Honest Review After Seeing It on TikTok
I recently visited Chinoâs after seeing their food trending on TikTok. Itâs a small, hole-in-the-wall spot and to their credit, it was packed, which usually signals good eats. I didnât have to wait too long to order, which was a plus.
That said, I did want to share some feedback about the overall experience. The front counter was run by a teenage girl who took orders efficiently, but there was also a younger child probably around 10 or 11 helping out. As sweet and adorable as she was, she was understandably a bit distracting and disruptive, bouncing around the counter. From what I could tell, the man behind the counter, possibly the owner had her assisting with packing sauces up n passing the order.
Unfortunately, this affected the quality of my experience. By the time I got to my car, the sauces had spilled and the packaging didnât hold up well. Iâll be sharing photos, but I really want to emphasize: the food itself is delicious. Theyâre doing something right with the flavors.
However, the way the food is being packaged and served really needs attention. With the volume of customers they have and the prices they charge, the service and order handling need to be more streamlined and professional to match the quality of the food. Iâd definitely return for the taste, but Iâd be more vocal next time to ensure the order is handled with a...
   Read moreThe greatest taco in the history of mankind is right here in Las Vegas!!! The Azteca!!! Guy, you better get your ass to Chino's in Nortown, and do a whole show about this unbelievable place while it's still a hole in the wall!!! This is a family owned and run business headed by the patriarch (you guessed it) Chino! A nicer guy and cooler dude you would be hard pressed to ever find!!!
The Azteca is hard to explain other than it's an amazing flavor explosion in your mouth from the 1st bite!!! The crazy thing about it is the taste gets better with each bite!!! Very few times have I ever tasted a dish that gets better than the 1st bite!!! That's right folks, a taco that defies the law of diminishing returns (go back to your college Economics class that you hated to look this one up)!!! Not ground or shredded beef, but chooped beef to start this out wrapped inside a combination hard and soft shell. Roasted Serrano peppers and onions in a green somehow avocado based sauce, cheese you can't see, but you can taste, and topped off with 2 grilled shrimp!!! That's right, surf and turf on a taco, brilliant! Amazingly original flavor like nothing you have ever tasted in your life!!! All I can say is that you better go there soon because the line was in the parking lot, and I had to beat a dude up to...
   Read moreSaw this place on an Instagram post and the Aztec Taco with Shrimp is what brought me in. Let me tell you it did not disappoint! I ordered 4 tacos: an Al Pastor, an Asada and 2 Aztec with Shrimp. The Al Pastor and Asada were just okay as I found the meat to be overwhelmed by the salsa that was placed on it. I literally only tasted tomatoes, onions and tortillas. With that said, the strength of this taco spot and the reason why they get a 5 out of 5 overall and for the food column is the Aztec tacos alone. The medley of the meat, shrimp, grilled onions and jalapeños and their sauce was just roll your eyes back in their sockets good. My family and I all took our first bites of the Aztec altogether and we collectively let out an orgasmic sigh. Literally THAT good. Also, this taco was huge! The two alone fit the same amount of food as if you were to get a steak and shrimp fajita plate with all the fixings and tortilla. Youâll definitely get your fill. I was just visiting family in Las Vegas and I already canât wait to go back for the Aztec with Shrimp. The guys running the restaurant that night were super chill and inviting. There was a constantly flow of customers so you know the place is...
