    Carne Asada street taco.
    Natalie S.

    I met Leslie at her Kiosk at Allegiant Stadium and got her carne asada tacos at every single home game. Was very disappointed when the Raiders didn't bring her back last season and haven't had tacos at the stadium since. Promised her I would make to to her restaurant one day and I finally did over the home opener weekend. Man I missed this tacos, they are just soooo simple, but soooo good. I also got cheese enchiladas, because that is my jam at Mexican restaurants. They were delicious, with the perfect amount of red sauce. Not only is the food great, the staff is super friendly and seem to really enjoy being there. If you have the chance, get yourself to Abuela's Tacos!

    I've been coming here for 5+ years and it has yet to disappoint. I especially love coming for the handmade tortillas and the combos are a great deal. Jessie helped me out today and was the best!

    Tacos plus Pacifico, it's a good day!

    Abuelas tacos did it again, ordered triple tacos with cold Pacifico and forget about it man. Abuelas just made my day. Can't wait to come back again!

    It was 115 pm but they were people in the place. I ordered the combo enchilada plate with beef. The place was small with about 12 tables but clean and cozy. The portions were perfect for lunch. The corn tortillas were a bit undercooked, the meat a bit tough but the, beans, and rice were tasty. The sauce in the enchiladas was mildly spicy and flavorful. I might come back for the menudo on the weekend, but not the other food.

    Amazing food, customer service was fantastic. Owner came and talked to us and she was the sweetest lady and really cares about putting out quality. The carne asada was delicious and the best I've had in Vegas. We'll be back for sure!!!

    Carne asada taco and el pastor on hot cheeto tortilla

    The best tacos I've ever had! Homemade tortillas and delicious carne asada. The hot cheeto tacos were fire. The owner is also the absolute best. She was so incredibly sweet. My husband and I can't wait to go back. Definitely check this place out!!

    I made it to Abuela's for their 15th anniversary in business celebration. They had a huge party, some city council member made it there and other officials. A dj was present and a mariachi band was also present. A huge contingent of low rider vehicles were there ti help celebrate the occasion. Now let's get down to what I'm interested in, the food, I ordered the lengua taco and a al pastor. The lengua seemed to be just boiled with no spices to bring out some flavour, it was rather bland, just boiled lengua without any character. The al pastor is certainly not what I expected, I'm normally used to al pastor being more moist with a little sauce, this was also not the case. Other than their celebration the food was lacking for me. Nothing really special but passable.

    First off, customer service was amazing! I made my order a little complicated, the young lady had so much patience with me, not to mention did not mess up my order. LOL. The food was great, the carne asada had great flavor and the char added a great level of flavor.

    Hot cheetos tacos
    Roy M.

    Came here while visiting from Reno and honestly, I wish I ordered more. We got the Hot Cheetos tacos, asada gordita, lengua taco, chicharrón taco, and an asada taco. Everything was so good. The lengua taco is a MUST. Super tender and full of flavor, probably my favorite out of everything we tried. If you want something different, try the Hot Cheetos tacos. They're unique but actually really good, not just a gimmick. The asada gordita really impressed me too. The tortilla tasted freshly made and the texture was perfect. You can tell they care about what they're serving. On top of that, the customer service was great. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Vegas. Highly recommend.

    A shrimp taco, chicken taco, & 2 carne asada tacos.

    After a busy day working & running errands, I decided to grab a quick lunch to enjoy at home. I'd seen a lot of TikToks about this place, and it was on my way, so the timing was perfect. The restaurant has a super cute, homey vibe. The pictures of the abuelas on the wall are adorable, and the decor is both cozy & a bit eclectic. My food did take a little while, but I could see everything being made fresh, so I didn't mind the wait at all. I appreciate made-to-order food. I ordered a shrimp taco, a chicken taco, and two carne asada tacos. I'm glad I got a mix so I could try different options. The tortillas were delicious; honestly some of the best I've had in a while. They were fresh, slightly puffy, and sturdy enough to not fall apart. No need to double up. Loved them. The shrimp taco was decent. I assumed it'd be grilled shrimp, but I did enjoy the breading. The carne asada tacos were my favorite. Juicy, tender, flavorful, and just a little fatty in a good way. The meat had a delicious char flavor. I would order them again. The chicken taco, unfortunately, was very dry and a bit bland. Even after adding toppings and lime, it still didn't move me. Customer service was great and the prices are fair. One small downside was that online ordering wasn't available when I tried, which was disappointing. Granted, I didn't try calling, but the website does have a button to order online for pickup via GrubHub. Also, while most of the restaurant was clean, I did notice crumbs & what looked like a spill on the bench next to me. It looked like someone had the Hot Cheeto tacos & the bench hadn't been wiped off. Overall, this is a locally-owned worth checking out, especially for the carne asada.

