We ended up here after hanging out around Container Park and needed some food. It was ok. I really liked the horchata, and I got 3 tacos. The service was very nice and everything was really quick. I had high hopes especially after talking to the people behind the counter, but meh. There aren't a whole lot of food options in container park, so if you are hungry this will do. read more

Bar none, hands down, the absolute best food we've had in Vegas. Do yourself a favor and walk the two blocks off Freemont and go eat here. I literally watched them make my tortillas and all our food to order and then watched as she proceeded to clean the kitchen after cooking our order. Real Mexican food, made by real Mexicans is their slogan and hot damn they deliver! Everything was absolutely delicious read more

The food is AMAZING, we had no line and everything was fresh, hot, and super flavorful. It's the best food I've had on my trip to Vegas so far, and the best Birrias I've ever had! The service was great, the ambiance was comfortable, and I will hopefully have time to come back! Delicious! read more

Pinches Tacos - birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I think Pinches Tacos is a very average Mexican restaurant. They have a pretty large menu and added Birria when it got popular. The food is very simple, not too crazy on flavors, not heavily salted or seasoned. I believe they make their tortillas in house by hand. They also offer beer and alcohol and agua frescas. I've had tacos here and quesadillas and I think they're okay but I'd only go here if I'm in container park. I wouldn't go out of my way or recommended it. It's not bad, it's just above average. The salsas also don't have much flavor. I believe they use high quality ingredients and simple recipes but it just doesn't hit for me personally. read more

We went to visit the downtown container park on Fremont and found this taco gem to try for lunch. I had the taco plate and my husband had shrimp enchiladas. There is ample seating outside and upstairs on the rooftop. Didn't realize there was upstairs seating at first. Food was delicious! They have a small selection of beer and drinks. The inside is small With a few tables and chairs, keep in mind it's the size of a shipping container footprint. Still a fun concept. Menu is pretty decent with lots of options. read more

We were looking for a late night Mexican restaurant and found Pinches Tacos inside Container Park. The restaurant was small as it was created inside of a seacan container, but we were able to grab a table inside after ordering. I got the Pollo burrito and Asada fries. I asked foe both without cilantro. They were hot and fresh and super flavorful. The fries were huge, and I couldn't eat them all, even though I wanted to. My friends ordered a few items. They said the beans were amazing but their Gringo tacos were not. Overall, they enjoyed their meal. read more

Decided to try this taco joint because it was the closest taco shop I could find near me in DTLV. What stood out to me was the carne asada steak tacos but my third choice which was the chicken taco tasted so bad I didn't eat it. I had ordered just 3 tacos but somehow wound up with an entire platter of rice, beans and chips. And I'm pretty sure I was charged for it because my bill came to over $51.00 For the amount and quality of food I received I gotta say $51 is not worth it. I think at the most a 3 taco platter which includes 2 very small sides should've been at most $30 and 2 drinks at the most maybe max $10 which totals $40. Another reason why this taco joint gets only 2 starts is the complete lack of customer service. As soon as my friend and I start to place our order with the cashier we are met with a complete unenthusiastic at the register who looked upset with literally zero people skills. I don't understand this at all-- we don't take it personal, we just don't understand. If you think about this for a second, it's customers that make your business or else you wouldn't have a business to run. Also the lack of friendliness didn't just stop with the cashier, there was another young girl who was bringing the food out and she also looked like she was miserable. I'm not sure if the boss is riding the employees into the ground but the entire vibe of this joint is just bad for business. Anyone who knows business knows that it's not just about good tasting food but you also need good people skills or else your not going to last-- especially in Vegas. And other thing that wasn't that bad but worth the mention, seating was hard to find on the first level of the restaurant. So we made our way upstairs which made things more difficult for the person running our food to us. I would've loved to have given this joint at least 3 stars but it's just not there and I'm not sure if it'll ever get there. My recommendation is to skip this place altogether because there are other places that have better food and service-- such as Roberto's Taco Shop on Charleston & Maryland. Sorry Piches Tacos but it's an absolute no for now. read more

Friendly service, clean flavors in the food. Absolutely delicious. Finally the Street Corn off the cob. They get me. It's a good spot for something simple and light that is in situated in a unique park in town. Good break from the Fremont experience. Sometimes you just want to sit and enjoy a small bite and listen to a song watching a giant steel Mantis spit hot fire on a chilly and windy night. Checkem out!! read more

I love Tacos! Heard about this place from a friend and kind of was disappointed. Was kind of bland and not really seasoned meat. Have three different kinds and did not leave with a favorite. Maybe will have to try this place again and order something different. But for now I'll still to other places. The margarita was strong and tasty. read more

