    Ordered three cheese enchiladas with double refried beans. Pretty good, salsa mixed in was delicious. Also had a Corona Extra. Entire meal with tip was $25 flat, ordered water besides the single beer. They have a massive menu and massive drink selection/cocktails including no alcohol options. One thing that caught me off guard were the little kids/children working, like an 8-10 year old little girl sat me at my table, while my server was an older woman, several times a 12-ish year old boy asked if I needed anything else. That's a first for me, there were lots of little kids working here, all seemingly family apparently. Just an interesting thing to see. Good experience, huge place. Very popular.

    Best Mexican restaurant in Laramie.! Service attentive, warm, and welcoming. Food was fantastic; I had the carne asada, quesabirria taco and shrimp/mushroom with garlic sauce - all cooked perfectly. Their house margaritas are great, mango and strawberry flavoring are made from fruit puree! Will be coming back again!

    Very impressed with this restaurant! Stopped by for a later dinner and was very pleased with everything from the speed at which we were seated to the quality of the food. Table was clean and the server was warm, cheerful and attentive. Food came out promptly and presentation was wonderful. Portions were large and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone who likes good Mexican food!

    Chano’s Village is my favorite dinner spot whenever I’m in Laramie. The food is always super tasty, the portions are filling, and the prices are great. The people who work there are polite and attentive, which makes it feel like a spot you actually want to keep coming back to. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out — definitely worth it!

    I absolutely love this Mexican restaurant! They consistently serve a delicious, high-quality meal and the experience is fantastic from start to finish. ​The value is unbeatable: they immediately start you off with bottomless chips and what I think is the most delicious salsa you could ever taste. The main course is truly a feast—the portions are huge, and I almost always have a scrumptious meal to take home. ​The staff is always friendly, and I enjoy supporting a family-based business. Don't skip dessert! They offer the perfect little sweet treat to end the meal. Highly recommend for the food, the portions, and the wonderful atmosphere!

    Came here later in the evening to enjoy a meal, it turned out to be a great meal! The music was a bit loud and there were some rowdy patrons enjoying their own meals. However, the waitress was pleasant, friendly, helpful and accommodating. The place was very clean in both the dining areas and restrooms. We did not experience much of a wait for our food once we ordered. Everyone in our group said that was a very satisfying meal, no one left still feeling hungry. If you enjoy Mexican food or just want to try something different, I definitely recommend eating here.

    Excellent visit to Chano's Village for dinner. I was traveling solo on business, really wanted a margarita! Visited Chano's based on reviews. Service was very prompt and exceptional. Checked back on multiple times. I ordered the Pollo Costa Blanco, with Rancho beans. It also came with salad/blue cheese. Never had that at a Mexican Restaurant, but it was fine. Free chips and salsa. The mango margarita hit the spot! Nice, large restaurant with plenty of space for groups. Definitely recommend!
