My friend's mom and dad live 20 miles away and occasionally trek out to the place because it's THAT GOOD. No, you can't order snickerdoodles by the dozen if it is late on a weekend...that's a downer because they are delish. IF you are a newbie to Chino's DON'T go during a lunch or dinner rush, you will be overwhelmed by the the ordering process and people might stick their phone in your back as they tweet about your ordering incompetence. I don't know if that has ever happened, but it might. After a few visits you'll feel confident enough to mark the order pad yourself and might even try things like adding a "q" or a "b" to the order and you'll know what thinks like JFR mean...it'll open up whole new worlds of food possibilities for you, I promise. If you are an adventurous eater, try to Jerk your whole combo. Jerk Chicken with Jerk Fried Rice. If yer a bit wild, but a bit more sane - go with something like Jerk Chicken and normal rice. We've pretty much run the whole gamut of flavors here and we haven't found anything you can go wrong with. I mean, it's Mexican/Asian fusion cuisine with tasty cookie included as you dine in! What's not to like? They also have a sample bar so you can explore the flavor palate as you stand in line (again - not during rush hour, not gonna be conducive to that at all). Just go. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because the ordering system is something no average diner catches onto immediately, it takes a few tries.