This restaurant is Downtown Vegas, 707 E Fremont Street, Art District area. Don't you ever go there. We went yesterday, 7/17/25. They are not customer oriented people. The woman at the counter, a young Peruvian lady, was nice; but the manager in charge, or owner, that I really don't know, was very rude. The place is extremely hot inside, that was around 2pm. I went because it is an option at the AARP App of suggested places to go that honor senior discount. The man told me that they are not accepting any coupons and that it is posted in a handwritten note on front of the counter. We stayed anyway after driving down there. However, the food is pricey and is NOT that good. If you are an AARP member, do not waste your time going to Pinche Tacos. Awful service, place, food, and the man who was there, even worse. read more

This is located in the container park near downtown Las Vegas. The food here is really good. I've had the tacos as well as a torta and they were both delicious. My issue with this location is that everything is so expensive. It's about $5 for one taco, and the torta I had was around $17! Tortas at nearly any other place cost between $7-10, so it was crazy that these cost double. Overall good food, but I won't be going here again due to the price, especially since there are a lot of lower cost options in the same area. read more

Sign in front reads Real Mexican food by Real Mexicans. I don't know what kind of Mexican would serve enchiladas in such a manner. The tortillas were heated up on a comal rolled up and drizzled with some nasty tasting marinara sauce. The Birria was UNACCEPTABLE and the comsumé was completely tasteless. I have to say as a proud Mexican myself I was embarrassed. My friend asked for red salsa and was handed a cup of the liquid from the store bought pico. DO BETTER! read more

I've actually eaten at all 3 locations over the years and I would say it's ok at best. Today I ate at the downtown location and it was just bad. Zero flavor on anything. Salsa is a basic. When the salsa is bland with zero heat, you know something is wrong. I think they take the location for granted. Maybe tourists don't know any better. read more

Went here for lunch. Had the chicken taquitos which were absolutely delicious! My husband got three tacos all with different proteins (chicken mole, steak, and something else, I forget!). He liked them all, but I think he was a little envious of my taquitos which, as I have already said, were delicious. I would definitely return just for them! read more

During my visit, I experience good customer service; employees are helpful and kind. I order the nopal en la frente and el frijolero tacos which are tasty somewhat filling bites (especially decent for a quick bite to be full while walking around Container Park, I'm full for a few hours). The eatery has tasty drink options like Hibiscus Tea and Pineapple Juice (which I taste though I get a water with a lemon slice). The establishment takes different forms of payment. Lively vibes! read more

Stopped by Container Park with my hubby to end our date day. It was pretty dead and I always crave tacos so I thought I'd check this place out. We had been once years ago! Highlights: margarita with the spicy rim was delicious and not too sugary compared to other mixes. The carne asada was juicy and well cooked! The portioning was enough to build more tacos! Awesome and friendly service as well! Opportunities: our carne asada tasted like fish as if they didn't clean the grill. The more we ate, the more pungent the fish taste became so all in all we ate maybe half the meal total. The tortillas also had a weird texture like they were corn/flour hybrids. They seemed chewy and not what I'd expect for a street taco. The meal was decent considering the park is pretty quiet, but it was sadly overpriced at $28 for a 3 taco combo meal, margarita, and a water bottle. read more

Pinches Tacos - 3 Asada Taco - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Overpriced. Came here on a Saturday night and was not too busy. My gf and I wanted to get a snack and found this place thru Yelp at the container location. We just ordered 2 tacos,1 regular fries and a bottle water and the total came up to be 19 dollars. The asada and Al pastor tacos were decent at best. We have recently moved here from the bay so it may be difficult to find a comparable place when we haven't been to too many taco places here in Vegas. Overall, I wouldn't come here again. read more

If you love Mexican food, then this is the place for you!! I frequent their St. Rose location since it's closer to where I live but found myself in downtown one day and decided to stop in. I would highly recommend their gringa or gringo tacos and blood orange margaritas!! These two always hits the spot! This location is inside Container Park, such a cool vibe and a great place to hang out in the downtown area. read more

The food was amazing! The service was great! I haven't had Mexican food that good in years. It was wonderful

Located inside Container Park. We only ate here for a quick dinner as a last resort. Tacos were on the pricier side and it was just a sad looking taco. Ordered two carne asada ($3.95 each) with everything on it (that should include salsa, onions and cilantro) while my boyfriend ordered two al pastor tacos ($3.30 each), also requested everything to be on it. When the tacos were delivered, it was plain....just meat. So I kindly asked the lady who brought the tacos to us if we can have some onions & cilantro. There must have been a language barrier because we waited for about 5-7 minutes and I never saw her come back. So I went in and asked for onions and cilantro. The two ladies spoke to each other and one only came back with onions. Alright...better than nothing I guess. But I definitely would NOT come out of my way for Pinches Tacos. You're better off with Tacos El Gordo or there's a taco truck close by. These tacos are flavorless AND at almost $4.00 each....thank you, next! read more

Pinches Tacos - Green for St Patrick's Day. Cute little touch! - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

