Wanted a quick bite after spending most of the day at the hospital with a friend. It was three of is, one in a wheelchair. It did not dissappoint. No fancy decor. The staff was really friendly and the food was outstanding. I was introduced to Cado de Camerones. Yummy! The guys had the tex mex enchalada plate. Food was hot and delicious. The guacamole could be its own meal. Highly recommend. read more

Specials everyday, all food from the kitchen looked good, patrons were happy, and our breakfast burritos were totally homemade and yummy. Small family business still trying to acclimate, but food does not suffer. Give it a try... read more

El Chaton - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Wichita Falls, Texas

The birria tacos is my favorite to get it taste amazing! The service is quick and your food comes out hot every time!!

We went to the new restaurant on Holliday and they have the best mole!!! I love it. The service is so friendly and the food comes out hot and fast and delicious. My husband had the chili relleno and loved it. And it's so cute and clean inside. So glad to have them in the neighborhood! read more

Im from out of town so I wasn't familiar with their menu. I decided to call in my order & even over the phone they were SO nice. I got my tacos made exactly how I asked them and they where SO good! I'm currently craving the fajita quesadilla super good as well, sucks that I'm 6 hours away because I'd definitely go more often! read more

Food and service were great. Not too salty! Fresh vegetables and daily specials. The lady who served us was so sweet!

Great spot for good Mexican cuisine we had the breakfast and the burritos were huge and filling. Great flavor and taste and the staff was so helpful and kind. Small location but worth it for a hearty breakfast! read more

Love the food here. Serving sizes are enormous. The breakfast burrito is my normal. Go to.

Delicious! I've only been once so far, but I am very pleased. I had the barbacoa gorditas and they were amazing. The service staff were extremely nice. I will definitely be back. read more

We tried this place a few times when moving here to Wichita Falls and it was ok at first but after 3-4 visits it gradually became so bad we just stopped going. There were roaches crawling behind the counter in the wall and metal shavings in a burrito. When we mentioned this and showed staff they shrugged it and f as normal and "it happens" I would advise you avoid this place. read more

Mexican food is great. I ordered Birria tacos and was delicious - beef is tender, spiced just right, crispy taco shells.

Great place for Tex-Mex food. Friendly staff. Food came quick and was delicious. Salsa was very fresh and had a nice kick. I had Juanca's plate with corn tortillas and it was fantastic. read more

Great food, served fast! Everyone was so nice. Mexican sodas, too! I hope the next time I travel through Wichita Falls it will be during El Chatón business hours. read more

I see why this place gets good reviews. It isn't fast food so you may need to be patient. Good food takes a minutes. And boy oh boy, the food is so good. There was a steady stream of people getting takeout at lunch time on this Sunday. FYI, if you don't want to be the only white guy in the place, this might not be you place. That being said, my wife and I never felt the least bit uncomfortable. What a fantastic staff and such a friendly clientele. Good food. Good prices. Good service. Good company. What's not to live? read more

This is not a fancy place. Just plain, good, scratch made Mexican food. And you know it must be good because not only is Spanish spoken in the kitchen, it's the principal language of all the customers too! You order at a counter then sit or wait for carry out. They prepare food to order, but it comes out quick. They serve everything with a side bottle of house made green tomatillo sauce or blow your lips off red sauce. Lots of options here. All good. No beer or liqueur and it's small. But great lunch stop for sure. read more

El Chaton - Sopa plate. One shredded chicken, one shredded pork. Thick pan fried corn tortillas with all the good stuff on top. - Mexican Near Me - Wichita Falls, Texas

Awesome spot for authentic Mexican food. I took advantage of their taco Tuesday special - $5.99 for 2 tacos, beans and rice. I got one Barbacoa on the recommendation of the owner, and one shredded chicken (as an aside, love than I can mix and match). The service was awesome too - I always appreciate being given good ordering recommendations and friendly conversation. There was an extensive menu of other items like enchiladas and sopes (plus a new special each day of the week!!) that I can't wait to come back for. And as one last tip- their red salsa is super spicy (they did warn me!). Like even as a spicy food lover a little bit went a loooong way, I'd recommend just going mild for flavor OR getting one each of spicy & mild to mix it up and dilute some of the spice. I sound weak, but I promise I can handle spice normally and this is good advice, haha. read more

Recommend to order ahead. They can get very busy during the lunch hour. Very good Mexican food

Cannot find fault with anything that our party ordered. All the flavors were perfect and all the ingredients good. Caldo de pescado y cameron excellent. Chile relleno was delicious without being oily, which is a sign of careful cooking. Carne asada was charry and delicious. Prompt and responsive service. Small but pleasant room. Bathroom in the back amongst working areas (not kitchen) was clean, unlike a previous reviewer's report. read more

