I was in Vegas for a convention and somehow ended up at BBQ Mexicana every single day. That says a lot considering how many food options are readily available. Day one: the BLTA salad. Fresh, colorful, and way more flavorful than I expected. The croutons deserve their own shoutout: I could've eaten a whole bowl of just those. Day two: the Brisket Lover Bowl. It's a lot of food in the best way. The brisket was tender, not overly fatty, and had great flavor. And if you're wondering, "cowboy caviar" is basically beans... learned that one on the spot. Everything I tried was solid...I'll be back again, and again...and again. read more

BBQ Mexicana - Brisket Lover - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Friendly and helpful staff at the counter. I was working at the Convention Center and took a quick spin thru the food court and nothing looked good. I decided to wander into the shoppes and casino and luckily found this place on my way. Not too far of a distance and the food was quick and delicious. Everything sounded good and the attendant suggested the brisket. I opted for the bowl as I like to eat with a fork and it had some broccolini and guacamole to boot. This will be my go to next time I work here. read more

When staying at the Mandalay Bay, BBQ Mexicana is a fantastic option if you want a tasty & quick meal that won't break the bank. It's also super close to the Convention Center at Mandalay Bay so could be a good option for all you con-goers. They're actually only open for weekday lunch from 11am to 4pm, so seem to cater to that crowd. Now they are a sister restaurant of Border Grill, run by celebrity chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken, so you can be confident in the deliciousness of what you're getting. I went with their Slow Smoked Brisket tacos which came in a set of two for $11 on flour tortillas. The tacos are a newer addition to their menu in the past year and I'm so thankful for a smaller sized option on their menu! The Smoked Brisket tacos come with cilantro coleslaw, crispy potatoes, mexican cheese, chipotle mayo, and bbq sauce ~ a great combination. Did I mention their chocolate chip cookies are bomb? They sure are and I regret not getting a second one! This surprised me as being one of my favorite lunches when in Vegas recently! I'm a fan and would absolutely get BBQ Mexicana again. read more

One of the only restaurants in the hotel, that aren't over priced. My chicken barely looked like it was cooked. it didnt look appetitizing just plain chicken slightly brushed with a dry rub.but I was so hungry I decided to eat it anyway. My mistake, I was extremely sick later after eating this meal. With terrible pains, and I'm thinking it was from the chicken. The bowl did have some flavor, not sure I would eat t again but I would recommend no chicken if someone did. read more

This food is absolutely amazing! However, it is expensive. I got guacamole on the side as well and it cost $11 but it was very very good guacamole. Were they really get you in prices as any of the drinks you buy. The two drinks that you seen in the picture were each six dollars, which was insane. However, I have to admit that the tacos were delicious and so was the guac. read more

As far as affordable inside a Vegas casino goes, you can't do much better than BBQ Mexicana! I was in town for a week for a work conference and cannot recommend the BBQ burrito strongly enough! The staff was always kind and prompt with the service too! read more

This place is fantastic! I'm not prone to exaggeration but the pulled pork tacos might be the best thing I've ever eaten in Vegas. And I've been tons of places. read more

Got their smoked brisket burrito (asked for their BBQ sauce, supposedly sweet sauce on the side). The meat was very flavorful. Friendly service. Was quick to order and get the dish. Because of its location, not many folks get their food there when there's an event in Mandalay Bay convention center. Next time should try avocado chicken dish. read more

BBQ Mexicana - Colorful decor. Simple menu. - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I stumbled upon this place because I was starving and too tired to find the food court here at Mandalay Bay. Right place at the right time. I grabbed a Cobb salad topped with brisket. Not your typical Cobb by any stretch. A lot less lettuce, one slice of hard boiled egg. The rest was a unique mix of veggies that was quite good but just not expected. The meat was delicious and came from the bbq place across the walkway. Quite tasty. read more

Was staying at Mandalay Bay & finally got to try them. They are only open Monday through Friday from 11 to 4 so very short window of time to try them. I have the barbecue Chicharron they were fresh well seasoned, with both a smoky and sweet taste. The burning burrito may be one of the best burritos I've ever had. It was packed with brisket, so you easily get what you pay for. The brisket was seasoned well and a good smoke taste to it. The rice was seasoned perfectly had the right amount of cheese and it's like a coleslaw that balance perfectly with the brisket. The service was fast and friendly as it was only two people working on a Monday. Will definitely try them again if I'm ever there during the week while they're open. read more

IMO the BEST grab and go food option in Mandalay Bay!! When the lines and wait times are crazy everywhere else, this place has little to no line thanks to their quick service. I tried the pulled pork burrito and smoked tofu bowl and enjoyed them both. They also have amazing portion sizes and pricing for Vegas!!! Around $14 for a biggg rice bowl or burrito! Not a huge fan of the smoky bbq flavoring they use on all their protein options, but that's just a personal preference (: read more

