Located in the heart of downtown Bellingham, WA, Ay Chihuahua Cantina opened its doors in 2023 with a mission to bring the vibrant flavors and lively spirit of Mexico to the local college scene and late-night socializers. We're here to offer you a unique dining experience that combines freshly made Mexican cuisine, a full bar, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere perfect for any night out.

We noticed a hole in Bellingham's late-night dining options. College students and night owls needed a place where they could enjoy tasty, affordable food, relax with friends, and catch the latest sports action. That's why we created a space where you can fuel your fun with delicious eats, signature cocktails, and a lively environment open late.

Ay Chihuahua Cantina is proudly owned and operated by the same family behind Chihuahua Mexican Restaurant in Ferndale, WA, one of the largest Mexican restaurants in Washington State. With a legacy of serving authentic Mexican cuisine and creating memorable dining experiences, our family is excited to bring the same dedication and passion to Bellingham.

Authentic Mexican Cuisine: Our menu is packed with freshly made dishes that bring the bold and vibrant flavors of Mexico right to your table. From street tacos to sizzling fajitas, every bite is crafted with high-quality ingredients to ensure an unforgettable dining experience.
