Local family owned, 50 years plus community gem! My go to order is typically a bean dip supreme as an appetizer, small ranchito smothered and side of rice. I haven't even mentioned their ice but my goodness make sure to order your drink in a to go cup for a take home treat! Honestly there's so many different food items I love eating from here! My advice, if you're a newbie, is to ask Minnie and she'll help you out.

I was born and raised in Ulysses, Kansas, and as a little girl growing up... We had many visits there. During the years as life progressed moved to a town close then as time progressed moved to SE Missouri. I so missed the food they served. When moving back again to SW Kansas, I get to go to "Chitos" again. Still the food is still the same and the atmosphere as always so friendly as well as the service. Great place and so glad to be back home in the Southwest Kansas area again.

This is not a chain restaurant. It is a small town place that has good food and a quiet atmosphere. It's not your latest decor but I don't go to restaurants for decor. If you are in a hurry and want to just get food in 3 minutes and go this may not be the place for you. That being said we didn't wait very long for our food.

If you want good authentic Mexican cuisine this is a top choice. Consistency is impressive all around. Flavor is always very satisfying. It’s a little outdated but that takes nothing away from the amazing food. You can’t lose!!!
