Mexican and Asian shared plates on Water Street
On Henderson's Water Street, Chinitas puts sushi rolls, tacos and shared plates on the same menu. Restaurateur Chanthy Walsh's locally owned business combines Mexican and Asian cooking at 147 South Water Street.
A restaurant shaped by its owner
The Water Street District's profile identifies Walsh as Chinitas' owner and traces her work through earlier family restaurant ventures. Her experience began with hands-on restaurant jobs before she developed businesses of her own. Chinitas carries that background into a menu built for people who want to order across categories rather than choose a single cuisine.
The current offerings make the combination concrete. Birria egg rolls sit alongside crispy pork wontons and chicken gyoza. Chicken tinga tostadas, quesabirria and a taco trio share space with bulgogi fries, black-pepper udon and sushi. Vegetarian choices listed on the site include beet tostadas, cauliflower and a vegetable roll.
At the table and beyond it
The sushi selection includes familiar California and spicy tuna rolls alongside house combinations and sashimi plates. Other dishes range from wagyu sliders to surf-and-turf fried rice, while elote appears both as ribs and on a flatbread. Menus and availability can change, so the restaurant's current menu is the reference for an order.
Chinitas accepts reservations and online takeout orders. It also offers catering and private-party inquiries, with shareable dishes suited to group service. Event arrangements are handled by the restaurant rather than treated as a standard table reservation.
The South Water Street location places it in downtown Henderson's business district. Lunch and dinner hours are published by day, and the restaurant provides both a phone number and a direct contact email for questions about dining, catering or a gathering.
