Stopped in today after a few year hiatus. We've always liked Chentes and today didn't disappoint. I saw reviews where they don't make in house tortillas anymore but they were grilled and had some crunch to them. We had the beef enchilada plate and combo plate. Both were filling and good. Their refied beans are actually refried with lard and not the soupy mess most people serve....damn good. The beef enchiladas were full of meat. The sauce was adequate but nothing Over the top. They did try and charge me for two servings of fresh jalapeños that I returned after requesting freshly chopped serranos. That was the only hiccup. Chips and hot sauce were nothing special but there were plenty for two people. $34 including two beverages. The place was exceptionally clean even after the lunch rush.

Man the referrals weren't joking when they said authentic Mexican food! This is a must try if you ever in Alice! I failed to get my waitresses name, but the service was awesome! The food was quickly served! The tea was delish! I loved this visit! I felt like I was sitting at my grandmothers dining room table! Love the atmosphere, love the food! Thank you Chente's Restaurant for bringing that piece of joy back even if it was just for a moment. I will definitely be returning!

I will give 5 stars to this place for one reason and one reason only....the enchiladas. The enchiladas here are the best enchiladas you will ever find. It don't matter what part of Texas you are in the enchiladas here are the best period...hands down. This place has set a standard in enchiladas that it has yet to be matched. I have dined here and there but this is the place for enchiladas. There is other menu items that are worthy of trying but the enchiladas is the whole enchilada. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere here is not bad at all.

Tried this place on my way back from the valley. I was craving enchiladas so figured why not. I had some cheese enchiladas. They were just ok. Cheese was melted but they didn't have that chili gravy most Tex Mex places put on enchiladas. It did have a brown color to the topping but it was not good at all. On the good side, the staff was very friendly.

Very disappointed!!! The server didn't understand that I was bring to her attention how small the food portions was. When I told the owner/manager they got upset at me.Poor Management = Poor Customer Service = Poor Hygiene = Food Quality = I am never going back to this sorry place to eat again.

Five stars for embodying what "good food" was during my childhood... for being the first place I ever tasted cheese enchiladas, pico de gallo, and house made flour tortilla chips... for being what we looked forward to after church, what we order and take home in hideously huge proportions for family gatherings... for being a part of my youth in general. Two stars for changing. I mean, I know nothing stays the same, but if you're willing to play the game, I'll keep comin' around again. Anyway, enough nostalgia. I know this place has gone through some changes from the beloved Mexican food destination it's been, an absolute staple in Alice, perhaps the most well known restaurant we had (Ya know, before Jaliscience...). I know that sometimes flies buzz in the window or it's loud or the service isn't amazing or you've had better or whatever. If those things bother you you're probably not drinking your margarita correctly. And probably you aren't me, and you didn't sit in those chairs since before your feet could touch the ground. So, five stars and I'll hear nothing else.

Last night some friends and I met at Chentes. We were a group of 6. When we ordered we told the waitress there would be two checks, those three and us three and pointed out the parties. The service wasn't great, but not getting into that. As we went to the counter to pay, the lady at the counter grabbed our check. We explained to her we were going to have two different checks. My friend who was paying for the first three people was going to pay first. The lady who was ringing us up explained we should have had two different checks. We informed her we let our waitress know. Then the lady said we would have to go through everything individually. The lady that was paying told her I am telling you what I'm paying for and proceeded to tell her "I had the two mini taco plates, nachos with carne and two beers." The lady rang her up and she paid. I stepped up to the counter and said I have the rest. "She said, ok so the mini tacos.." i said "no, she just paid for the two mini tacos." The lady replied, "well i didn't scratch it off and someone is going to have to pay." I said, that is your error and she motioned us to go get the party that left. I said "I'm not going to get her." She replied, "well someone is going to have to pay for them." I replied "that was your mistake, she told you she had the two mini taco plates." Then she replied, "this is why there should have been two different tickets, which we once again told her we told the waitress." I told her "i will just pay for YOUR mistake and pay for the tacos." We went back in forth and I did continue to point out it was her mistake but it was paid for. I paid my bill and left. After wards I called my friend and proceeded to tell her what happened after she left and we did the math. Her bill was 48 dollars for the following 2 mini tacos specials (12 each) nachos (7 dollars), 2 beer (5.75 each), side of cheese (2-3 dollars) and 2 waters (free). Which comes to about 45 dollars plus tax, 48. So she did pay for the tacos and I paid for them. The lady was so rude and nothing was itemized on the receipt, but the math was matching the price. This lady was just more concerned without being wrong when she actually did make a mistake. If you eat here just watch for the total at the end. If I'm not mistaken the beer was also supposed to be 4 dollars (not 5.75). But nothing is itemized so just watch out when you pay.
