Picanta Mexican Kitchen - Menudo con pata - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Food was amazing & elevated. Drinks were top-notch, too! We're visiting Vegas for the week & want to try so many local gems. But this spot was so good, we're going to have to come back! read more

From the moment we walked in, the entire staff made us feel genuinely welcome. We sat at the bar, and Karina was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly, attentive, and created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. The owners were also there and took the time to welcome us, which made the experience feel even more personal. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish exceeded our expectations. It's rare to find a restaurant that combines incredible food with such exceptional hospitality. I'm from Los Angeles, but this place has definitely earned a spot on my list. I'll absolutely be coming back the next time I'm in Las Vegas. Highly recommend! read more

This is my new favorite lunch spot to visit anytime I am in Vegas. It is a must. It is a little out of the way if you're staying on the strip but it's worth the 10 minute uber ride. The service is usually pretty good. At times they have forgotten a drink but nothing extreme. The last time we came 30 minutes before closing and we did feel a little rushed but I guess that was our fault for not checking their hours The vibe is always great too. They play a mix of latin music mixed with edm. Their entire menu that we have tried has not disappointed. The food feels and tastes super authentic like your mom or grandma just made it. Guacamole with Fried Pork Belly: 4 STARS Really good appetizer for the table. the guacamole is always fresh. Comes served in a corn tortilla cup. Just really wish they would add more Chicharon(pork belly) it is so good Ceviche Toxica: 5 STARS Honestly hands down the reason I keep coming back. This plate is to die for. It has shrimp, octopus, tuna, white fish. It's fully loaded and the black sauce it is cooked in is so tangy, citrusy and just so tasty Aguachiles: 4 STARS Presentation alone gets all the stars. I know this dish is supposed to be spicy BUT I think it was too spicy. Maybe a good plate to share with the table vs eating alone Enfrijoladas: 5 STARS my husband got these. They were DELICIOUS he added al pastor to them. They come with rice. The portion is huge. Definetely took some to go. Enchiladas Rojas: 5 STARS - DELICIOUS. the sauce was nice and rich. i got queso as my filling and they were just perfect. Again big portion and came with rice and beans. Took left overs back with me. The portion was just too big Chilaquiles Rojos: 5 STARS cant go wrong with chilaquiles GET THEM Carnes en su Jugo: 4 STARS my husband got this. He really enjoyed them. He's gotten them a couple of times now. I tried them too but I thought they were too salty I will keep coming back to place EVERY time we're in Vegas. It is worth the trip every time. read more

This place is amazing! Off the strip. But worth the drive. The aesthetics are great, atmosphere is great vibe with good music. Staff is super friendly. The chilaquiles are the fan favorite. You can get them regular or stuffed. I got the stuffed ones, and I wasn't disappointed. Best spot in town. 3 dollars signs. On the higher end for cost but worth it! read more

First time at this place and I was a bit nervous since we were celebrating a birthday. Place was smaller than I thought but super packed that only gave me a good sign. As I stepped in I saw the sign that stated to wait until seated, the only reason I don't give it all 5 stars it's because I think that was one of the things I would try and fix. I waited a couple of minutes before anyone acknowledged me, and mind you I had to take a few steps away from the door. Once my details were noted and I was called to be seated I fell in love with the decor, so pretty. My whole family and myself went for the chilaquiles since it was a bit early. Coffee was delicious according to the elders, my matcha was delicious and what can I say about the chilaquiles. Some for the traditional and some of us for the stuffed. Plates were so fulfilling didn't have much time for picture. read more

Been here a couple time and absolutely love it!! The restaurant itself is so peaceful the staff is incredible and every plate I've had has not disappointed. I've gotten many things off the menu but chilaquiles & enchiladas have become my fav! read more

We have made this a staple go to when craving Mexican food. The service from the owners to the staff is amazing. Whether sitting at the bar or a table , they are attentive. Does it get busy absolutely (any good place should), do you have to wait long for a table? Not necessarily, again, it gets busy. But if you do, they take your name down and constantly keeping an eye on the next available place to seat you . The drinks , from the cafe de olla, jamaica, horchata, are delicious and tasty. Let's not talk about the margaritas (chef's kiss)all freshly made. Let's move on to the food , the steak ranchera is my favorite, the molcajetes flavorful, poblano chilaquiles so much to unpack in one bite...yummm! My husband's new favorite rib eye aguachiles and the concha rellena (concha filled with sweet cream and berries). I can't say enough of this place other than go try it! read more

Lost count to how many times I've been here but it's by far one of the best places I've been to in Las Vegas and I don't say that lightly. The portions are incredible, the flavor is unique, and the presentation matches the flavor! Service is amazing, everyone is so kind and attentive! Ambiance is a nice little brunch spot with plenty of natural lighting. If you're looking for a place to watch a game they have a nice bar with excellent drinks to pair with your food! read more

