    Birria, al pastor, lengua and cabeza
    tim n.

    I stumbled across this taco trailer while I was getting my truck serviced, it's across the parking lot from the Reliable Auto Service on north rancho, and I'm glad I did! It's a small operation, a couple of folding tables and chairs under a tailgating tent, and bottled Mexican coke and some sodas in a cooler, but they churn out some fantastic tacos. They have a diverse menu with plenty of options, from the standard street taco to tortas and birria. You can pick which meet you want for whichever entree and they come standard with some deliciously spicy red and green salsa. I ordered a birria and 3 tacos (al pastor, lengua and cabeza). The meet is cooked well, tender and juicy, and the seasoning is tasty enough to eat without and additional salsa. The tacos come standard with chopped onion and cilantro, so if you don't want the topping then tell the cashier. There are only two people working the trailer, they were very friendly and speak both Spanish and English. They take all major credit cards, debit and cash. There is very limited seating, so that is definitely a factor. Several customers got their orders to go which seems like good idea if you have a group of people. I highly recommend you stopping by and try their food, I know that I would drive out of my way if I was in the area just eat eat there again!

    Been literally dying to try the birria here and i finally got my chance! Every time i came here in the past they were closed. I ordered 2 birria just to try and i mist say it wasn't disappointing but not taste bud spectacular. A tad under seasoned but still well put together. Green and red sauce was bomb. Sisnt try the birria dip bc i was in the car and it was greasy enough. But the meat had good flavor just needed a little salt and extra onions and cilantro. I cant wait to come back (after my diet lol). Looking forward to gaining weight with you guys lol

    Stop by to get my car wash!! Was hungry so I tried this taco stand.. The tacos are fresh and very tasty . I love the fresh homemade corn tortillas.. The service was fast very friendly.. very good tacos

    Hands down some of the best tacos in Vegas come from this taco truck. I've had a wide variety of meat from asada to al pastor and even lengua-- all equally delicious. The tortillas and sopes are made from scratch and they are super soft. I've also had the birria which was super good. I recommend coming here for some authentic Mexican street food. It's not Tex-Mex but REAL Mexican food. You won't regret it!

    Absolutely delicious! I've been wanting to try their tacos and finally got the chance. We ordered 3 each of the carne asada, pastor and burria tacos with consumé. The service was fast and they were so nice. We will be making this a regular taco stop!

    Service was quick and friendly. Tacos and burrito were ok; lacking more flavor. Will try them again if I'm in the area.

    Got the tacos de Birria and they are delicious

I'm sure you will love this place the way we did. I can tell you without a doubt that we will be back more sooner than later.

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!

From the beginning, she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. What impressed me most was how she anticipated my needs without me having to ask. She took the time to explain the menu, walk me through my options, and make sure I understood what I was ordering. She never made me feel rushed or like I was asking too many questions. You can tell when someone is simply doing their job versus when someone genuinely cares about providing a great experience. Lixuan went above and beyond. Her personality, patience, attention to detail, and professionalism really stood out to me. I've traveled a long way to visit Las Vegas, and experiences like this are what make a trip memorable. Lixuan's service was beyond superior -- it was exceptional. Nacho Daddy is very fortunate to have someone like her representing the restaurant. I hope management recognizes what an asset she is to the team. Thank you, Lixuan, for taking such great care of me and making my experience at Nacho Daddy one I'll remember!

It's convenient located near the Elara / Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino and the Miracle Mile Shops where we were staying. We enjoyed all of the food we tried, but our personal favorites were the nachos and Mexican pizza. The Filet Mignon Nachos were amazing! Filling and flavorful with every bite. We also really enjoyed the Mexican pizza as well. Both were large portions and we couldn't finish the both of them in one sitting. We also tried the Ultimate Chicken Burrito and the American Tacos during our second visit. Both were good. The space is really big with plenty of seating and there was no wait during each of our visits. Service was timely. Staff was helpful and pleasant. If you're in the area, you should definitely check them out. We look forward to visiting again!

I called ahead to let them know we were running late. They did warn us that if we were more than 10 minutes (or maybe 15 minutes, I forget now) late then they would have to give away our table. 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. The flaming tomahawk was a fun experience, as well. I like that someone actually stood by our table to give it the final crisp with a flame, cut it up for us, and presented the pieces in a beautiful display. Of course, the flavor of everything was off the charts. Delicious steak with bone marrow and chimichurri sauce. The truffle mac n cheese on the side was incredible. The wait staff were great. We enjoyed the periodic dimming of the lights in the entire restaurant for a brief fire show. Just overall really cool and memorable details that added to a delicious meal. I'd return here for my next Vegas trip.
