing and disastrous is putting it politely- can say we will not be giving this place a try- read more

If you want great Mexican cuisine in the Pacific Northwest, Chihuahua is the place! This place has the ambience and the food to go with it! I had the three tacos entree which was terrific! I had the steak tacos which was cooked to perfection. The portion size was huge! The alcohol selection was decent, I chose the margarita on the rocks to wash down my entree. The service was fast and friendly. Make sure you make plans or get a reservation because this place was hopping on the weeknight we visited! read more

Chihuahua Mexican Restaurant - Three tacos entree! - Mexican Near Me - Ferndale, Washington

Two stars why? The food was good . We can't complain about that part . Two stars why ? The server ( older Mexican cranky man) took our order . Brought our order . Brought us the bill . My husband went to the bathroom and when he walked in through the bathroom door inside the bathroom both cabinet doors that held cleaning supplies were left wide open on upper cabinets so that you had no vision until you walked into them . He came out with a very sore red head and told that same old grumpy Mexican server what had happened. The old grumpy Mexican server said NOTHING and walked away . When he returned to drop our food off he said to my husband... what's your name ? My husband innocently replied and said his name . The old grumpy Mexican man server said " you're fine , you remember your name " and walked away . What the hell is wrong with people today ? Could you not at least show one second of empathy???? How about I'm sorry this happened due to our negligence!! NOPE NOTHING! This might be acceptable behaviour for this particular server but it's disgusting behaviour for a business. Look , you're an establishment has been around a long time so this little review means nothing to people who are like this but I do a lot of reviews and maybe just maybe this one review might actually make the business shake their head and remember that taking regular customers for granted is really arrogant. Not returning . Far too many great places to find Mexican food . read more

The food is decent, but it's no longer affordable. Prices jumped $6 to $10 per dish, which adds up for a family of four (plus they charge you extra for all the containers if you get takeout). $100+ for a couple of burritos and arroz con pollo? Seriously! read more

I read the reviews. I really wanted to like this place. The people we nice and friendly but the food was below average. I had the Chili Relleno and Chicken enchilada on the lunch menu. The chips and salsa left a lot to be desired and I'm usually not very picky but they were both bland. I enjoyed the flavor of the Chili Rellano but I won't be back. read more

After several years absence we returned to the Chihuahua for lunch. My wife ordered the special, enchilada and rellano, and I ordered #11, burrito and rellano. When they were served they were identical plates. Now enchiladas and burritos are similar, meat wrapped in a tortilla, but I know the difference! The refried beans were watery and the rellenos were the worst I ever had. Soggy pablano pepper stuffed with - nothing! When the bill came, it was $8.95 for the special and $14.95 for the #11. Paid the bill and left. Won't be going back! read more

First of all the food is bland, I don't want to slam too hard but I've had microwave enchiladas better than this. My drink was served with a lime so dry that it literally fell apart while squeezing and didn't even give me a drop of juice. The server has been too preoccupied to even have an interaction with me longer than 10 seconds while I am one of four tables seated in the entire restaurant. I have asked for a glass of water twice now and still haven't gotten one even though I have been readily served my alcoholic beverage. After being here an hour and a half I flat out feel ignored. When my combo of two enchiladas was served it was literally just brown and yellow.... Enchiladas with red sauce, Mexican blend shredded cheese, rice, and beans... no lettuce or tomato. The ground beef filling tasted like something I would eat in my state-provided middle school lunches. I found this all out after burning myself on the plate... the server didn't even have the courtesy of warning me of that while he dropped the plate off at my table and rushed away before I could get a single sentence out. While I do recognize that I am writing this on a Friday at lunch time and the vibe might not be what the owner had intended at this time, the restaurant still feels anemic and dry just like the lime served with my drink. The only redeeming qualities I can find are the generous helpings of rice and beans as well as the (extremely) boozy $4.99 happy-hour margs. If you find yourself in Ferndale and craving Mexican food just do yourself a favor and drive 20 minutes south to Bellingham to literally any other Mexican restaurant, the cost of gas will be worth it. P.S. while writing this at my table and getting my check I asked a third time and got my water after being here and hour-and-a-half. Third time is a charm I guess. read more

I finally made it to Chihuahua. It has been on my list since I arrived in Whatcom County over two years ago. I wish that I could say that my first experience will draw me back, but that would be a lie. Service was decent, especially after asking for a clean water glass. The first was dirty with crusty old cheese. I ordered the vegetarian burrito; very large with little flavor. My partner ordered the taco salad. Both meals were nothing special. I won't be back. The search for good Mexican food will continue. read more

