    Chicken and rice soup.

    I have been eyeing this truck for a while and I finally tried it this month. I had the Grapevine salad that comes with Chicken Schnitzel, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Shredded Parmesan Cheese, Red Grapes, Candied Pecans & French Vinaigrette. The salad was impressive and delicious and the schnitzel was nicely breaded. My only complaint is that the vinaigrette was under seasoned.. The salad came with a soup much to my surprise. The soup was edible but could have been less dense because it was chicken and rice, and like the salad, it needed more seasoning, or at least some salt. I will definitely try another item from the menu next time I am in Ely.

    Ok folks I'm back! Had a long vacation and moved....here I am in Ely, NV. I have eaten at almost everywhere in town. Most places are pretty good and we are getting some places that are REALLY GOOD! Shorty's is one of the REALLY GOOD FOOD places. Now it is a good truck but don't let that fool you. They put the smack down on the food they create. They have cold and hot sandwiches, salads and soups. I do wish they carried beverages but hey that's not there thing. The service is great and they are quick. Plus you can order online at their Facebook page. I highly recommend that. I place my order online and drove to their spot and boom, food was ready. I ordered the Brutus (all the sandwiches come with soup). Most of the time it's tomato soup which is good but today was a potato soup. The sandwich I received was on a wheat bread with chicken snitzel, green apples, red onions, lettuce, candied pecans. You get tomatoes too but I don't like them on my sandwiches so I opted out if the tomatoes. Why do I want to just marry that sandwich. It just works! Sweet, salt, savory etc. You want to order 50 of them but I'm full after 1. There sandwiches are always just a step above everyone else's sandwiches. They are different, consistent and above all TASTY! Let's move on to this liquid love of a potato soup that they do. It has spinach, onion, carrots, rounded potato slices and a broth that has a different flavor than all the potato soups I've tried. It's definitely potato soup but it just has this extra seasoning or something I can't figure out and it takes it to a WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL! It's velvety and hearty. Shorty's YOU ROCK! Keep it up!

    Margarita's Mexican Restaurant deserves better than the 3.9 score we saw when visiting on…read moreWednesday, June 17, 2026. The location is perfect, the food was great and the customer service was very good and friendly. This was our second night staying at the Prospector Hotel. We ate dinner at Margarita's on both of our stays (within the same week going to and coming back from Idaho) with breakfast this morning on our second stay. The staff were quite friendly and all were on their game and attentive. The food was very good and abundant. I had the Mexican Rib-eye steak last night and it was cooked a perfect medium rare. Breakfast this morning was Machaca and Eggs. Lots of it perfectly cooked and great to taste. Oh, and their salsa is outstanding! We'll be back if we ever head this way again. Margarita's was outstanding and so was the Prospector Hotel and Gambling Hall. They're both a gem in north-central Nevada!

    We stay in Ely twice a year on our way through to see family. Staying at the Prospector Hotel for…read morethe first time and have our dogs with us so thought it would be convenient to pick up food from the on-site restaurant. Ugh - never again. First off, the poor kid at the host desk was visible flustered. Despite only a few customers in the restaurant. He was nice, but I felt like an inconvenience. Second, there is a $1.75 charge to go. I saw it when I paid the bill and thought, okay there's paper plates and to go boxes. I get it. But in reality, there should be a discount because you don't get chips and salsa with to-go orders. Third, our dishes were packaged to go by squishing them between plates. Gross, plus we list done of our food because it stuck to the top plate. Fourth, the quality of food is severely lacking. The nacho chips are cheap, low quality tortillas that just aren't worth the calories. The top of the nachos initially apparent have a decent amount of topping, but the reality is that once the top chips were consumed, all that was left were the crumby naked chips and they weren't even crispy. The steak fajitas were "ok". But nothing great and the steak pieces were too large and difficult to chew. Next time we are in Ely, we'll try a different place.
