    Taco de carnitas y chicharon
    Maria R.

    Tacos dorados were okay I would probably just get them with no carnitas since they lack flavor the birria needs flavor..the chicharon taco was good I think everything needed more flavor it was just bland

    Buen servicio buena comidad son muy amables 100 por siento recomendado overall the food was great and amazing experience with family eating the traditional food

    Flautas and chicharrón con guacamole

    This was really good... pulled up and it was empty but man the food was great! So bomb... fast and friendly service. It was quiet enough to have a conversation but they had music.. that was nice... the food was the main thing... definitely coming back

    Stopped by for a quick lunch and I have to say I am impressed and definitely will be back! I was immediately greeted as I walked in and handed a menu. Very nice young ladies working there. The place is a cute fast food restaurant with food that's taken a lot of time to prepare. I ordered the 1 lb carnitas (they forget my mixto) no worries the food was still good. They gave tortillas, salsa and limes. I also order a side of guacamole. Really good. I took the chicharrón en salsa verde but was not a big fan of it. Regardless of that I really enjoyed the food and will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

    My friend brought me here hyping this place up. We ordered the chicharron with guacamole as an appetizer which was good. He ordered the menudo with no pata. I'm a sucker for carnitas so I ordered the 1/2 pound of carnitas with cuerito. They bring out salsas, onions, cilantro, and a molcajete salsa with the food. The red salsa was spicy and flavorful, I had to ask for some to go! The carnitas were good but it felt like it was too much cuerito and not a lot of carnitas. My friends menudo lacked flavor... he added quite a bit of salt to it. It could have been an off day as he said it's been better. Their agua de jamaica was great though! Service was rough too as it took a long time to even get our bill, I am curious about the buche and chilaquiles so I am thinking of coming back.

    Cueritos, buche, carnitas y costilla.

    Hubby and I were looking for some authentic carnitas tacos while visiting Vegas. Took a Lyft from the Strip to check this place out. We ordered 4 tacos, a Mexican Coke and an agua de Tamarindo. We opted for 2 Carnitas and Buche mixed tacos, 1 Chicarron taco and an Asada taco. The Carnitas and Buche tacos stole the show!! The meat perfectly cooked, super moist and the flavors exploded in our mouths. The chicarron was nice and crispy. Not to mention the salsas and pico de gallo that complimented the tacos. Staff were extremely friendly. Decor is simple but colorful. We will return on our next visit to Vegas. We definitely recommend this establishment. My pictures just don't give the tacos justice at how amazing they were.

It's about a 10-minute drive from the Strip, and I appreciated that they gave an estimated pickup time -- that was awesome. The place looks family-owned, nice and clean, and the hospitality from the staff was top-tier. Now for the burritos We ordered the El-Trio and the Bacon Burrito, and my goodness... these things are HUGE (and the prices is beyond reasonable). We split the bacon burrito between my wife and my high school athlete of a son (who usually eats everything but the kitchen sink), and he only made it through half of the El-Trio! That should tell you something. The burritos were flavorful and packed with meat. The potatoes were seasoned and cooked perfectly, which is such a plus. Honestly, by far the best breakfast burrito I've had. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because my bacon burrito had rice and beans in it, and that wasn't mentioned online. I'm not a fan of rice and beans in a breakfast burrito, so I wish I had known beforehand. Outside of that, please give this place a visit -- definitely a must-try. Sorry, no picture... we started digging in as soon as I opened the bag

During the day you might need to place your order by a stand by the entrance to the kitchen. After a few trips here since my last review I have to admit that this place is HIT or MISS. Honest it is like two different restaurants are in this one spot. All of my lunch visits were horrible. We've experienced the worst service ever and subpar foods. On my last visit we were the only customers in the dining room and we were too much trouble for our server to handle. It took her 25-30 minutes to serve us beverages and chips and salsa. When our meals finally arrived the meats were all dried out and tough in all of the tacos. My salad came out without dressing too. At the same time they had a few to go orders going on and all the people returned their food and asked for their money back. This is so tragic. We previously enjoyed the food and service here our last few dinners. The young male server gives outstanding service and so far the food has also always been good-great at dinner time. Lunch time visits were another story. On both lunch time visits we had female servers that have a language barrier and are not service people. They brought us subpar food too unlike what we tried here at dinner time. I am being generous leaving Asada three stars. I hope it's not too late for improvement. Hit or Miss

Perfection.
