Chihuahua's Mexican Family Grill

We found a top Mexican spot on the peninsula!Chihuahua's has everything you expect in a Mexican eatery and more. To start, we had fast seating, fast service, delicious food!The restaurant is located in a strip shopping center, so there is ample parking. It is pretty convenient to 64 - a plus for us on the way back to the Southside. We stopped in on a recent Saturday, super tired after a day at Busch Gardens and jonesing for cold beer and salty tortilla chips.We were treated to incredible, friendly service and some of the best Mexican food I have had in a long time. Chicken Asada Tacos - I could have easily had 1 or 2 and ended up with leftovers. They were chock full of flavorful chicken, fresh onion and cilantro. They were a little heavy on the onion and I ended up taking some off as it overwhelmed the chicken flavorSpinach & Chicken Burrito - enough for 2 people at least. It was also super stuffed with chicken and fresh spinach. The cheese sauce was good, and there was a lot of it. We could have done with less, but it's perfect for cheese lovers.Kid's Cheese Quesadilla - Little one has yet to meet a quesadilla she doesn't like, but the winner was the accompanying rice which was not at all dry or greasy, which is what I tend to find at other spots.Overall, a great experience and I will definitely return if I'm back on that side of the water!

First time here and overall had a great experience! Service: Excellent! Was dining here with co-workers about 20 and the group they was taking care of our group did a great job! We always had plenty of chips and salsa, drinks, and they were all very friendly. Food: All the items I tried were very good. First off the chips and salsa were good along with the white sauce. They do a good white sauce. Chicken taco-it's simple but had great flavor. Didn't skimp on the cheese! Chicken enchilada-very tasty! Lots of chicken and good flavor. Rice-very good rice! Can't wait to come back!

The ambiance is typical and service is good. I found the food mediocre, but the price was decent. I've been here a couple of times because friends have chosen it, but I'm really not impressed. I know I was spoiled living in San Diego for 10 years and getting authentic Mexican food, but Newport News is sadly lacking anything remotely close to authentic Mexican food. I ate here last week on a Tuesday. My friend chose it. It was just ok. We both ordered street tacos. The biggest saving grace was the friendly staff. So would I eat here again? Yes if someone else were to choose it. It wouldn't be on my personal list though.

We went for lunch and had good food and service. We both happened to get a lunch special that was on special and the bill originally did not reflect that, but the waiter made the changes when I caught the price difference.

Was not a fan of the food or drinks here. We had a few drinks each (alcohol type). They had little to no alcohol in them or didn't taste right. The chips, stale and reminded me of some cheap knock off brand from food lion, the salsa was very plain. The tacos, the meat was actually pretty good, but the tortillas tasted very flowery. The burrito was good but it wasn't very spicy and it didn't have a lot of meat or vegetables in it. The service wasn't bad, just a little slow

I've had a few things from here. They were okay. Not bad, not great, but okay. The breading on the butter fried shrimp was soft, the flan was good, the chimichanga dinner was alright, chile Colorado was supposed to be bursting with flavor, but it was flavorless.

Really good food and great service... but very great people working here that take a moment to be hospitable and kind. Thank you. And made me some vegetable nachos with offer of making other items not on the menu for me. Wow... I'm so impressed and I will be back!

Family owned and super sweet! The service is always fast too! This is our go-to Mexican place!

Found this great place while working in the area. Friendly service and tasty food. Alvaro behind the bar was great! Had the Fundido burrito and it was delicious and very filling. Can't wait to return soon!

This was our go to Mexican place. But something has changed and it isn't as good. Food is slow to come out and dry. The last two time everything tasted old and the final time everyone got sick within 2 hours of eating here.Big Bills Mafia hang out on game days in the back/patio area.
