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

I hat to try this spot someone recommended the cafe de olla here and I went just for that I end up ordering a lot Food is great and I would go back for sure Here some of the pictures of what we got and hopefully you guys get to try it read more

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

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

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

I apologize in advance to locals who consider this their secret hidden gem in Las Vegas, but I just found out about this place, tried it, and will now be eating here every time I visit Vegas. The service was top notch, and the food was amazing and way above average. I had the Carne Asada plate and I loved everything on the plate. The beans, the tender, well-seasoned, and plentiful steak, and the home-made tortillas were some of the best I've ever had: Thick, tasty, and the rare exception where I didn't have to order an extra side. If you like authentic and extra delicious Mexican food, you can't make a better choice than to put this place on your to-do list. To-do often! Did I mention I was impressed? Thank you Picanta! Can't wait to taste you again!!! read more

The food was absolutely incredible! The food was fresh and this was one of the best steaks I have ever had. The place also makes you feel like you are at home. Truly I am astonished by the gorgeous decorations. I love the plants and the lamps! The waiter was also super helpful to me and made sure we had everything all set. She was also fun to talk to! Overall, I will be coming again and I adored my experience here! 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

This place is amazing!!! One of the few places in Vegas that has actual authentic Mexican food, and not just overpriced nachos and flavorless salsa. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, my chilaquiles were perfect, super creamy and cheesy, with steak cooked just right. The pancakes were fluffy and moist, with a light and airy whipped cream, nothing overly sweet, and plenty of fresh fruit. Just wish they were slightly closer to me, but will be back! read more

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

Super cute restaurant. Went for lunch and the food was really good. Our server was ok. I would like to visit again for dinner.

Ambiance is great! Waited a bit for someone to notice I was waiting to be seated. I ordered the Camerones zarandeados and they were good, did not care for the dressing on the salad. My hubs ordered chicken enchiladas rojas, on his 2nd bite 2 chicken bones an inch long where inside, that took his appetite away. We showed the waiter upon paying, his eyes opened wide but he didn't say anything. Avoid shredded chicken at all costs. read more

Service was good and the atmosphere was nice. Unfortunately, the food didn't meet my expectations. The complimentary totopos didn't come with authentic salsa, which was surprising for a Mexican restaurant. The chilaquiles lacked real salsa mexicana, which is key to the dish. I'd recommend using traditional Mexican salsa to stay true to the flavors. The jugo de toronja was also disappointing. Using real grapefruit would make a big difference. read more

A nice casual Mexican restaurant that is definitely more upscale, not a simple tacoria. This is a proper restaurant decorated nicely. Serving mainly breakfast and lunch with a good selection of chilaquiles and omelets/eggs, and seafood options. When asking for recommendations the server asked if I liked spicy food and suggested Huevos Montaditos or the Chilaquiles a la Diabla which I chose. Chilaquiles a la Diabla 5/5. Perfectly spicy to me. Not too spicy that your mouth immediately burns, but a spicy flavor that builds up as you eat. They didn't skimp on the sauce and the beans and potatoes were also decent. I had mine with a sunny side up egg and a side of pork belly. All of the staff that I interacted with were very friendly and upbeat. There are many different dishes that seem worth trying so I will be back to try them. This place should definitely become popular. read more

The restaurant is clean and decorated nicely. The servers were pleasant and quick with refills. The Camerones Roca was delicious. The shrimp were well spiced. My friend enjoyed a different shrimp plate. My chicken suizas were bland. The "sour cream" was actually crema. I prefer sour cream. The rice was good but the refried beans were bland. The tomatillo sauce was bland. I was with seven others and they all liked their food. I did not like the tortilla chips which were made of flour, not corn. They were extra oily and hard as hell. We came by chance and were the only people there, but it is located at Flamingo/Maryland Pkwy. A lot of homeless in area. read more

Food takes too long to be serve and then when I said something they just stop coming to my table and just give me attitude and we were celebrating my wife's birthday. I will never come back.

I really love this place but they only give you like 3 bites of potatoes we are vegetarian we dont get meat youd think they could give a couple more potatoes with a dish. And same for the little piece of avocado youd think again if someone isn't getting meat that you could spruce it up a bit with more vegetables instead if you dont eat meat you just get less food but for the same price. I have asked if I can swap meat for avocado and they say it would be a separate charge. :( thats wack if you ask me. It would be nice if restaurants could acknowledge vegetarian dishes better with more veggies if no meat & price affective. The service is nice I just wish it was more food for the cost especially if not eating meat which is more expensive then veggies 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.