My friend and I were looking for a Monday lunch spot, and when I said I was craving Mexican food she immediately told me, "I'm taking you to Picanta Mexican Kitchen." It ended up being about a 30-minute drive -- and absolutely worth every single red light on the way there. Yes, it's in a strip mall and the exterior is a little dated, but don't let that fool you, the inside is bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. Such a cute surprise once you walk in. I started with the Jamaica Morita to drink (not picture, too delicious I forgot to take a photo) and it was so refreshing, just the right balance of sweet and tangy. For an appetizer, we shared the Camarón Zarandeado Botana Picanta. First time trying it and now I'm hooked, it's officially my new go-to starter. For my main, I ordered the Mole Enchiladas and WOW... the flavor was bold in the best way possible. The portion was generous (3 enchiladas!) so I even had leftovers for later. I'm already planning my next trip back! read more

Here comes another hidden Las Vegas gem just a few steps from the bus stop at Algonquin & Flamingo. Mom and I stopped at Picanta after her morning physical therapy session, because our lead therapist's wife is a native of Mexico, and he proclaimed this place to be both authentically tasty, and tastefully authentic. And we weren't disappointed. The friendly murmur of the place is decidedly Spanish on the whole, so those who speak the language of the cuisine sound like they are well represented... always a good sign for an establishment that trades on its ethnic authenticity. And yet, the music selections are decidedly the kind of neo-funky disco house crossovers that are cast from an updated Donna Summers mold, so the overall tone here is just a little bit clubby... a welcome departure from the greatest hits of some anonymous mariachi band. The chips, and salsa are a cut above the typical in that they were both obviously house made by a cheffing staff that takes care for all the little details. The namesake picanta in salsa is perfectly balanced, so that the taste profile on the front end is both broad, and bold, while the spiciness rises up on the back end of the bite to flood the pallet with the heat it has been expecting. But the pique doesn't last any longer than the start of the next bite... so the flavor can just keep on coming. I was encouraged to see Mole on the menu along with other traditional Tex-Mex favorites, and some offerings that you might find both on the streets, and in the upscale bistros in Mexico City. As for drinks, and desserts, the upscale authenticity keeps on rolling. The US Open tennis crowd will be encouraged by the offerings of Palomas, Aperol Spritzes, and the fruity things that mimic a Deuce cup. My Paloma was both astringently refreshing, and mildly intoxicating, just as it should be. Mom, and I split the Pollo Mole which had just the right amount of cocoa & chile to make it mole, but no so much that it drowned out the other flavors that make mole a smoky good treat. It came with a stock infused rice, and a lightly fatted refried bean offering on the side which was just enough to complement to generous portion of mole on the plate. There was probably enough there to split among three, which is awesome for the $18 price point it carries. As for the deserts menu... there is enough variety, and uniqueness there to make coming back the main reason for the trip. And since this is a neighborhood place with a uniquely variegated main menu to boot, I'm sure we'll make the brief journey many times in the future. This time we had the plátanos flameados, which sadly do not come out flaming, but still taste wonderfully caramelized by the flames that cooked in their sauce in the pan. When we do come back for more, I'll update you in the pix section... and maybe Mom & I will see you here one of those times, too! ¡Desfrute! read more

The food was awesome, service was superb. Better than many restaurants on the strip and for half the price. Highly recommend

I waited at the door for 10 minutes before somebody actually came over and sat me down. 20 minutes to get a glass of water and then it came in a rock glass ordered a basic chicken burrito with rice and beans and they brought out french fries. Ran out of water because the symbol they gave me was not enough and the guy never came back.the burrito was good read more

This place is hidden gem! We've been for brunch twice and loved it. It's a newer restaurant so be sure to visit! Staff seems family oriented like the owners are operators, so it's nice to support a local small business. They did move from Mexico so you are getting some really good flavors and dishes. The enchiladas are flavorful and the verde sauce is amazing. We haven't had a bad dish yet, it's all so fresh and the meats are tender and well prepared. The vibe is fun and it makes you feel like you're not in a strip mall in LV lol. Parking is good. Seems there is a patio but no furniture, perhaps in Winter/Fall - I hope so! read more

Whenever my boyfriend and I craves chilaquiles this is the place we always go to! I get the stuffed chilaquiles divorced style and it's so good. It's so good that we won't even try other options in the menu. They serve in big portions and the drinks are great as well! It's a little far from home but always worth it for perfect chilaquiles. My boyfriend loves their café de olla, it tastes like a warm hug in a cup. So comforting. read more

It was SO yummy! Definitely a must visit when in LV. Returning when I go back to visit

