    I've been a fan of El Tacontento since their street vendor location on N. Rancho so it was cool to find their second location towards the back of the store of a gas station. Clean area, pleasant service, and price point is just right, considering the generous portions, handmade tortillas, and made-from-scratch(not powder mix) agua frescas. Seems like they have more items available at this location, so there's definitely something for everyone. We shared a Gringa de Al Pastor and a Huarache de Asada which were both delicious, and the Agua de Jamaica was a perfect compliment to our meal. Stop in if you're ever in the area...casual setting, great grab and go option, and won't leave you with buyer's remorse. ALOHA!!! Shaka Meter: \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ 5

    Today was in the mood for tacos. But who isn't in the mood for tacos. Ive seen this restaurant a few times and knew it was time to try it. It is located in a petrol station but don't let that fool you. I ordered carne asada, pastor, birria, frijoles, and arroz, horchata, and pepino. The food did not disappoint at all. The birria and pastor had such a wonderful flavor. My fav drink pepino was amazing. There are a couple of tables and chairs, plus a television. One thing I really liked was the condiment bar was enclosed. It wasn't exposed how most are. This has an open and close lid that keeps everything very cold. Location is Jones/ Vegas- ample parking

    Huarache with carne asada

    The quesabirria tacos were awesome, crispy and stuffed full of cheese and birria. The huarache with carne asada was also really good. It's in a gas station but it's very clean and I had no problem getting a table for a Wednesday lunch. Food came out quickly and was piping hot.

    Three quesabirria tacos (birria + cheese) and a side of consomé was included. Soooooo good!!

    Literal hole in the wall (in a gas station) and the food was SO MUCH better than other specialty birria places. DEFINITELY coming back. Their tacos and salsa had so much flavor and were really filling. Oh and they don't use cloves (clavos de olor) in their birria - which to me is great because other places use a ton of cloves and it ruins the birria for me. Soooooo worth it! And the staff was helpful and really nice.

    I was SUPER skeptical coming to this spot since I found out it was in a gas station but to be completely honest, it was cleaner than a Roberto's on a good night. It was amazingly good! I got a cheese quesadilla with a side of rice & beans and I was surprised by how fresh the rice was. It wasn't bland, hard, or even too mushy; It was perfect. My boyfriend got carne asada tacos and they were delicious as well. The tortillas are hand made and you can taste the freshness! They have a little refrigerated stand that contains red & green salsa, limes, cucumbers, guacamole, and radishes. You can feel the coldness radiating off of the cooler so you have no doubt the product is fresh and within safety guidelines. One thing I also really liked was the fact that they offer different types of Agua Frescas, unlike Roberto's. I tried the watermelon and the cucumber one and I liked the cucumber one better. Im giving this spot 5 stars because they had A lot of room for failure; location, cleanliness, customer service, quality of food, and price range. Each one was completely fulfilled and surpassed! I would DEFINITELY recommend this place over any other taco shop. Please try it out and don't judge a book by its cover! It was amazing!!

    Nice Mexican Filipino fusion restaurant across the street from Mandalay Bay in the same plaza with…read morePanda Express, McDonald's and a couple other things. Place is known for their huge burritos but also has other offerings like tacos, quesadillas, fries etc, Wife got carne asada fries and I got the rolled taquitoe and lumpia. Super convenient to order online from our hotel room at Mandalay Bay and walk over and it was ready. Food was good and service was friendly. Nice spot if you want to keep avoiding the hotel food courts

    If you're a Las Vegas local, you know that when you see a Yelp review with a high star rating for a…read morerestaurant on the Las Vegas Strip, the ratings are often inflated. This place is not worth your money. You can get better quality food and larger portions for one-third of the price at Don Tortaco. Yes, this place is THAT bad. We ordered the carne asada nachos, a chorizo breakfast burrito, a bean and cheese burrito, and two strawberry churros. The breakfast burrito honestly wasn't bad. However, it was $20, and I still felt like I needed another burrito afterward. The carne asada nachos looked were made with a mix of ground beef and carne asada instead of just carne asada. The most disappointing item was the $15 bean and cheese burrito. I included a photo in this review because it was mostly tortilla, and the cheese wasn't even melted. As for the churros, we originally ordered regular churros, but they told us they didn't have plain churros available on a Friday night, so we were pushed into getting the strawberry ones instead. Despite being strawberry flavored, they were drenched in cinnamon and sugar. They were awful.

    OMG what an experience at this restaurant. My husband booked it for our anniversary…read more It is located next to the Aria entrance at the Crystal Shops, so do self parking at the Aria Hotel. This is a place that you need to make reservations and come nicely dressed. No flip flops, no shorts for men, no baseball caps. They have a VIP Lounge for their Members, including a Hidden Menu for them. Ambiance is very romantic, low lights, music, performers staring at 8pm every night. Perfect for a romantic date, business dinner or celebrating something. Food is Mexican upscale an very exquisite. They have original drinks and each dish is beautifully decorated. We ordered a Matcha Martini (can't even describe how good it was). For food we had the Crispy Calamari and Chicken Enchiladas. Perfect for sharing, delicate and it is a explosion of flavors in your mouth. Service is so outstanding, Mariah and Jesus were our servers. You get assigned two servers even being a party of two. Since entering the restaurant we were treated like VIP and everyone said Happy Anniversary to us. They had even read our special instructions of dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free). At the end of our dining experience the Chef sent us a Dairy Free, Gluten free and Vegan dessert on the house to celebrate oour special day. It was such the perfect touch to end our dining experience. It was our first time here, we will definitely come back and reserve for a later time since the only thing we missed were the performers because they show up later at night.

    I don't give out a lot of 5's and if someone were to argue against it I can see why. For me though,…read morehere's why it's a 5. In short, the food is delicious, the drinks are consistently good, the service is on point and the vibes at night scream date night. This place has a special place in my heart because it's where I discovered the carajillo, the carajillo I use as the gold standard for all carajillos; granted the OG version with cream is the best. They have great variety of cocktails and getting them is an experience all on their own. Each drink and its presentation are unique to one another. Great IG worthy drinks. As for the food everything was delicious and the proteins tender. Portions are pretty decent for this type of place. Also they're on online so you can kind of splurge a little if you want to Not sure if it's every night but I have seen live musicians and fire dancers there.