BBQ Mexicana - Smoked Tofu - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We had a trade show here and it was packed all around. Lines for every restaurant. There was also a food court but the choices wasn't great so my coworker and I decided to wonder more to see what is the better choice and deal. Being in the convention doesn't give you much of anything. We stumbled upon this place cause the line was a bit shorter and price was better than what other choices offered. Thankfully we got the bowl so it's less messy than the burrito. The burrito was also kinda small for $13... For 4 bowls and a bbq Chicharron, it came out to be $71. That isn't bad but portion wise it was also small. I ate the chicken "the coop" bowl. It was a bit bland and the chicharron was overly salty. Would I wait for 1 hour to get food here again? Probably not but if you have no other choice, this place is probably your best choice for food. read more

It's a counter- not much to complain about. Ordering was easy. Menu not extensive . Service was lovely, quick and attendant at counter gave good recommendation to help my indecisive mind. Food was prepare quickly and everything was in order, neatly packed. She recommended only goodness to me. I ate every morsel with gratitude. I had carry out, I guess there are chairs near by, but I took my food to my room. It's a long walk back to my room, walked off some of those chips. Coop bowl for me. Delicious. Brisket wrap for the hubby. Both very good. Guacamole kinda not what I would expect, it's not just avocado- def something is or maybe not haas variety. So I went back for dinner, by they were closed. So I'll have yo wait until tomorrow. lol. I'm kidding- read more

Wow, great food and service! It's always nice to hear good morning from a store that is appreciative of your patronage! read more

By far the best lunch I had while at Mandalay Bay for a conference. Line moves fast, took 10-15mins to get my bowl but was worth the wait. There are some high top tables around between BBQ Mexicana and the Border Grill close by, that people would wait at / sometimes eat their bowl or burrito at. The Coop bowl was awesome - great blend of flavors and the chicken was falling apart with my fork, it was so soft and tasty! Would definitely come back for a quick but tasty and filling bite. read more

While waiting for hotel check in we decided to explore Delano and Mandalay Bay. Location: Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. We arrived fairly early in the morning (9am) so most of the shops and restaurants werent set to open for a couple of hours. After a while we decided we'd chose a place with quick access as we were starving after a 5am flight across time zones. As we set to loop back, we noticed the staff setting up items to begin the morning. At this point, we were able to see the wall menu and decided to give them a try. I don't think any of us expected the quality, freshness and flavor that we received. I pondered for a while but ultimately chose the brisket lover bowl. There was a seasonal margarita,blood orange, which is one of my favorite flavors. Let me tell you it definitely packed a punch!!! I added a chips and salsa trio as well. The bowl was very filling and held me over until the next meal. Nice portion size for the price. read more

Absolutely recommend this place if you're looking for something to eat quickly. Located in Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, more of the side by the convention center, next to Shark Reef and next to the food court, but not in the food court. I received my food pretty quickly after I ordered. Even though I asked for non-spicy food, the cashier assured me that the meal would not be spicy, IT WAS SPICY. The manager quickly responded and fixed the problem. They remade my order without all the spicy ingredients! The newly made food was delicious! Thank you for accommodating me with this! Keep it in mind that this place is not a sit down restaurant! There are no tables and chairs, only one table with few, maybe 3-4 bar seats. I would definitely eat here again! read more

Decided to try out BBQ Mexican at the Allegiant stadium and it wasn't my favorite. The burrito was ok. My tortilla was soggy and the flavors weren't all there.

I am so glad I noticed this place during lunch this past week. It was so good, I ate two days in a row. I didn't even know when I passed it that it was part of Border Grill, across the hallway; however, when I tasted my food and realized how delicious it was -- I should have immediately realized. Border Grill has always been a favorite of ours here in Los Angeles, and this quick service outpost is no exception. The brilliant minds and chefs in Mary and Susan have done it again. Two days in a row, I ordered the Pulled Pork burrito. It was a large burrito with cheese, coleslaw, fried onions, crispy jalapenos and some chipotle aioli. Now, I ordered it without The Aioli, as I am not a fan of mayo -- and I requested a side of green salsa. That was the only thing that irritated me. The extra charge for the salsa, when I took off the aioli anyway. I have to tell you, it was just probably one of the most delicious burritos I have ever had. The pulled pork was smoked and seasoned so well. All of the ingredients complimented one another, and just YUM YUM YUM It is in an easy location in the Convention Center area of Mandalay Bay right across from Border Grill. Easy to find and you should definitely try it. The price is reasonable for what you get and for the fact that it is on the Las Vegas Strip. read more

