Checos Mexican Cuisine (Under new management) — Restaurant in Othello

Because the place had a drive-thru window I thought it was going to be a fast food type Mexican food place but I was surprised when we walked in to find a regular sit-down Menu restaurant very clean very nice friendly people and well worth coming back for even though I don't live anywhere near here. When I open the menu I thought man these prices are a little bit on the high side but not too bad until my food came out you can see the two pictures I posted of my chimichanga I have a 9 inch spread from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my pinky that chimichanga is made on a 12-inch tortilla and is massive not just that it's thick filled to the brim with all of the right things. They is an absolutely wonderful enchilada sauce that is homemade in-house in the chimichanga made it really spectacular. The shredded beef in the chimichanga was also fantastic I suppose it would be fantastic in anything but I can't say enough about this place the food that I had was wonderful and my dinner guests had a taco salad that was equally as good. The owner is very gracious and humble and appreciative of compliments. Well worth the money...

We will never come back again the menudo well menudo mixed with posole was full of nasty fat it was not cleaned properly and the taste and smell was super strong, I also only got onion and 2 pieces of cut Cilantro for the whole plate. My husband also ordered his food with tortillas and they were store bought a mexican restaurant should never have store bought tortillas all the ones ive been to have hand made tortillas which is one of the biggest traditional foods in a mexican restaurant. We were also waiting on a hot sauce and instead the guy started chitchatting with some other people at a table instead of bringing us the sauce and he totally forgot about it and i never came. But when he rang us up on the computer he was imputing everything we got and didn't forget a single thing we got except the hot sauce. Bad service bad food...

Driving through the town of Othello on I-90, we were looking for a quick meal and were tired of the standard fast food outlets. Just off the freeway we found a nice, maybe family owned restaurant serving traditional South of the border cuisine. The restaurant was very clean, with interesting wall murals surrounding the interior. The food was well prepared and tasted fresh. My companion, who is very picky about Mexican food was quite complimentary of the chile relleno that she ordered. My meal was simple tacos and they were well done. Not incredible, but prepared with some thought and care. In the end the dollar cost was reasonable, and the service was attentive. However, not a quick stop. So if you're OK with stretching your trip a bit. Checos is not a bad choice to...
