    Pretty good burrito. Great guacamole. $20 but the burrito was huge and great. I got the Carne asada with all the suggested fillings. And a side of guacamole. The green salsa was the best

    Like some time saving places do, this has a kiosk driven ordering system. It took a short time to navigate the system. After my friend decided what she wanted, the system closed out while she was getting her card out of her purse and had to start over again. When I stepped up, I had the benefit of her experience and it went more quickly. We did notice some frustration from other guests navigating the system. There were 6 stations, but apparently one wasn't working. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is seating in the dining room, but we headed to the warmer feeling vibe of the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered drinks from the friendly bartender and found a high top to sit at. It felt nice to engage with someone after the kiosk experience. Our drinks were tasty and we ordered a couple while we waited for our food. My chicken tacos came out fine. I was unsure because I deleted some items while adding others, but they were prepared as selected. There was an up charge for veggies added. My friend's tostada salad did not come out as described on the kiosk menu, however. When she took it back up, the counter person told her they were out of some items for her order. My friend asked why they didn't tell her so she could've ordered something else she'd want and not have paid more for a lesser item. The person said she'd give her a free guacamole instead though it was an up charge. She said there was salsa. It felt a little shady - like, we're giving you basic hoping you won't notice, but then making it a favor to offer you something everyone pays extra for. Maybe because everything is packaged to go, this lack of communication and substitution might've worked for folks who take away. We'll likely not come back here. There are other places to dine or grab a quick bite and plenty of bars when we're looking for a drink. 3 stars because drinks were good, bartender was friendly, and my tacos were as ordered.

    These is the man of the hour Jose making FRESH Tortilla!) YUMMY;)

    WOW! Excellent Service & Teamwork from the morning Supervisor Teaka who assisted her team getting order's from the guests including us. There Chef G running the kitchen with ease. And Jose staff/ man of the hour making Fresh Flour Tortillas, like homemade. My son, friend & I ordered there custom create your own breakfast Burritos with Beef or Pork. Was so Delicious & YUMMMMY! There fresh Salsa, LOVED there Green sauce & there Pico de gallo taste just freshly made. The Churros was so fresh, prepared nice warm sooo moists inside with the crispiness of the outside with a dipping sauce of caramel or chocolate. I was already satisfied with the Churros by itself. But to include those two dipping sauce. My son & friend loved the choice of caramel or chocolate. The homemade different Fleshly Salsa selection & Flour Tortillas made the my day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the Nice Open Concept.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend & THANX to ALL made this Morning Breakfast Experience GREAT!)

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The casino is beautifully maintained in the design, and amenities. Upon entering, I loved the marble floors, decor and art throughout all areas[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. There are several places to have a meal. We chose Tacos at George Lopez' Chignon restaurant. We sat on the right-side bar area with food and table service. Over on the left side is the main dining room. The food was tasty, it's a no-frills menu: Tacos, Burritos, Tortas, Tostadas, Taquitos, etc. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, this location is a resort with amenities for hotel guests.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was here to attend a concert in their theater so I did not use the pool, spa, gym, etc. Plan a weekend getaway, staycation, or come for the entertainment or casino gaming. Don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!!

    Churro swords by me :)

    You used to be able to order at the counter and watch your food get prepared. It's just kiosks only now. When I have a voucher I usually come here and it's usually pretty good. Not sure what has happened but the wait is long for an order of taquitos- 20 minutes. There's really nothing to it. And, when I got it it was barely warm. How long was it sitting out that it's not even acceptably warm? There's no customer service now except for the person helping at the kiosk. The restaurant is kept clean. Thinking of taking my voucher elsewhere within the casino. Maybe not get the Taquitos next time and keep it to a burrito or tacos? It's too bad. I used to really like this place.