After going back and forth with my American-Filipino husband (Sometimes we compromise our own cultural breakfasts standards) about where to have breakfast in Vegas right before going back to Los Angeles CA. I recalled this place (I've visited on my own back in September 2025 for my birthday month celebration) and I suggested to give it a try.. he was not open to the idea but as in most relationships I (me) say the last word jk so, I took him here. We entered a bit upset with each other and hungry but left having a conversation about this amazing place. We said "right food, great service, excellent ambiance and the best of all the right price" Okay, okay here my review: Authentic Mexican Gem - The Chilaquiles are a Must! "If you are looking for an authentic Mexican breakfast or brunch in Las Vegas, Picanta Mexican Kitchen is a total hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, the ambience strikes a perfect balance--it's cozy and contemporary with a trendy vibe that makes you feel right at home (small in space but just like the fine things in life; a gem ) The service was truly exceptional; the staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive, often making you feel like family. As for the food, the Chilaquiles with steak (Carne Asada) were easily the highlight. I ordered the Chilaquiles Suizos with steak, and they were phenomenal--perfectly creamy, cheesy, and the steak was cooked exactly right. They also offer unique 'stuffed' chilaquiles that are essentially cheese-filled and a total game-changer. read more

Let's start this off with the reason I sought this restaurant out. We drove out of our way for their chilaquiles rellenos. And I was very disappointed when they got my order wrong, I had ordered the chilaquiles rellenos divorciados with steak. And was disappointed when I got regular chilaquiles. My husband ordered chilaquiles rellenos suizos with pork belly. As a starter we ordered queso fundido. Although I was disappointed with my order, I did mention it to the server and asked for them to take them off my bill, didn't want to pay for something I didn't get, which they were polite about and so was I. I made the best out of this and just ate what they brought, couldn't wait around for them to make a new dish. We are locals, so we had quite a drive ahead of us. Now I'm very picky when it comes to Mexican food. My mother was a very good cook and I loved all of her cooking, so unless it surpasses her cooking I'm not going to be very impressed with the food. So it wasn't like my mother's home cooking, but it came close. So I wasn't too disappointed. The place looked clean, it wasn't too noisy. They had music playing in the background. So it was a nice experience with good food. All in all delightful. read more

Breakfast here was really good! The food felt very authentic -- definitely a great spot for a real Mexican breakfast. Their café de olla was amazing -- perfectly spiced and full of flavor. The restaurant itself is nice and has a great vibe. The only downside was the service. Our waiter didn't check on us until it was time to pay and wasn't particularly friendly. A little more training and attentiveness would make the experience perfect. Overall, I'd still come back for the food alone -- it was that good! read more

What a cute little Mexican restaurant! We were greeted and seated right away, with a. choice of where to sit, since there were only 2 other tables there. It was early on a Monday morning and I wanted to try their chilaquiles. It was definitely a great choice! The chips weren't soggy even though they were covered in sauce, which is how I like it! I also tried the Chile Relleno which was also very tasty. I'm pretty sure I ate every little piece of food on my plates. They also offer chips and salsa while you wait for your meal. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, my chilaquiles were perfect, super creamy and cheesy, with steak cooked just right.

Decide to give Picanta a go. To start off I had the aguachile which was my favorite dish from the ones I had. It was great in the spice level and just a perfect portion. I also tried the steak quesadilla, chilaquiles with a side of pork belly and the quesabirria tacos. The chilaquiles were lacking in flavor and the potatoes were cold and seemed old. Like if they were sitting there since the day before. The quesadilla was good with the side of guacamole. And the quesabirria tacos were just plain ol tacos. Overall it was ok and the highlight was the aguachiles, definitely recommend those read more

I had a lovely conversation with the owners of this Amazing up and coming Family Business. I learned that it started with a concept, rough menu and the willingness to work hard to achieve a dream almost 2 years in the making. Professionals in the business for many years, were able to assemble a vibrant and talented team. The menu has a something for everyone. I took my mother and her fiancé for breakfast and we truly enjoyed our meals. I ordered Chilaquiles and they are phenomenal with an Ices Americano. I mentioned to my mom that with each bite, I remember my childhood vacations in Mexico. It felt like I was in grandma's or aunties house having this same dish as the norm for breakfast. All 3 of us were so satisfied and full, that we didn't have even eat dinner that night. We then decided that we would visit Picanta again the following morning and it was the same experience for me. They have a variety of organic tea and coffee options, which was nice. The bar is looks comfortable and a great place to meet up with friends or colleagues. The vibe was calm, with music in the background playing, which didn't impact normal conversation. Some windows seats offered you a wonderful backdrop view of the fabulous Las Vegas Strip. Locations is clean, has ample parking and there is an outdoor area that at some point will have outdoor seating and I can't wait. Services is great, and I enjoy their recommendations. We had a pleasant experience. I can't wait to try more of the menu with my friends and when family is back in town. Looks like great place for a casual date, too, just saying. read more