So underwhelmed with our experience here, even though we had been excited to come here after reading all the reviews. All tacos are close to $4 per, which in my mind was a little outrageous for the food we received. Ragz had the pollo mole and the pescado. He liked the pollo and was okay with the pescado. I found the pescado to be lacking in any flavor, unfortunately. I even tried to lime squeeze on it, but it needed a kick of real flavor to it. The veggie was probably the most underwhelming. The veggies were in large chunks and the whole taco felt very heavy handed. There was a large glob of weird tasting guac on top of my taco, which made the whole experience soggy, messy and just mushy. The agua fresca was also underwhelming (sad, because we had excellent agua frescas everywhere we went in Nevada). We got the pina, which tasted very artificial in taste and vert strong too. Overall, I am not able to recommend this spot at this time. read more

Overpriced, and long waits. It's a small little restaurant. They try but nothing special. The Michelada was good the orchata was ok. The food itself was nothing special. The carne asada fries not so good too much seasoning and the fries were not the best. I wouldn't come back to this place read more

Pinches Tacos - Outside - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I saw Pinches Tacos while visiting the container park once before and said I had to go back and try their food. I love the name and get a kick out of the fact they have menu items named "gringo". It's cute. First thing I noticed was the decor. It's a smaller place but they have patio dining which I can imagine is amazing when they have music going in the container park and most of the place isn't shut down due to Covid. There are only a few small tables inside and it's actually painted to look worn down with cute skeletons on on the wall. Again super cute. I ordered the Pinche combo plate and got 3 different tacos. The asada, pollo and al pastor. It came with beans, rice and some tortilla chips. I also tried their street corn. I wanted to try one of their orange margaritas but unfortunately I was driving home. The wait was a little long. There was only one person in front of me but it seemed to take a while to get my food. While waiting I took pictures and looked at their other menu items. They do have some interesting items. Unfortunately I have to say for all the hype the tacos weren't amazing. I've heard people hype up Pinches Tacos but maybe it's for other menu items. I'm not sure. The meat was asada was kind of rough and the chicken tacos lacked flavor. They were rather bland. Out of the tacos the best was the best was the al pastor. The street corn however was really good. If I did return to Pinches Tacos it would be more for the atmosphere and the street corn than the tacos I think. Might give them another chance and try ordering something different. read more

Absolutely loved the tacos and food that Pinches Tacos had. It tasted fresh and authentic! I enjoyed the horchata it tasted like milk and cinnamon. It wasn't overwhelming with cinnamon nor sugar like many horchata drinks that I have tasted before. Rather, the mixture was just right! Unfortunately, the drinks only came in one size, which if I had the option I'd get a bigger cup. It was that good! The beans and rice were delicious, along with the fresh chips. They were what my younger cousins said, "bomb"! Haha The area is really small and can become over-crowded, however the area that they are located compensated for that. They are located at Container Park, therefore they have a lot of open tables outside. What's best is that there is a park area for the kids that they can enjoy if you are not finished with your meal. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. I had the three taco combo, this included three tacos, rice, ​and beans. The carne was tender, not chewy nor stiff. The taco itself was great it was burnt on the edges and it wasn't soft either. It had just enough crunch and softness to it. read more

Love going to mom and pop places instead of big corporate restaurants. Met some friends for lunch for taco Tuesday. Place was clean and quaint. Ordered (2) carnitas tacos either rice and beans. Nothing but good things to say - the corn tortillas were freshly made and very good. Will definitely come back and try other things from their menu. read more

I loved this place. I was apprehensive with their Yelp rating but ignore it, this was good! I was having trouble finding a place who made their tortillas fresh and that's how I originally found Pinches. Everything was so flavorful, margarita was one do the best, and the tortilla soup was unexpectedly flavorful! It was like a Bloody Mary in soup form which is a plus for me. The pollo al pastor and al pastor were my favorite! read more

I can't say enough about this place. Came here in 2018 and really enjoyed their tacos. Came back again in 2024 and the flavor profiles blew my mind. You can not leave Vegas without trying their chicken mole tacos. I live in California and have tried a lot of chicken mole. This place is without a doubt in my top 5 best mole. AND.... they make their own tortillas. It's a must try and just a block away from Fremont Experience read more

Pinches Tacos - Wow! What a nice place with great people. :) - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

My boyfriend and I went here on a whim before going to the Mob Museum, and it definitely did not disappoint! I will say they're a bit on the pricier side (~$4.50ish for carne asada), but the quality of the tortillas and the meat make it worth it. We caught them during happy hour which made the tacos, except for carne asada, ~$2 each! We tried the carne asada, al pastor, and pescado tacos, as well as the carne asada fries and a blood orange margarita ($5 during HH). Everything was amaaaazing and left us stuffed and buzzed as the margarita was STRONG (no complaints there). The employees were super nice and our cashier recommended we sit upstairs to enjoy the nice weather, which I would highly recommend to you too! read more

I do not recommend. The mole was grainy and had zero flavor. The tacos al pastor had a raw texture and no flavor. The asada sope was fried to almost churro status. The shrimp burrito looks good but has zero flavor as well. The water fountain had a hair hanging from it. Not coming back. read more
