In town visiting family. Wanted to take them out to dinner and found this gem. We got seated right away. Our server was great. Super friendly, very attentive. I got the beef Bulgolgi tacos and they were delicious. My family enjoyed their meals as well. I only gave this place 4 stars since my margarita was just ok. I'd definitely come back when I'm in town. read more

Nice, friendly service on July 4th weekend. Food was just ok. The chicken lettuce cups were smaller than expected and a little too sweet for my taste. Edible but nothing to write home about. Carnitas fries were huge and tasty. Sushi was ok, again, nothing special. read more

Don't host events at this place. We had a party there and ordered a party package of food for our guests. Can you believe they didn't refill our food?? That we paid for? The manager was not transparent with times we could set up for the event trying to cut corners. Such a slimey place, we paid good money to host our event here and they cheapened out on our food. My question is if we paid for it where did it go??? Food was decent that's why it's 2 stars but don't come here for events. SHADY. read more

The menu has a variety of things. Sushi was good. They had a giant fish bowl margarita that I shared with my friend.

Chinita's is a great choice for very casual, Mexican-Japanese fusion (seriously). Great staple on Water Street. Great friendly service. Good place for larger parties - lots of birthday toasts happening. Good for families also. read more

The food is an eccentric mix of multi-cultural Mexican, Japanese, and Spanish. The service is great considering it is always busy Oscar made Sure we were well fed and made some recommendations!!! Excellent choices. My personal favorite is the Ramon Birria omg!!! The surroundings are Chingon!! They have a Club a nights dam fun. BRUNCH IS GREAT A MUST DO IN Vegas!!!!

How cute is Chinitas Tapas & Sushi Resto at the Water Street District in Henderson. Fusion Restaurant & Bar & good vibes. Floral Decor throughout. Felt perfect for an afternoon lunch w/ the girls. I'm a fan of their Happy Hour. Especially an everyday Happy Hour. So glad it was recommended to try by some locals. Check out their weekly specials & weekly events too. It was my first time here. Our server Jonathan had great recommendations. & We tried a majority of them! We Shared all the Tapas. I could of just ordered my own plates, but we had to share smh lols... Jonathan took care of my group of gals. So attentive & great Recs... 5/5 Thank You Jonathan!! My HH Favorites: - Tiger Roll - Chicken Tinga Taco - Chicken Lettuce Cups Regular Menu Favorites: - House Special Cauliflower (I can just eat the whole bowl of it!) - Plain Wings w/ the Chipotle Ranch Can't wait to come back to Chinitas! read more

Fusion? More like con-fusion. Chinitas is a restaurant on Water Street in Henderson that has "combined the savory flavors of Mexican and Asian cuisine" per their website. It looks like they've also incorporated a sports bar vibe as well as a country night. The parking lot in the back had ample space when I showed up during Friday happy hour. Although I didn't get any entrees or tacos, I did try quite a variety of items. Unfortunately, most of them just weren't that satisfying. Chicken Tinga Tostadas ($5.00 HH): actually one of the better dishes overall, with toppings that all make sense in my mouth. What didn't quite work was how the chicken was not shredded very finely, so it ended up being a chore to finish the process of biting. Crispy Pork Wontons ($6.00 HH): I didn't get it. The wontons were crispy, but the pork was barely noticeable. The sweet and sour sauce leaned heavily toward sweet, and the overall flavor profile just didn't taste like anything I've had in Mexican or any Asian cuisine. Chicken Lettuce Cups ($5.00 HH): another unexpected surprise, in a negative way. I'm not sure what to expect from bang bang sauce, but I didn't want a sauce reminiscent of peanut butter in an overly sweet way. With the fresh toppings and ingredients, it would have been a home run with a better sauce. Elote Ribs ($5.00 HH): another miss. The underlying corn was a little too mushy and wasn't salted at all. For the "ribs" on the bottom layer, the mayo and cotija didn't cover all of the corn up as you would expect in elote, which exposed the underlying issues. The gimmick would have worked with better execution. House Special Cauliflower ($10.00): our lone pick that wasn't on the happy hour menu. Our server recommended this over brussels sprouts, and I can say now that I regret allowing that question. The cauliflower was just too soft and grainy, not a good meat replacement. The sweet and spicy sauce was actually pretty enjoyable, but the dish was already lost by that point. The Sashimi ($8.00 HH) dishes were a mixed bag. They all come with ponzu sauce, a bit of serrano pepper, and some shredded daikon. The yellowtail wasn't bad, but the bluefin was among the more boring and bland bites of raw tuna which I've had. The California ($6.00 HH) and Rainbow Roll ($13.00 HH) were just fine, nothing exceptional. They felt a bit overly wet thanks to however they prepared the rice. You can get comparable if not better quality rolls from most if not all local all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants. I thought I was getting really full by the end, but it was just a reaction to subpar food. Chinitas might be the kind of place where having alcohol is mandatory to distract you from the preparation of the food. Based on the hype, I expected something on par with the halcyon days of Soho Japanese Restaurant, but instead I got what's most likely going to be a first and final visit. read more

