YUMMY HIDDEN GEM! I don't know why I hadn't tried this place sooner! In one sentence: You need to try this restaurant. I moved to Walla Walla about 4 years ago and have only been going to El Sombrero off of 2nd Ave. and spots like Taqueria Yungapeti and Mi Pueblito. But for some reason, this restaurant just feels like the better Mexican restaurant to dine in. It has better tasting food and bigger portion sizes than El Sombrero. The service was super friendly and the ambiance just felt nice. My only harp--and it's the only reason I knocked off one star--was that it took forever for the waiter to bring our check and I found myself asking for my water cup to be refilled a couple of times. But overall, this restaurant is a hidden gem and I highly recommend you give this resto a try. read more

Very nice service. Margaritas were excellent. I tried the Mole, which had a peanut base. It was a bit different, but really enjoyed it.

Best chile rellanos we've ever had! If we are ever in town again we will make sure to go back!

Building looks worn out. Salsa and chips just meh. This place needs a face lift and some help in the kitchen. The highlight was the server. She was amazing and super friendly read more

Service was terrible! We were only ones in the restaurant and had to wait for service! Food was terrible. Mushy tomatoes, refried beans were watered down. Restaurant was empty, employees were more concerned about social interaction amongst themselves rather than being attentive to customers. Mushy chips found in pico de gallo. Recycled? Very disappointing and would not recommend. read more

Nice little local restaurant with tasty Mexican food. Very accommodating staff and following protocols for Covid. I enjoyed my chicken enchilada. Salsa was homemade and chunky with fresh veggies. We enjoyed our meal although we felt out dishes were a little bland. I should have asked for hot sauce. Next time! Worth a visit for solid Mexican fare! read more

Chiquillas Mexican House - Arty decor with murals on the wall and ceiling. - Mexican Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

This restaurant use to be great. Something has changed. Terrible food. Chips made in old oil. Tacos only meat. No lettuce or cheese. Sour cream and guacamole cost extra. Ice tea no flavor at $3.99. Will not be going back. read more

Everything was on-point. The Habernero salsa was so dang spicy and flavorful I couldn't stop eating it. Ordered the 7 Mares, rich flavor, would love to see some jumbo prawns or head on shrimp in it. Octopus and veggies cooked right and not overdone and mushy. And the price is right for the portions. Can't wait to try more options from menu. read more

The food and the service here are amazing. Great prices for big portions! I often use takeout and they are really fast. This is a great place if you want amazing Mexican Food. read more

Very nice atmosphere, terrific customer service and generally affordable, yet a bit on the high side. This is a great family restaurant for sit down meals and has an extra room for large gatherings. They fulfilled all my expectations and gave me extra sauce and modified my order without hesitation or extra fees. Check it out! read more

Very fast service that was kind, helpful and the food was delicious too! The chips are actually warm and homemade

A friendly family owned business with great service and authentic Mexican food. We visit often!!

Food was terrible, haad no flavor and service wasn't very good either. I won't be going back.

Thursday night dinner with some co workers looking for some Mexican and we decided on Chiquillas. I liked the look and feel of the restaurant and there were only a few people eating. The chips and two different salsas were delicious which ended up bringing back more. I ordered an appetizer of the deep fried taquitos but they ended up coming out right before our meal. Didn't even have enough time to get through them all but we eventually polished them off. Everyone enjoyed their meals but I would recommend a looking into a different cut of meat for the carne asada. read more

What a wonderful surprise! I had the carne asada and Diablo shrimp. Fantastic surprise off the beaten path.

Good food, big portions they have an interesting enchilada trio which you get a verde, an ala crema, and a red sauce one, the chili relleno was not great, the chalupa was big and pretty good, rice was good, beans were good, pretty big portions, they have two salsas one has cabbage, we went a half hour before closing and did not feel rushed at all really good service read more

Recently in Walla Walla for business and tried different businesses after getting recommendations from locals. Also checked Yelp reviews as a final determination. Due to work, called for to go order. Had the carne asada dinner. The portions were great with the meat, beans and salad. The food was great and would definitely recommend, and for next visit will try actually eating at the location. read more

While visiting this lovely town, we decided to try this older Mexican restaurant. Glad we did! very good salsa and chips. Our meals were served promptly. Very good portions! Would definitely visit again. read more

