Chinitas Tapas & Sushi: Fusion Flavors Spark Life on Water Street
Asian-Mexican Tapas in Henderson’s Arts District
Nestled over by the old mall on Water Street, Chinitas brings a bold twist to the classic Mexican & Asian fusion in Henderson. This vibrant spot mixes tacos and sushi, tapas and cocktails, all set in a gaming and live-music backdrop you didn’t know you needed.
🎯 A playful twist on cultural mash‑ups
Opened by restaurateur Chanthy Walsh—also behind Sonrisa Grill—Chinitas landed in mid‑2021 in the newly revitalized Water Street district, right across from the Rainbow Club & Casino . Since then, it’s been turning heads with its inventive street‑corn elote, wagyu sliders, ahi tuna taquitos, and signature rolls like “Hawaiian & Diablo”.
