    Seven Seas soup and Papusa and all the trimmings!
    Rob B.

    This place was great! Stopped in for a work lunch at the recommendation of a coworker. I've never had papusa before! Had no idea what I was missing! Shrimp papusa will change your life! Definitely coming back 5 star service and vibes!

    Chicken Burrito, Home made guac

    So welcoming and friendly...absolutely authentic! The fresh flavors of the chicken burrito will make your mouth salivate. Great portions. Hidden Gem near Sunset park.

    This is my family and I's favorite place to eat pupusas at. Whenever we go, the servers and staff are friendly and always check up on you in a timely manner to make sure you're okay and don't need anything at the moment. We have been coming to this restaurant for approximately 7 years and even when they moved locations, we found them and went right back to them. That's how good they are. The ambiance allows for you to bring your family or even eat by yourself and you don't feel overwhelmed by any loud noises, allowing you to be able to have a nice conversation at the table. I could rave about this place all day. I recommend any of the pupusas which they have plenty of options for OR if that's not your thing, the carne asada plate is delicious too. The menu offers several options for you to choose from. Trust me, there will be something in there for you to like! My compliments are always to the owner and staff of this amazing restaurant.

    2 Revuelta and 1 Loroco pupusas, with rice, beans, slaw and salsa. Delicious!
    Nathan D.

    This place is delicious! We came and tried the pupusas, the taste was amazing and the price is right! The service was A+ and the staff were welcoming and friendly! Definitely coming back, a hidden gem on Sunset!

    Hair on my pupusa!!!

I got the Chicken Tinga Omelette and was really good -- fluffy eggs, flavorful shredded chicken, and a little smoky/spicy kick. Super filling and tasted fresh. Thank you Denisse for being a great server to us! Will be coming back.

We ordered a churro waffle, the Latin hash, a shrimp and garlic empanada, steak and eggs, and chicken fingers with French fries for my picky toddler. We adored each entrée except the empanada; I think I'd try a different flavor next time. The churro waffle was the perfect touch of sweetness to complement our savory dishes. From the espresso bar, we ordered an iced, extra-sweet dulce de leche latte and an iced horchata latte. The coffees were fantastic--the sweetness of the dulce de leche made it a delectable treat. The horchata latte was also a great choice for anyone who enjoys a little cinnamon in their coffee. The service was extremely friendly, and we can understand why the place was so busy. We will definitely be back in the future.

A little short staff, but the team were all friendly and all were assisting each other to fill in the gaps of service. Bartender seated me as host stand was not manned, other servers bussing and running food as bartender was busy. Appreciate the awareness and assistance. Old items on menu... bacon wrapped dates, beet salad, pulpo, mussels were all still really good! Crab cakes were bland. Do not recommend this dish. A staple and OG restaurant of Vegas in the past and still and great place now, just with an upgraded look. Parking is easy.

    Lovely date night spot right off the strip. The vibes here are outstanding. The place is so well…read moredecorated. Prices are VERY reasonable and definitely a plus of this place! Service is also very attentive and awesome, made our anniversary date night very lovely :). My overall thoughts on the food - 3.5/4 out of 5 It's good food. Is it the best tapas place ever? I wouldn't say so. But here is what we ordered and what I thought of it: Tuna tartare: 2.5/5 - nothing terribly special- it was good! Just nothing to write home about Patatas bravas: 3/5 - again, good! But I fear my bar for patatas bravas is really high. So it's hard to impress me with these. I wish there was more sauce and the potatoes were crispier Machego mac and cheese: 5/5 - yea this was delicious. Definitely not an authentic Spanish tapa but man it was fire. The crispy cheese at the top was so *chefs kiss* Pork empanada: 5/5 - this is the dish me and my partner bit into and both of us rang a resounding "mmmmm!". This is really good- you have to get it. Steak y papas: 5/5 - steak was cooked well, the mashed potato is yummy. Solid choice White sangria: 4/5 - not as much fruit flavor as I'd like in a sangria but it was good Flourless chocolate cake: 4/5 - it's not very rich or sweet which is definitely a good thing after a large meal. But if that's what you're looking for, that's not in this.