The location is great and the interior is so pretty and relaxing. Alexis was super attentive and an excellent host. I loved how they maximized the seating which gives privacy in an open space. Don't let the name fool ya, I didn't experience any "Mexicana" flavors but the food was ok. I ordered the smoked brisket burrito. It was a wild ride. I wasn't expecting the flavors that the burrito presented and was a bit overwhelmed. The brisket was seasoned but a wee dry and the coleslaw was a yummy unexpected crunch with the papas. And the salsa was good on its own, but IMO but didn't serve the combo of flavors well. Overall, the food was ok but for me and my palette, there were too many dimensions and flavors that did not play fair together. They also have an assortment of Jarritos and I'd never had the guava flavor before. That was such a great choice. Would I visit again - no. But if asked about it I'd definitely suggest a try but not to expect a "Mexican" taste. read more

I stopped by the BBQ Mexicana location last week when I was in town for a convention at the Mandalay Bay. I believe that the spot has changed in concept a couple of times but it's always been a quick service grab and go location which is amazing. It was late in the afternoon and since I was hungry I decided to stop in. I knew I was going to be eating food court food a bunch so I decided to venture out and order from here since this is a little further out. Luckily, there wasn't much of a line so I was able to place my order. I believe they also have online orders where you can skip the line and pick up your food. I got the Burnt Ends burrito and a pineapple agua fresca. The burrito is very filling I saved half of it for food later and the agua fresca I finished right away because it was so good and refreshing. I would say to be sure to check the times they are open. I'm pretty sure I just got there as they were closing and it was in the afternoon. There were a lot of great items on there that I will have to try next time I'm in town! read more

I came here for lunch on a Wednesday, it was during a convention, so it was pretty busy. But the line moves very fast. I got the coop bowl which had a good portion of flavorful chicken. Nice scoop of guac too. Nothing super unique about it. Next time I would opt for something that is a little more unique like the brisket bowl, or the kale salad. read more

I stopped by for a quick breakfast and ordered a breakfast burrito. The reason I removed a star is because the cross-section was not like the picture.

What matters most is I left satisfied. read more

Ordered thru Easy Cater for work and was surprised how delicious the chicken bowl was! Loved all the textures and flavors!

Delicious! Good portion burrito. Reasonably priced - $15 - for being in the casino/convention area! Service was great, cashier helped suggest the best vegan option for me. Wait time not too long like the food court during busy conferences. read more

Chris did a great job of taking care of my lunch order today. Still on Michigan time, I was first in line at 11AM today when this place opened. I tried the burnt ends burrito which was for sure bursting with many flavors. My only hope is that sometime the restaurant would offer this in two sizes, smaller one at a lesser price point. I do not like paying and not being able to finish a burrito this size. It surely could have been cut in half and shared if two people wanted to share an excellent lunch! Once again to Chris and the staff thanks for lunch today ! read more

Chose this restaurant in Mandalay Bay by smell! We shared the burnt ends burrito & brisket bowl they were both fabulous!! The bowl had more veggies/variety but they were both sooo good! read more

I like the fusion idea of bbq and Mexican food and so this really fit the bill for the situation we were in. We were at a conference where we had passed this along the way, and the conference food was so mediocre that we came here to branch out. It was a great call as I had ordered the Coop bowl and it really hit the spot, very filling and flavorful. It might be a little more of an upscale version of Chipotle. read more

I mildly enjoyed eating the food at BBQ Mexicana. The food was somewhat unmemorable but did the job to satiate our hunger when we didn't want to invest the time at a sit-down restaurant nor adventure into the food court next door. The Avocado Chicken Burrito quickly became unpleasantly soggy as we bit in, and the sauce in the Brisket Lover Bowl did a mediocre job at masking the dryness of the meat. I would say the flavors of both were on point but wouldn't warrant a revisit in the future. read more

Had the burnt end's burrito. Was so delicious. It was jam packed with meat and coleslaw with a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce and spicy aioli. The crispy potatoes inside gave it a nice crunch and added texture to every bite. Big enough to share and I was definitely full with my half! read more

Holy cow yes! My tastebuds have been blown away! On a whirl I decided to swing over to Mandalay Bay to check out BBQ Mexicana. It is a quick walk from the parking ramp to get there. It's even easier if you are already at the MB Convention Center. We walked up and placed an order for a bunch of Burnt Ends Burritos. They were ready fast and we took them the the available seating. AMAZING! It is hard to describe the flavor explosion these things pack. The burnt ends with that killer slaw they have going on... wow. I was having happy burps all afternoon. I am so excited to get back I can even describe it. The menu is not huge, but it has what you need! Well worth the trip! read more

This place is a solid and affordable joint for a quick bite in the Mandalay Bay. You order at the counter and either take your food to-go or sit at the small tables out front. This is not a classic sit-down establishment. The breakfast Egg White Burrito is 5/5 stars. The burrito is huge and was filling. They load it up with sauce which was greatly appreciated. Good choice if you're on-the-go in the morning and don't want to shell out $20 for breakfast. I took one star off for how messily wrapped my burrito was but other than that, yummy choice! read more
