    Wednesday, 4-01-2026: So sorry this is overdue. We saw this restaurant when we saw the Mat Franco show and decided to try it out. There are 2 ways to enter/exit: within the Linq Hotel or via the Promenade. We entered through the Promenade and some of the outdoor seating looked full. We were taken way to the back more so on the Linq side & seated in a table for two. The table arrangement was awkward as the tables for two were close to each other that you could literally have a conversation easily with either table to your left & right. The decor was culturally influenced predicated upon Mexico's Day of the Dead. It was very interesting. Our waitress, Briana, was great & served up superb customer service. My husband had the Caesar Salad and I partook of a tasty Chicken Tortilla Soup. My soup was hot & delicious with the right amount of heat. Hubby enjoyed his salad. Their chips & salsa were complimentary and hit the spot. We enjoyed our food but table seating was strange. We'd go back if in Vegas again.

    I honestly can't believe I spent almost $100 on four tacos, a water bottle, and three drinks. For that kind of money, I expected amazing food and great service, but this place completely missed the mark. The tacos were underwhelming, portions felt small, and the meat quality honestly didn't compare to taco spots I've been to that charge a fraction of the price. I've had dollar tacos that tasted better and gave more food. What made the experience worse was the service. I waited about 15-20 minutes just to place my order because it felt like regulars were getting priority over everyone else. The whole atmosphere felt off and unwelcoming. For the price, there are way better taco spots with better quality, better portions, and better service. I won't be coming back.

    Since we were staying nearby (Flamingo) we walked by Chayo a few times and on our final full day we decided to try their brunch before walking over to the Venetian for the No Doubt Experience. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated quickly. Our waitress was also friendly and did a great job by periodically checking on us while still giving us our space. The food was pretty good. I went with their churro French toast and a side of eggs (gotta get that protein). It had great flavor already but that bourbon maple sauce put it over the top. We would come back. The ambiance is chill, but the music is pretty loud so if that isn't your thing, you may want to consider another spot.

    Overall, Chayo Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Bar is a great option if you are craving Mexican food and are in this particular of the Las Vegas strip. The service was very good and the place had a pleasant ambiance. If you are in the area, give them a try.

    Birria Tacos
    Iris P.

    Vegas nights + Chayo = ELITE We ordered the birria tacos and I genuinely haven't stopped thinking about them since... perfectly crispy on the outside, packed with juicy, slow-cooked meat and melty cheese on the inside and that consommé?? rich, savory, and made for dipping every single bite like it's a whole experience, not just a meal. And the veggie nachos?? LOADED in the best way crunchy chips layered with melty cheese, black beans, and all the good stuff -- every bite had flavor, nothing dry, nothing boring. The kind of nachos you accidentally keep eating even when you're full Could the service have been better? Probably but honestly I chuck the taking forever just to it being Vegas and nobody really taking customers seriously I guess ‍ Everything at Chayo just hits -- bold flavors, perfect textures, and that fun Vegas energy ambiance all around 10/10 would order the same thing again without even looking at the menu

    Good spot in the Linq promenade where we were sat quickly in a Thursday night. Food came fast, but drinks took a little bit of time. In the weekend they do more of a club vibe with Latin night which looked fun!

    Quite surprisingly my meal at Chayo Mexican Kitchen, my last night in Vegas, was probably my favorite meal during my visit. The location is nice, the service was good, and the food was excellent. I had the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, which came with Mexican rice and refried beans. The platter was really small but it actually filled me up. The lamb was tender, juicy, and flavorful. My wife had the Chicken enchiladas. She isn't a big eater so I was shocked to see her plate was completely empty! She also had the red sangria which she said was good as well.

