I'm Giving This Place Because This Place Serves A Region Of Mexican Food i.e... Yucatán Peninsula Or As If You Were At A Resort In Acapulco. I'm Local And There's A Few Tourists That Give The Typical Blah Blah Feedback. The Food Tastes So Authentic Margaritas Are Awesome Good Beer Selection. Also Great Happy Hour For Being Located On Las Vegas Blvd. Service Is On Point And Again Please Don't Complain About The 3.95$ Chips And Salsa, It's Worth It You Get 3 Different Salsa's. Do Yourself A Favor If You Choose To Complain Taco Bell Is Right Down The Street. Again People Forget That Nevada Is Located In The Southwestern Part Of The United States And North Of The Border So Yes Mexican Food Tends To Be A Little More Spicy, That's Why El Segundo Separates Themselves From Other Flop Mexican Restaurants. Enjoy!!! read more

See all

My family and I are from California where we now good authentic Mexican food. And we were very impress with the service along with the food! Compliments to the chef! Will be back soon. read more

Just really mediocre food at tourist prices. I'm getting tired of chains that sell "street tacos." This is another bland, tourist Strip restaurant that knows there's a new batch of unsuspecting customers flying into town every day, so why bother with authenticity or quality. read more

Matt C. and I went here on Saturday night, and to be honest, I was a little taken aback by the prices and some other things. Now now, before you get your panties in a bundle, I do realize it is the strip so of course things are going to be more expensive. I just cannot understand why 4 small corn tortillas, a sliced grilled chicken breast, black beans, and cilantro rice was $15. I also can't understand why their 14 oz margaritas range from $12-14. You can go anywhere on the strip and pay $10 more for a yard, and I know that because I used to work at a Mexican restaurant on the strip that sold yards of margaritas. Basically El Segundo Sol took the place of Cafe Ba Ba Reeba. The remodel kept a lot of the elements of Ba Ba Reeba such as the wood panels, the entire bar, and various other things. What I could not understand is why they had posters and magazines decoupaged on the yellow walls of matadors from famous posters of bullfighters in Spain. Is this Mexican or Spanish with all of the leftover Ba Ba Reeba decor and the obviously off cultural elements? Spanish culture and Mexican culture, two different things. I'm digressing from the actual experience so let's get to that. So we walk into a packed restaurant on a Saturday night. Luckily there was no wait time for the two of us, and we got sat right away. It took us a couple minutes to get greeted by an attractive waitress wearing a black guayabera unbuttoned enough so we could see her lacy black bra (hey if you got it, then get it giiiiiirl). Service was friendly but the timing was off. It took longer than what it should of to bring our Prickly Pear Margarita and Organic Margarita to the the table. I ordered the chicken tacos since Matt already ate and in that time frame (15-20 minutes) the table in front of ours got sat, ordered food, received their food and was 5 minutes into enjoying their food before I even got my plate of tacos. I was about to ask where my comida was when the food runner brought it out. I know it was busy, I work in restaurants but it shouldn't of taken 20 minutes to bring a plate of tacos to the table. The chicken was tender and the rice and beans were good. The plate was served in a DIY style with everything laid out for you and some corn tortillas in a tin cup. No complaints on that, but it should of been around $11 not $15. We got done, saw a runner carrying flan, thought YUM and decided to split it. We got talked into ordering the tres leches cheesecake instead, which was okay. It was COVERED in cinnamon. It could of been sifted onto the dessert without using a quarter of a jar of cinnamon. Honestly, it tasted like bread pudding and looked sort of like bread pudding. It was a circular mushy cake emulsified in a syrup and covered in cinnamon. We got a $9 discount because of Matt and the grand total came out to $38. It was $47. The price points were as such: 14 oz Pickly Pear margarita $12 14 oz organic margarita $13, chicken tacos $15, and tres leches $5. In conclusion, the service was friendly, the ambiance was nice (albeit completely not authentic), but the prices and the timing need work. If the price points were brought down 1-2 dollars it would be more accessible to locals and more on par with what the place is, which is an Americanized Mexican fusion restaurant on the strip. read more

