    Burrito carne asada
    Rustin L.

    Stopped in for another carne asada burrito and a pastor. Both were really good, place was packed on a Friday around 11:30am. It's just under $30 for 2 burritos so it's not cheap but was definitely worth it. Good size on each, lightly grilled tortilla, perfect blend of beans, cheese and rice. Great selection at the salsa bar!

    Lots of seating, good sized menu with a lot of options for people who like meat or seafood. Casual vibe, and a salsa bar to spice up your tacos, although it wasn't loaded, it had what you need. I got the pastor without pineapple and the carne asada street tacos. They were seasoned well. The pastor was the star of the show for me. Carne asada wasn't dry and had good flavor, but had some chewy bits of gristle. Still better than most spots who have such dry meat. They also were generous with the amount of meat in the tacos. The horchata wasn't to sweet compared to other spots and had good flavor. The woman who took my order was sweet and let me sample before I committed because I don't like it when it's crazy sugary. I think its my new favorite taco spot close by when I want some yummy street tacos

    You must go immediately and get either the arabe tacos or arabe vampiro!! You will not regret it!! One of my favorite taco places, the flavor is really good and so much variety! They have many things besides tacos! Also all of their salsas are very tasty! My favorites are the creamy roja and verde options, give them a try!

    It's pretty big and clean inside, very nice decor, good Spanish music. You smell the asada as soon as you walk in. Workers were nice, can't complain. Food was amazing, I enjoyed all the meats. Did not get a photo of the street tacos carne arabe or taco cabeza but those were also delicious. 10/10, I would come back.

    Mi primera vez visitando el restaurante y la última. No hubo necesidad de probar la comida porque a simple vista estaba un cabello largo entre el huevo. Logré verlo a tiempo así que no tuve que sacarlo de mi boca. Me parece lo más antihigiénico y asqueroso. NO RECOMIENDO VISITEN EL RESTAURANTE. No dije nada por que me provocó más asco que pena. Me levanté de la mesa y dejé el plato intacto como me lo sirvieron. No soy un comensal exigente, soy Mexicano pero un cabello largo a simple vista me parece asqueroso. 00/10

    Probably one of the best taco places I've been to in the whole country! The waiter was very nice and easy to talk to. They also have a generous variety of salsas and condiments in the self-service bar. The place itself is quite clean and spacious, and creatively decorated too! The tacos had nice and tender meat and were not overly seasoned or cheesy - just the right amount of flavor! I also had a lengua vampiro (kind of like a tortilla sandwich - think overstuffed mulitas) that had a lot of cheese that really melted with the meat, but wasn't overwhelming. They also had some complimentary chips to go with all of it, which was a nice touch. Really my only complaints are the bathroom doors which didn't seem to work, and how empty the place felt. I suppose we came during down-time when fewer people are eating. I imagine more people come in throughout the day to fill it up, but either way, I recommend checking this place out to liven things up a bit!

    Ramen Birria

    I ordered this for lunch tacos in Birria Ramen. I didn't receive any broth or to dip the tacos in, but the tacos are tasty. I got delivered so there wasn't any customer service, but the delivery was fast and they made the food fast as far as ambience, I will have to visit the restaurant one day. The Ramen lack flavor I had to add seasonings at home but this is not what Birria ramen should taste like.

    Chicken burrito
    Anna R.

    The chicken burrito was delicious! My husband got the shrimp taco plate and it was gorgeous and delicious!! Highly recommend if you are training in the area! There's a salsa bar to dress your burrito as you wish!!

    Birria Burrito
    Alicia N.

    This is a really good spot, very small, but extremely underrated! The food is tasty and my favorite is the Beef Birria. It is pretty pricey, For three meals I paid about $60. I guess that standard nowadays at any restaurant. Their Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus) is so good as well as their Horchata! If you like either one of those drinks, you will enjoy theirs. The parking area is small, but they have a steady flow of people so it's never too packed. Every time I've came here it's always been around lunchtime hours. Their menu is small, but it has a variety of different meals. Try it out if you're looking for some authentic Mexican food.

    Saw this establishment being advertised and their carne arabe (pork) tacos caught my eye. So I dragged my husband here to have lunch with me one Saturday! It was pretty empty when we walked in but it was very clean. You'll go up and order your food and they will bring it to your table. I decided to get two carne arabe street tacos, one pastor street taco with pineapples, and one lengua street taco. I also made sure to get my pastor and lengua on flour tortillas. My husband got almost the same variety except he got carne asada instead of lengua. We also got an order of chips & guac. There's a stand/bar where you can grab some salsa, lime, cilantro, onions, radishes, etc. They also have containers for you to get it to-go as well! When our food came out, they actually included chips to your order, which is great. Cause you can just grab some salsa from the bar and you got some chips & salsa! The carne arabe (pork) tacos are, by far, their best. It was delicious and the sauce they used on it was different from your regular salsa. It had a smokey BBQ type of flavor to it so it did have sweetness. I added cilantros and onions to it as well. The pastor had good flavor but it had a lack of fattiness to the meat. The meat that they used seemed pretty lean so extra salsa was needed. The lengua was the same as the pastor -- it didn't have the fattiness that I was used to but flavor was good. Everything that we had was pretty good. I would definitely come back for the carne arabe. Maybe next time I'll try a burrito or something!

    A nice sized restaurant with about 10 tables with some Hispanic music in the background. The staff were all very nice and attentive We really enjoyed our food: The árabe taco was unique and flavorful and came with a sweet chipotle sauce that was delicious. They use a flour tortilla vs a corn one. The carne asada taco had great flavor and they did not skimp on the meat. Meat was not dry but had that nice grilled flavor The lengua was tender but needed a little salt The Al pastor was delicious in the taco and vampiro - we enjoyed the flavor and liked that small pieces of pineapple were mixed in. The salsas had good flavor with a little kick. Solid place to grab some fast Mexican food as we enjoyed everything

    Two tacos pastor & two tacos asada.

