    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Sorry! Wasn't impressed. Idk....everything tasted like it was missing something. My son got a bean and cheese burrito.... We shared the carne asada fries and I got the chicken Flautas with rice n beans. I messed up and should have got beef! Oh well!

    Carne Asada Tacos

    I got the carne asada tacos from Abuela's and they were very good. We took our order to go, but there is seating available if you want to dine in. We had heard about the freshly made tortillas and they definitely lived up to the hype and they were amazing. The flavor of the meat was also excellent and everything tasted fresh. The workers were very kind and you can tell they put a lot of effort into their food and service. The inside of restaurant has a simple, welcoming feel that makes it easy to enjoy a meal there if you choose to stay. If I lived closer, I would definitely come back more often.

    Hot Cheetos Tacos
    Robin H.

    I came here on a whim as it was one of the places I've wanted to try whenever I was in Vegas seeing it on my Instagram. The service was very helpful and kind. Ambiance inside gave me a very family friendly experience. I got their Hot Cheetos Tacos (asada) and they were pretty big. It was like 2 small tacos packed in 1. Their tortilla is handmade I believe and the tacos were pretty good. The asada didnt taste as fresh but still packed a punch. It's definitely a must try.

    The aroma of food when we walked in we knew it would be tasty. Decided to try their famous hot Cheetos taco and get it with asada. And wanted to get a burrito but not be too full so decided the bean and cheese. The tortilla was handmade there so even better. Very soft texture and had a kick to it. The habanero salsa I liked better than the green. Very clean establishment even restrooms were spotless. Great customer service and fast.

    Al pastor Torta.

    I have no idea how this place has so many positive reviews because the food is an absolute insult to authentic Mexican cuisine. It tastes like bottom-tier cafeteria food. I ordered the torta al pastor and it was completely inedible. The meat was a salty mess but somehow had zero actual flavor, the bread was the cheapest quality possible, and they literally just tossed a whole tomato inside instead of actually preparing it. It was so repulsive I couldn't even finish it. If you want real Mexican food, stay far away from this place. It is pure garbage.

    Okay so I went BACK to Abuela's and had a much better experience. This time I got a birria hot Cheetos taco and the birria gordita. EXCELLENT. The flavors were popping all through out my meal this time. No crumbs were left. My friend got a chicken asada fries- ate every single bite. The staff was also great, friendly, attentive! Thank you all so very much. Would highly recommend!

    Food is authentic Sonoran Mexican food with a variety I have never seen before. The only thing you…read morewon't see is pollo (chicken), but if its meat from a cow or pig, it's probably available. A word of warning, despite offering street tacos, this isn't really "fast" food, I stood in line for nearly an hour at lunchtime on a Friday. Layout and ordering can be confusing but start by finding a tray, if they are busy, there nay not be any at the counter. As you enter, scan the menu. If you are alone, Get in the line that matches most of what you w nt. Better still if you are not alone is the divide and conquer system, each person getting in line for a meat you want. If alone, you can order mire than one, you just order that lines meat, say lengua tacos, then let them know you also want however many of whatever meat/what, say 3 adobado tacos. You do NOT pay at the counter instead weaving your way back toward the register where you pay.

    I went in with a big recommendation from a busy of mine…read more Walking in, and having to get a tray and line up according to what he's you wanted was ...... unusual. But, whatever. I got the steak tacos, because they didn't have chicken. Not that they ran out. They didn't offer it. Signs for other meats though. That was ...... unusual. Them, we sat down in a booth and ate. I'm not a huge asada fan, so this might be my bias. The tacos weren't bad. But, I wasn't blown away. I think I was too hungry to be objective. I would probably rank them as "ok." Some things to consider: 1. The place has a cafeteria feel. I prefer a restaurant style, sit down, and have a waitress come to serve me. 2. No chips and salsa. 3. It was crowded when we went. It was probably about midnight on a Monday or Tuesday. I can only imagine how hectic it is on a weekend.

    If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with an atmosphere that's full of nostalgia and heart,…read moreLa Vecindad Mexican Restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we felt like we had stepped into the world of the beloved classic Mexican television show El Chavo del 8. The décor perfectly captures the charm and warmth of "la vecindad," making it a fun experience for both adults who grew up watching the show and younger generations experiencing it for the first time. The food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared with authentic Mexican flavors that truly stood out. The drinks were just as impressive--refreshing, expertly made, and the perfect complement to our meal. What really made our visit special was the incredible service. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making us feel like family from start to finish. The restaurant also has a wonderful family-friendly atmosphere where everyone can relax, laugh, and enjoy a great meal together. La Vecindad isn't just a place to eat--it's an experience filled with delicious food, amazing drinks, exceptional service, and a nostalgic tribute to El Chavo del 8 that brings smiles to every table. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Mexican cuisine and a memorable dining experience. Five stars all the way!
