    Queso Fundido
    Gabby R.

    Chayo has an amazing atmosphere--the music, energy, and overall vibe made it such a fun place to be, especially with a group. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of our experience. Several people in our group received cold food. My tacos came out cold and my rice was undercooked, so I sent them back. The tortillas also didn't taste or feel freshly made--to me, they had the texture of tortillas that had been reheated in a microwave. Our server also didn't seem very familiar with some of the sauces in the dishes when we had questions. Thankfully, my remade tacos were much better. The fish was tender, the toppings were fresh, and this time the tortillas were actually hot. The rice, however, was still undercooked. Service was also spotty, with our water glasses sitting empty for quite a while, although it seemed like they may have been understaffed. Overall, the ambiance is great, but I wouldn't recommend Chayo based on my experience. The music and atmosphere were fun, but they weren't enough to make up for the issues we had with the food and service.

    Overall this place was easily accessible but the service was below average to average. They did not seem so busy for a Friday afternoon and we still waited quite a while for a waiter to come. It took longer for the waiter to come than it did for us to wait for our food from when we ordered it. They are quick to make the food I will give them that. They sat us at in the bar section and it was as crowded as opposed to the general eating area which almost looked dead. The food hit the spot plus with the 110 degree heat we needed a place to rehydrate and cool down so the AC was a big welcome. Overall a solid choice if your in the area but with so many other places too eat this place does not stand out enough to warrant another visit. The staff were all courteous and seemed to be stressed out themselves so maybe it was just an off day.

    Nachos

    Nice and pleasant staff! Tried nachos with shrimp on the side. They were ok but nothing special for $25-30

    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.

    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.

    What a pleasant surprise this restaurant was for me. Lively atmosphere with ambient music and friendly people. Showed up with no reservations on a Saturday night but had no issues getting a table. The host was amazing. Service was solid. The margaritas were excellent. Opted for chicken nachos and steak/chicken/shrimp fajitas. The presentation and flavors were a 10/10. Only complaint is the small portions. The nachos were also great. Not too soggy with juicy shredded chicken. The restaurant turned into a nightclub after midnight. We hung around and enjoyed ourselves. I definitely recommend Chayo.

    Steak and lobster combo
    Thomas T.

    We have casted this location before but never did a Yelp review. The seating on the open air area is the best for people watching!! Bita was our waitress and she did an excellent job through the entire meal. Drinks were served in plastic cups, not glass, which threw me for a loop and definitely heated up the beer I was drinking a little sooner than anticipated. My wife's margarita did the same. Dinner was served and we shared the steak and lobster combo. The lobster was cooked to perfection however, the steak was flavorless, dry and tough. That was a shame because it had so much potential. We only ate about 3 bites of the steak. When we told the waitress about it, they sent the manager. A free dessert was offered but after the disappointment of the steak we were hesitant to eat anymore. Sadly we have eatten here numerous times and never had an issue. Again, Bita was our waitress and she did an awesome job!!

    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.

    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.

    Shrimp Tacos with Grilled Shrimp
    Joe S.

    This was a solid option, unlike what typically comes out after eating Mexican. While visiting the Linq Promenade (I think that's what it's called). The House Margarita was good, but a little small if you ask me. The Shrimp Tacos were great with grilled shrimp (waiter's suggestion) and I'm glad I got them as I wasn't in the mood for fried stuff. BTW, Ubering to here is such a F'ing nightmare. I don't think that's Chayo's problem, but there has to be a better way to get here besides the terrible spots nearby. I wouldn't come here specifically for Chayo, but I'd eat hear again if I was going to the Big Wheel or Jimble Kimble's Comedy Club.

    Brunch Menu

    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.

    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!

    Hello Steve. The restaurant closes at 11pm and reopens at midnight for Latin Nights.

    Do you carry lobster as a replacement for shrimp for my plate?

    Hello. Chayo does not offer Lobster at this time.

    I have a reservation at 9pm to eat can I stay for Latin night ? I saw it starts at 12am?

    Hello! You will have to leave and return for Latin Night as we close at 11pm on Friday’s and Saturday’s before reopening at midnight for our Latin Night party.

    Good to go for Sunday night fun?

    Its good for any night. Sundays will be fun. I we t on Super Bowl Sunday ! But i have heard nothing but great things about it.

    Is automatic gratuity added to larger parties and do they do separate checks?

    Yes and yes

    Is there a cover fee after 11pm for latin nights?

    I think its free

    Is the dance floor and mechanical bull open on Sunday nights?

    Latin Nights are on Fridays and Saturdays with the occasional Sunday on holiday weekends such as Memorial Day Weekend.

    Is brunch available everyday or weekends only?

    Chayo’s Breakfast / Brunch Menu is served daily from 8AM - 1PM! Don’t forget about the Bottomless Mimosas!

    Do they do bottomless mimosas?

    Yes, we do.

    Do you take reservations for parties of 10 on UFC nights?

    We do take reservations on any day no matter the events.

    We have started to reintroduce the Latin Nights back to our location and with that we do allow dancing.

    Are you guys showing the Super Bowl?

    We will be showing this on our TV's - due to the current mandates and guidelines we require reservations. Please make sure to check OpenTable for availability.

    Read on a recent review that there is a "service fee" added to the checks. Is this true?

    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… 

    Is this family oriented?

    Chayo Mexican Kitchen + Tequila Bar welcomes families with children of all ages to dine with us. Please note that Friday’s, Saturday’s and select Sunday’s after 11pm is 21+.

    What time do you stop serving food?

    Our kitchen typically closes around 11pm during the week and around midnight on the weekend.

    Do they still have a dj and dancing Friday nights?

    Yes, every Friday and Saturday starting at 11pm. 21+ and admission is free.

They have a Loteria drinking game, with each card matching a drink on the menu. Fun idea, but when explained seemed confusing. The drink was ok, too sweet for me and a little small for the price. Menu highlights for me was The dirty corn, salsa flight, and my (2) taco plate. The dirty corn was a standout with elote-style corn in a bowl, topped with chicharron, chorizo, and spicy mayo. It delivers that street corn flavor, but with a good mix of textures and spice. My tacos were delicious. I tried one grilled shrimp taco and one carnitas taco, served with rice and beans. The blue corn tortillas were a nice touch and pillowy soft! The carnitas were amazing, great flavor and super tender. I shrimp tacos were just as good and when topped with their habanero, verde, and roja salsa, that heat and flavor depth gets elevated! Overall, it's a dependable neighborhood spot with a fun atmosphere, creative touches, and good food that makes it worth a visit if you are in the area!

It comes with 3 dipping sauces and thinly Fried string onions. Drinks: Living my best life, burning passion (it was really burning on fire), and palomita! They were all tasty and fun! And we also got a free fruity birthday shot! Yay! Desserts: Flaming Skull $38 (5/5) Ok if you don't have diabetes, cuz it's all SUGA, then order this.