Food was decent. Pretty much what you would expect from an Americanized Mexican restaurant. The service was poor. Had to wait long periods of time for our order to be taken and to get a to go box and a check. Might give it one more try but won't come back if we have the same experience. read more

We have become somewhat regulars at Chihuahua's for about 7 months and I will say it's pretty good food and the servers are somewhat hit and miss. The have Negro Modelo on tap, which is a plus for us and the Sangria is pretty good. I love their Enchilada & Tamale lunch combo and Honey gets the Chicken Mole which is almost always spot on. I had their Taco Beef Salad and it was actually one of the best ones I ever had. The shell was crispy and an equal amount of fillings. It wasn't too liquidly or greasy--just perfect. If you like Fried Jalapeños, they are good IF you can get them to the table. Most times they forget them. Overall, it's a decent restaurant with good specials, fair prices and OK service. read more

So funny how a surly waiter can be such a turn off, food was ok. Ambiance was not, maybe $ 4.50 margaritas draws the wrong crowd, but listening to loud trash talk does not encourage return customers. read more

We've been customers of Chihuahua for nearly two decades! In fact, it used to be a regular stop after church on Sundays because we could sit in the back next to the fountain and it would keep our twins occupied while we waited for lunch to arrive. They've since added even more space (and another fountain!), but kept up on their good food, super-friendly service, and of course their famous margaritas. They also have my favorite Mexican beer, Negra Modelo, on tap which is not easy to find in these here parts. My go-to item on the menu is often their delicious tortilla soup, which arrives piping hot in a huge bowl, and is adorned with fresher-than-fresh avocados. I'm seriously salivating for this soup just thinking about it. They also offer the standard Mexican restaurant fare of enchiladas, tacos, etc., but also some specialty items including a delicious posole that is often posted as a special. You can get it with chicken or pork. On a recent visit I was in the mood for a chile relleno, which was part of one of their lunch combos and a great deal at just $6.95. Including my pint of beer the meal was a great deal. And I can't say enough about the service, which is always...ALWAYS...friendly, quick, professional, and helpful. read more

When they speak of Staples in your diet I don't believe anyone was meaning eat actual staples. Yes we realize accidents happen, and we're fine with letting it slide, but then we got the bill and what was supposed to be the lunch menu prices and it was all the dinner prices, which we asked to have changed and they fixed it willingly, but it is also the second time different server that this has happened to us. As far as service it was quick, but speed is not everything there needs to be quality as well in the product one is serving. The food is stuffed with meat which is great, just disappointed, the the billing error, and we prefer not to ingest zinc covered steel pieces of metal. read more

I haven't eaten dinner here in many years, but it was always my favorite. I came in today for happy hour and had really fantastic margaritas or three dollars, and ma three dollar taco that was wonderful! I did a check-in and accidentally hit high Pricelines-sure how to correct this. I think it is actually moderately priced. I recommend anyone come try this place is definitely a wonderful environment and a fun excursion! Why not come have an adventure? Junior was a fun bartender, and all the folks who were cares seem to be very nice. read more

Nasty crusty food, and way overpriced. I wouldn't even wish this food on my worst enemy.

I have had nothing, but amazing experiences here. This is also a follow up response to the individual whom rated this location a 2 star review due to their experience. This former rater, went on to explain how their partner was neglected after hurting themselves when attempting to use the restroom. This reviewer also went on to illustrate the worker by naming him the "older Mexican cranky man" and this person continued to repeat this phrase various times throughout their review. I would like to, in a sense, give other customers a better understanding, due to the fact that I find it absolutely disgusting how somebody can openly choose to go to a location that is Mexican and go on to insultingly say this phrase in their review. I was genuinely disappointed to see that people are still this uneducated and simply have no moral decency. You don't stop to think that maybe there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication, instead you label the server and are quick to act on your own privilege's. Of course a restaurant is to hopefully be kept up to current standards, but if you like to judge people and only call them by their ethnicity... maybe attempt going someplace else. I truly hope that Chihuahuas gets to have better experiences with sincere and kind customers. Just because you are going out to eat and be served by others, does not mean that you treat them as less than an individual like yourself. The entitlement is very unnecessary. There is no need to belittle anybody nor address their ethnicity. It speaks volumes. Things happen, and sometimes are not in the control of the servers or other individuals who are working. All in all, I would like to explain how peaceful and kind it has been when going to this restaurant. If it's a fairly non-busy day, the food is out quickly, even on the days it is busy, they are efficient with their time. The servers are very kind hearted, and ALMOST normally the customers are sweet too. read more

