    Tacos
    James G.

    We want to eat inside this spot the other day. We ordered 2 plates of 5 tacos and a mulita. One plate I ordered 2 asada, 2 pastor and 1 tripas. The other plate we had 2 pastor and 3 asada. The mulita was pastor also. Tacos are a bit on the small side, 3 biters. But the price reflects the size so it fits. Tripa taco may have been my favorite. It could have been better if it was a little more crispy for me, but it was very good and tasty. Second place is the asada tocos. The meat was average but they did give you a good serving. Overall a solid taco. Pastor for me was not how I like it. I think they add a little cinnamon for the sweetness and I'm not a fan of this on my meat. The tortillas were kind of bland. I was trying to figure it out. Was not sure if it wasn't cooked all the way but they were different. Also it was really greasy, which I don't mind but just letting you know in case it bothers you. Salsa bar is good they have pickled onions with habanero I love this. Also, pickled jalapeños and carrots, very good. Radishes, jalapeños, and red and green salsa. Serve yourself I like that. Red salad is hot but tasty. The tacos had me sweating. It's a good hot. The green is. It as hot but still has a good kick. Both were a bit too hot for my wife. Next time I will try a burrito. I hear their rice and beans are good. I don't order either this time. The staff is friendly and helpful. FYI - not many people have eaten as many tacos in their life as me. I will try them again I wasn't impressed the first time.

    Service was friendly and helpful. They verified toppings for each entree, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was clean and had a sauce bar! Loved that feature. The food itself was okay.. little too greasy for me. The Birria seemed spicier than I've had in the past. Overall the experience was good, just not quite what I was looking for.

    Second time here and I love it. I can tell you that I know for sure I'm eating here every 4-5 weeks. My goal is to try every single thing on the menu! Last time it was tacos, this time the burrito. Delicious

    Stopped by for a quick birra taco fix and found thiss First thing I'll say is when u can sip on the consume you already know it'll be good. Came at night so the area was a lil sketch but that 3 quesobirra plate was delicious!! And the side of pickled onions added the perfect crunch and twang.

    Best quesabirria tacos in all of Las Vegas. It's always decent crowded every time I go in, regardless of the time; so that speaks for itself. A little on the pricey end for the size of them. You'll need at least 3 to full satiated, I usually get 7-8 with a drink and my bill is around 40 dollars, so take from that what you will. Staff is very nice, place is pretty clean. It's a very nice vibe and I always take my friends here whenever they visit.

    This place is authentic as it gets! It feels like when I was a kid growing up in L.A (Hawthorne) and went to get tacos. The beans and rice are 100% authentic, the beans taste home made de la hoya. The tacos are delicious the service is amazing. These are some of the kindest generous people I've come across. Tip! Tip! Tip! Tip! Even just a dollar! They appreciate it and it shows! We came on a Saturday evening. It wasn't busy, but there's constant traffic here. Highly recommend!

    Carnitas, al pastor, and carne asada tacos.

    I love the original location on Charleston so had to try spot 2. Their food is consistent and delicious. I got the 5 taco plate with carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas. All three were very tasty. I don't think there is any place in Vegas that you can get five tacos at such an affordable price. Service was quick and easy. Tacos came out fast. The place is clean and nice with plenty of seating. Good vibes and people.

    Compita Nachos with Birria
    Yun-Wen L.

    Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - Platos de 5 tacos (#2) and Compita Nachos with Birria. The tacos were delicious overall! The cabeza was tender and flavorful but the tripas were boiled and a bit queasy as they weren't cleaned well. The nachos were generous in serving size but the shredded beef was inconsistent as some pieces were quite dry. Service: 2/5 - not sure if language issue or the cashier just didn't care. After we ordered but before we paid, I realized that the cost was higher than expected and was trying to figure out why it's almost a $2.50 difference. We finally figured out that we ordered a Birria Nachos (#10) but he rung it up as a Compita Nacho (#18) with Birria (shredded beef). We tried to explain that we wanted number 10 and showed him a picture of the menu. He walked around the cash register and looked at the menu as well. When he went back to the cash register, he took the next guest. When he was done with the guest, he just asked if we wanted to order or not. If there's no difference between the two items, they should remove the cheaper one to prevent communication issues again. Ambiance: 4/5 - looks like the store was recently repainted and updated but some older signs are still hanging up. The tables and salsa bar could use some wiping though. Value for price: 3/5 - decent food at a slightly higher price point compared to other shops we recently visited. Unfortunately, the price difference for the nachos soured our visit immediately. Do note they only called order numbers in Spanish so brush up on your language skills...

    I frequent this taco shop every couple of weeks.. maybe more! I come here for the buche, asada, and tripas. The tripas typically come out crispy which is how I like them. I've also had the cabeza which is ok but the other 3 are my favorite. Service is fairly quick, considering I come in for lunch and the place is busy. Order them with everything which is salsa, cilantro, and onions. There is a salsa bar with the same red and green that come on the tacos as well as limes, jalapeños and radishes. Great taco shop and I will continue to visit.

    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.

    Unfortunately ww aren’t certain yet, if the tortillas are gluten free. We would have to confirm with our tortilla vendor. And we do use our fryer for multiple menu items.… Read more

I've gladly waited over an hour to get tacos, but the unfortunate part is when you come by yourself you have to basically choose one meat as it's impossible to get into another line. This time, however, I was with a group of five people so we were able to split up, but I was able to try a taco different than the pork (adobo.) usually when I come I usually grab tacos for me and my group so I'm stuck ordering 50 tacos at one time at one line. However, this time I was able to come with a group I think I'm absolutely in love with the tripe, I always love a good crispy, tripe taco, but I've never actually had it from here! Wow, it was absolutely incredible, it was so flavorful and crunchy!! I've also tried the quesadillas as well, but I don't personally care for the cheese they use. Even the corn tortillas are super fresh. Would highly recommend coming here. Just bring friends!

I really like the interior decor which is like a very contemporary and upscale Mexican. They have a variety of table and booth seating and a large bar. Our server, Hunter, was very friendly and attentive. He always ended every interaction with "have fun!" I tried the "el corazon" sangria which was delicious! It had a wonderful, warm flavor with a light hint of cinnamon yet it was still cold and refreshing! A cool tip - each drink comes with a little card with a symbol on it and the drink ingredients. Save this card! At each table is a game board of sorts that offers various prizes as you match the cards on the game board sort of like bingo. We really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa, and we tried the traditional guacamole with vegetables as well. The guacamole was wonderfully cool and creamy and flavorful. For my entree, I tried the chicken fajitas which is served on a steaming platter with various accompaniments. This was also very delicious, and the chicken was quite flavorful and juicy. A small side note - it was served with a cous cous of sort, but I think I would've preferred a simple Spanish rice. The chicken portion size also seemed a bit smaller than when we get fajitas at Chili's. I would recommend you get double meat if you want to share. We decided to try the chocolate flan and the fried ice cream sundae for dessert. I preferred the flavor of the flan and the unique textures of the flan which had the jiggly caramel flan part on top of a more cake like chocolate part below. I honestly think the fried ice cream was not too good. It did not taste freshly fried, and the coating was very dry and brittle and hard to eat. I prefer the places that serve the fried ice cream warm with a very bubbly crust that is both crunchy outside and a bit soft inside. This was not that. Overall, though, we really enjoyed the dining experience here! We will probably return and try their weekday "Fajitas and Ritas" special! I recommend Hola!

The most disappointing item was the $15 bean and cheese burrito. I included a photo in this review because it was mostly tortilla, and the cheese wasn't even melted. As for the churros, we originally ordered regular churros, but they told us they didn't have plain churros available on a Friday night, so we were pushed into getting the strawberry ones instead. Despite being strawberry flavored, they were drenched in cinnamon and sugar. They were awful.
