    a car parked in front of a food truck

    This place has moved to 329 N Las Vegas Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89101. When I got there, I noticed that the man making the food wasn't wearing gloves or a mask and using his hand and the spatula to flip the tortillas. I walked to the window and he KEPT trying to flirt with me, I told him that I had a boyfriend and asked if he could wear gloves. This man had the nerve to get an attitude and make our Carne Asada quesadillas sloppy. I'd already paid for the food and I didn't feel like getting into a confrontation with him in front of everyone, so I took my food and went home. I started eating before my boyfriend, and noticed a mildew/sour taste. I asked my boyfriend to taste my quesadilla before he ate his and he got p*ssed. THE CHEESE WAS BAD!!! I called El Grullo Taco multiple times that night, but it was already late, so I tossed my food and we kept my boyfriend's untouched Carna Asada quesadilla so that we could take it back in the morning. I called this place 15 times between 9am to 12 PM, and I later discovered that it was the cook's personal cell. When they finally opened in the early evening, I was able to bring the untouched food back with the receipt. I told the cook that prepared our food late last night that his cheese was bad and that we couldn't even eat our food last night. HE GOES OFF!! He starts cussing at me in Spanish and saying, "NO! YOU CANT BRING FOOD BACK! NO REFUND! YOU SHOULD CALL ME LAST NIGHT, NOT COME TODAY." I explained to this man as he was yelling that I called him multiple times. He called me a liar and I showed him all the calls from my call log. He says, "NO, CALL ME NOW! I SEE! I SEE!" So I called his cell again and it goes DIRECTLY TO VOICE MAIL. He heard this and had the nerve to get silent. Then he yells, "Well, WHY DIDNT YOU CALL MY OTHER NUMBER? WE HAVE TWO!" I told him that I did, I EVEN called the Pump and Snacks gas station that their food truck is parked on the side of JUST to get the first number that I found. He tells me that those men don't know a thing. So I show him the other number I called. Y'all we deada** argued for 15 minutes about "why I didn't call him." Eventually he looks at me and yells, "Well, what do you want?!" I told him I just needed a refund for the untouched food. He asked me why we ate the other quesadilla, and called the second one bad. I told him that I didn't want to bring the first quesadilla back to him when we'd already took bites out of it. We could have asked for a refund for both, but we ONLY asked for a refund on one of the meals. My boyfriend wanted to go to the food truck and demand a full refund, but I felt bad about trying to return the partially eaten meal, so I only brought one with me. I HIGHLY REGRET THAT SH*T NOW! I told him we discovered our food was bad by tasting my quesadilla. This man was unbelievably ignorant and tried to intimidate me into leaving by yelling at me. I stood my ground and he looked me in my eyes and said they don't offer refund, but he'll make me another quesadilla. He had a smirk on his face! I'm p*ssed at this point and told him that where he's storing his food isn't a proper place if the cheese was able to go bad. He brought me an up-opened bag of cheese and told me this is what it looks like. I pointed to where he was storing the food he was currently using and told him that it's unsafe when you leave it sitting OUT like that!!! I yelled that I didnt want sh*t else from his truck. I told him his food is going bad the way he's handling it. I told him that I would be going to the BBB and the Health Department to report him. He laughed and said I could do what I wanted, so I filed a few reports. He's gonna continue NOT wearing gloves and making people sick with his improper food storage. This place is going to kill someone. I called it first.

It is like any typical taqueria, nothing really extraordinary. I ordered asada tacos and was a bit unimpressed. There was a lot of meat but it was very dry and flavorless. I appreciated how juicy the limes were and the salsa verde was nice, but it was all very underwhelming. It was about $13 for the three tacos, so I expected them to be a bit better than what they were. Despite being a little busy, the food came out pretty quick. This spot is quite dingy. There is a lot of open seating but it is dirty and unkempt. When we were eating there, there was a homeless man seated inside screaming, ripping up newspapers and throwing them around, and playing with a lighter. Although there is an understanding that this is not a fine dining establishment, I think it is a bare minimum standard to host an environment where guests feel safe. It is very loud in there and very casual. It is accommodating for both small and large parties without prior reservation. Maybe the other menu items are better, but if you are looking for tacos, this would not be the best option.

Michael was my bartender/server, and although he mentioned he was fairly new to the team, he was friendly, attentive, and did a great job taking care of me. I ordered my usual favorites: the Daddy Wings and Chicken Taquitos. I've tried some of the other menu items in the past, including the nachos, but sometimes I just want a few snacks and these two dishes are always a good choice. The wings were delicious as usual, and the taquitos hit the spot. Of course, the beer was ice cold too. One thing that stood out was the customer service. I had a question about points from another Nacho Daddy location, and the manager was kind enough to help me sort things out. I'd also like to thank Paul for helping me with the app and making sure everything was taken care of. Overall, this continues to be one of my favorite stops in Downtown Fremont. Good food, friendly people, cold drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere make it a great place to unwind on a cool Las Vegas afternoon.

From the moment we walked in, the warm atmosphere and excellent service made the night special. Amanda went above and beyond with her customer service. She made sure our flowers and balloons were delivered and beautifully arranged on our table waiting for us, such a thoughtful touch that made the evening even more memorable. Our server was also fantastic, attentive and friendly throughout the night. The food was next-level. They must have a new chef because this is hands-down the best Mexican food we've had in Las Vegas. My carne asada chef's special tacos were incredibly juicy and packed with flavor (unlike the dry ones you often get elsewhere). The queso fundido and fresh guacamole were excellent, my wife's shrimp entrée was outstanding, and the flan was truly unique, my daughter said it was the best she's ever had. Every dish was a hit, and the cocktails were fantastic too. Everyone in our group raved about their meals. If you're looking for delicious Mexican food and wonderful service in downtown Las Vegas, look no further. La Mona Rosa is highly recommended!

MAR Y TIERRA BURRITO - It's still the lightest burrito that provides the most size. I can't say enough good things about the aioli that they use to add flavor profiles to the shredded vegetables used to add body to the burrito. The steak and shrimp used here were good as usual, and the cheese added in is always a welcome surprise. Pescado Taco - The grilled fish taco is one of their better tacos. It's a meaty fish bite, and you get the "signature" slaw + avocado slice. Baja Taco - Most of their tacos are given the sauce + slaw combo along with the protein. I feel that the baja improves in my taco ranking depending on how much fish I get per taco. The batter is amazing and it's really a question if you want to eat fried fish or not. Camaron Taco - Crunchy shrimp, and very good slaw. But I feel that the shrimp is best paired with the steak, thankfully, they have a mar y tierra taco, which I think is the better thing to order. Ambiance: It's one of their bigger branches, so finding a table isn't difficult. Everything else inside the store is stock standard to all the branches I've been to. Service: You order, pay, and they call your name to pick up your food. Straightforward.
