One bite -- light, fluffy, perfectly seasoned -- and the orchid just sat there looking proud, as if to say "yes, you're eating fancy now." Paired with their salsa and that brilliant lakeside breeze, it was pure morning magic. ​ Whimsical, delicious, inexpensive, and way more charming than it has any right to be. Brunch fairytale achieved. read more

Service: When I arrived I didn't know where to check in at. I walked inside and waited for two minutes before someone noticed me and told me to find a seat. My wife and I sat down and weren't greeted for another 10 minutes. Waitress dropped of menus and walked away. She came out 8 minutes later to order food for a table of about 8. That took 10 more minutes and we didn't see her for a while after that. Ultimately we got up and left due to the extremely slow service. Pretty sure the food is good but we didn't have two hours to try it. read more

It's a very cute relaxing environment. Staff is very friendly and the food is amazing.! We had the chicken enchilada with Verde sauce, so tasty, chicken, taquitos, plenty of avocado and cheese for your liking and a chicken taco Would highly recommend this place read more

This hidden little spot is located in the Lakeside Village within the Desert Shores neighborhood. Small and intimate setting with tables outside only. I met up with my good friend and fellow Yelper from Reno, Nevada. We had the place to ourselves initially but it did get busier. The weather was perfect so sitting outside was perfect. They serve breakfast, lunch and also cater. I decided on the Huevos Rancheros with rice and beans. I also ordered the Sun on the Lake which was mango, pineapple, orange juice and coconut water. A very refreshing drink to start the day with. My Huevos were tasty and filling. Their salsa's are so delicious too plus homemade. Service was friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our experience here. I will try lunch next time. read more

Buena Vista Kitchen was a family pleaser! The food was absolutely delicious , the ambiance was beautiful and inviting, and the service was great.

Happy Valentine's Day!! This spot is such a perfect place to come for brunch with my girls on Valentine's Day. The first time my husband and I came here, we absolutely loved everything about this restaurant, and it definitely did not disappoint coming back. The patio seating is beautiful, it feels intimate and cozy, but still open and inviting. Just a great atmosphere overall. My little one ordered the pancakes, and they were topped with bananas and strawberries. They were super fluffy with a slight crisp on top, and the syrup was light and not overpowering. Honestly, the whole dish just felt comforting, like homemade pancakes straight from my own kitchen. The carne asada fries were delicious. The fries were crispy with a flaky outer texture, and the carne asada was chopped into perfect little bite sized pieces sprinkled evenly over the top. Paired with fresh, flavorful guacamole, it all came together really well. We also tried the quesabirria tacos (special). The flavor was good, but there wasn't much meat inside, and they only give a small 2oz container of consommé. I definitely wish they were a little more generous with both. Overall though, the food was good, the service was great, and we left happy. On our way out, we grabbed a caramel frappé latte, and that was delicious too! Such a sweet little brunch date spot for family time read more

Delicious place to eat and enjoy family time, date brunch, alone time, or with a small group of close friends. Very calm, quiet and relaxing intimate vibe. Outdoors. Cute little dining area. Nice waitresses. The food is very good. We catered my daughter's quince dinner from here and everyone loved it. We come here when we want authentic flavored homemade Mexican food. They also have a Birria that is t on the menu but just ask and the chef will bring it out. It's a lot of food so you might be able to share. Whether you are visiting or a local, you should take a bit of time to stop by and grab a quick bite, dessert, or even just a smoothie. You won't be disappointed. Make sure to arrive early tho bc they close by 3pm. read more

Plus side, food arrived hot and fast. Moderately priced. Downside, burnt toast. Had to ask for a remake when they shouldn't served it in the first place. Had to ask for EVERYTHING! Not pictured, pancakes but not butter or syrup. No salt or pepper on the table. read more

After a morning appointment, I stopped here for breakfast. Most of the seating is outside on the patio. They have fans and heaters to use depending on the season. It was 70º when I was there and the patio was a delight. It is all covered so there won't be sun shining in your face any time during the day. The patio is a very relaxing place. I was soon brought a menu. I ordered the Mexico City burrito and black coffee. With that section of the menu, you can get your breakfast as either a burrito or a crepe. In a short time, the burrito was brought, The dish and the burrito were very hot. The Mexico City is filled with chorizo, scrambled eggs, jalapeños, guacamole, and cotija cheese. This makes for a very hearty breakfast. The weight of the burrito with that good filling makes it a large, shareable breakfast. The coffee is served inn a colorful cup and the coffee was great! I didn't know this was here until I happened to be in the plaza a few months ago. It gives me a reason to go to Desert Shores. read more