I enjoyed my time here. I made a reservation over the phone and the young man I spoke to was very polite and friendly but somehow that reservation got lost. I even asked him about a confirmation over the phone or thru text and he said no need. Well....luckily we were still able to get seated right away on a Saturday afternoon. I started with a delicious margarita. I'm pretty sure it was the ginger berry. It was light and refreshing. I then realized it was still happy hour and switched to their house margarita where you can quickly taste the difference but with how crazy prices are now-a-days, I had to get at least one happy hour drink. We started with the Birria Eggrolls. This was my favorite dish. I would come here just for those. Delicious. I then ordered the surf and turf fried rice. This dish is huge. Get it to share. I didnt love it. My ribeye was super fatty, shrimp lacked flavor, and I like my egg mixed in as well as a runny one on top for an extra bonus. Having a happy hour on a Saturday in the dinning area as well as bar area, killer appetizer, killer margarita options, and a DJ playing fun tunes will make me come back for sure. read more

Tuesday night Karaoke!!! I like this place is super clean and the staff is always friendly and with great energy. The menu is pretty interesting, being vegan I had to try each of the options. The house special cauliflower, beet tostada, guacamole, pupiya salad, threw in veggie sushi roll just because. Our guests enjoyed tacos, sliders, and sushi.... I think it's an interesting yet small town vibe. Definitely will be back!!!! Oh props to our server she totally did a song on Karaoke. read more

So glad we landed here especially at happy hour. Food was delicious and so affordable. We had the Chinese Churro Donut for dessert and our group devoured it Do not skip if even full--just share. Jarred was a great server, and food came out so fast and so yummy. read more

The last time I went to Chinitas, we really enjoyed to food, so we decided to go back for more. Well, the food was no where close to being as good as it was the last time. The pot stickers look like pre-made, store bought. You get 5 to am order, and they are TINY. Looks like children size! Not ordering this again. The salt and pepper chicken wings were tiny, tasteless (no salt or pepper! ), overcooked, and dry! Not ordering this one again either. The House Special Cauliflower sauce tasted good, but the Cauliflower was overcooked and mushy. Again, not ordering this one. We also had some sushi, which was good. So the theme here is TAPAS, so smaller plates. But, the smaller plates should be at a slightly smaller price, but it's full price for small plates. I'm disappointed that the food was not up to par this time. read more

So , before I let the people know , i reached out to the company to explain how both of us meet for dinner, and we both woke up with food poisoning. She even went to the hospital because of how sick she got, and they said it was from a bacterial infection from the sushi . Will never go back, wrote to them... no response... called them.... No one responded to the call. Avoid at all cost read more

Japanese Festival weekend and you would think they're going through their soft opening. One server had checked her tables outside (High five) bummer she's not our server. Our server came back after 35min to verify the order. Then we got our apps and the sushi, but no silverware or plates for another 8min. I love that the music is here and the DJ was great but when the servers can't hear us and we're yelling, I mean come on. You're a restaurant not a club. 54min later and our kids nuggets and slides finally came out. Honestly would have been good if someone gave a damn to simply check in on us. I get being busy, 100% but that doesn't excuse the horrible service. It's a shame because there's so much potential with this place. read more

Went to lunch with my brother today and had the pleasure of meeting Victoria..she is a breath of fresh air..Victoria made our trip such an amazing experience. She even took the time to introduce us to the owner, Ms. Chanty. The food and the service is next level!!! Can't wait till our next visit!!! Mike read more

My SIL thought we should try this place and we were glad we did. The food was fantastic, very tasty & well presented. The place was packed, another good sign...however, they only had one server during the time we were there, taking all the orders, serving drinks & giving one's bill otherwise I would have given this place 5 stars. She did have someone assisting her in clearing tables & bringing out our food. Shout-out to our server, Jannice P, she was swamped but still awesome even checking with us if all was ok, but they need more servers! Loved the Halloween decor throughout....we will be back! read more

I've seen and heard so many good things about Chinitas and was able to try it on Mother's Day. They have a nice patio that overlooks Water street and a rooftop area as well. We dined inside the restaurant close to the patio so we were able to experience the open air while eating. Our server was great. She was very attentive and provided great service. I ordered a margarita flight. My favorites were the spicy mango and strawberry. The original and prickly pear were tasty too. They have a nice selection of craft cocktails that I would love to try on future visits. For food, we ordered the potstickers as an appetizer, the kids meal with chicken strips, and the quesabirria tacos. The potstickers were delicious and a great way to start our meal. My son enjoyed the chicken strips and fries. My quesabirria tacos were good and very filling. The consome dip was perfect for dipping the tacos into. We will definitely be back to try more items off the menu. They have a good happy hour menu that I look forward to trying. read more

I was helped today by Jacob and he was an incredible server. He single handedly took care of the entire restaurant and it still somehow seemed like he was always at our table to help. I ordered the bulgogi tacos, elote ribs, and fries. Everything was great. The beef in the tacos was perfectly seasoned and they did not skimp on the meat! They have week day food specials from 11:30-2:00 pm as well as happy hour. read more

