About this business
Chino Latino in artsy Uptown is usually wall-to-wall people, noisy and busy. Chino Latino is about dressing well, being current and making the scene. Look for the sparkly glitter marquee. If you can, stake out a large round, comfortable booth or group size table. The food and drink is as chic as the crowd. The menu features dishes from south of the border and Asia with many selections being hot and spicy. Choose from tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, Sweet and Sour Chicken, spring rolls stuffed with shrimp, chicken or noodles, sh... read more

User review by hotpinkanthia – It's one of my favorite places to go, but sometimes it's like the wait staff is 'too cool' to provide decent service. Last time I went, our waiter informed me and my friend (arrived as our group was getting done dining but still ordering drinks) that it would be 'a really big inconvenience for him to get us drinks/food because he had to stay until our table was done ordering, so if we could get our drinks/food from the bar (across the restaurant from our table), gee that would be great.' It was... read more
Awesome – Whenever there's a special occassion to celebrate, my favorite place to go is Chino Latino. If you're looking for a place to eat that's different, this is it. I love their jerked chicken-it comes on a huge platter that 3-4 people can eat off of. Try the fried ice cream-you won't be disappointed. Valet park too, very handy! Sometimes the staff can lag, but I think their food makes up for it. Reservations are a must, unless you want to wait over 2 hours for a table.
User review by annikan42 – My visit to Chino Latino was very anticlimactic after all the great things I've heard. The food was good, but overpriced. My friend and I split a desert which was ridiculously expensive and too small to share. It's loud, but not too loud that you can't hear whoever you're dining with. The tables are too close together though; I think my neighbor was less than three feet away. I was impressed with the wait time. They told me it would be a 35-40 minute wait, but we only ended up waiting 15 minutes (a... read more
Stylish Decor and a Creative Menu – I love this place! Stylish decor and a creative menu. I once took my siblings and parents, they are big eaters so the bill got to be a bit expensive. They all had a great time- but my dad did get annoyed with the loud music and my mom had a hard time reading the menu due to the dim lighting. This could have been avoided if I would have reserve a table downstairs. I love Chino Latino!
Style over Substance – I was underwhelmed by this restaurant. Very crowded, full of people ready to be seen. Drinks were very good, food was just average, there are many places I would go back to first. I'd go back if others I was with really wanted to go, but it wasn't my scene.
Why? – Why would you go here, other than once to try it? Ok, deep breath. First of all this place is LOUD. Not fun, lively, buzzing loud, but howler monkey in your ear loud. Inside it's dark and elbow to elbow crowded with hipsters posing for each other. The waitstaff are snobby and inattentive. They don't know the menu and ours checked on us ONCE the whole time we were there. Food was...eh,ok....except for the sushi which was stale tasting, overdone and AWFUL. Lots of strong sauces to hide the overly fishy taste. EW. Only s... read more
Additional Charge for Ice in Margarita!! – While the food, service and decor were all very good, the spoiler had to do with the fact that my girlfriend was charged $.50 for getting ice in her Margarita. She wasn't even told about this charge when she ordered the drink. According to the server, this additional charge covers an additional shot that's required because of ice being added. Our check had a separate line just for the ice. While $.50 is a small amoutn of money, I'd rather not even know about this ice charge. We'll p... read more
Better than I expected!! – I was happily surprised with my first experience at Chino. It was indeed crowded, but we were seated quickly since we had a reservation. Everyone from the hostesses to the waitstaff were very friendly. The menu isn't pricey when you consider 4 people can eat from one entree. Our bill ended up being about $30 per person. That included several drinks, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 deserts. I definitely will go there again, but only with a reservation. Also, valet park!!
I Like It – Still going strong after what ... 5 years? A good place to get together with a group. The menu is creative (I've tried most everything and it's all pretty solid) and the service is average to above average. Fun cocktails make it a nice place to take a date. It does get loud, so don't go if you're looking for a nice quiet dinner.