So I looked at reviews before going but didn't see a spot for its only outside dining. It was cooler out when I visited so it was not pleasant. It's a small place and they do have heaters. Didn't help. Staff was friendly though. Ordered the choriqueso because I saw a picture on here earlier and it did not look the same when it arrived but it was still good but very very oily. We ordered the breakfast tacos. No flavor. Very disappointed. Chips and salsa was nice though. read more

Buena Vista Kitchen - Chirosoqueso - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Found this little spot on a Sunday and I'm so happy I did! It's a little hidden gem but the flavor is bold and delicious. My favorite was the patio seating and how transformative it feels. We ordered the surf and turf chilaquiles and the chorizo skillet. Both were delicious. The salsa had amazing flavor and depth. Service was great and attentive. The server recommended various house favorites and he didn't disappoint. The skillet was perfect with the chorizo and the perfectly cooked potatoes. The chilaquiles were flavorful and the portion was perfect. They were both topped with cream and queso fresco which sealed the deal. Both were delicious can't wait to go back and try more of they're menu. read more

What a great find for brunch after our son's soccer class! The homemade salsas were amazing, especially the Arbol (red) which was spicy & flavorful! I had the Mexico City burrito that had eggs, chorizo, pico de gallo, cheese, and avocado. One of the freshest & best burritos I have ever had. My son had his own breakfast plate with potatoes, scrambled eggs, and bacon. The breakfast potatoes were perfectly seasoned & cooked. Our female server was very nice, but the tall Latinx guy (older with a mustache) lacked customer service values. I politely asked him for a to go container, and he never came back (probably sexist). The restaurant only offered patio seating. I have to mention how great the coffee was too! read more

Buena Vista Kitchen - The Mexico City Breakfast Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Buena Vista Kitchen served up a pretty solid breakfast overall! The service was excellent due them being friendly, attentive, and fast, which definitely helped start the day off right. I had a crepe, and while it wasn't anything to rave about, it was still decent. Not bad at all, just didn't quite hit that "wow" factor for me. That said, the rest of the food we saw coming out looked fresh and tasty, and the flavors were definitely there. My main drawback was the seating situation. Outdoor seating in the Vegas heat during breakfast hours isn't exactly my ideal setup, and it made the experience a little less comfortable than I'd hoped. Some more misty shaded areas or indoor options would really elevate things here. Still, the food was pretty good, and the service really shined--so I'd come back, maybe just at a cooler time of day! read more

Been coming here for 6 years and Chef Manny and his team are incredible. I've brought family and friends here and they have enjoyed it every time. Food is delicious, they don't skip any steps, everything is made with love. The food is consistent every time as well as the service. I owed you guys one, thank you for another great experience this past weekend as well! You guys never disappoint! read more

Last minute breakfast decision -and a really good one. Not much for ambience, but excellent food and service. We were completely stuffed and out of the restaurant in just 30 minutes. Definitely worth a try. read more

We needed a central-ish location for brunch on a Sunday morning, so we Yelped! to find this new spot nestled in Desert Shores right on the lake! There's a lot of parking on the weekend, because the offices are closed, so we had no issues with that at all. We did make a reservation, just in case, and we were seated right away upon arriving. All the seating is outdoors, and in Vegas in August, that's rough. The menu is pretty standard for brunch, lots of breakfast and lunch options. We did breakfast burritos, chilaquiles, and taquitos, but we also tried a smoothie! Prices are pretty average for the area, so no sticker shock, and the food was decent. Aside from sitting outside, it was an ok experience. We would visit again during a more weather-friendly season, for sure. read more

Buena Vista Kitchen - Chilaquiles with green sauce - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I am not much of a Mexican food fan but after my first "take out" from this place, I became hooked! This is a lovely little garden restaurant with easy parking. I ordered a shrimp quesadilla with no spice and it was the best one I have ever had in all of my 76 years! The portion was so large, I took home half and had it for lunch the following day. The tortilla was freshly made and the shrimp was fresh and seasoned perfectly. I ordered a large fresh squeezed orange juice and watched them squeeze my drink in their open kitchen. The staff is friendly and professional. You must try this place because after you experience Buena Vista Kitchen, every other Mexican eatery will be second rate. It's located on the water in Desert Shores and worth the trip there. It's as good as any restaurant on the strip...maybe better!!!! read more

