We just had my parents 50th anniversary and Chemas catered for the party. They had the food ready on time. It was absolutely delicious and they stuck around to help serve. It made the day perfect. THANK YOU!!!

Hidden hot spot. Fat wet burritos. Chips salsa and the works on beans and rice. The rooftop pool and margarita bar are the best in town.Parking: Find a spot and park.Kid-friendliness: Kids must be secured to adults. Any children left behind are made to work in the kitchen.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel yourself in.

The high rating for this place is our first clue. I enjoyed the plate El Marranito Llorón (the crying pig). It's a flavorful plate of slow-cooked pork, onions, and I think serrano and jalapeño peppers ?️ in a flavorful sauce with pico de gallo as well. Served with rice, beans, tortillas, and guacamole ? it's nearly perfect. To top it off I had a bottle of Mexican Coke.This meal was simply excellent as was the service provided by José the owner. So far, after six months in Reno, this is the best Mexican food I've had... by a pretty wide margin.One other thing to add: the decor is great, think old school, family-owned Mexican restaurant.

I ordered food through a delivery service and all I can say is this food was basically top tier. I had never tried this restaurant before and I am very pleased. (Excuse the photos as we had to try everything before giving an honest review, honestly couldn't help ourselves considering how it looked) Food was outstanding. We ordered Chips and Salsa (not knowing if this place gave it complimentary, we just wanted an appetizer), an Asada Burrito, #2 shredded beef combo which includes an Enchilada and Hard Shell Taco w/ Rice and beans on the side, Chicken Strips and Fries, and a Torta. Chips and Salsa were 3/5, Chips were overcooked and stale but given the time of day we ordered I don't expect it to be very fresh. Salsa was awesome, it had spice and was flavorful and I could not complain. Asada Burrito was on the tier of a Mexican street truck vendor. I'm talking the meat, beans, rice, cilantro and onion with the dip of their salsa really hits the spot. This is now one of my favorite spots to go for an affordable and quality burrito. #2 Shredded Beef Enchilada and Taco was pretty damn good. The Taco was a hard shelled American style taco but was still phenomenal, this was the one thing this dish had that I loved besides the rice and beans which were also pretty good. The Enchilada was basic, I feel like I've tasted this sauce before and it almost resembles canned enchilada sauce. Can't complain much though as the shredded beef was amazing and sometimes that's hard to come across. (This is where the 4 stars come) Chicken Strips were for my son because unfortunately ordering just a bean and cheese burrito isn't a thing at this location, at least for delivery. The Chicken Strips were okay, I tried them and they were very dry. Cut from a chicken breast and not an actual chicken tender. My son didn't complain though and that's enough for me to be satisfied. *If the owners read this please make a bean and cheese burrito a thing on the delivery menu* The Torta was great, the only thing it was lacking was the avocado. Don't know if we just got skimped on our order but it was absolutely lacking that one condiment. Other then that it was great, but yet again their salsa is what will top this dish off. If I could give an honest review I would definitely top this at a 4.5 rather then a 4 star. Unfortunately I ordered through delivery and that does play a factor. I cannot give a review on the customer service and ambience of the business, but I will definitely be back to give a better review! Thank you for the awesome food Chema's, I'll be back again most definitely!!

By far the best Mexican food yet. You may wait a bit for your order, but totally worth it. Been twice will go again soon. Carne asada nachos are great, Chili Relleno plate was good and the chili Verde burrito was big and delicious. A must try!

We LOVE this restaurant! The sweetest, kindest family make sure you have everything you need. My favorite order are the enchiladas carnitas. But I haven't had anything here that wasn't tasty and authentic.
First there are a ton of pigeons pooping all over the front. Beware you don't get pooped on when you walk in. We tested out some regular tacos first to see how it is and all I can say is dry and no flavor. Carnitas was plain and did not seem fresh Carne asada looked boiled not fried up on the grill and was also plain so I added salt and tons of salsa Al Pastor was dry and had big piece of hard fat in it also plain

Great food, I haven't found a place like this in Nevada. Cheap & very friendly place. Definitely recommend.

I ordered from Uber eats got my food at a timely manner as it was still hot. Carnitas had three bones in them to start, great chocking hazard. What is it with this restaurant and using way too much garlic but nothing has good garlic flavor. Every salsa I ordered was just garlic water. Beans were meh, rice was so bland and had no flavor and an unclean taste. The guacamole and tortillas were alright, hard to ruin those. There is a standard of Latin food that needs to be met and none of them are at this establishment.

Wanted to try something close to Revision for Taco Tuesday. Chema's hit the spot but did not blow us away. I had the special quesadilla with asada, kinda plain. Wife had the enchilada burrito with asada. Burrito itself was good, enchilada sauce a little plain. Provided us with a mix of salsas, all really good - they saved the day! Recommend it if you're over this way but there is definitely better in Reno area.