Our Father's Day was complete with dining here! My husband enjoyed the Beef Tapatio Burrito with rice and beans. I had the Beef Fajitas Rancheres with Bacon Wrapped Shrimp also served with rice and beans. The food was delicious!!!!! Our servers were awesome, friendly, courteous and so much fun. This is such a great place to come to. Beer is cold and the Bloody Maria's have a nice kick to them! Thank you again for a great time. read more

Driving around Walla Walla and decided Mexican would be a good choice. Turns out the choice was good but the food and service was not. I was sat in an empty section. Not sure why as the two other sections each only had a few tables with customers. I was asked if I was ready to order a few seconds after I was handed the menu. Seriously, hand menu, and three beats later, menu not opened the expectation was I could order. I said I'd like a few minutes and got two. Ordered the carne assada. The beans were liquid, the rice ice,the meat fatty,chewy and all stuck together. Once the food was dropped off I didn't see the server until she handed me the bill. No water refills. No asking if I wanted anything else. It was...bill and get out. And the server was not a young person but someone old enough to know and do better. I would not go back and I can't think of a reason anyone should go once. read more

Walla Walla County along with the entire nation is going through a pandemic and is dealing with the Corona Virus, unfortunately. For the majority of us the normalcy of day to day living has completely changed and we are all as a community trying our hardest to be able to maintain someone of our "before Covid" lives. This brings me to La Chiquillas restaurant. My buddy and I were just outrageously famished and were craving a taste of Central America. Luckily La Chiquillas was located a short drive for us and was open. Not only just open for carry out but open for outdoor dining. Now take this into consideration. On this day it was actively snowing and about 10 degrees above freezing. When we arrived they had a phenomenal set up with multiple tables all placed the appropriate distance from each other. As well as having a heater that warmed me like I was on a beach in Hawaii. Also present were great protection from the elements that maintained some insulation as well as protected us from the snow that was falling like cats and dogs. We were met by the most wonderfully charismatic and friendly waitress who was so well spoken and polite. I experienced the greatest waitress to patron interaction I have ever had in Walla Walla in my 30 years of being ALIVE. The wait time for our food felt nonexistent as well as being one of the best dishes I have had in a long time. Not only was the food phenomenal but so was the conversation with the wait staff. The kindness at this restaurant knows no bounds and this is a true example of the hospitality that Walla Walla has to offer. Everyone should absolutely experience this restaurant. I promise you will leave satisfied read more

Really enjoyed dinner tonight. Staff was enjoyable and atmosphere is nice. Quite a bit of food, I'm stuffed and left some on my plate.

Great flavors, large margaritas, colorful decor, easy parking. Fajitas were great and there are several shrimp selections. read more

Chiquillas Mexican House - A La Diabla shrimp and margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

Doesn't look like much when you pass by but let me tell you DELICIOUS!!!! I got the shrimp wrapped with bacon, which is my favorite dish, not too many restaurants can make it right. Well this spot did it perfect! Better then anywhere else, literally! My wife isn't too enthused with Mexican Restaurants and she also gives this a 5 Start!!!! The complimentary chips and salsa are good too. We're from out of town so anytime we're in town, we will most definitely be here eating. Thank you very much for dinner. read more

After we walked out on Dominick's (see my review), we still needed dinner. So we and our friends decided to try Las Chiquillas. This is how a restaurant should be! What a breathtaking difference. We were immediately greeted by a very friendly waitress who seated us. Chips and salsa, boom...within seconds. The menus had the best choices I've seen in any Mexican restaurant. My wife, a vegetarian, had an entire page of vegetarian options to choose from. I thought it was odd they had the lunch menu tucked into the menus until my friend told me to flip it over. TONS of seafood! Oh, yes. I had the 7 Mares, and it was sensational...kind of a Latino take on cioppino. Everyone really loved what they ordered - four for four. And the beers and margaritas are generous. The place was buzzing and everyone got great service from the three person wait staff, a HUGE contrast to the two waitresses trying to handle a half-filled Dominick's. They made a point to wave at us as we left - while they were singing happy birthday to another table. Fast. Friendly. And GREAT food. A home run. We'll be back. read more