This place was just a waste of time & money. First of all, it's another americanized restaurant serving unoriginal "mexican" food. Food is alright, nothing special. Margaritas are weak. I ordered a large margarita with a double shot. When the waitress brought it out it was really small in size, and tasted like pure margarita mix. Customer service is horrible. All servers I encountered were rude. I ordered the bottomless chips & salsa. They brought out one half empty basket of chips & 1 salsa. I politely told the waitress that I had ordered the bottomless chips with the 3 salsas. She then rolled her eyes and snatched the basket from my table and mumbled a "sorry". 10 minutes later, (still no chips & salsa) a different waitress comes by and rudely drops a bowl of guacamole, and then walks away. I tried to get her attention before she walked away but she literally just dropped it and took off. Was everyone having a bad day? A few minutes later my original waitress came by and I explained to her what happened, she was half listening and looking in some other direction and just said.. "Oh,...well ok, so you don't want the guacamole?" "No, I never ordered it, but I'm still waiting on my bottomless chips" She picks up the guacamole rolls her eyes and walks away. WTF. I didn't even say it rude or anything. I said it in the sweetest voice I could. I've seen the movie "waiting", I was too scared to piss her off, then later find a loogie in my food. So I let it go. I finally ordered my food and my super weak margarita. Waited for almost 25 minutes before getting my food. It wasn't even busy! There were maybe three other tables besides mine. By now my patience was wearing thin. I just wanted to eat my crappy expensive food and get out of there. I ate as quickly as possible. I asked for my check, and again waited a pretty long while. I saw my waitress just standing there chatting with another co-worker, at this time, I've had it. So I went up to the waitress and told her I've been waiting way too long and I needed to go NOW. She handed me the check, and of course she had charged me for the guacamole. I told her...she said she'll fix it.... then she disappeared, and I had to wait 10 more minutes! I don't think I've ever spent this much time in a restaurant trying to "get out". I felt like a hostage. I was just sitting there on an empty table, w/ my doggy bag in my hands. Finally she got back, and I rudely snatched the receipt out of her hands and stormed out. I can honestly say I'm never going back to that hell hole. The staff needs a serious attitude makeover. They're lucky they got two stars. 1 star for the location and 1 star for the huge and not so bad tasting quesadilla. read more

El Segundo Sol is the crazy cousin of the Stripburger. Owned by the same person/people/corporation, it sits next door to the Stripburger. We stopped by for lunch before headin' out to the airport. The hostess advised there was a 20 minute wait. Looking in the bar area we noticed several people enjoying their meal there. Noticing several tables in the bar area empty we asked if we could order from the bar and the hostess said yes but only if you sit at the bar. So we grabbed a table in the bar area and told her to keep us on the list for a table in the dining area. Within a few minutes a manager looking type came up to us, gave us water and asked if we would be ordering off the menu. We said yes and as he walked away to get our menu the hostess barreled into him and they had a brief animated exchange. He dropped off some menus and said someone would help us shortly. Ooooookay, seems like we can get service in the bar area away from the bar. Whilst perusing the menu the very affable bartender came up to our table to take our drink order. I opted for the Agave Cooler, a delightful concoction of agave nectar, fresh mint and Cruzan light rum. Ahh a refreshing and perfect cocktail for a bright, warm-ish day. H chose the house margarita on the rocks and seemed to enjoy his choice also. Not wanting to eat anything heavy I ordered the vegetable quesadillas. H wanted the crispy tacos until he found out the beef was shredded and not the ground variety. He ended up ordering the beef quesadillas which the waiter warned also had shredded beef but it was slow-braised boneless shortrib. Noting the chip and salsa was listed as an appetizer, we went ahead and ordered it (it's $2.95). The chips and salsa is a large basket that comes with 3 bowls: pico de gallo, tomatillo salsa and a red salsa. After finding we were from Texas, the server insisted on bringing us a bowl of the chef's specialty salsa. He mentioned it had some heat to it and walked away. 'Had some heat' I scoffed, 'bring it on'. I tell ya, whatever this sh*t is, it packs heat. It's a green sauce (not salsa) that they swear has no tomatillo or avocado. Apparently, it's a well guarded secret. Friendly staff, convenient location, not terribly pricey and decent food. I'll be visiting El Segundo Sol again. read more

If you want a place to escape off the strip and in some shade with fans and mist spray, delicious chips salsa and guacamole then this is the place for you. Beers are big and the sangria was very tasty. Nice place especially the outdoor terrace but inside is nice too and very very cold on a hot day, which is nice read more

Loco hour 4pm-7pm. Great apps and drinks for a fantastic price on the strip. Excellent service and people watching.

