    Taquito and taco combo
    Aileen M.

    This was my 2nd time here. I ordered takeout again. This time the portions seemed smaller than the last time. Both times I ordered the same items. It still tasted good though. Prices are good. I will try other items next time.

    If you're craving some seriously tasty Mexican food, this spot is a winner. I had the shrimp tacos and carne asada tacos--both were loaded with flavor and cooked just right. The shrimp had a nice kick, and the carne asada was perfectly seasoned and juicy. As if that wasn't enough, I topped it off with some churros, and they totally hit the spot--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness. The service was fast and friendly, and we didn't have to wait at all, which is always a bonus. There's tons of seating, so it's a great place whether you're rolling in solo or with a group. All around, a great experience. I'll definitely be back--and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for solid, satisfying Mexican food.

    I have eaten here many times. The food has been generally pretty good. Today, while enjoying some carne asada enchiladas, I bit down on something really hard. It turned out to be the head of a screw!

    This was the first time ordering from here and everything was so good! I ordered delivery and everything was packaged nicely, had a great presentation and very tasty. My substitution was accommodated and they also included the hot sauce I had asked for. Chicken quesadilla Potato taquito Chicken dorado taco My absolute favorite thing was the birria taco. I was expecting the typical larger corn tortilla pictured and it came street taco sized. However, there was so much meat for a street taco and it tasted so good! Will definitely order from here again.

    I had high expectations for El Norte Taco Shop, but it turned out pretty average. I ordered the street taco combination, portion was very generous...the food wasn't bad, just nothing special, and the meat was noticeably salty. Overall, it's okay for a quick bite, but not something I'd go out of my way for again.

    Our favorite Northwest Vegas Valley taco shop! We've only tried 3 but since finding El Norte we haven't had a reason to keep searching. Nice sized open dining area with a bar surrounding the center area (no smoking, no gaming). Staff has been friendly and prompt with their attention. We have always ordered to go or called ahead for pickup. Shrimp taco is my favorite. Plump huge fried shrimp and the aioli has the right amount of smoky kick paired with the jalapeños. Birria is tender and juicy and the street tacos are delicious. Taco El Gordo is still my fave but being close to home El Norte is my go to.

    Food was delicious and the staff was friendly. We went in right now around 8:15pm close to closing time and the service was quick. The place is very well kept and clean.

    California Burrito
    Devon M.

    This place is a mixed bag of emotions for me. Some stuff was executed well and others not so much. The food is hit or miss from our experience here. We started with chips and dips. The guac tasted very basic and no different than that of the guac in little cups from the store. The beans and salsa were very good though and the chips were crunchy and delicious. I ordered the California burrito, my girlfriend ordered 3 tacos, and my brother got a quesadilla. I think he had the best entree at the table. The California burrito was flavorful but it had so much grease leaking out of it from start to finish. But my girlfriend's tacos were literally just soaked in grease. I wish I had taken a picture of them. The tortillas were soggy from all the grease they sat in. I'm not sure who was in the back that day but that was clearly their F game. The service was alright. The woman taking our order didn't appear to care if she was there or not. But the food came out quick. The ambiance was very bland and empty. It felt like no care had been taken in designing the inside and it felt soulless. There's far better places to get tacos than this. I don't know what happened but I hope this wasn't them at their best because that makes me fear their worst.

    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.

I also tried the steak taco, which I wasn't really a fan of, and the grilled peppers and onions were just okay for me. It was very crowded and definitely more of a casual, no-frills kind of place, but that also added to the authentic feel. The dining area and bathrooms could have been a little cleaner, but overall I enjoyed the experience.

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!

Unfortunately, the food continues to be mediocre and certainly isn't the reason I kept returning. What made CHICA enjoyable were the dancers, the performances, and the energy they brought to the restaurant. That was the experience. That was the entertainment. That was what separated CHICA from being just another overpriced restaurant with average food. Today, I was informed that management decided to cancel the dance performances. Brilliant decision. Apparently someone in management looked at the one thing customers actually enjoyed and thought, "You know what would make this place better? Let's get rid of it." I'm also clearly not the only person wondering what happened. Other customers were asking why the dancers were no longer performing. Maybe management should take the hint. As a local customer who has returned multiple times, I'm done. There is absolutely no reason for me to keep coming back now. Mediocre food without the entertainment is just... mediocre food. Whoever made the decision to eliminate the performances should seriously reconsider their understanding of hospitality and customer experience. If this was supposed to be an improvement, I'd hate to see what management considers a bad decision. And while you're reviewing questionable decisions, please do something about the DJ. The music is terrible, completely out of touch, and does absolutely nothing for the atmosphere. At this point, replacing the DJ might be the easiest improvement management could make. Great job, management. You took something unique and entertaining and turned it into something completely forgettable. You lost a loyal local customer--and judging by the reactions I heard tonight, I doubt I'll be the only one. Dj and management suck!

That was very understandable. We arrived literally ON THE MINUTE and they were able to seat us. I was so grateful. We ordered the Carajillo, shots of tequila, and the Flaming Tomahawk. The presentation of the drinks was my favorite part! Every item had it's own performance. And, including a sugar cube with the shot was a nice touch, too.
