I made reservations for 13 people on a Saturday night - turns out we didn't need reservations because the place was not crowded. The relatively empty parking lot should have been the first clue that our dining experience would not be good. The only positive part of our meal were the margaritas but I've never had a pitcher of margaritas... more

I am a native of Arizona and a Field Service Engineer. I have eaten Mexican food all over Arizona and the nation. Chretin's looks like a nice Mexican restaurant, but the food at Chretin's was the worst I have ever had anyplace. Chretin's was recommended by a local as the best green chili in town. The issues started with the... more

While conducting business in Yuma in the past few months I made it a priortity to look up one of my old favorites Cretin's. What a major disappointment. The food sucked, the service was implorable and the attitude of the service/host staff was completely sub-standard. The new location reminds me of a Taco Bell at best. I know the original... more

We have lived in Yuma for 40 plus years and have gone to Chretin's over those years. They have gone down hill slowly. The last time we were there (at the new location of 16 & Ariz), we went late, I guess it was at closing time. We walked in the door, were seated and given menus. Waited atleast 15... more

The restaurant is no longer on 15th Avenue. The new location is 16th Street & Arizona Avenue just West of the freeway. Unfortunately, the food quality and service left with the relocation. As a family, we once frequented Chretin's at least once a week. Mom and Dad visited when there was only 1 table for customers 50+ years ago. Those... more

We arrived at 630 pm and were promptly seated (we had a party of 12) after we suggested that the waiter take our drink orders we waited aprox. 20-25 minutes for our drinks. After our drinks arrived we again suggested that maybe the waiter take our appetizer orders, after waiting a relatively short amount of time we got our appetizers... more
