Chino Latino — Restaurant in Grand Forks

This place is going to be a HIT! Did our first run at Chino Latino tonight and it was very good. Only the drive-through is open right now but they are very patient letting you look over the menu and decide what you want. We've loved Steers and the Food Truck for years but this new location and branding is going to work out great in the long run.

Great move Elias! Your story is so inspiring - congratulations and we are proud to have your spirit, drive and cooking skills in our community PLUS you have great people working for you.

It's not often I throw away food, but this was one of those times. Even my dog wouldn't eat it, and that's...

I meant to write this when I visited, which was approximately 1 week ago. I had a friend that visited who loved their Indian food. I tried their bourbon chicken and their noodles. It was $10 for each item. While the staff was incredibly friendly, the food was horrible. The employee told me the noodles were “Japanese noodles and vegetables.” What I received were dried up spaghetti noodles, which were turned red by what at one point was maybe sauce? but again, not saucy at all, and a few pieces of cabbage. The bourbon chicken was an insufficient amount of chicken (which tasted like it was drenched in straight bourbon) on yellow rice. No joke, I ate a few bites of each and threw it all away. Waste of money. Maybe they should stick with Indian food? In any case, I...
