5 stars easy! So glad that this gem has been in water street. Food favorites: Sliders and the birria Tacos. Fries are tasty as well. Dined in a couple times and service was great. Nice ambiance, whether you are on a date, have a big group, or just bringing the kids.

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 CupsRegular Menu Favorites: - House Special Cauliflower (I can just eat the whole bowl of it!) - Plain Wings w/ the Chipotle RanchCan't wait to come back to Chinitas!

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.

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.

The restaurant its self was very clean and cute . The miso soup was great 7/10 . The chicken tostadas 8/10 . The elote ribs 10/10 . The wings I would rate a 6/10 due to the fact I was expecting salt and pepper wings and they were very plain . The bulgogi fries were a 7/10 the spicy mayo and the bulgogi were very sweet . And the shrimp crunch roll was a 10/10 . Margaritas could have been a little stronger . Overall experience was a 9/10

Fantastic restaurants! Combining tacos and sushi...doing both to perfection. We had the taco trio, chinitas and paradise rolls and all were some of the best we've had. And Brandon's recommendations did not disappoint.

Absolutely love this place! It came highly recommended by a family friend, and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible--every dish we ordered was a hit! We had the birria egg rolls, fried wontons, beef bulgogi tacos, a couple of rolls, yellowtail, and the citrus sashimi--10/10 across the board!The cocktails were just as impressive. I tried the blackberry mojito and the strawberry cucumber limeade, and both were perfection--so refreshing and well-balanced.On top of the amazing food and drinks, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was great. Definitely a new favorite--can't wait to come back!
