    Chile Relleno plate
    Angie A.

    So I was starving for some chili rellenos and came across this spot. They had some good reviews and quick delivery. The food was still hot when I received it and super tasty. I rarely enjoy red salsa but there's had a meaty, smoky flavor that was so darn good. The green salsas were also amazing with the freshest chips ever. Now the food was exactly what I wanted. The cheese and fry on the pepper was amazing. Definitely eating in next time for the full experience.

    Inexpensive good Mexican restaurant with Nopales (cactus), daily menudo and fresh fried chille reano. Not soggy made from day prior. Nice family owned and shall return.

    Best Rolled Taquitos Combo Plate
    Rae R.

    Definitely recommend this mexican spot. Their taquitos are one of the best i've had. They also give you free chips and salsa while waiting for your meal. Staff is nice and restaurant is always clean.

    Melted plastic from the toothpicks.

    Probably not a good idea to use wood frill toothpicks to fry your taquitos. I had to remove all these plastic fragments from my taquitos that had melted into my food. I showed 2 female workers who were very nonchalant. They offered to remake the order. Guess what I found in the remade order!

    Horrible customer services I was so excited to enjoy my meal because it looked good but the food was very nasty I totally don't recommend it.

    We love El Nopal at this location on Decatur. We had the Shredded Beef Burrito Wet Style, and it was huge. The food is authentic, and it is delicious. The staff is always welcoming. Today, Grace served us and she was friendly and courteous. They keep the restaurant clean, and we always have a good experience here. Thank you!

    Shredded beef nachos. Delicious!

    I order lunch from this restaurant in a regular basis. It's the go-to restaurant for all of my coworkers. The food is always delicious and the service is great. No complaints, ever. Ambiance is pretty cool too, nothing special.

    Finally, we found a great place with excellent food and service. We went there for lunch today and we were pleasantly surprised. I had the beef enchiladas with beans and rice. Hubby had the tamales! It's been quite awhile since we had such a good Mexican meal!

    Everything shredded beef wet burrito
    Joyce W.

    If you like cilantro, diced onions and some spice. Get in here! Friendly cashier ladies. 4 Mexican beers available. In and outdoor seating. May look simple from outside, but the spice and ingredients inside is fantastic. Salsa bar has a bunch of salsas and pickled carrots. I thought the creamy green sauce was the hottest and the best. Mr. Bland enjoyed everything about the beef stew/soup. All day on the stove full flavor. No bones in the delicious non fatty meat chunks. Nice chunks of big veggies. Onions and lots of cilantro on the side. Not spicy/hot. My red and green wet shredded beef burrito was my personal preference dream of a burrito. I asked for "everything". I also added more pico and the splashes of salsa from the bar. Burrito was filled with everything and evenly filled throughout. My nose was happily running with that elusive warming sensation and satisfying rush of satisfaction.

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

The ambiance at night is nice and dimly lit. Great menu and nicely priced. There's currently a 3 course special that comes with a salad, salmon, tiramisu, and bottomless wine for $60! It's definitely worth it. The goat cheese spread tasted great with the salad. The salad also comes as a big portion. The salmon was huge and perfectly moist. I got the foie gras on French toast. It had the perfect amount of salty and tart sweet flavor with the blackberry-cherry sauce. It comes as an appetizer, but because it's so good, I don't recommend sharing since the portion is so small. I got the spicy seafood pasta, and it was amazing! It had the perfect amount of spice and it comes with a hefty amount of seafood along with a whole big lobster tail! The shrimps that it came with were also huge and there were plenty of calamari and octopus with the pasta. This dish was such a great deal with the portion and the amount of seafood it came with. My only complaint is that they can lighten the amount of fresh basil they put in. I highly recommend! Last, we got the creme brulee, which comes with orange biscotti. It's a shareable portion, and perfectly sweet. Our server Zoe was also amazing! She was super friendly and answered all the questions we had with the menu. Great place for a low key date at Desert Shores and some awesome food!

