  I ordered burrito and a beer. It was good. I would enjoy this launch more but the water had that weird taste. :(

  The three of us (me, my wife, daughter) stopped by on long trip east on the Interstate this summer, drawn by the glowing reviews on Yelp. The restaurant is really a local bodega with a few tables, run by a very friendly and welcoming Mexican-American couple. The usual Mexican fare, enchiladas, tacos, burritos and so on, but the food is very well prepared, home cooked and tasty, much better than what you would get in a commercial Mexican restaurant in the US. Large servings, very inexpensive, tasty food, a lot of calories but what the heck. We had a great lunch and a fine time talking with the owners, and a great time afterwards looking around the store. This place is a real *find* for travelers who are willing to drive a few miles from the interstate to the center of town.

  What a find! This rather traditional Mexican bodega, restaurant is a hidden treasure.  Today I ventured into town to try Ahi Chihuahua.   The kitchen is run by a lovely señorita.  My odd request that they prepare my chicken enchilada dinner to be cooked at home, was well received and directions were followed to the letter.  I finished half of my dinner, which was perfectly savory with a touch of heat.   The rice and beans were yummy, just right. The dinner was huge, and inexpensive.  I am delighted to recommend this little gem.

  My boyfriend and I were staying in a neighboring town on vacation and looking for some dinner. I yelped some restaurants, saw this place, and we decided to give it a try. SO GLAD WE DID!!! It was really easy to miss, a very small place that is also part of a mexican grocery store, but the food was incredible. They even had fresh baked bread and homemade jam to sample. And at the end of our meal they brought us out a complimentary fruit plate full of fresh pineapple, blueberries and apples. The place was cozy and friendly and the chef even came out to chat with us.
  We got 3 beef tacos -- which were amazing - and the "Veggie Lover" which we devoured so quickly I dont even know what was on it.
  I highly recommend this place if you're in the area.
  AMAZING FOOD at AMAZING PRICES!!!!

  Had a bean and chorizo burrito from Ahi Chihuahua today. I can honestly say I've never had one exactly like this one before! And I mean that in a GOOD way. This is not your standard Americanized Tex Mex burrito. It was made on a 12 inch flour tortilla with creamy, savory refried beans and chorizo that was crumbly, a little crispy, and well-spiced. They take the whole thing and sort of pan fry it so the outside of the burrito is crisp and brown, too! I loved the slightly spicy green salsa that came as a condiment. The place was clean and lady who helped us was very friendly and efficient.
  
  I loved my burrito and enjoyed browsing through the Mexican groceries while we waited. They carry lots of things you can't find around these parts if you like to cook-- crema, chiles, spices, Mexican cheeses, beans, dried hominy corn, good tortillas, masa flour, etc.
  
  If you haven't checked out Ahi Chihuahua yet, you are really missing out on something authentic and delicious!!! I didn't even mention that the prices are also pretty darned low. What more could you ask?

  After driving by the place for several years, today we stopped and ate lunch.
  
  My, oh my, it was like going to someone's house for Mexican food.  Our waitress/owner was friendly and efficient.  The restaurant shares it's space with a market full of Mexican and American items.  The experience was  surprisingly delicious.
  
  My burrito was made with beans and chorizo.  The owners' daughter prepared the food using the recipes of her grandmother.  The green and red sauce served with our chips was full of flavor.  Green is hot and red is mild.  Loved the green!  As a courtesy to first time customers, our waitress treated us to sides of refrieds and rice.  Both were delicious and authentic.
  
  Next time, we will check out the tacos, which are the daily special.