[Note: unlike most Yelpers, I rarely give five stars.] Is every Mexican restaurant in Walla Walla the best Mexican restaurant in Walla Walla? Actually, most of them are very good; so far, none of them have blown me away as being The Best. So, as with most of them, Las Chiquillas has good points and bad points. The decor is pretty cool; an amazing display of hand-painted murals and decor that feels very appropriate and fun. It was a bit chilly; I got goosebumps, although I chill more easily than most people, so you probably won't need a sweater. Service was okay. My lemonade sat empty twice before our waiter came by to refill it, despite (or because) the fact there were only four or five other parties dining while we were there. On the other hand, when I asked our waiter for recommendations, she was happy to offer guidance, which I appreciated. My dining partner got Camarones Mexicano (shrimp), and I got Combo #2 (it was on special as part of their one-year anniversary), which was a tamale, taco, and enchilada. The menus were surprisingly good. Both in the "there are a lot of items to choose from, many of them interesting and tasty-sounding" as well as the "this is an easy-to-read, attractive and appealing object" sense. The customary chips were the usual, but came with two sauces, a smooth red spicy one, and a salsa that seemed to be mostly cabbage, rather than the usual tomato-based one. I'm not generally a big fan of cabbage, but I really liked the salsa. It was a nice change from the usual. The combo plate was also outfitted with the usual rice and beans. There was a generous amount of cheese, and the taco was positioned so that lettuce and tomato spilled across the plate. In a good way; it was a presentation thing, and quite attractive. It turned out that it also concealed the fact that the tamale was unusually big. The tamale and enchilada (chicken) were both pleasant but typical examples of the class. No complaints, but not world-shaking, either. The taco was better. I don't think it was a hand-made corn shell, but once I picked it up, the lettuce that remained was just the right amount. The ground beef was spiced well; flavorful but not needlessly hot. Speaking of hot, I realized that our waiter hadn't issued the usual warning about the plate being hot, so I checked it with my hand. Hey! What a concept: serving food on a plate that's *warm*. Warm enough to keep the food from cooling, not so hot that you have to caution the patrons. If you're jonesing for a taco-truck-like experience, you'll probably be happier at Yungapeti or Mi Pueblito. If you want to sit down and have a somewhat more formal meal, Las Chiquillas is a good bet. read more

What a MEAL. I've never been so full in my life! Huge healing servings of tasty (above average) US style Mexican food. This place has to be family run. Great big margaritas for reasonable prices and as you'd expect, they don't skimp on the drink. You'll wonder if you'll ever need to eat again! read more

Terrible service and small portions. Slow. Took 35 minutes before we could order and everybody's drinks were empty for 10 minutes and we still had to ask for refills. read more

We eat here every couple of weeks. Love the Gold margarita on the rocks with cazadorez, good beer selection, Dos Equis on tap. Favorites hands down are the Fajitas Rancheros which comes with some shrimp wrapped in bacon. We also love the pollo or Camerones Diabla. The sauce is homemade and a bit spicy, but not blow your head off spicy. Veggies are always fresh. Waitstaff are attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. It's our go to place for sit down Mexican. We recently had a party in their banquet room for 50 people, food was great, service a 10/10. Muchas Gracias! read more

Quick service. Huge portions. More importantly very tasty food. They have a separate vegetarian section in their menu Very spacious read more

Upon arriving we didn't know what doors to enter through so we just chose one. It must of been the wrong entrance because the hostess wasn't too happy. The service was very slow, but the salsa was tasty. I ordered the arroz con pollo expecting a flavorful dish. However that was not the case. The tortillas were very good though. The chicken was very dry and the menu claimed it came with a side of rice and beans, but I never got any. The food was a lukewarm temperature, but the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. read more

Update: We had takeout again...the pollo a la diabla was actually spicy and well-made. Husband had the pork burrito tapatio (without beans of course) which was delicious as well. Quickly becoming our favorite place for Mexican in Walla Walla...besides Dora's, of course! read more

Was so excited to visit this restaurant after looking at the pictures of the dishes on yelp. We got to the restaurant and didn't know what doors to enter. We must have entered the wrong ones because the hostess didn't seem happy to greet us. We were sat at a table and given chips and salsa. It was very good. The waitress took awhile to come take our order. We were given our drinks, but didn't get refills when they were needed. Our food came out and that is when our disappointment began. The food was warm, not hot. Our dishes didn't come with beans. The meat was dry and over cooked. On a plus side, the margarita, salsa, and tortillas were amazing. read more

Always enjoy a great meal at Chiquillas! Delicious food & outstanding customer service...be back soon!

Food was okay, it was busy and hostess put us in a dark corner. I don't think our waitress knew we were there for 15 mins. About the time she did a 10 top near us order came out so took longer to get to us. Not her fault but she was running around so much she never could get us refills and charged for an item we never got. That was corrected when we paid. But the kicker is when we paid, the lady at the till forgot our change and when she did hand it back she rolled her eyes and walked off. read more