stopped in here yesterday late afternoon for a little happy hour treat. after we were seated in the bar by the hostess nobody came over to take our order. almost 10 - 15 minutes later the hostess came by again and asked if anyone came by for drinks and when we said no she brought somebody over. i didn't catch our waiters name but he took our drink order along with a side of chicken nachos and gave us some water. the glasses that were brought over were really warm though. no ice water was served here. i could tell my boyfriend was a little displeased. After being thirsty for an hour of mall walking i know he wanted some nice, cold water. he was pleased they had one of his favorite beers though, modelo especial. i ordered a frozen prickly pear margarita ($4.95) while Dan T. ordered his beer. Another 10 minutes went by before we got our drinks. Dan enjoyed his beer and my margarita was refreshing. A little too sweet but it is the first margarita i have had in months so i shouldn't complain. i recommend the prickly pear to the ladies and gents who prefer to not taste their alcohol. i had no idea i was getting anything. about another 10 - 15 minutes passed before we got our nachos. they didn't warn us the plate was burning hot so my hand almost melted when i touched it grabbing some nachos. OW! they weren't bad. i wish the bottom part didn't consist of 8 nachos turned one because of melted cheese. the guacamole and tomatos were not spread out, but one of each on the side. weird. i do wish they were all over and messy though. it mostly consisted of melted cheese and chicken. the meat wasn't bad, but it should have had a little more flavor to it. I don't know if i will be back. wasn't awful and disgusting, but nothing really made me say wow between the drink and the nachos. it was sunday from 4 to 5pm and the place wasn't packed at all so the fact that nobody came by for a while at first annoyed me. i had such better hopes for this place. oh well. i'll stick to dos caminos if i am over in the area. read more

El Segundo Sol - prickly pear margarita - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We've dined here three or four times in the last 5 years. It never disappoints. Food is fresh and tasty. Today we were looking for a light lunch. Shared the Ensalada Picante and chicken quesadilla. Salad was citrusy, a little salty and full of tasty little bits. Quesadilla was crispy on the outside and melty cheesy goodness on the inside. Service was friendly and efficient. My iced tea was always full. I'm sure the next time we visit Las Vegas we'll visit El Segundo Sol again. read more

Great food, huge portions, good drinks.

Came here with my colleagues after a tradeshow and not only was the mexican food super tasty with quality flavors...the service was spectacular! There was a girl up front with a huge basket of avocados and salsa making fresh guacamole all night! I think our server's name was Alfonso, who was awesome! Our appetizers and dinner all came out at once, but we didn't really mind at all. Alfonso apologized but we let him know that it was totally fine... seriously no bid deal. Shortly after we started digging in, the manager (with a little earpiece wire) came by our table to check how things were. We said GREAT so far! Everything was DELICIOUS! Then I heard Alfonso whisper to his manager that our apps came out the same time from the kitchen. The manager swung back around and apologized about what happened and said he's going to take off the apps from our bill!!!!!!!!!!! We didn't even complain and they took care of $20 off our bill, even though they really didn't have to!!! They really cared about our experience! Then Alfonso was walking by as my colleague said, "I'm cold! I just want some coffee!" and before we can even flag him down to put in her request, he brought her a cup of hot coffee!!!! We didn't even realize he overheard her! Amazing. I'm sure he'll be a super successful businessman with that kind of attentive service! The pulled pork tacos were sooo delicious and came with some herb buttery rice and black beans...mmmm so perfect. The chipotle salad, taquitos, fish tacos and beef fajitas were all AWESOME! And the FLAN...wow. Rich, creamy and perrrrfect. The prices were decent for Vegas and I will definitely be back next time I'm in LV! read more