I don't get it at all!?!?! Saw many, many raving reviews on this spot on Water Street. The place is packed inside and out. But the food is lower quality and possibly not fresh. Every Tuna item on the menu is served Spicy! Possibly to mask lower quality. Oh and if you ask for them to be made Not Spicy they will up charge you! This could be a cool concept, and Water Street District desperately needs it, but.... They are trying to do too much and are not good at much. The service started off cold. After a few moments our server got a bit more personal and attentive. Perhaps we were his first table of the evening? I can't really find it in myself to recommend this spot however but hope they get things straightened out! read more

We brought a candidate for a position to Chinitas as a part of their interview day and had a wonderful experience. The staff were welcoming and accommodating for our group. The space was well lite and a comfortable temperature. We sat in a booth which was roomy. The food comes out when it is ready so you may not get everything all at once. The chips for the guacamole are light and crunchy. The sushi rolls were well made. The taco trio was bursting with flavor. If you are wanting to try and place on water street I highly recommend giving Chinitas a try! Can't wait to enjoy an evening on the patio. read more

This place is trash! They are rude and apparently don't need business. Their Yelp says open until 9, walked in at 7:55 P.M. and was ignored for a while. The employee finally looked our way and asked how many in our party, when I told him 9, he said they couldn't serve us because their kitchen was closed. Wow... I hope the owner reads this and knows what his employees are doing, turning away business an hour before closing is nuts. We will never return! And hope your business shuts down! read more

Had dinner here recently to celebrate my cousin's birthday and overall it was a positive experience! We had a reservation so upon arrival we were immediately seated. Our waitress was sweet and very attentive. The restaurant has a modern vibe to it, ample seating indoors and out. And they also had a DJ section set up to provide for some live entertainment. A few of us ordered the salt and pepper wings, I had mine tossed in Buffalo sauce while others opted for the Chinese bbq sauce. I tried both and they were fantastic. The chicken was seasoned and battered appropriately, the wings were perfectly cooked (not burnt or dry) and the portion size was perfect to share or not. My cousin (birthday girl) ordered the cauliflower tacos and shrimp tempura crunch roll of which she enjoyed. Her son in law got a flatbread and her husband also got a roll and they too were happy (sorry no pics). I however opted for the Quesabirria tacos and I was very disappointed. It was super greasy and lacked flavor, the sauce served for dipping tasted like beef fat plus tomato paste and also was in desperate need of salt. A real bummer!!! Nevertheless, I would like to go back sometime to try some of their other menu offerings. P.S. They offer great daily specials!! Monday nights, margaritas are half off! read more

First time visiting this restaurant. Met a girlfriend that had been before for an early light dinner. We were seated right away in a cute booth with the sushi bar on one side and more tables to the right. Television screens plentiful with different sports showing. Food server promptly greeted us and let us know it was ladies night beginning at 6 pm. We decided to wait the few minutes for our drinks. My friend recommended the Elole Ribs (Mexican street corn) and the beet tostada. The order came out quickly. Both were delicious. The spice level was nice. The beet tostada was my favorite. Loved the crunchiness of the taco shell and the freshness of the beet mix. For drinks I tried the mule and my friend had a basil margarita. Mine was great and she liked hers too. Then we opted for their baked Japanese lasagna sushi item. Crab with yum yum sauce. Very tasty. I'll be back to try more menu options. Food and service were excellent. Easy free parking on street or behind the restaurant. read more

We recently had our wedding at Chinitas, and I can confidently say that it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly and professional staff who made us feel welcomed and supported throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful decor that perfectly complemented our wedding theme. The layout was ideal for both the ceremony and reception, creating an intimate yet spacious atmosphere for our guests. The food was absolutely incredible! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious dishes served at the reception. The catering team went above and beyond to accommodate our preferences, ensuring that everyone had something they loved. Overall, Chinitas provided us with an unforgettable experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful setting, exceptional service, and fantastic food for their wedding! The Opperman's are forever grateful for Chanthy and Kyle for making this process easy! They treated us like family. Very understanding, honest, and patient as we finalized our plans. Thank you for everything! read more

Over the last few years, Water Street has turned into the place to be. I have tried many of the establishments, but had not previously tried Chinitas even after positive word of mouth. I finally was able to rectify that. Food Chinitas is a Asian/Mexican fusion restaurant with many different options on the menu ranging from tacos to sushi to soups. I went with the Quesabirria Tacos, which are on sale on Tuesdays. Three tacos came out with a consume dipping sauce. The tacos were delicious on their own, but the sauce added something extra. 5/5 Service We went during our lunch break at work, so we didn't have unlimited time. The restaurant was pretty busy, but they did a relatively good job at getting the items out. One party members sushi came out 20 minutes before everyone else's food, which was a little odd. 4/5 Ambiance The restaurant has a very nice warm feel when you walk in. There is an enticing bar next to the entrance and it was decorated with Christmas spirit. 5/5 Chinitas has a lot of positives and offers and unique food option for Water Street. I will be back to try some other options. read more
