    Great food and attentive service. We started with a couple great guacamole and chips along with a bucket of beers. The 4 of us had 3 different molcajete all of which were huge and we had a large take home box to go. The bill came to $200 for the 5 of us plus a $40 tip. We went on a week night and avoided the usual crowd with loud music and mariachi bands.

    Be adventurous and get off the strip. The menu is extensive, offering a wide range of options. I am always skeptical of extensive menus. I ordered a torta and was not disappointed. Delicious, soft bread; the meat was seasoned well and very large--plenty of food for two people. I think people wouldn't give it a try because of the location. I don't see many tourists trying this place. Give it a try.

    Although it's not in the best neighborhood in Las Vegas , the food was worth taking the risk for. They're known for their Molcajate, which are basically an assortment of meats and ingredients inside a stone bowl. The bowl came out piping hot and the carne asada and chicken were very juicy and flavorful. I believe they made the tortillas in house as they tasted very fresh and had a nice chew to it. I also got their margarita which had a generous amount to it and I definitely did not need seconds. The atmosphere is lively and friendly with a mariachi band playing in the background which made it even more fun. The locals here seem to enjoy it so it's definitely a good sign you should try it too!

    Great service and food Minus the 1 star for ambiance. I came here for the first time ever after living in this side of town for almost my whole life. They just allow anyone's dad or uncle in here to sing songs and it was really nice until it was disturbing. 3 guys come in with a guitar and ask to sing you a song for tips and then another 3 and then another 3. It was weird and obnoxious honestly. We gave in to let one group sing a song Then they asked for a $30 tip. Odd. Solution: This place would do well with a permanent stage for performers to rotate*

    Molcajete - beef, chicken, shrimp, prawns, nopales and avocado.

    Decided to try this place based on the YELP REVIEWS, let me tell you! It didn't disappoint! The food was so, so delicious! They had live music and the service was good! I ordered a margarita and it was ok, not the best I've had but the molcajete was bomb! Enough for my husband and I, the portion was very large, we couldn't finish the whole thing. Definitely going back when I am back in Vegas!

    The food, the service and the restaurant were all 5 stars! The restaurant was clean, warm and beautifully decorated. The chairs are comfy and tables nicely spaced. The team was super accommodating with our surprise party of 9 and super kind. They brought out a complimentary birthday shot and dessert - haven't had that in a long time! The queso dip was so yummy and filling I could have left with just that and been filled up. The steak items were cooked perfectly and the enchiladas had an aftertaste I can't place but had me going back for bite after bite!

    Tried this place out since we're nearby and heard great things. It's a cute restaurant. Friendly staff and food was good. We opted to share the macho molcajete. And we had a carne asada sope. There was some mariachis that came in to sing as well very festive.

    Delicious molcajetes. Had a few over the years and they don't tend to disappoint. They're also fully loaded, no skimping on portion sizes.

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

    A que hora empieza el mariachi los Domingos?

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.
