Food is good most of the time. Service is adequate most of the time. Problem is it's not consistent. Sometimes you're important & sometimes overlooked. Also the place needs a serious remodel. Part of it is cold and too bright. Feels like a church basement. Update needed badly!

Fried flour tacos are the best. They even make fried flour tostadas! I substitute my own cheese and add tomatoes at home. My sister loves the beans.

Worst Mexican food in Wichita. Beans and rice cold chips old. Salsa bland. Service was good.

The food is overpriced and no flavor to any of it the salsa had no flavor when asked for hot it seems like they took a bottle of habanero sauce and dumped it in my salsa the lady was very nice but would never recommend this place to anybody could not even finish my food

Uhhh...not very good Mexican food. Felipes or Mexico Viejo are much better choices in this area. Guacamole was already turning brown when it was brought to the table. The tortilla used for my chicken "sancho" was not fresh and it was flaky thin and chicken was tasteless. I said No Beans....it was full of beans. The Chile Relleno was not tender. Save your money it was not worth the price.

I've read all the reviews here and service seems to be a common complaint.
Last night my wife and I waited 1:45 minutes in the restaurant for tacos that were NEVER made, The 2 waitresses were all but worthless and the manager couldn't be troubled. We've eaten here since they opened back in the 90's, won't enter this place again. If you want to eat good Mexican food and get descent service go anywhere else.

The burrito was smothered with American cheese. The quesadilla was American cheese. Sorry that’s not a quesadilla. The fajita beef was provided as slab/sheets of meat. Not cut or shredded. Beef is poorly seasoned. Or not seasoned at all. Salsa taste like watery tomato soup. We had a gift card but won’t be returning.

Owned and operated by one of the best families you'll ever meet! Also, doesn't hurt to be a Chiefs fan or a soccer fan! Great food done well and quickly! Also, you'll probably want some salsa to take home with you! Meat and potato enchiladas and Monterrey are my favorites. So very affordable its shocking! Bring the whole family if you're worried about being able to eat out on a budget, you'll be just fine here! And the portions are very generous.

Great, traditional Mexican fare. Made fresh. Friendly staff. The salsa is very good, but the hot is Very hot... at least to us.
Love the Monterrey, but it is more than it originally looks... it's huge!
Haven't had a bad meal here yet. I got started coming here in the mid 80s. The food has been consistently wonderful!

This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. I'm picky on my beans, that's what living in rural Colorado does to you. Their beans are authentic to what my our Mexican family makes. Small place, but worth it!! Our kids love their Kids Plates and their queso is great!

As a native from Santa Ana, Calif I have tried my share of mexican food and I have to say Cholitas is one of the most delicious and satisfying in the Wichita area. Reasonably priced, generous portions and a huge variety on their menu make us muy feliz!

Terrible beyond belief, are you kidding? The only good thing was the chips were really solid and could have stood up to salsa but:
* the salsa was nothing but pureed tomato, no seasoning, no effort at seasoning, Mexican Oregon, nothing
* the cheese was shredded american cheese, like on cheap hamburgers
* the beef had no seasoning nor marinating, but was at least cooked
* the chorizo was over seasoned, but, at least it was seasoned, so dry I choked on it, had ration my diet coke, "Hope" the waitress never offered a refill it. I asked for Hope to bring me some more pureed tomato as I

I like their whole beans..... no added fat and they are delicious. The weekly specials are great. The secret sauce is the "kitchen sauce" that you have to ask for but hot and savory and addictive. You can dip chips in it or ask for it on any item.

OK, wanted to use a coupon and have an inexpensive dinner out with my husband. The waitresses are very sweet, and welcoming. The food, however is subpar. The mild "salsa" is like someone poured jarred spaghetti sauce into a dish. It certainly didn't taste Mexican by any means. Hubby doesn't like Mexican food, so he ordered the Tbone, medium- we specified "pink in the middle, but not bloody". The steak is cut so thin (to make it meet the stated weight) that it would be impossible to cook it medium or anything other than well done or over done. The side salad was nice

When I went here I ordered one of the combination dinners (since it was Saturday & they had their special). I REALLY enjoyed my flour taco, SOOO good y'all. outside my burrito was this amazing gravy, but inside my burrito looked like a disgusting mess, was mediocre. The beef enchilada was just beef rolled up in a grilled tortilla covered with melted fake cheddar cheese. Rice was bland but I haven't been to a mexican joint that seasoned that rice so I guess that's normal. A little overpriced for some of those food items but amazing customer service, very nice & helpful. I

Great friendly family owned business! Always a joy to visit. Wait staff have always been more than pleasant with us. If there is ever a hiccup they are quick to fix! I recommend their carnita dinner, just amazing. Plus, all you can eat chips and salsa paired with our favorite margarita (only $3 might i add) you cannot go wrong here.

My girlfriend and I went in to get a to-go order. We walked in and the server sat us at a table without asking if it was "for here or to-go." They put chips and salsa on the table even though we indicated it was to-go. We thought it was a nice gesture while we looked over the menu, but when the server realized it was To-go she took them back into the kitchen. After looking over the menu we ordered Fish Tacos, Chicken Tacos, Tortas, and Tamales. After waiting about 20 minutes we got a large bag with all the food. They said chips and salsa were in the bag (they weren't). Once we got

This is a great family atmosphere place. Not fancy but everyone will have a choice -- their cheese burgers are awesome! Great service. The kind of place you could eat at anytime, many times!! My favorites are guacamole, special w pork
Speaking of specials, there is a great $ saving one each day!

I wiil update because of idiots like steve s, no this isnt authentic mexican if you thought going in a strip mall on westside was gonna get you real mexican, your bad, this place is what it is meant to be, if you want buche, barbacoa, nopalitas, tripas etc, theres plenty of places to get that in this town, i can give you a list since thats what i like, but my wife doesnt, you want spicy heat try the kitchen sauce or there are plenty of off menu things made for those of us that like more traditional, walk in one time and order off menu and duh? You get soft palette as you call it, im mexican too

Ordered the vegetable burrito and it literally was only filled with beans (that is, very plain beans as though they were straight from the can). My friend ordered the beef burrito and it was only filled with beef and had melted cheese on the top like it was microwaved on. Neither of us ate more than a few bites. Even the chips were really heavy. I wish I had taken pics of our food, lol!

The service is fantastic. Most things are fresh, you can tell some are not. A mixture. Just gotta find the right thing. The chips are made there and they are delicious. The sauce is cheaply made but somehow compliments the chips. There's a reason this place has been open for around 20 years. whether it's the food or the service, depends on the person. But sometimes great service makes you keep Comin.

This is what I get for moving to Kansas... Ugh.. Disgusting! Let us begin..

The chips - Nasty.. they tasted like taquitos..If i wanted taquitos i wouldve ordered them..

The salsas they put out were ridiculously sub par.. The "mild" one tasted like mexican seasoned tomato sauce and the "hot" one tasted like mexican seasoned louisiana hot sauce..

I ordered the lunch special bc it was the only thing that wasnt over priced.. Gross.. It was maybe 1/4 of a chicken breast (boiled, unseasoned and shredded) , a couple tablespoons of pinto beans (they were actually pretty good

It had been probably 10 years since we've eaten here, but a New Year's resolution to eat someplace "different" and a family outing to go book shopping out west put Cholita's on the menu.
It's a small and comfortable "family" restaurant with many of the same Wichita-local favorites, including Monterreys, flautas, a selection of combo dinners (specially-priced at $7.59 on Saturdays), and a number of al a carte items.
The tortilla chips were crisp and sturdy, all the better to scoop up the salsa, the standard pureed tomato sauce found in most family-owned
