    Frosted mugs for margs!!
    Melissa K.

    I am eating all my past words about this place. I first came here right when it opened in Reno and wasn't impressed. On 4th of July I was craving Mexican food and all my regular stomping grounds were closed-Chihuahua's was OPEN! I rolled my eyes and said fine. So happy all the other places were closed! This is now my new Mexican go to!! Not sure what changed but I've been two days in a row now and can't wait to go back. Service-100% Never have to wait for drinks, food or the bill Food-100% Flavors galore! Burritos-stuffed full! Chimichanga-not too fried! Enchiladas- green and red sauce?! So good! And the best part, frosted mugs for the margaritas. Perfect for days after yard work, being in the sun all day, or just on hot days. I feel ashamed for not feeling the love for this place years ago. But I'm here now!

    3/21/26 So to start we had reservations for a large party of 13. FYI they have a reservation charge that they apply to bill. 1st time I heard of this but good to know. We all arrived and we were seated and a large nice table by Anna the Hostess. Karen was our server and she took great care of us all. We all ordered drinks and they came quick We got 2 pitchers of Margaritas 1 spicy and 1 reg. Both were really good . Everyone ordered food and came pretty quick . Everyone seems to enjoy their food. I had the 5 Tacos pastor w/ rice and beans and was delicious. They also had live music which was cool just had a little feedback with mic every once and while but was still nice . All in all a great evening with Friends and Family. Enjoy !!!!

    My daughter and I were in Reno to meet a family member and she found this restaurant on Yelp. The server, Eduardo was extremely nice and helpful. We ordered ceviche off the Happy Hour menu. My daughter ordered the shrimp tacos. She said they were excellent. She is still talking about them. I had the tacos birria and they were outstanding. Fresh, the meat was cooked to perfection. Eduardo gave us the best service I have had in a long time. If you are in the Reno/ Sparks area stop by. This place was incredible.

    What a refreshing, welcoming place. So different from what used to be at this location. Outside seating available and a large bar area. Plenary of booths and tables as well. Fun selfie area in the bar. Friendly bartenders! Large drink menu ...top shelf margarita on the rocks was needed and it was amazing! Salted enough to last for the whole drink!!! I was there between lunch and dinner. No small appetizers available so salsa, queso and chips. 2 types of salsa... I preferred the spicier one. Queso was mildly seasoned and it coated the chips well. Will be back for a full Meal.

    Enchilada and pork tamale red sauce was a little salty, but still tasty

    First time here and we will definitely be going back walked in. They had awesome music playing from a DJ felt like you were in Ensenada Mexico. Service was great and the food was delicious. Overall five stars all around and we got to watch a little fire show. We will definitely be going back.

    Wonderful Friday night dinner,and listening to "First Take", mellow jazz and love songs. Great way to decompress after an intense work week. Delicious Chile relleno, guacamole and chips, and a blended margarita. Busy on a Friday night but lots of parking. Service was stellar. Surprisingly fast. Great way to end the week. Relaxing music, good food, and superb service!

    Had a great experience last week for a business meal, we had around 20 people and everything went incredibly smooth. Drinks were flowing the entire time, chips were kept stocked, all the appetizers came out quick as can be, and every single plate came out correct and piping hot. I had 2 days of Mexican food leading up to this so I opted for a ribeye steak. I can't lie, this steak was one of the best I've had in Reno, anywhere. I was quite surprised by it. As far as ambiance they had us seated in the room toward the back which was pretty private, great place for a big group. This visit definitely cemented the fact that Chihuahua's is a go to spot when we are hosting visitors from all over the place. Great job.

    Updating my previous revue! What a great place for meeting up with friends! Friendly servers, good food and great bar options! Our food was fresh and hot ! The options are numerous. There were 3 really big parties going on and our service in the bar area was still great. Please try them out!

    The food was amazing and came out quick! The atmosphere is very chill, music not too loud so we can enjoy it and still eat. Flori, our server, was awesome! Very helpful and brought the food out quick and also accommodated us with some extra items for our order. I got the flautas and a michelada , both were delicious !

    I ordered takeout. The service was lacking as they did not include utensils even though I requested them. I cannot speak to the ambiance as I had takeout. Now for the food: The chips were outstanding tasty & pefectly salted. I ordered The Masterpiece with a side of guacamole & sour cream.. The steak was world class. The chili relleno was good. The rice was ok. The beans were phenomenal. The chicken enchilada was a bit dry, but the guacamole & sour cream made it edible.

    Decided to do a to-go order and was easily able to make my order online via their website. Our order was ready on time and prompt service. We got the chicken nachos and birria tacos, they were delicious and so flavorful. Finding good birria is hard and they did not disappoint.

    Hubby and I really enjoyed our dinner at Chihuahua's Cantina and Grill. Lovely ambiance inside and made us feel like we we're immersed in a Cantina! We loved the street tacos; they were really flavorful. And, we loved the chicken wing marinade (pineapple jalapeños) but the wings were overcooked and only thin slivers of grilled pineapple were plated. Chips and salsa were fresh and tasted good. Our server checked on us regularly and took good care of us. Looking forward to trying more items from their menu!

    Parrillada platter. Pay attention to that hidden pork chop as it is the star of the dish. Missing a guacamole

    It's been so long since I've had a chance to stop here. We moved out of town for an awhile. Now we are back. We were Looking forward to seeing Oscar, our favorite bartender from the past. But apparently he's no longer working here. But that's OK because we still had a great time and a great bartender. His name was Eduardo. Very friendly, polite, and professional. And he made it perfect Cadillac margarita. I really miss this place. The best Mexican food in town and really great workers. What we ordered : Cadillac margarita Miami Vice El Volcan Molcajete (split) We sat in the bar area . They have a row of half booths. As I said earlier, the bartender was great. He took my drink order right away. They let him know my wife is on the way and asked him to have a Miami Vice ready for her. As soon as my wife sat down, the drink was there for her. I did seem to take a little while for the dinner . But it was amazing as usual. I like the way they give two small plates of rice and beans for two people. Everything was perfect. I will definitely be back

    Is this is the same Chihuahuas as the location in Winnemucca? I used to go to the one in Winnemucca once a week while working out there. I left and moved back to Cali but I will be in Reno in two weeks and am looking for a good Mexican restaurant.

    Yes it’s the same owner and restaurant.

    Do they make veggie chimichangas?

    I am not sure. I’m sure they could if you asked.

    Decided to try out this new-to-me eatery, and it did not disappoint. Truly, the vibes of this cozy…read morerestaurant is sure to welcome you in and draw you to stay and hang out with friends, especially on a nice day, you can sit outside in their patio! It's a quick, sit-down service, so it's speedy, efficient, and you can get on with eating and good times with company. Ordered was Gina's Kale Salad, which was refreshing and delicious. It certainly was a good healthy bowl that was filling. Additionally, the Elote bowl was good, however, more flavor and spice would be nice, but otherwise, it was a great stop-in! Can't wait to try more of their dishes!

    I heard from a friend that this place is really good and we all met to catch up. When entering,…read morethey have the register and tables to the side. The tables are big enough for large groups. People say their bagels are amazing so we had to try. We ordered the following: - Breakfast Sando: The bagel was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The egg was fluffy. Not a fan of kale, but it was surprisingly good. - Mochi Waffle: I love the chewy texture! It was a lot larger than I expected so I couldn't finished it all. The ube whipping was delicious and not too sweet. We got numbers at our table after paying and once the food is ready, they serve it to your table. This is a good place to order food and hang out/chat. There is seating outside as well.
