I came in towards the end of the lunch rush on a Friday, and was seated and served promptly. The tortilla chips tasted like they were very recently fried. I ordered the La Chinita #1, which is a 9 inch flour tostada with Chile Verde. Delicious.
I also asked if they had extra hot salsa, they did, and it tasted like Chile con carne, a spicy green sauce with a little pork in it. Pretty tasty. I dumped the whole little bowl of it on my tostada.
The tostada shell quickly became mushy from all the salsa and Chile Verde juice, so I employed the fresh fried chips to scoop up each bite. It was like it was meant to be.
Looking back, I should have gotten the the junior version of my tostada, which is a 7 inch shell, as the 9" dish was a bit much for lunch, even for a big guy like me.
My waitress was quick and attentive, and didn't let my water glass get empty. I tipped her a bit over 20%.
The restaurant was clean, and the music was a bit different- they would play a festive Mexican song or two, and then a couple country oldies of the "Waylon and Willie" variety.
Overall it was a good experience. I plan on returning with my wife, who happens to be a black woman, to dispel another reviewer's allegation that they are prejudiced against black people. I seriously doubt that allegation.
Smothered pork burrito! My family has been going here for 10 years for this burrito, hasn't changed a bit.
Great local place. I love this place. Been eating here for 15+ years. Always like the food and service. Very authentic. Nice, stable staff. Most of the police and sheriff's department seems to take their lunch here.
I almost always have the Mexican special dinner for lunch. Great pork dish with beans and rice.
Very Good!. Went here after a WSU baseball game with some friends. All of them got the Chicken Fajita Burrito. I got the spicy sausage Enchilada. Both were fantastic! The chips were homemade, and the atmosphere is terrific. The only downer was that it is too far from home to make a regular trip. any time I am in this part of town, I'm stopping in!
I went back to Wichita for the first time in several years. I had to eat at La Chinita - it was fantastic, just as I remembered. The La Chinita #1 is unique and wonderful. I was born one year before La Chinita opened and have been going as long as I can remember --- HIGHYLY RECOMMEND!
Absolutely delicious authentic food. Friendly staff too. Food came out fast and hot. Large portions, so come hungry. The free chips and salsa had great flavor.
In from Kansas City and love authentic Mexican food. This place was spot on. The service was A+ and the food was amazing. First day I had the pastor tacos and they were really good. They cool with pineapple juice in the meat instead of the pineapple on top ( the way I am use to) the flavor was perfect. The next day I and the fajitas beef and chicken combo. I was rather happy they did not bring it out on a hot plate because if you don't keep stirring it that tends to burn or over cool the meat. The chicken was really juicy and tender and flavor was incredible. I would go back and will go back next time I am in the area. The food was great but service was amazing, just a really friendly place to grab a bite.
Food was very good, great service, large portions.
Always good had the jr#4. Good service chips and salsa is always great. Get the kitchen salsa.
