    Went here after church with a bunch of my girlfriends. None of us spoke Spanish, but the kind employee was so accommodating and explained everything about the menu to us. I didn't feel like a fish-out-of-water like some of the other Hispanic-owned hole-in-the-walls. We were told that the menu is based on Ecuadorean cuisine so they use a different variation of meats and sauces than the Mexican taco. Unfortunately, they don't offer platter combos, so you would need to order your tacos and sides a la carte. I ordered the pina drink with two asada tacos and one pollo taco. All the tacos came with just the tortilla and meats, and the onions and cilantro came on the side in little bags. They also gave us bags of like wedges and spicy sauces (none of which I could handle as they were too spicy for me). The tacos were okay, but what stood out to me were their tortillas. I'm not sure if they made them in-house, but they felt and tasted homemade. They were irregularly shaped but had a doughy texture. Some of my friends ordered from the entree menu and their portions were ginormous! (See photo). My friend told me that her steak was a bit dry though. Overall, we had a positive experience here. We also did not have issues splitting the checks among us 6 women. The music and conversations were a bit on the louder side, so just be aware.

    Consomé and rice
    Brizette C.

    This place is absolutely amazing! Every time I come to Vegas I have attempt to find a good goat barbacoa and consomé restaurant and had not been able to for years until now. Not only is the food great but the staff makes you feel like family. Immediately as you walk in they greet you with a big smile. The prices are great and they have good family deals. The goat meat here is the best around with a doubt.Although the restaurant is small the inside is beautiful and the atmosphere is amazing. If you haven't been in yet, drop by for lunch or dinner.

    The salsas were so good!
    Diana S.

    Okay, I so I need to start my review by saying what an amazing man the owner is. When we walked in there was a homeless individual who we could almost believe to be on something, nothing he was saying made sense. BUT the owner did not kick him out, on the contrary he FED THIS PERSON! He didn't ask for money or anything he fed him and had the patience until the man left. This made me want to support this business 1000% more! Now, FOOD. The food was DELICIOUS! I ordered carne asada tacos for my kiddos and my husband ordered sopes. The tortillas were FRESHLY made, the carne asada was so well seasoned that alone it tasted amazing! My husband said the sopes were FIRE! I ordered a combination plate and a small consome! It was absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend this place! Now the look of the restaurant, it's a tiny spot for sure but I went into the restroom and it was one of the cleanest I've seen in a long time! The tables were so cute & the Christmas decorations he had was just enough! The man who helped us, who I believe to me the owner was amazing & his customer service was 100%!

    Chilaquiles With over-easy eggs.
    Megan N.

    This place does not look like much from the outside, but is quite a hidden gem. The food is very fresh and authentic. The sauce used in the chilaquiles is made in-house and super flavorful. Anyone who likes spicy would probably enjoy this dish. I also thought the prices for the portions we got were reasonable, and the staff are friendly. I would definitely come back here.

    Great Barbacoa!

I had the mahi mahi tacos and they were too much for me, in part because they came with three sides, all delicious. My husband had the carne asada quesadilla and enough left over for lunch tomorrow. I tried the lime margarita, also excellent, and we couldn't leave without trying the churros for dessert. The ambience is lovely, with gorgeous decor, comfortable booths, and an excellent Hispanic music playlist. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Big shoutout to our server, Brandy, who knew just when to replace the lemonade, and suggested the excellent street corn. We will be back very soon!

I really like the interior decor which is like a very contemporary and upscale Mexican. They have a variety of table and booth seating and a large bar. Our server, Hunter, was very friendly and attentive. He always ended every interaction with "have fun!" I tried the "el corazon" sangria which was delicious! It had a wonderful, warm flavor with a light hint of cinnamon yet it was still cold and refreshing! A cool tip - each drink comes with a little card with a symbol on it and the drink ingredients. Save this card! At each table is a game board of sorts that offers various prizes as you match the cards on the game board sort of like bingo. We really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa, and we tried the traditional guacamole with vegetables as well. The guacamole was wonderfully cool and creamy and flavorful. For my entree, I tried the chicken fajitas which is served on a steaming platter with various accompaniments. This was also very delicious, and the chicken was quite flavorful and juicy. A small side note - it was served with a cous cous of sort, but I think I would've preferred a simple Spanish rice. The chicken portion size also seemed a bit smaller than when we get fajitas at Chili's. I would recommend you get double meat if you want to share. We decided to try the chocolate flan and the fried ice cream sundae for dessert. I preferred the flavor of the flan and the unique textures of the flan which had the jiggly caramel flan part on top of a more cake like chocolate part below. I honestly think the fried ice cream was not too good. It did not taste freshly fried, and the coating was very dry and brittle and hard to eat. I prefer the places that serve the fried ice cream warm with a very bubbly crust that is both crunchy outside and a bit soft inside. This was not that. Overall, though, we really enjoyed the dining experience here! We will probably return and try their weekday "Fajitas and Ritas" special! I recommend Hola!

Perfect for a romantic date, business dinner or celebrating something. Food is Mexican upscale an very exquisite. They have original drinks and each dish is beautifully decorated. We ordered a Matcha Martini (can't even describe how good it was). For food we had the Crispy Calamari and Chicken Enchiladas. Perfect for sharing, delicate and it is a explosion of flavors in your mouth. Service is so outstanding, Mariah and Jesus were our servers. You get assigned two servers even being a party of two. Since entering the restaurant we were treated like VIP and everyone said Happy Anniversary to us. They had even read our special instructions of dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free). At the end of our dining experience the Chef sent us a Dairy Free, Gluten free and Vegan dessert on the house to celebrate oour special day. It was such the perfect touch to end our dining experience. It was our first time here, we will definitely come back and reserve for a later time since the only thing we missed were the performers because they show up later at night.