Waitress was super attentive and helpful the whole time. It was insanely hot that day, mid-July in Vegas doesn't mess around, so having a nice, large air-conditioned space to duck into was exactly what the day called for. This is a proper local craft brewery and taproom restaurant, with family roots going back four generations in the city, and they lean into that local identity with a solid house beer lineup alongside the usual bar standards. Wasn't too busy, which was great, meant we actually had good seats for the game. Ok options for slot machines too, this being Vegas and all. I had the fish and chips and it was good, though every place really skimps out on the sauces lately, unless that's just me being picky about my dipping ratios. Nice selection of local drinks overall. They had me try one of their more out-there brews, some kind of skunk-named one, and it genuinely smelled like Cheech and Chong's basement. Points for the experience, even if I stuck to my regular pour after that.

He spent a lot of time explaining the menu and answering questions. He never seemed to be in a rush and was on top of it. There were others constantly filling water, removing plates, etc. The service alone was impeccable. We loved the mushroom fries. The basil aioli it came with was fantastic. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, which were more like a salad, fresh with lemon and pistachio. The creamy garlic mashed potatoes were also fantastic. My wife and I both tried the Spencer cut steak. It was grilled to perfection. Great char and came out the way I ordered it. Juicy and not fatty, an excellent cut. I really enjoyed the sorbet as well. I was so full, but it was a welcomed, refreshing conclusion to our meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was classy. The food and service amazing. Can't wait to return here when in town next. Thank you Marcos and team!

The first floor of the restaurant was very cool! You could see the cuts of meat in the refrigerators and there is also a bar on the left of the entrance. There was a beautiful chandelier by the staircase as well. The upstairs dining area was very plain however. Bare walls, industrial type of standard light fixtures. The server recommended the skirt steak which we ordered MR. Also ordered the ribeye, portobello mushrooms fries and the steak tartare to start. I've never seen a steak tartare come out brown as it shows in the photo. I was so hungry, so I tried some, assuming the kitchen wouldn't send out bad raw meat. It tasted ok but the more I kept eating the weirder I felt about the color. We asked the manager if this was a common occurrence as my experience with steak tartare had never been this way. She said that it shouldn't come out brown and said she'd take it off the menu. She then later came back to explain that the lime juice that's in the marinade oxidizes the raw beef so that's why it's brown... which is an acceptable answer I suppose? It just felt weird bc I couldn't find any photos of browned steak tartare on google when looking up the restaurant menu. The steaks we ordered MR came out. The ribeye was cooked decently but the skirt steak was more on the rare side so we had to send it back for an oven heat up for 1 more minute. I enjoyed the skirt steak but it was too sweet to enjoy the whole thing. Cooking it in the oven for another minute made it even sweeter. It tasted like over sweetened Korean galbi in steak form. I'd say the portobello fries was my favorite dish and decided to take the rest to go to pick at in the hotel. After dinner we were given the dessert menu which didn't really call out to me, but since we told the server it was our anniversary, they gave us complimentary sorbet which was very nice. I liked the sorbet quite a lot but I was pretty full so didn't get to enjoy much of it. The gesture was kind though. At the end, the steak tartare was not taken off our receipt so we had to ask for that to be taken off since the manager told us she'd do that. The server gladly obliged. I want to say, that there was a female employee - maybe a busser, who worked really hard to be attentive with our waters and clearing our plates. I wish I got her name! I believe she was Latina with a ponytail if that helps at all working Saturday evening of Labor Day weekend at 6PM. All in all, the experience was not as great as my husband's first time at the Henderson location - he said the cuts were so much bigger before and the ambience of the Henderson location was more fine dining-esque. But the economy is tough lately so I figured the quality could've easily gone down. Because the price points were very reasonable, I thought it was up to par with what we paid. Probably won't go back unfortunately but it was great to try it out. The plaza it is in is called Trivoli(?) and I thought it was a cute spot with a lot of shops. Although everything was closed by 8, we walked around to digest a little and enjoyed the evening.
