Like always, Yelp helped me find another great spot! We were traveling through Utah and this was…read moreour first food stop of the trip. It definitely did NOT disappoint! The staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was very clean. First of all, Muertos Cantina is a total vibe! The inside is so cool with fluorescent lighting, colorful decor and bottles displayed beautifully behind the bar. Even the bathrooms are worth mentioning! Each one is decorated differently with tons of bright colors. Seriously, each bathroom is like its own little fiesta sanctuary. Now for the FOOD! They start you off with fresh tortilla chips and a trio of salsas, and the chips were AMAZING (especially the flour chips). Each salsa had its own completely different flavor. The Red Chile Arbol had some heat, the Chipitle Lime Crema was smooth & creamu, and then there was the milder Tomatillo Verde, which was my favorite. Soooo good! We also tried the Agua Frescas. They were refreshing, flavorful and really pretty to look at. The watermelon was probably our least favorite, but to me anything watermelon flavored can sometimes taste a little watered down. The pineapple was definitely the winner because it was way more flavorful and satisfying. Then came the Elote Corn Dip. YUMMY! It had fire roasted corn, cheese, spices, crema, pico de gallo, cilantro and Tajín. It had so much flavor and texture. Definitely one I would order again. My daughter chose the Birria Ramen, and I think this might have been her favorite part of the meal. It had slow cooked beef birria, consommé, melty cheese and ramen noodles with cilantro and red onions, plus lime and radishes on the side. It had a little spice to it and was absolutely packed with flavor. She loved it! My husband ordered one of their burritos with a side of tater tots. The kid in him was VERY happy that tater tots were an option. And FYI the burritos here are HUGE. I ordered the Smothered Spicy Chile Verde Burrito, and OMG. It had braised pork in chile verde sauce with rice and refried black beans, wrapped in a flour tortilla and then smothered with MORE chile verde, melted cheese and chipotle lime crema. It was MASSIVE and SO GOOD! I honestly have yet to find anything in Reno that compares to this one. I would order it again in a heartbeat. And whatever you do, SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! We got the churro beignets, and they were fantastic. Covered in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with caramel and condensed milk... seriously, what more do you need? They were the perfect way to finish the meal. Muertos Cantina ended up being such a great first stop on our Utah trip. Fun atmosphere, really good food, huge portions and so many different flavors. Again the atmosphere set the entire vibe for our meal. Yelp came through for me again!

My SO was craving a burrito from here so I grudgingly went along for moral support, if not to eat…read more Based on my snacking off of his plate and perusing the new menu, I am bumping them up to 4 stars. The food is still very good here and some of my previous gripes are no longer an issue. I can now order tacos and burritos à la carte again. While there is still no way to go pick whatever salsa I want and the options are still more limited than before, at least they bring out 3 of my favorites with the chips now. The drinks are still just okay , a shadow of their former selves and I will never be able to accept the loss of my beloved watermelon margarita, the way they used to make it, but I will concede the drinks are decent. Service was fine. Parking is a hassle but that's just Sugarhouse. ‍ So yeah, I guess I'm back to "willing to eat here once in a while", from "I'm never eating here again". They even have a nice taco Tuesday deal which I may hit up in the near future.

We have always been seated right away, and the staff are soooo friendly!!! However, it always takes forever to place your order. Maybe it's because they want you to order the drinks/food all at once? I mean they do have specials that include the drinks. Another awesome thing is you can order any daily special no matter what day it is. The chips and salsa are ok. Nothing fancy. The food ALWAYS comes out super hot!!!!! And you get REALLY big portions!!! Which is good and bad cause I feel awful after eating so much haha Definitely worth a try but don't expect anything crazy.

What made it even more frustrating was that I was literally the ONLY person in the restaurant at the time, so I expected my order to be prepared correctly, especially with the restaurant being completely empty. On top of that, the waitress was not very attentive throughout the meal. When I asked for the check, she seemed visibly annoyed and would roll her eyes, which made the experience feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. I understand that mistakes happen, but between the steak being completely overcooked, the lack of attentiveness, and the attitude when I asked for the check, I unfortunately left feeling pretty disappointed.

I feel obligated to let everyone in on a little secret - El Cholo has simplified their menu, lowered prices and if you want a solid meal in a fun setting, grab a seat at the bar. Margaritas are now $7. Yep. $7. Tasty, but even more so for $7. Grab a seat, order a couple of carne asada street tacos and an order of their insanely good chipotle glazed chicken wings (three per order) and a house El Cholo margarita. The tacos and the wings are $5 per order and for less than $20, you have a great deal on some tasty food. Don't worry, they'll bring chips and salsa, too - as is customary and free. Yes, these deals are only for folks at the bar, but it's a nice place to be. In a crowded, competitive dining environment and with costs to run a restaurant rising all the time, it's nice to see El Cholo try to put butts in seats via a decent bargain. It's your fault if you don't take advantage. Did I mention the $7 margarita? See you at the bar, amigos!

My daughter loved pointing out all of the decor & brightly colored banners hung up. Ambiance was great & the place was clean. Our food did take a long while to come out, but it was hot & we enjoyed the flavors. Wait staff did take their time checking on us & refilling our drinks. Prices were in line with the portions, in my opinion. Nothing super special about the food. It's about what you would expect at any standard dine in restaurant. Service was on the slower side. We may come back again if we're in the area, but not a place I'd go out of my way for.

FAST review I may be…read morePuro Gringo but I know my Mexican food. We saw a post on Instagram about the Duckie drink at El Chihuahua, so had to give it a try. Food: interesting salsa, includes celery, tad too watery, but decent. I got the Chihuahua Combo which came with a Chili verde enchilada, beef enchilada and a chili relleno. Chili Verde Enchilada: the flour tortilla was doughy and I couldn't eat it. The chili Verde however was really good, with a nice picante spice. Chili Relleno was good, though the egg batter was a tad bit wet, maybe eat that first. Beef Enchilada disappointed as it was just ground beef. Overall the taste was good, just disappointed with some aspects of the dish. We got the Mango Duckie drink which was good. The wife doesn't like Mexican food so she got the adult version of chicken strips, which were fine. Atmosphere: loud, lots of TVs showing FIFA Word cup. Great Mexican feel. Everyone was enjoying the restaurant! Service: our waitress Deisy was awesome! Tips: get the Duckie!

I was excited to try the grilled octopus it was great! I wish is had a little more chae from the grill on it but the flavors were brilliant. It was quite large so I unfortunately didn't finish it. Everyone loved the salsas they brought out first and the chips were warm, but crispy and salted perfectly. My coworkers got various dishes like the carnitas, chili colorado, sugar cane filet and they all highly enjoyed their dishes. Everyone said they would come back and are eager to try some other menu items. At the end we got a Butter cake to share and it was scrumptious! Highly recommend trying it
