    Grilled Chicken Tacos
    Savannah R.

    Looking for a late night eat as everything in Chinatown was closing or closed! Stumbled upon this place closer to the freeway entrance and boi were we surprised. It was pretty busy for a Sunday late night & it definitely wasn't a loud environment. Walking into the place it was bright, employees were friendly, and the menu was bold with so many options! We ordered 1 fish taco with the works, 3 grilled chicken tacos with everything but guacamole, & a California burrito and nothing disappointed. Everything was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and the flavors were memorable! Service was also quick! They had a huge selection of glass bottled beers and drinks including Mexican Coke. The salsa stand was to die for so many choices and not one of them disappointed in the flavor department. Overall great experience and great place will recommend to others and we'll be back!

    If you are craving cheap Mexican food, this is the place. Had an Al Pastor burrito with rice and beans on the side. It was good. I'd still give the nod to Sergs but since the had an actual salsa bar, it's a winnah! I heard it's best to go on off hours cause it gets packed. We had no problem as we went just before 11am. The Pico de gallo was good,as were the rest of the salsas. Surprisingly the habanero wasn't very burner.

    We have been going to Taco Stand a lot recently. The original location was founded in San Diego in 2013 by two guys from Tijuana. There are locations in Southern California, Florida, and Texas, We like how easy it is to get good food fast here. Parking at this location is ample. There's usually not a line when we go and the staff is always friendly. You order at the counter and then seat yourself. Sometimes it takes a little while to get your food, but that's fine because it's made fresh. My favorite items are the carne asada tacos, as well as the camaron (shrimp) tacos and elote. They also offer burritos, quesadillas, carne asada fries, and churros. There is a self-serve salsa bar that offers varying spice levels, from mild to extra spicy. The restaurant isn't fancy and I like that, too. This is just a great place to get some tasty tacos.

    The Taco Stand is the real deal. Tucked off Spring Mountain in Chinatown, this Tijuana-style taqueria nails everything that matters: handmade corn tortillas pressed to order, al pastor sliced fresh off a vertical spit with pineapple, flame-grilled carne asada with a perfect char, and a salsa bar that lets you build the flavor you want. Most tacos run under $5, which feels like theft compared to what you'd pay anywhere near the Strip. Solid vegetarian options too -- the mushroom and cactus tacos surprised me. Service is fast, the vibe is casual, and the AC is a godsend in summer. Lunch rush gets busy for good reason. Five stars, will be back often.

    Cannot say enough good things about this taco stand! The alpastor is the absolute best and has flavor!! Churros are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Tortillas are soft and wonderful. The staff is super friendly as well. They have great filtered water too which matters to the water lovers out there (which I am). Must go here!

    Spicy Shrimp Tacos

    Coming from Southern California, where there are plenty of great taco shops, I can say Taco Stand is solid. The carne asada is well-seasoned and authentic, the al pastor is great, and the carne asada fries are delicious. The spicy shrimp taco was excellent too. The manager was super friendly and made sure we were enjoying our food. I love it here. The carne asada they use as a better quality mean than some of their competitors. I always come here when I'm in the mood for straight tacos and I recommend visiting if you haven't already!

    Consistent!! Never had a bad taco or burrito from here. Always my first stop when I touch down in Vegas for a quick bite. The churros... it's like walking through the gates of heaven, cooked by Jesus himself. They are slap your momma good! I eat them before my tacos, all of them, don't ask me for any! If you haven't then you should.

    Our first encounter with The Taco Stand was in San Diego. It was a much smaller location compared to The Taco Stand in Las Vegas that is located at the bottom of Green Leaf Lotus condo complex. My eldest daughter and I stopped by for a quick lunch before exploring the city that never sleeps. Surrounded by friendly and good vibes all around. Big inside space with colorful seating. Tables had drink holders on the side which is a super idea so more space for more food on the table. Wall decor had beautiful art and vibrant colors. Soda fountain and condiments stations were available. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Ambiance was just wonderful. Authentic Mexican restaurant right at the heart of Las Vegas. We dined-in and ordered 2 mushroom tacos, 1 shrimp taco, 1 chicken asado taco, 1 Al pastor taco, and 2 churros. Everything from taco meats and seafood, veggies, tortillas, and churros were so fresh, flavorful, and yummy. Churros were thick and condense milk made it quite a supreme dessert. They were made to order. Quality was on point! Our lunch experience was amazing. We enjoyed it so much we wanted to come back before leaving Las Vegas. However, we didn't make it back. It's on our list to return for more taco greatness and more. Well done Taco Stand! Thank you!!

    AL PASTOR TACO
    Caroline L.

    Not sure if we got the right stuff but thought it was just okay compared to some other places on the area. We got the al pastor tacos, fish tacos, and churros. I would say the deep fried fish taco was probably me favorite of the three. There's parking but seating may be hard to find during lunch hours and there isn't anywhere to eat outside in the area. Standard service from a place that sells tacos and burritos.

    If you're looking for tacos in the Spring Mountain area, this is probably your only option. The tacos are more gourmet by providing a clean taste with a slightly higher price point. We ordered 2 al pastor tacos and the carne asada fries. The tacos are great as they have a really clean taste and comes has it's own sauce on it. The carne asada fries on the other hand were good, but not great. In my opinion it was less salty and was missing some type of essence that I was looking for. I wasn't drunk, but I feel like this flavor wouldn't be what you're looking for after a night of drinking in Vegas. The location is pretty spacious, but there are times when it gets busy and you may have to get lucky to have a spot to eat at. This place can do a little better as far as cleanliness. It has potential but there was trash all on the ground and the trash was full. The little bit of effort would have made the experience a little better. The service is decent, but if there is a line, you may find yourself waiting outside in the cold/hot depending on the season. This place does its job by providing your taco fix with a clean taste but not a crave-able taste in my opinion. If you're looking for great tacos, theres better options that are even open late.

    CARNE ASADA TACO AL PASTOR TACO
    Victoria F.

    Came here for lunch. Ordered 4 tacos (2 asada & 2 pastor) and a drink. While the food was good , over $4/taco is excessive to me. Everything is made to order, so there is a little bit of a wait, but food was worth it.

    The meat is well-marinated with that classic sweet-savory balance, cooked so it's tender with just enough char. You get real depth of flavor, not greasy, not dry, and not overly sweet. The pineapple adds brightness without turning it into a gimmick, and the onion and cilantro stay crisp and fresh. The tortillas hold everything together perfectly. They're warm, lightly toasted, and sturdy enough to carry the meat and sauce without falling apart. The salsa ties it all together with a clean kick instead of overpowering the pastor. It's the kind of al pastor you crave after the first bite. Simple, focused, and done right. No distractions, no unnecessary extras, just a properly executed taco that reminds you why al pastor is a classic. Service is always impeccable. Orders are taken efficiently, the staff moves with purpose, and everything runs smoothly even when it's busy. The team is attentive without hovering, friendly without being over-the-top, and consistently gets it right. It's the kind of service that makes the whole experience feel effortless and keeps you coming back.

    These Tijuana style street tacos are pretty good. I like the variety they had. My teenage kids loved the carne asada and al pastor. They were flavorful and meat was tender. I also loved the pineapple with the al pastor. I enjoyed the shrimp taco and the crispy fish. Next time I want to taste the mushroom choice. I'm glad Vegas has this chain from L.A. as there are not that many good taco places in Vegas.