    We were walking through The LINQ in Las Vegas and ended up stopping here and I have to say, the location alone is a win. It's right in the middle of all the action, perfect for people-watching, especially if you grab a seat outside like we did. First impressions? Really solid. The atmosphere was great, upbeat but not overwhelming. They had music playing, but at a level where you could actually hold a conversation. It was earlier in the day, so it wasn't too crowded yet, and the staff set the tone right away - friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Our waitress was fantastic. Super helpful with recommendations for drinks and appetizers, which we really appreciated. The menu is extensive like, you've got options in every direction so having some guidance definitely helped. We started with their guac and chips, and I'll give credit where it's due: fresh, flavorful, and a strong start. The salsas? Also impressive. They had multiple options, and every single one delivered. That raised my expectations going into the main course. For my entrée, I went with the Quesa Birria... and unfortunately, this is where things fell off for me. The tortilla wasn't crispy like it should be, and overall it just lacked flavor. No richness, no depth it just didn't hit. Even the cheese, which usually carries a dish like this, didn't bring it together. On top of that, the rice and beans came out cold, which didn't help the experience. So overall great location, great vibes, excellent service, and a strong start with the apps and salsas... but my main dish missed the mark. I'd be open to giving it another shot and trying something different next time around.

    The restaurant is conveniently located between Linq and Flamingo. It is very nice and well decorated. The staff are nice and fast with orders. We like their chip & salsa, guacamole, and shrimp ceviche. The prices are reasonable, especially right on the strip. We always visit when we stay at the nearby resorts.

    This place is for the birds! Seriously... There is several types of birds that are just walking around waiting for you to drop a crumb. It's really quite unnerving so if you don't like birds flying around you and pooping on you then I would suggest you sit inside. it was a nice day and we wanted to sit outside. We'd already been outside so we just stayed there but yeah... It was a little unnerving order the shrimp and mango ceviche... It was really good chips and salsa really good couple of drinks delicious. This is a great place to go for a quick bite but sit inside or be warned. The birds will get you.

    Food was good! I wont comment on the prices because Vegas is expensive PERIOD LOL However the service was great! We sat outside the only annoying thing with sitting outside is all the sparrows (hop-hop birds).

    Brunch Menu
    Kelly D.

    We made reservations for brunch in a Sunday. We arrived a few minutes early and were seated quickly on the patio area where there were heaters placed. Our server came over and greeted us and got our drink orders. She returned after a while with our drinks and took our food orders. The food came out in a timely manner and everything was delicious! The patio had plenty of seating but we never saw the inside so I have no photos. Causal atmosphere outside. They checked in on us often to see if anything was needed and never make you feel rushed even though there were quite a few people waiting.

    Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas
    Deena J.

    The food was good but nothing special. Food came out fairly quick for how busy. Initially, I was going to give this a 2/5 because my Al Pastor Tacos were dry and had 3 pieces of pineapple on it. I alerted the server and the manager came over and sincerely apologized and wanted to get me a new dish. I got the Shrimp Ceviche, very good! The mariachi band was cool, but a little much to be playing next to us almost our entire meal. The Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas and Lamb Tacos were yum.

    Yes, and we assumed it was the tip so we didn't leave anything above the bill. I later learned that it's a resort fee and not a tip. Firstly I felt bad about not leaving a tip after that, and secondly I was angry because I didn't understand why… Read more

    Fantastic grungy dive bar in Las Vegas!…read more I honestly can't believe it's taken us so long to check this venue out, especially since concerts are always free here. Our favorite punk band, The Mormons, happened to be playing here which is what drew us in. Loved the atmosphere with dollar bills and some R rated photo strips hanging around the bar area along with various stickers & graffiti filling the rest of the space. Truly feels like a quintessential Vegas dive bar. Bartenders weren't overly friendly, just there to do their job, but they served beers / cocktails quickly. We had a few PBR's which were $5 each. Fellow patrons were really friendly. I even made a friend during the show! For anyone with sensitive ears, the speakers are LOUD, so be sure to bring your ear protection. I loved the loud music, but my husband was suffering a bit. As per a usual dive bar, it is also smoky inside. If cigarette smoke bothers you, snag a spot near the entrance since they leave the door open for fresh air. This was everything I expected from a dive bar with a small stage for cool bands. We'll be back!

    Okay no Down Town Vegas Bar Crawl is complete without a stop at the World Famous Double Down!…read more It doesn't matter if you start here or end up here as long as you get here! A+ people watching location, always a show! No Bullshit Bartenders do don't be asking for no fancy bullshit crafted cocktails! Simple is best, cold beers and shots! Always a good time!