I'm visiting Vegas, and my local friends wanted a Mexican brunch spot--so we found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a shot. Now, this is their new go-to spot, and I'm definitely coming back the next time I visit. They start you off with chips and salsa, which were good, but I wish the salsa had a chunkier texture. We ordered a large choriqueso, and it was amazing--way better (and cheaper) than the one we had on the Strip the day before. The shrimp tacos were also incredible. I only ordered one, and honestly, I should have gotten more. For my main, I got the large salad bowl, and it was huge. Not only was it super filling, but it also tasted great--way better than anything you'd get from El Pollo Loco. The service was great, and the staff was super friendly. Overall, this place was a win, and I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for solid Mexican food in Vegas! read more

We felt that the food was expertly cooked and so authentic Mexican. It's fresh, hot and flavorful served in beautifully traditional plates and mugs.

Lovely breakfast/lunch/brunch spot in Desert Shores! Highly recommend. They have the best quesabirria tacos! They come with fresh onions & cilantro. The quesabirria sauce was heavenly! And it's on the side so you can personalize your dipping. I did notice that the price on the board was $1 less than I was charged, and I had asked if they charge for to go orders (they do not). The keto shrimp bowl was amazing! It was so fresh and the shrimp were pretty large. It has guac and salsa, which are such a great match with the shrimp. I love the outside seating area, which has been upgraded recently with a cute "Insta" (is that what the kids call it?) background. They have limited hours, which is a bummer cause I'd love to come here at night! Tell your friends and enemies, this spot is not be missed! read more

Missing food from my order, food was bland that was with the order. Only thing good was the drinks. Was a big disappointment.

The service was okay, but I feel like we weren't checked up on us as often as I would've liked but it's an outdoor eating place so I get it. They def get their regulars. Even with "reserved" signs on their tables (which kind of deterred us from choosing a table we would've preferred) it seems like it doesn't really matter. Their water tasted off. Like not dirty, but my friend thought they were infusing the water with something. I didn't really like it. My friend ordered the carnitas plate and it was okay but it tasted flat. She asked for limes and hot sauce to bring some flavor to it, also added a decent amount of salt too. I ordered two tacos, their fish taco and their Baja shrimp taco. The fish was such a small serving that I barely got any and it didn't taste that great. The shrimp one was fine, but also nothing to write home about. My friend and I split their equivalent of queso fundito which I appreciated that they have various sizes. We got the small. It has grilled poblano peppers in it. Their chips and salsa were good. I think my favorite thing were their chips and salsa. If you like your food on the not spicy kind of bland side, you would probably like this place. Their prices are very fair (3 Diet Coke cans, 2 tacos, the carnitas plate, and the queso cost less than $35) so I would consider going back, maybe to take my grandparents. It's cute outside and it's by the Desert Shore lakes so you can walk afterwards if you'd like. I will say though, someone ordered a torta and it was GIANT. Might try that next time. Def willing to give them another shot later down the line but it won't be a huge priority. read more

This place was so yummy! We love a good hearty breakfast and yummy sweet items to balance the whole meal. This place is primarily Mexican food. We had the breakfast burrito, the all American breakfast, pancakes and the carne asada skillet. All were amazing! We sat in the patio since the indoor portion is very small. The service was fast and attentive. I wish we could see more of the specials-they only showed that inside the storefront and not on the menus outside. read more

I recently visited Buena Vista Kitchen and had their asada wet burrito with red sauce, and it exceeded my expectations. The burrito was generously sized without breaking the bank, and the flavor was outstanding; it is easily better than most other Mexican restaurants I've tried in Vegas. The asada was perfectly seasoned and the red sauce complemented it beautifully. What really stands out is the quality you get for the price. This is exactly the kind of spot you want to support: locally owned, offering daily specials, and maintaining a welcoming atmosphere with charming outdoor seating coverage. The ambiance strikes a nice balance which casual enough for a quick lunch but with enough character to feel like a neighborhood favorite. If you're tired of overpriced chain Mexican food in Vegas and want authentic flavors at reasonable prices, Buena Vista Kitchen is absolutely worth checking out. Honestly, if I lived closer, I'd be coming here daily. I'll definitely be back to try more items on their menu. read more

