    Carnitas tacos here we go....
    Dennis H.

    We were surprised to find the yellow mobile Cocina on the northeast corner of the intrsection. We decided to keep it simple, street tacos and a drink. Four carnitas and two asada later, our appetites sated and our brows sweating, we were done. Time to wash it down with the Mandarin Jarritos. Green sauce is hot but the red sauce is way hotter. All in all, a nice place to stop for tacos. No seating tho....oh well...

    We were excited to eat here, but left disappointed. The food was good, but definitely isn't worth…read morethe steep price. They refuse to serve tap water and only allow you to purchase water bottles (cheap, generic kind), which is ridiculous. They give you salsa, but you have to pay for chips. The restaurant itself was very noisy from fans/music/staff and it was hard to talk at our table. $70 (before tip) for 2 orders of tacos, 1 non-alcoholic beverage, and chips/guac is absurd. We won't be back.

First off, huge shoutout to the staff at both locations. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. We had a group of about 12 showing up and ordering at different times, plus another large party there, and they handled it all really well. The patio has such a great Midtown vibe, and I'm always happy supporting local small businesses. We ordered a little bit of everything: ribeye gorditas with homemade tortillas, street tacos, quesadillas, loaded papas, elote, and I even attempted the AYCE tacos. The carnitas was some of my favorite in town, the guac was delicious, and my friend loved the skirt steak tacos. Plus, the three salsas they serve are all so good. Tacos are always subjective, but I'd absolutely recommend giving Ana's a try because there's something for everyone on the menu. The cocktails are fun too, and I'll definitely be back.

    Rarely do I write a review after just 1 visit, but I'm making an exception for this little gem!…read more I've known of this place for years, but never stopped in before. I was glad that I did finally drop in. Located in a little strip mall on Valley Road, it's an unassuming place from the outside. The inside is small, but comfortable and it felt very "homey". When I walked in, the first thing that hit me was the smell of delicious food wafting through the air. The tastes did not disappoint. We were greeted and sat promptly by a personable young man that brought us water. The owner then brought us our drinks...a margarita for my dining companion and a Mandarin Jarritos for me. My sip of the margarita tasted amazing! Great balance and flavor. We also received a basket of chips and salsa. You could tell that they were made fresh to order. The chips were crispy and hot. The salsa was outstanding...fresh cilantro...balanced combination of flavors with a nice, subtle kick of spiciness at the back end. Not too spicy...just right. I usually have to ask for something hotter...not in this case. The food was amazing! My dining companion ordered the Chile Relleno plate and I got the Molcajete. The prices are outstanding and the amount of food? Huge plates! My Molcajete was sizzling hot and overflowing with chicken, beef, shrimp, nopales and ground beef mixed with veggies. A large plate of refried beans and spanish rice also accompanied this presentation. Fresh, hot, delicious corn tortillas rounded out each of our orders. We were also given a couple of squeeze bottles of sauces...green and red...to add to our meals if we wanted. Freshly made and the bottles were presented in a plastic tub filled with ice to keep them cold. Great addition to the already amazing food! There's also a nice selection of Mexican hot sauces on the table for you to choose from. We both took to-go boxes...so much food! Mine lasted for 2 more meals! I plan to return on a regular basis...this is now one of my favorite local places for great Mexican food. As always, I suggest that you visit to see what YOU think...

The entrance is the front, but I have seen people come through the deck, as parking is back there. They just walk up to the hostess booth. The parking lot is small and cam house most of the patrons. If not there are plenty of street parking that are either metered or not. Just depends if you want to pay or not. We orders a quesadilla for the little ones and them some not street tacos for us. The tacos have plenty of protein so dont over order. Worse case you can take them home. We also got some appetizers. The ahi was fresh. Their was a culmination of citrus and a sauce. I can't put my foot on. But it was delicious. Since we also had some chips and dip. I did place some ahi onto of the chips for some crunch. I rate the service a 5 out of 5. They were attentive, even with the dinner rush. They gathered plates and provided water in good time. They were so prompt with the food as well. It came out fresh and quickly. We ordered another taco as one of the little ones preferred carne asada. Great service staff for sure. Must go to place, if your ever downtown.

The service has been consistently friendly, and the food has been amazing every time. It's actually becoming one of our go-to spots when we're craving Mexican food. As someone who's used to Southern California Mexican food, I usually find a lot of the Mexican restaurants in Reno to be a bit bland. Chihuahuas is one of the few places I've found that has those bold, authentic flavors and reminds me of home. We're really glad we gave them another chance!

We got right in and I asked to sit at the bar right in front of the tv. The staff were super friendly and the bartenders chatted with us the whole time while also enjoying the fight themselves in between making their drinks. The food was super delicious. We ordered Aguachile (really good but super sour), pineapple jalapeño wings (too sweet and not my fave), ribeye chicharron........be prepared to cough and have the people sitting near you cough non stop lol. It was spicy and a bit dry but good. My favorite was the roasted bone marrow with garlic bread. Insanely good. We had a great time and will definitely be back.