    Breakfast burrito!
    Fady B.

    The Gorditas is primo! When you go, make sure you focus on the tacos and the Gorditas, fantastic place. The taste is really authentic and made with passion. The last time went, I was in between breakfast and lunch so I order something for each ... I had a Gordita for lunch and a Breakfast Burrito... this big burrito had a bit too much rice(which I didn't expect in the breakfast burrito), but it was very tasty still. The Gordita on the other hand was . Pressed and full of Asada. I would go back again and again if I am in the area.

    Hot cheeto tacos

    im glad they notice me a THE CHEETOS GIRLLL LOL because that's my favorite thing to get when I order from them I always order up to 4-8 tacos for myself like 3-4 time a week their service is OUTSTANDING I'm able to call just to make sure my order is correct I've been eating at this place for 2 years now and haven't stop ! I recommend everyone coming here When they want authentic Mexican food their posole is also good as well

    Our first time coming here and we were greeted by Leslie the owner. You can tell she takes pride in her business and delivering amazing food. We had the tacos and tortas Al pastor and chicken flautas and tacos. All were so delicious and the handmade tortillas were just the icing on top. Not a lot of places do tortillas hechos a mano so we're happy we found this spot. The owner was so nice. She came out and asked us how our food was and just had a nice chat with her. She even gave my son complimentary rice and beans and said I know my kids liked this when they were little and she was right haha. Don't let the unassuming shopping center fool you. This place is definitely a must try when in Vegas.

You walk in and there are numbered counters where you order your food based on type, there is signage so don't be intimidated. If you're ordering takeout, just put it on a tray and the cashier will bag it for you along with any beverages or sauces you so desire. They also have a huge dining area with booths and plenty of seating. The staff was super friendly and helpful; nobody was an asshole. We ordered Adobada Vampiro and Adobada Quesadillas and the pork was really good, they weren't stingy at all, would definitely be returning next time we do a staycation.

The only time I visit is usually when we're staying at the Wynn/Encore since it's within walking distance. We stopped in for lunch this time and it wasn't the best idea on a hot day since they don't have AC. Their ordering system is a little difficult because you have to get in the right line for the type of food you want to order and when it's busy it can be take awhile. They're known for their Tijuana style tacos and specifically their adobada ones. I got an Adobada Taco ($4.12) and a half order of Carne Asada Fries ($11.09) this time. The adobada was a little dry and spicier than I remember. Their carne asada fries are pretty basic with crema, avocado sauce and cheese. Not the best but the carne asada had pretty good flavor. It's not the best Mexican food, but if you just want cheap or late night eats, this place will do the job.

They have a Loteria drinking game, with each card matching a drink on the menu. Fun idea, but when explained seemed confusing. The drink was ok, too sweet for me and a little small for the price. Menu highlights for me was The dirty corn, salsa flight, and my (2) taco plate. The dirty corn was a standout with elote-style corn in a bowl, topped with chicharron, chorizo, and spicy mayo. It delivers that street corn flavor, but with a good mix of textures and spice. My tacos were delicious. I tried one grilled shrimp taco and one carnitas taco, served with rice and beans. The blue corn tortillas were a nice touch and pillowy soft! The carnitas were amazing, great flavor and super tender. I shrimp tacos were just as good and when topped with their habanero, verde, and roja salsa, that heat and flavor depth gets elevated! Overall, it's a dependable neighborhood spot with a fun atmosphere, creative touches, and good food that makes it worth a visit if you are in the area!

Unfortunately, the food continues to be mediocre and certainly isn't the reason I kept returning. What made CHICA enjoyable were the dancers, the performances, and the energy they brought to the restaurant. That was the experience. That was the entertainment. That was what separated CHICA from being just another overpriced restaurant with average food. Today, I was informed that management decided to cancel the dance performances. Brilliant decision. Apparently someone in management looked at the one thing customers actually enjoyed and thought, "You know what would make this place better? Let's get rid of it." I'm also clearly not the only person wondering what happened. Other customers were asking why the dancers were no longer performing. Maybe management should take the hint. As a local customer who has returned multiple times, I'm done. There is absolutely no reason for me to keep coming back now. Mediocre food without the entertainment is just... mediocre food. Whoever made the decision to eliminate the performances should seriously reconsider their understanding of hospitality and customer experience. If this was supposed to be an improvement, I'd hate to see what management considers a bad decision. And while you're reviewing questionable decisions, please do something about the DJ. The music is terrible, completely out of touch, and does absolutely nothing for the atmosphere. At this point, replacing the DJ might be the easiest improvement management could make. Great job, management. You took something unique and entertaining and turned it into something completely forgettable. You lost a loyal local customer--and judging by the reactions I heard tonight, I doubt I'll be the only one. Dj and management suck!
