Love this neighborhood restaurant! Lunch specials are delicious! Sunshine is an awesome Waitress! And Adrian & Arron are too! Everybody needs to try it!

Currently closed because I ate all the fried rice. Sorry! Not my fault they're the best in town!

It appears that this restaurant is closed for renovations. Does anyone know the details?

Orange chicken and almond chicken....with chinese burrito as he called the eggrolls and they are ☺️.. loved the whole setting...will definitely be back... 🔥🙌🏻❤️🎇

If you're looking for the best-tasting, most authentic Chinese restaurant in the San Antonio area, look no further. Because I found this little gem of a restaurant back in the 2005 timeframe. And it's still my go-to place whenever I'm in the mood for some scrumptious and savory Chinese food.

And that's saying a lot, because I live on the far north side of town, off Bulverde Road outside Loop 1604. And I'm willing to travel all the way through downtown SA, and down IH 37 to the Hot Wells Blvd exit on the southeast side of town, to make a beeline towards Goliad Rd. to the not so easy to find La Chinita's Restaurant (located at 1012 Avondale Ave, San Antonio, TX), instead of dining at much closer Chinese restaurant alternatives that simply don't hold a candle to this go-to place of mine.

To be sure, La Chinita's doesn't look like much from the front of the building. But go ahead and enter the doors of this nothing less than awesome Chinese food experience. And don't prejudge the modesty of the whole place, before you get a chance to taste the wonderful, freshly cooked, always piping-hot and very reasonably priced Chinese food, served to you by an equally wonderful wait staff, who are always more than happy to take care of every one of your dining needs. For the record, my favorite server is Adrian. So, when you get to the restaurant, make sure to specifically ask for him to serve you (provided that he's working the day you come), and I promise you won't be disappointed.

As far as I know, there are no other Chinese restaurants in San Antonio that make their own egg rolls from scratch, like La Chinita's does. You wouldn't believe how tasty one of their freshly made, nearly two-inches-in-diameter egg rolls are, until you finally get to taste one for yourself. And once you do, you'll most likely become a La Chinta's customer for life, just like I am.

And it's not just their large egg rolls that sets La Chinita's apart from the other Chinese restaurants in town. They also serve other yummy, authentic dishes that you've probably never heard of, like Kan Pan Beef.

Another favorite dish of mine is their House Special Egg Foo Young that has four different meats (shrimp, beef, pork, and chicken) all wrapped up and cooked inside the perfectly textured egg and smothered with a homemade dark Egg Foo sauce that is second to none.

And I do believe that they have some of the best Moo Goo Gai Pan that you've ever had in your mouth, with the chicken and the vegetables cooked perfectly, each and every time.

Consistency is the one thing that makes a good restaurant outstanding, and La Chinta's food consistency from visit to visit has continued to be truly remarkable!

I don't believe there's anything on their Chinese food menu that you won't find to be very well cooked, authentic, and super-tasty. I've tried a lot of the different Chinese entree dishes over the last couple of decades and still have yet to find one that I don't enjoy eating. The Lo Mein dishes are killer, and the Cashew Chicken rocks, and the Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables is great too.

Even their unsweetened, fresh brewed iced tea is incredible, believe it or not. So, they must be doing something right.

In fact, just thinking about their Chinese food while I'm writing this is making me very hungry right now!

For the record, La Chinita's also serves some Mexican dishes off its own separate menu pages. But having said that, I have yet to notice anyone at the restaurant who was eating anything other than the Chinese food off the menu.

Amazing experience! Ordered for pick up and the lady was so friendly. Arrived to pick up, food was ready about 12 min after I ordered.

We got orange chicken, general tso chicken, crab Rangoon, fried rice, shrimp lo mein. EVERYTHING was delicious and fresh. Will definitely make this a go to spot and recommend coming here.

Love this place best hot and sour soup been going here for 26 years very friendly. Super friendly always feels home.