Came here late on a Friday night and pretty starving since we had just arrived in the long car ride. This place was recommended by a local and she said this place had amazing Mexican food. We came at like 10:30ish (I think) and was seated outside. They covered up the overhang ceiling with fake trees and lights and you'd think it'd sound weird but it was kind of cute. On to the food... we got chips and salsa, and gucamole as an appetizer. We each ordered different margaritas to try and I had the organicos one with all organic ingredients (cause i'm into that shit). It was delicious sweet and had the perfect amount of sour! The chips with salsa and guacamole tasted delicious as well had beautiful presentation. The salsa came out with 3 different salsas- a fresca, verde, and i think a spicy one. My favorite was the verde and spicy. The chips weren't too overly salted and the salsas tasted refreshing. Usually I tend to be addicted to the salt in the chips and end up overeating but I was able to enjoy this as a true appetizer rather than overeating chips. As far as the guacamole- it tasted amazingly fresh. I ordered the fajitas to share and it was also seasoned very well. It came with 6ish flour tortillas with the sizzling platter in the middle with a few accompaniments on the side in little metal containers. It came with sides of guac, 2 salsas, sour cream, and other stuff I forgot. The fajita plate also had a small grilled corn! I really like that the fajitas weren't dripping in oil or had the taste of cheap butter. In most places where I've had fajitas, ever time you scoop up the onions and peppers they are just drenched in oil. The flavors of the spices and cooked perfection really came out with the fajitas which is huge cause usually I will taste a faint of cheap butter which I'm not a fan of. Bf had the salmon tacos which he didn't like but I had a bite of his salmon and thought it was cooked well. Maybe it's because he isn't accustomed to tasting salmon in tacos since the usual fish is some white fish, but I thought the plate looked very aesthetically pleasing. I really enjoyed this meal and would definitely return. Prices were very reasonable for a Vegas dinner coming to about $15-$18 for an average plate (not counting the few fancy items). I wasn't amazed, but definitely impressed by the higher quality Mexican food. read more

I am tainted by the plethora of Mexican restaurants in San Diego. To me this is an average to slightly below average place to grab some Mexican food. The fajitas I ordered were dry and dosed in copious amounts of salt. The tortilla tasted like the kind that come from the grocery store. They were bland. This is an instant removal of one star for any Mexican restaurant. Any decent Mexican restaurant makes their tortilla from scratch. It's really not difficult and it does not take a lot of time. My wife had the enchiladas which were just as forgettable. El Segundo gets two and half stars so I am rounding up to three. The margaritas and the service were the best of this restaurant. I won't be coming back unless it's for drinks. read more

My buddy and I stopped in here for lunch because it was convenient. My expectations were low, and damn if El Segundo Sol didn't disappoint. It just wasn't very good. I ordered the cane asada tacos at $19.95. When the plates arrived, I realized for the first time you have to assemble the tacos yourself. The menu omits that little detail. The asada was "ok" but the tacos still sucked. Onions, and perhaps a little cheese to put on them would have been nice. Salsa? Well, you have to dip into the salsa for the chips for that. I tasted the rice and beans, but didn't bother with either beyond that. The words "tourist trap" come to mind. read more

Located on the quieter side of the strip- on the North side I came here on a suggestion from a friend. This place has an awesome happy hour with drinks at $5 each. The Big Stick and the Sol margaritas were deliciously strong and my go-to. The happy hour bar menu is also awesome with a variations of Mexican dishes at a really great price. I enjoyed the quesadillas the most- and do you wanna know why?! Because they came with guac, pico de gallo and sour cream, and the pico de gallo was actually DELICIOUS. We also tried the fish and lobster tacos. I'm a fan of the fish although my friend preferred the lobster. I also really loved the bar tender whose name I didn't manage to get but she's a really kind lady with long blonde hair. Very attentive and polite. Def a place I would come back to if I ever came to Vegas again. read more

We stopped at el Segundo restaurant after a long day of wandering the vegas strip. The nice thing is on a hot day they have spray misters running out on the patio and bar area. We ate off the happy hour menu. We had the mahi fish tacos and the chicken tacos. Both were good but the size of them are small maybe 4 inch diameter soft shells. The restaurant was busy and the service in the bar area was very slow. read more

My favorite Mexican in Vegas! From a guacamole snob, amazing guac! Margheritas fresh, not a mix. LOVE happy hour

We just ate at this restaurant Saturday evening. The food and drinks are amazing but the service was TERRIBLE!!! I even told the manager and he didn't even respond. I would've given it 5 stars but like I said, the service is just awful. read more

A nice laid back atmosphere with inside and outside seating. The made to order guacamole is the best on this side of earth! Visit during happy hour to get great deals on drinks and food. read more

Considering I was there on a crazy busy cinco de mayo. The service was really good. We ordered a bit of everything and all was great. My personal favorite was the steak fajitas. I would definitely come back and would recommend for sure. read more