    This place is just "meh". The al pastor was under flavored and lots of the meat was either burned to a crisp or overly fatty.

Unfortunately, the food continues to be mediocre and certainly isn't the reason I kept returning. What made CHICA enjoyable were the dancers, the performances, and the energy they brought to the restaurant. That was the experience. That was the entertainment. That was what separated CHICA from being just another overpriced restaurant with average food. Today, I was informed that management decided to cancel the dance performances. Brilliant decision. Apparently someone in management looked at the one thing customers actually enjoyed and thought, "You know what would make this place better? Let's get rid of it." I'm also clearly not the only person wondering what happened. Other customers were asking why the dancers were no longer performing. Maybe management should take the hint. As a local customer who has returned multiple times, I'm done. There is absolutely no reason for me to keep coming back now. Mediocre food without the entertainment is just... mediocre food. Whoever made the decision to eliminate the performances should seriously reconsider their understanding of hospitality and customer experience. If this was supposed to be an improvement, I'd hate to see what management considers a bad decision. And while you're reviewing questionable decisions, please do something about the DJ. The music is terrible, completely out of touch, and does absolutely nothing for the atmosphere. At this point, replacing the DJ might be the easiest improvement management could make. Great job, management. You took something unique and entertaining and turned it into something completely forgettable. You lost a loyal local customer--and judging by the reactions I heard tonight, I doubt I'll be the only one. Dj and management suck!

The Tulum-inspired decor hits immediately -- warm earthy tones, hacienda touches, and an overall vibe that somehow feels intimate and unhurried despite being smack in the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard. It's the kind of place where you actually want to linger rather than rush out, which says a lot on the Strip. The food is solid Mexican -- nothing mind-blowing, but reliable and satisfying. They press their tortillas fresh in-house daily, which you can taste, and the taco and fajita options cover enough ground to keep the table happy. The margarita menu is worth exploring too. Pair that with the nighttime Strip views from the mall's terrace-adjacent seating, and the whole experience gets a solid bump up. Service was genuinely attentive -- our server checked in at the right moments without hovering, which is the sweet spot. For a Strip restaurant, that's not always a given. The staff clearly know the menu well and make decent recommendations if you ask. One thing to set expectations on: parking is essentially nonexistent since you're on the Strip. But honestly, walking the boulevard at night isn't the worst thing -- especially when the lights are out and the energy is up. Worth the stroll.

    I was staying in town at the Harrahs for wrestlemania and I was walking around looking for…read moresomething to eat. I stumble across this place. It was between a bunch of other eateries and retail and candy shops. I was intrigued I love burritos and I love sushi so why not put them together right? I went in and ordered the number one seller the Long Beach made with Surimi Crab, Shrimp Tempura, and Spicy Tuna, Chipotle Mayo and Eel Sauce. Cucumber, Won Ton Strips and Guacamole. All rolled up in rice and seaweed paper. It's cut in half and I promise you once you take a bite into it. You will know exactly what I'm talking about. It was honestly one of the best things they ate all weekend. I would've gone back easily two more times to try the others. So if you're a sushi lover and new operas this once for you, make sure you stop in. I think there's possible locations around Vegas. This one is between the Harrahs and the Linq.

    For some reason, all I wanted was a sushi burrito, and to my surprise there was a spot serving them…read moreliterally downstairs on the LINQ Promenade. The location itself is convenient and has plenty of seating both inside and outside. If you want to enjoy the Vegas weather and do some people watching, the outdoor seating is a great option. I ended up sitting inside to escape some of the noise from the promenade. Everything was clean and the booth seating was surprisingly comfortable. Ordering is done through a kiosk. Beyond sushi burritos, they also offer sushi rolls, hand rolls, bowls with rice or greens, teriyaki bowls, sides, desserts, and drinks. There's definitely enough variety for everyone to find something. I decided to order The Mission, which comes with salmon, imitation crab, shrimp tempura, poke sauce, spicy mayo, cream cheese, avocado, and wonton strips. I opted to leave off the cream cheese because I wanted something a little fresher and lighter tasting. I also added eel sauce and carrots since there are several sauces and add-ons available, including extra proteins and premium ingredients. My burrito came out to around $20, which honestly wasn't shocking. That's pretty comparable to what I'd expect to pay back home in San Diego, so at that point it really came down to whether the quality justified the price. The first thing I noticed was the size. This is probably the smallest sushi burrito I've ever been served. That being said, the rice-to-filling ratio was actually excellent. One of my biggest complaints with sushi burritos is when they're stuffed with rice and skimp on everything else. That definitely wasn't the case here. There were generous chunks of salmon throughout and all of the ingredients tasted fresh. The problem was that the burrito wasn't wrapped tightly enough to hold itself together once the paper wrapper came off. It started falling apart pretty quickly and became messy to eat. As for the flavor, this is where I felt a little disappointed. Nothing tasted bad. In fact, everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The salmon was good quality, the shrimp tempura added crunch, and the sauces were balanced. Even with the poke sauce, spicy mayo, and eel sauce, though, it felt like something was missing. After the first couple bites, I found myself less excited about it. By the time I got halfway through, I wasn't really craving the second half anymore. I finished it because I spent $20 on it, not because I couldn't stop eating it. If you're wandering the promenade and looking for a quick meal, JA Burritos is worth considering. Just don't expect it to be the sushi burrito that changes your life.