    This place is not by any means authentic mexican food. Do yourself a favor and get the burrito. For the price of a taco, you are better off getting something hearty and filling. Service is self-serve kiosk which makes it easy and convenient. Depending on the day and time, wait can be a little longer but at least there aren't long lines anymore. So plan accordingly. Sit on a machine and gamble as you wait. We came on a Friday night and they had already ran out of al pastor. Their menu has changed and tortas are now only for their breakfast menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating and great music from the bar next door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Yamava Theater with Andrea Boccelli Opera Night
    Dr. Conrad U.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]George Lopez' Chingono restaurant is located inside Yamava Casino and Resort. It has a "Live Latino Themed Band" actively playing and singing your favorite music and an open bar ready to squirt your tempting drinks and elixirs[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Many folks dances and grinds on the floor or while waiting for their food next door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So, we reviewed the menu and its Mexican food with a little rush on the side. We ordered the Burrito with steak and all the trimmings. Great burrito EXCEPT that it's too salty for us, the comments around the table were similar. We tried to add salsa and chile but obviously doesn't seem to mask the saltiness. Oh well, the salad is not too bad for a night out and fountain drinks is unlimited. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So, if you like the "party atmosphere and dancing to a live band" I'd say, this place is your niche, be forewarned there is nothing you can do with the food, their orders are nonstop, really hundreds of orders and starving casino diehards.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Perhaps, a little Margarita or Bloody Mary or a beer can fox the saltiness but we didn't plan to drink that night. But if you are straining for Mexican food and don't mind waiting in line for about 30-45 minutes before watching a concert, go for it. Am sure George Lopez will be ecstatic to see you at his restaurant? Go party and enjoy the Yamava experience, too.

    The "Rope"

    I visited this restaurant after playing the slot machines in the adjacent casino. I have been here on numerous but this was definitely my last visit. The new system of placing your orders via the kiosks located outside of the restaurant are TERRIBLE!!!!!!! ALL but one younger man was having a nightmare trying to place a food order. Many senior citizens were truly having difficulty that I attempted to assist them while trying to figure things out myself. If a guests had their meal comped (a perk of joint the free rewards program), there are three different choices from which to choose in order to complete your transaction. Which is the correct choice ?? What if a couple wishes to use two different rewards cards to have their meals completely comped. Does the Ms home accept two cards?? And do many other confusing issues. What is a quick meal/menu instead of a regular menu? The lines to use one of the four kiosks were long, frustrating and in my case, an older gentleman in front of me was having issues with his ATM card, and thus, my line was held up for felt like an eternity When I offered to help this man to try to move the line, his response was, "leave me alone and back off!" A potential physical fight over trying to order a burrito or whatever this dude was trying to order. No employees to try to help made matters worse The food itself was TERRIBLE!!!!!! My chicken bowl consisted of bone-in chicken which was as dry as cardboard (I am NOT exaggerating), beans that appeared more like oatmeal and rice which was very salty. Two older ladies in the adjacent booth said EXACTLY the same thing I said out loud. We all tried to enjoy our food but ended up tossing out 3/4 of our meals One last gripe. If you pay cash, you can walk straight up to the counter and bypass the kiosks while rest of us using cards try to figure things out. When your food order is ready for pick up, you will receive notification on your cell phone which forces you to download the Yaamava app. When you receive notification, you stand in the only line in what you think is the pick up counter only to be told my an employee, "this is the line for cash customers only. Stand on the other side of the rope". What rope?? There is no signage whatsoever advising the difference btwn, "cash only or pick up only" This entire experience was very bad. Management took what used to be a great, efficient and positive dining experience and DESTROYED the entire process. Taco Bell two miles down the road would have been a much better choice

    churros

    Saw they had churros so I got the churros but they were cold and soggy like they had been left out.

    Baked Cabo Stuffed Potato
    April A.

    Writing this review because I am currently craving the baked potato. The baked potato is the BEST thing to get here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lines can be very long, the wait can be long, but when the line isn't so bad and it's not too loud inside / next door, the baked potato is the best thing to get.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Trust me. You can customize what you'd like on your potato from the proteins to the toppings. Highly recommend getting it with guacamole. Will always order this from here.

I'm sure it says it in small writing on the receipt as well but we opt out having a receipt, like most people do. So if you're not paying attention just know you are being charged extra.