I hosted my husband's 40th birthday party here. We rented a private room, the Tequila Room, which was wonderful. The shelves of the room are lined with different Tequilas. The room is very private. We also contracted a Mariachi Band through the help of the catering manager, Ms. Dusty, and the music was wonderful. Our server was amazing and most important of all: the food was plentiful, so well-presented, and delicious! It was nice to have a taste of authentic Mexico right in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. We will definitely be going back and bringing friends and family. read more

Had great experience and the bartender was a local who was super nice and relaxed.. which you don't get often on the strip. Had the chips and salsa which was great... braised beef tacos were also amazing and husband enjoyed a chicken quesadilla and frozen margarita! Good value and really great atmosphere. read more

Not good service at all...waited 10 min to be seated, didnt get a waitress for another 10 mins...and wasn't attentive the entire meal! I'm astonished by such bad service for the price of the meals. read more

My wife and I were in Vegas and love Mexican food! We are from San Diego and although there are many excellent restaurants in San Diego, El Segundo is the best Mexican food we have ever eaten!! We can't wait to come back again! read more

I happened to be sitting behind Linsey M (last bad review) and she forgot to mention that she tried to bring food from another restaurant and eat it there. It's just common sense. I go to El Segundo every time I visit Las Vegas and it's one of the best places on the strip. Food specials are amazing and they ALWAYS accommodate me. People do yourself a favor and visit El Segundo Sol and ask for Marcel! read more

El Segundo Sol - Pork belly fajitas. Not on the menu but they'll make It for you. - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Decent Tex-Mex. I tried the Tres Tacos with carne asada -- it was actually very good. The taquitos were okay too. My margarita was very good. So much so that I had another. My expectations weren't high, but I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Attitude and crap service are pretty spot on here. Plenty of other mexican joints to eat at. But if you really want to eat overlooking the strip I would just head upstairs to maggianos. read more

Food was meh, service was lousy prices were high and parties of five are more get tacked on 18% regardless of service or food. Many better Mexican places in LV to chose from at much more reasonable price! read more

Best Mexican in Las Vegas. Beautiful ambiance by the bar or outish door seating. Quesadilla was amazing and the service exceeded expectation. The manager came by to chat as well and was super friendly. Check it out! read more

Excellente mango margarita is a little on the sweet side, but prickly pear is not only pretty in color but yummy!

Extremely fresh tasting food was an ejaculation of flavor into my mouth. Would highly recommend the mahi mahi tacos and red sangria.

Food was good, margaritas were not. Was a nice alternative to hotel dining at the Wynn since we weren't able to get a reservation. Check it out for happy hour! read more

Horrible service and food. Staff was very rude. Food was so so. But not worth the poor seevice

The best Mexican food in Las Vegas!!! Went for lunch and shared appetizers, also had the watermelon peach margarita that was outstanding! Service was superb as well. read more

Had a great time at this restaurant during lunch on NYE. As an appetizer, I enjoyed the Chicken Taquitos which came with the most awesome spicy orange sauce. This sauce was so good that after I poured it over my taquitos, I added it to sour cream and dipped the tortilla chips in it instead of the salsa that came with it. The salsa was not as chunky as I liked. For my meal, I had the Baja Fish Tacos which came with cilantro rice and black beans. I am not a fan of cilantro, but since it was not overpowering, I was able to enjoy it. I asked for more of that awesome sauce, which I drank like a shot, after pouring some on my tacos. To wash it all down I enjoyed the Prickly Pear Margarita. The staff was friendly, attentive and seemed to work together as a cohesive unit. Our server Cal, along with Ben (server), Maha (hostess) and manager Demetrius made this a great experience and I look forward to visiting again the next time I am in Vegas. read more

The hostess didn't give me and my party the option to sit inside so we recommended it, since it was cold. Our server was delightful and everything we asked she had answers to. The chips before our meal weren't free which should've been. I had a chile relleno and hands down one of the best I've had! The ratio was perfect I cleared my plate clean. read more

My favorite when ever I am in Las Vegas love the atmosphere the drinks and food. Very good service never had a rude waiter/waitress. Can't wait to be there this year read more

Moises was an amazing sever, the kitchen closed a few minutes before we arrived and he still provided us with excellent service. The drinks and apps were amazing too! I'll be back next time I come to Vegas :) gracias Moises! read more

A great place to eat in. I and two of my friends visited this place couple of times. Their Guacamole was the best I have ever had, on a little spicier side though. Everything on the menu was great. A must try for everyone. read more