Food is amazing along with the service. Love the outdoor seating. Especially this time of year.

wanted to love it based on reviews and closeness to my house. -Got their carne asada burrito because it's their best seller and it was good but not great. Specially for $14!!! And didn't come with anything!!! -online pricing is different from their in store.. why??, example: carne asada burrito is $13 online and $14 in person!!? -location is very small and few seats available. Cute but also mehhh. -owner had a nice attitude but staff didn't. -pick up food was packaged poorly. When I got home beans and rice were all mixed up and juice was coming out of the container and ruined the napkins.. read more

Buena Vista Kitchen - "Veggie" omelet. It has cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I've been coming here for a few months and the food is always amazing and staff is always nice. However, the service I received today was unacceptable. I always dine in, however today I ordered pick-up through Yelp. When I arrived 10 minutes later, the cashier said it would be a few more minutes. That was fine I stepped to the side and Manny (who has always been kind before) asks me did I order through Grubhub. I said I ordered through yelp. He proceeds to tell me that the ticket had "just printed" and added, "we are not a fast food restaurant," before walking away and discussing it with his workers in the kitchen. I believe he assumed I was a delivery driver which in fact I was not a delivery driver; I was a paying customer waiting patiently. This experience left me disappointed, and unfortunately, it will be the last time I give them my business. read more

Very nice place, good service, and delicious tasty food. I recommend without a doubt!!

...5 star worthy but... I hate to take the last the star away because of service but...yeah Unfortunately yes I have to.. damn Ok the food was good near great the breakfast chilaquiles with asada and yeah the meat was tender and verde sauce was awesome. Now the bad... service wise I get it one waitress for I believe 8 to 10 tables a bit much especially on a Sunday but...here we go...I got sat down promptly no problem I understand it was just me waiting on Second person but it's breakfast and what is needed if your grown adult? COFFEE!!! Anyways I sat there good 10 min no COFFEE or water or chips smh The owner did pass by a few times and others including waitress...would have been nice to ask anything to drink while you wait? Maybe appetizers??? Upcharge correct? I finally flag owner down and response was we knew you were waiting on someone...still need COFFEE!!! Anyways it was good after that One other thing you might want to ask before you put cream on chips(which was nice for me) but I had a person who is allergic to dairy so he had to wait for Second round...again nice place would love to come back and try more food and I will... just have to have my first cup of coffee at home just in case lol read more

We love our breakfasts and looking for new little spots to try and take family when they are in town. We yelped for breakfast after my daughter's Saturday morning soccer game and saw that Buena Vista Kitchen was close by and had great reviews so we gave it a shot. BVK is located in Desert Shores in the Lakeside Village Plaza. It's a bit hard to find and does not have much for signs so you really have to look for it. It has a very small patio on the first floor just off the parking lot hidden behind some greenery and decor. The patio area is the only dining area and while decorated nicely it has an awkward feel and is quite cramped. There's also quite a bit of traffic and noise since it is right off the parking lot and in the middle of the plaza walkway, so lots of pedestrian traffic through the dining area as well. We arrived around 10:30 and were seated at a very small table up against the outside wall of the restaurant, it looked like the only one available but was a very tight fit for me, my wife and our daughter. We started with two coffees and an OJ while we looked at the menu over. The menu is not very large or extensive, but does have a few good options, depending on what you are looking for. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, my wife ordered the Chilaquiles and we got our daughter the French Toast with a scrambled egg, hash browns and side of bacon. Our breakfast came out to about $56 for the three of us, a bit pricey in my opinion. Overall the food was good, nothing great but not bad either. To be fair, my wife's family is from Mexico so our standards are a bit high when it comes to Mexican food. I could have used a little more flavor and spice from our dishes here, they were a little bland. My daughter on the other hand loved her French Toast and pretty much devoured it, so that is a plus! The staff was friendly and the service was good so no complaints there. Once you are done, you will not get a check so just walk inside to the counter and pay there when you are ready. We are always happy to try out small local places and are glad we tried BVK, so go ahead and give it a shot for yourself and see what you think! read more
