    I'm not sure if I just ordered the wrong thing but I was not impressed Unfortunately the food was very plain We ordered the 2 chicken taco plate that came with nothing on the taco And the 2 fish taco plate which I'm. It even sure if it was fish It was so burnt and nothing on the inside I cannot recommend anyone to come here Besides the lack of flavor the area is just not the greatest What I will say is the staff was very polite and nice unfortunately this place just wasn't for me

    Rubalcabas is a east side staple. It has stood the test of time and competed with every other restaurant on the East side. Me personally have been coming since I was maybe 16/17 almost 20 years it seems like. As I still order the same thing. The Al Pastor nachos. The owner forgive I always forget his name but when we greet each other it's always "Primo" for years and years he's always treated me with respect and made be feel like a friend. For him I thankful. This area isn't the nicest but definitely not the worst but, he's makes it work and he does it very well. They have a ton of options and everything is pretty fire to be honest. They also offer burgers and chicken wings if you're not in the mood for traditional Mexican food. They do get busy at times but it's definitely worth the wait. Some of the employs have been here for years so that tells me he's a great boss. And the interior is old but it complements the business well. Enough of that we came for the food not the esthetics. Food is great the employees are amazing the salsas are fire. Literally be careful with the salsa rojo hahaha honestly stop by if you're in the area for a quick bite or a candle lit dinner with your hyna or your side ruca you can't go wrong. Show your neighborhood primo some love..

    Ambience

    Food is great ! Service is great ask for one of the two male waiters you will not go wrong. The Place is so beautiful "" THE NICEST Mexican restaurant in pahrump"" and the have separate area for wedding receptions, work get togethers. Oh and they do ( To Go orders )

    The handful of chips

    I ordered the pesola. It was actually really good. Only downside is they gave a handful of chips and told me I have to pay $3 for more. Uh uh bad business

    2 Cheese Enchiladas

    Our cashier was friendly and nice. Ordered 2 cheese enchiladas. Not pricey at all and had good flavor. Rice and beans were decent.

    Shredded Beef Chimichanga

    Came into town for Thanksgiving. Needed a change up for dinner instead of the leftovers! Called and placed an order. Picked up and brought home. The bags weighed almost as much as our Turkey from yesterdays meal! The food was absolutely delicious. I personally ordered a #22 shredded beef chimichanga. The beef was so tender and juicy. Half way thru I had to throw in the towel. Saving that bad boy for meal #2. The rice is cooked perfectly. The beans were great. We also ordered the Camaron Burrito, 2 #5's Beef Burritos with cheese enchiladas, #3 2 cheese enchiladas, #11 2 cheese stuffed chilies, #20 3 beef rolled tacos and a #14 Pastor burrito. My 6 and 9 year olds shared the #20 one ate 2 rolled beef tacos and one ate 1 rolled beef taco. We will absolutely will be back. The customer service was outstanding. The men who helped us were extremely polite. 8 of the family members gave this place a 5 outta 5 star. 1 (who is 6) gave it a 4 star. He said too much cheese (ummmm is that possible lol).

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

It's close to work, but it's not usually my regular lunch spot because it's not the cheapest option. That said, the portions are huge and easily big enough to share, so you definitely get a lot of food for your money. They've also added a new addition to the restaurant since my last visit; a beautiful bar area that looks amazing! The bartender, Yaz, was absolutely wonderful. So friendly and welcoming, and just added to the whole experience. I ordered the Del Mar burrito, and wow! It was packed with crispy white fish and shrimp, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. The combination of flavors was so good, and of course, their salsa is the bomb! Definitely worth a visit if you're craving something different, filling, and packed with flavor. And if you haven't been since they added the bar, it's worth checking out!

    I absolutely LOVED La Vecindad and highly recommend checking it out when you're in Las Vegas!…read more We did have to wait about 45 minutes to be seated, which wasn't the most enjoyable because it was so hot outside. We ended up waiting in our cars with the AC on. But I have to say--the wait was completely worth it! The moment you walk inside, the atmosphere is so much fun. The restaurant is busy and lively, with great music, colorful decorations, and so many details inspired by El Chavo del Ocho. I grew up watching the show, so being here brought back so many childhood memories. There are paintings and decorations from the show everywhere--even the bathroom is decorated! Our family was seated in the Escuelita room, and we had an absolute blast. The waiters and staff are even dressed as characters from the show, and they play music from El Chavo del Ocho. It really feels like you've stepped into La Vecindad! Despite how busy the restaurant was, the customer service was great. Our waiter was friendly, patient, helpful, and gave us some excellent food recommendations. And the FOOD! Everything we tried was delicious and seasoned to perfection. The café de olla was amazing--not overly sweet and just perfect. The molcajete was delicious and HUGE; it is definitely large enough for two people to share. We also tried the carnitas plate and carne asada plate, and I highly recommend both. The portions are very generous, so come hungry! I attached a few photos of the restaurant and our food because there is so much to see and enjoy here. Overall, we had such a great experience. Friendly and fun staff, delicious food, great music, large portions, and an amazing nostalgic atmosphere. If you grew up watching El Chavo del Ocho, you'll appreciate this place even more. Highly recommend La Vecindad! We absolutely loved it and would definitely come back!
