    Barbacoa de borrego,
    Hector R.

    The food is GREAT authentic Mexican Barbacoa service is good too the ambiance is not bad. I wish they can open earlier I'm assuming their buffet is a boom too

    Cantarito / Chile Relleno

    Yuuuum! We enjoyed our first visit and will definitely return! Food was great and a lot of drink options. Everyone was really nice :) Chile relleno was a delish Vegetarian option

    My messy attempt to make a pastor taco

    If you haven't tried La Barbacoa, you really don't know what you are missing. I've eaten at a lot of Mexican Restuarants throughout Southern California and Nevada and Arizona, and the best al pastor I've ever had is at La Barbacoa. I wish I could tell you how good the other things are on the menu, but I can't because the Al pastor is so good I just can't bring myself to try anything else (although the guacamole appetizer with chicarrones and chips is pretty spectacular too). I missed a picture of the epic presentation with the pastor on its own spit, but I'll include a picture of my sloppy taco. Tortillas are hecho el mano which makes a huge difference. I look forward to it every time I'm going through Vegas, and I'm always rewarded. I told my wife that it's amazing that even on my 4th trip here, that first bite of the pastor always sends the message to my brain saying "this is sooooo good". The service is fantastic, they are very friendly, kind and engaging. But this might be the only restaurant I would sit through bad service to eat at, thankfully I don't have to though because the servers are as awesome as the food is. Thank you so much for the good food memories La Barbacoa. I appreciate you more than you know

    Very respectable 4 stars! Kept seeing the feeds on IG for the tiny La Barbacoa vertical grill that comes to your table for service! Wifey heard from a co-worker this place was good so off we went one weekend to the other side of town! Upon getting inside La Barbacoa, for the lunch hour it seemed a bit slow. No matter though, let's go! Sat down and was served right away. Complimentary chips & salsa! Wifey & I ordered: *Trompo Azteca (Pastor-Pork for 2) - $29.99 *Nachos Aztecas with Asada - $13.99 Oh you KNOW I had to get in on that Trompo Azteca! Bring that mini vertical grill to my table, stat! Oh and they did! What a fun way to serve their Trompo Azteca! I only wish it was a real grill that kept your meat and tortillas heated up! Too bad it was just a candle or LED candle in the back grill compartment that made it light up LOL! But A+ for creativity! The Trompo Azteca was delicious! Very good pastor flavor, meat wasn't dry at all. Make sure when you use your knife to cut down the meat pile, you get a tiny piece of pineapple as well to put on your tortilla when making a taco! Fun to make - and just as fun to eat! The trompo with the pineapple, pickled onions, fresh cilantro & onion, and a dash of salsa on top...what a heavenly bite! My only complaint is that as you let the trompo sit longer on the vertical grill, the quicker it cools down. By my last taco, the meat was on the cold side. Still good though! The Nachos Aztecas with Asada were yummy too! Their house-made chips are on the thinner side which I like. There was an ample amount of cheese & asada on each layer so every bite had goodies on them! And again, their pickled onions added to these nachos added a nice flavor punch! Great eats, especially with a cerveza! Service was fast & friendly, and we got a refill of tortillas for our trompo no charge. Great portions for the price! If it works for the likes of Keith Lee then it works for me! La Barbacoa we shall return!

    Guacamole with chicharron. Delicious!
    Lamberto C.

    My girlfriend and I stopped by to get something to eat. To start off we chose the guacamole and chips. Both tasted homemade and delicious. I really had to control myself with the chips. Lol.We both had the quesabirria tacos with the consome. She had the beef and I had the goat. Both were very delicious and paired perfectly with the tamarind Jarritos sodas we had. The tacos are huge so keep that in mind with the appetizer.lol. The waitress was very nice and made sure we were attended too. The place is beautifully decorated and they were playing some classic Mexican songs that reminded me of my childhood. We will most definitely be returning to eat again.

    The best quesabirrias in town!!!.. I tried the barbacoa tacos dorados and were bomb!.. we love the friendly service.

Today, I came with my family for lunch and it was the first time bringing our kids who have multiple food allergies. Our server, Vanessa, was very accommodating, and Ruben, who is one of the main kitchen staff, came over and gave us complete confidence that none of the food we ordered would contain any of the food allergens we notified them of. All of our food came out without issue and tasted super delicious, as always. We ordered the Vegan Loaded nachos, Shrimp street taco plate, wings, and two kids meals (Sauteed shrimp and beef tacos) and everyone loved their food. In past visits, we've ordered their Margaritas which were amazing. I highly recommend coming to Nacho Daddy for both big groups, couples, and even families. They have a very nice variety of food and drinks and it's also conveniently located.

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.