I have not been here in years and I was craving Mexican food so we decided to go go here. I was really surprised to see how busy it was on a Tuesday there was a 30 minute weight everybody was very polite. I guess I was just super disappointed in food. I really wanted a Carnegie soda platter but it was super ridiculously listensive so I just chose to get a combination plate. I was also craving a really good chili relleno. The combination plate I had a would have had Chilli relleno, enchilada, and a taco. When my plate came it looked just like my nephew's plate which we ordered something totally different so I was a little bit confused. They did bring me my taco on a separate plate. It was supposed to be a nice crunchy taco but when I ate it 10 minutes into my meal it was just all soggy. It came with some lettuce and shredded cheese it was pretty flavorless there was nothing on the table to put on my taco there was no salsa there was nothing. It was really hard for me to tell the difference between my chili relleno and my enchilada. My chili relleno a tiny little pepper filled with next to nothing I couldn't even tell you what kind of batter it had. I was just so disappointed I won't be going there again. There was a really big helping of beans and rice which were both laborless and again no spices nothing on the table toon the table to spice it up. It's basically Mexican food made for Americans to make it think like it's authentic Mexican food it's tasteless. I really hope the owners of this restaurant read this and fix it although the restaurant was crowded on a Tuesdays so they probably think they're doing something right but for somebody whoCraves good food this will not be a restaurant I'm ever going back to anytime soon. The Mexican food and that little Mexican shop in Blaine next to the Starbucks has more flavourful food in one bite than in a whole plate of this food from chihuahuas. I wish I would have taken photos but I hate being that person in the restaurant that takes photos of their food. read more

My husband and I love Chihuahuas! There food is excellent and always come out quickly. The shredded beef is to die for!! Great price drinks and food & the salsa is amazing too! Highly recommend for good Mexican food! read more

Our favorite place to go for Mexican food in the area. They used to serve the most incredible street tacos on Friday nights, but unfortunately they recently stopped doing that. However we still find plenty of tasty things on the menu. It's a busy spot and sometimes the servers can seem pretty rushed. And since they're in the heart of the one of the craft beer capitals of the world, I wish they had a slightly bigger beer selection. However it's still our go to place for Mexican in Ferndale. read more

Sadly my favorite mexican restaurant in town has succumbed to mediocrity. While the margaritas remain my favorite part of the whole Chihuahuas experience, I can't say the same for the food. Tonight our salsa had so much chili sauce in it even my asbestos mouth husband couldn't eat it. The beef fajitas were greasy and noticeably devoid of beef, just piles of foul tasting onion and a few peppers, and a minuscule amount of thinly shaved brown stuff. Totally unacceptable. The condiments that accompanied them were underwhelming. A tablespoon of nasty tasting guacamole that was half diced tomatoes and tasted suspiciously like fish, another tablespoon of sour cream and some more diced tomatoes and a pinch of shredded lettuce. UNACCEPTABLE. I can't believe how cheap and nasty this meal was. read more

As soon as you enter the restaurant you will question your decision of picking this restaurant. The tastes like straight Tabasco sauce and is more along the lines of a purée'd mush. The quality of the chimichanga I ordered not only looked like something I could pick up in the frozen food section at Costco, but had the taste to match it. I doubt the inside of the restaurant had ever seen a duster or even a simple damp cloth to wipe it down. I'm not even sure a fresh coat of paint could revive it. The queso is terrible and and the serving size of chips served along with it wouldn't even be an adequate serving portion for one. I was completely dissatisfied with my experience and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

I had lunch with my brother on 12/11/21 around 230.. the food was fair , at best. My enchillada had no flavor what-so -ever as did my brother's . the service as poor, as the waiter failed to come by after the food was served to ask how it is, or if we needed anything. This is disappointing because back in the day "CHihuahua"'s was the best mexican food around. read more

We went to celebrate my daughter's new home very close from there but the experience was terrible my son got stomach sick from a chicken enchilada my wife ordered a molcajete that looked like a horrible dip chess and my tortilla soup was terrible more like tomato soup I'm Mexican but that's not Mexican food the only thing I can say is that the place is nice and the service is aseptable but the food is disgusting it was my first and last time read more