    Food was amazing‼‼ oxtail was fall off the bone. Chef O'Neil was very polite and courteousread more

    We are from San Diego & LA, came out to Vegas for a three-day class reunion at New Orleans Hotel…read more Our friend gave me a list black owned restaurants. I ended up choosing House of Dutch Pot. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner, Oniel, who welcomed us and quickly seated us with menus. He mentioned that he had a large group to serve (about fifteen people) but reassured us that his waitress would be arriving soon. Oniel took the time to explain the menu, and we placed our drink orders--mine was a pineapple and ginger mix, which turned out to be refreshingly unique. It was such a treat to see options beyond the usual sodas and iced teas. Oh my goodness, food was so good!! I got the combo plate, jerk chicken & oxtails, mac n cheese & grilled veggies. I had little bit of mac n cheese left & two pieces of chicken I took w/me, I ate that later. The ambiance was fantastic: beautiful decorations and Caribbean music playing at just the right volume, creating a lively atmosphere without overpowering our conversations. It's always a plus when you don't have to shout over the music. As the evening went on, the waitress and another cook joined, which was perfect timing since six more guests walked in. The waitress was friendly and pleasant, adding to the overall great experience. Oniel includes a little history about his journey on the menu, which is both interesting and inspiring. He runs the place with professionalism, efficiency, and a genuinely pleasant attitude. I highly recommend House of Dutch Pot to anyone visiting Las Vegas. I will definitely be going back when I visit Las Vegas.

    Peru Chicken -- Authentic Peruvian Food By Ted Cucuro, Las…read moreVegas Nevada AI News, Hospitality Correspondent If your looking for a true taste of Peru-- the kind that feels like stepping straight into a family's cherished kitchen -- this fourth-generation, family-owned Peruvian restaurant is exactly where your compass should point. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back: here, tradition isn't just preserved; it's honored in every dish, every detail, and every warm interaction. From the moment you step inside, the family's heritage surrounds you. Beautiful wall photos of their most iconic plates set the tone, and the staff--genuinely friendly and wonderfully patient, are always eager to guide you through Peru's bold and comforting flavors. They're the kind of people who make you feel like a welcome guest, not just a customer. Main Course Highlights: Half Chicken with Rice & Salad, This is the dish that keeps regulars loyal. The half chicken, roasted to a perfect internal temperature of 170 degrees, is a masterclass in family tradition. Tender, unbelievably juicy, and crowned with that irresistible cracking golden skin, it's the kind of plate that makes you slow down and savor every bite. Paired with fluffy rice and a crisp, refreshing salad, it's simply perfection--no shortcuts, no gimmicks, just generations of culinary wisdom passed from grandmother onward. A cornerstone of Peruvian cuisine and one of my absolute favorites: their Lomo Saltado, bursts with flavor: wok-seared steak strips tossed with onions, tomatoes, all kissed by that signature Peruvian seasoning that balances comfort and excitement in one plate. The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water. This is the dish that shows just how skilled this family is--bold, soulful, and deeply satisfying. Served with fries and rice. Appetizer: Anticuchos, a true Peruvian classic, and they execute it beautifully. Tender marinated beef heart--smoky, seasoned just right, threaded on skewers and grilled until beautifully charred. It's a dish full of character, and here, it tastes like it comes straight from Lima's street stalls. Dessert: Picarones, light, sweet, and addictive. These Peruvian-style doughnuts, made from squash and sweet potato, come fried to golden perfection and drenched in spiced syrup. It's the dessert that ends the meal with a smile, and makes you consider ordering a second batch for the road. Drink: Inca Kola-- "The Golden Kola" No Peruvian meal is complete without sipping on this bubbly, bright, almost floral soda. It's sweet, vibrant, and uniquely Peru. If you haven't tried it yet, prepare for a new favorite. Whether you choose to dine in, carry out, or use their catering services, this restaurant delivers warmth, authenticity, and generations of flavor every time. It's family-oriented, full of heart, and run by people who clearly love what they do-- and it shows. This is more than a meal. It's a Peruvian family's legacy served with pride. And fortunate for us, they're sharing it with Las Vegas, one delicious plate at a time.