I've been craving a place like this for a long time in Wichita Falls. I'm thrilled that I no longer have to go to Dallas or dream about places in Tucson any longer. Few things on this planet balance simplicity and satisfaction like good Mexican grilled chicken, and Pollos Asados El Chaton has a seemingly unending amount of it. From the moment you walk in, the smell of grilled chicken hits you in the face, and while they have plenty of not-grilled-chicken options like enchiladas and tortas, I cannot fathom coming here and not overdosing on grilled goodness. Service was very friendly. The girl at the counter was very helpful towards the gentleman in front of me who didn't seem to know what he wanted. When my friends and I ordered, she informed us of their amazing Wednesday special -- buy a meal with a whole chicken and get a half chicken for free. That's enough to feed 4-5 sensible people or 3 fatties (we're the latter). The chicken comes wrapped in aluminum foil, piping hot off the grill. The meals come with corn tortillas, a green and a red salsa (green FTW), pickled red onions, beans, and rice. Some people might need extra beans and rice, since they only give you about 8 oz of each for the 8 piece meal, which isn't much when split 3-5 ways, but considering how much chicken we had in front of us, it was enough. The flavor of the chicken? Not complex -- just simply delicious. I don't know what's in the seasoning or marinade, but it's not overpowering; it is just assertive enough to accentuate the natural flavors that occur through grilling. It tastes like the kind of thing your family's self-appointed grill master might cook for a backyard gathering. The opposite of fancy -- just some good ass homestyle grilled chicken. If you work at the hospital, this place is so close by, and the food comes out so quickly if you get chicken. Way better than any fast food option, that's for damn sure. Eat local and give it a try! read more

El Chaton - Small menudo with 4 tacos, barbecoa, pollo, asada and pork. - Mexican Near Me - Wichita Falls, Texas

This is the best burrito place ever. I have been to all of the restaurants here and this is the best by far and the cheapest. Very friendly staff, just not a large seating area. Breakfast or lunch you cant fail by eating here. Authentic Mexican food. read more

I absolutely love this place. It makes it that much better knowing it's locally family-owned. Although it seems tucked away as this little hole-in-the-wall style restaurant, it's no secret with anyone I know. It's always a must have for friends and family visiting WF, and it's a regular go to for my wife and I when we are craving a delicious breakfast (or lunch) burrito! You gotta get the bean added to it when you go! They use to sell homemade Flan, but sadly no more... the horchata is fresh and the staff is always friendly and eager to serve you up their amazing dishes read more

Best breakfast burritos around! Service is friendly and fast, but even faster if you call your order in ahead.

Plates, burritos, caldos, tacos - everything is great here and the menudo is without a doubt, the best I've ever had. And unlike most places, they serve it every day - not just weekends. Super friendly folks and big portions make this place a no brainer. read more

El Chaton - Large menudo. REALLY good. Huge bowl. - Mexican Near Me - Wichita Falls, Texas

The food is great, and this place has some of the best pricing in Wichita Falls. Service is good, there is limited seating available but to-go might be your best bet. Call ahead and go pick up your order. read more

Fast, delicious. Wife had perfect chili relleno and I the mole chicken. both corn and flour tortillas were hot, moist and Ole! Would return many times if we lived here. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! The enchiladas are heaven, the rice has corn in it,and the staff are extremely friendly. The place is a little hard to find, I passed it twice! It's a few blocks off the freeway so if you're passing through this is a great find! The prices are very very affordable! They have $5.99 lunch specials. This is authentic Mexican food. I'm pretty sure these might be the best cheese enchilada I've ever had. Between Texas and California I've had my fair share of Mexican food and this is a top rated on in my books. Nothing fancy about the spot but they sure put some love in their food! Thanks yelp!! read more

El Chaton - Enchilada plate smells amazingly delicious - Mexican Near Me - Wichita Falls, Texas

So I came here because of the name "pollo asado" in the title which is roasted chicken in spanish. Once arrived I found out that they no longer sell what they are named after. I still gave it a shot since I was already here. The food is Tex-Mex and I had the enchiladas. They were alright but that's about it. The place is a hole in the wall, people are nice and genuine. If you are fan of Tex-Mex this place with do the work. Not really a place for a date or business meetings. read more

This is one of my favorite places in town. The food is always fresh and hot. It is seasoned great and they have big portions enough for lunch and dinner. They have a large selection and a variety of options. The taste is very authentic and the workers/owners are very kind and hospitable. I definitely recommend this place. 100% read more

Great food great service highly recommend this place . I came for lunch on my way back to Dallas

Breakfast burritos were outstanding. The green sauce was extremely good. Also had the taco platter. And the street tacos. Everything was good. This is a to go only place right now. So call in your order. It's decent if not somewhat expensive Mexican food. Would definitely go back though. Support local. read more

Best Mexican restaurant I have been to in town. Authentic Mexican food, family run and operated. Service was quick and kind, food was delicious and fresh. The shrimp cocktail was outstanding, a must try if you go. Also have had their breakfast tacos, enchiladas, and carne Asada plate, all were very delicious, fresh, and affordably priced. Will definitely be back to try out more of the menu and that delicious shrimp cocktail again. I highly recommend you check this little gem out if you get the chance! read more

We stopped here as it was near the hospital. We were pleasantly surprised. The barbacoa was delicious and not super greasy. We ordered the street tacos, barbacoa plate, and menudo. They have green and red salsa. The green is milder. The red is made with Chile árbol so it does have a kick to it. I would highly recommend this place if you seek authentic Mexican food. read more

Amazing menudo!! Awesome local Wichita Falls business to support with great food. On the small side for dining in but great if you get a table. read more
