    Lobby
    Cortney A.

    The place overall looked pretty clean and the service was very welcoming. The food however is not worthy of a return. I ordered two shrimp tacos that are served with ranch dressing (I'm so glad the cashier shared that tip or I would have been dissatisfied even further). The shrimp were big but very bland to taste I mean no flavor at all just wet served with warm pico de gallo toppings which made the corn tortilla soggy and fall apart. The red salsa is hot but delicious and the pickled red onions were my second favorite. The rice and beans are decent but overall $14+ dollars later I would not return.

    Lengua fries
    Jovanni A.

    $20 for this... They think a medium soda will make up for the ridiculous price. You may think it's ok bcz the meat(lengua) is extremely delicious but no, it's a bad as it looks. Go to any other place. Asada fries $14 Cabeza fries $18 All equally bad

    Person who is running the counter is on her phone texting while I just stand there, she contd even after her coworkers pointed me out.

    This is why their drive through is so slow and the service is shit...even after her coworkers pointed me out she continued texting on her phone...which is how I was able to take the picture. I don't even know if I want to eat this burrito now Btw..there were about 4-5 cars in the drive thru which is why I went inside.

    Carnitas Taco
    Ariana R.

    Ordenamos : 4 tacos 2 de carnitas con queso y crema que eran más como tacos de crema con carnitas. Y luego era puro cuero lo que le hecharon al taco 1 de carne asada que estaba todo desabrido y uno de pollo que estaba seco seco El burrito de pollo lleva un arroz humeado y desabrido y casi ni le hecharon pero si se pasaron con la cebolla Las asada fríes era lo único decente. Igual la carne desabrida. No recomendó.

    If your craving a good breakfast burrito on the east side then viva el taco is the place. I ordered a chorizo egg potato and cheese breakfast burrito. This burrito is so tasty and satisfying. The size of it is worth the price as well. It's about 7 bucks. Well worth it. I definitely recommend trying it.

    I travel far for this place, but I only do it for one item on their menu that rivals all the other places. Their Carne Asada fries are to die for. If you try them just on their own they are amazing. I like them with the green sauce, and the price actually fits the dish. The carne asada fries easily better than Robertos Tacos and Tacos el gordo. I would recommend them lol just be prepared to break diets for this

    Pricing I found is a bit cheaper then some of the other Mexican food chains. Only issue I've had is they did not understand a request to add something and messed up my order once.

    Chicken Nacho with No Chips and No Cheese!!!!!
    Trisha B.

    I usually come here once a week. I really like the chicken nachos. Although I was very very disappointed tonight. There was NO CHIPS!!!! I really enjoyed the chicken but I saved it so I can go buy some chips to eat it with it and cheese. Make my own. Shame on the cook for ruining my nachos tonight!!!!

    Wednesday specials are really good. They can have a little bit of an attitude if you ask for ground beef.

    Nice Mexican Filipino fusion restaurant across the street from Mandalay Bay in the same plaza with…read morePanda Express, McDonald's and a couple other things. Place is known for their huge burritos but also has other offerings like tacos, quesadillas, fries etc, Wife got carne asada fries and I got the rolled taquitoe and lumpia. Super convenient to order online from our hotel room at Mandalay Bay and walk over and it was ready. Food was good and service was friendly. Nice spot if you want to keep avoiding the hotel food courts

    If you're a Las Vegas local, you know that when you see a Yelp review with a high star rating for a…read morerestaurant on the Las Vegas Strip, the ratings are often inflated. This place is not worth your money. You can get better quality food and larger portions for one-third of the price at Don Tortaco. Yes, this place is THAT bad. We ordered the carne asada nachos, a chorizo breakfast burrito, a bean and cheese burrito, and two strawberry churros. The breakfast burrito honestly wasn't bad. However, it was $20, and I still felt like I needed another burrito afterward. The carne asada nachos looked were made with a mix of ground beef and carne asada instead of just carne asada. 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.

    OMG what an experience at this restaurant. My husband booked it for our anniversary…read more It is located next to the Aria entrance at the Crystal Shops, so do self parking at the Aria Hotel. This is a place that you need to make reservations and come nicely dressed. No flip flops, no shorts for men, no baseball caps. They have a VIP Lounge for their Members, including a Hidden Menu for them. Ambiance is very romantic, low lights, music, performers staring at 8pm every night. Perfect for a romantic date, business dinner or celebrating something. Food is Mexican upscale an very exquisite. They have original drinks and each dish is beautifully decorated. We ordered a Matcha Martini (can't even describe how good it was). For food we had the Crispy Calamari and Chicken Enchiladas. Perfect for sharing, delicate and it is a explosion of flavors in your mouth. Service is so outstanding, Mariah and Jesus were our servers. You get assigned two servers even being a party of two. Since entering the restaurant we were treated like VIP and everyone said Happy Anniversary to us. They had even read our special instructions of dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free). At the end of our dining experience the Chef sent us a Dairy Free, Gluten free and Vegan dessert on the house to celebrate oour special day. It was such the perfect touch to end our dining experience. It was our first time here, we will definitely come back and reserve for a later time since the only thing we missed were the performers because they show up later at night.

    I don't give out a lot of 5's and if someone were to argue against it I can see why. For me though,…read morehere's why it's a 5. In short, the food is delicious, the drinks are consistently good, the service is on point and the vibes at night scream date night. This place has a special place in my heart because it's where I discovered the carajillo, the carajillo I use as the gold standard for all carajillos; granted the OG version with cream is the best. They have great variety of cocktails and getting them is an experience all on their own. Each drink and its presentation are unique to one another. Great IG worthy drinks. As for the food everything was delicious and the proteins tender. Portions are pretty decent for this type of place. Also they're on online so you can kind of splurge a little if you want to Not sure if it's every night but I have seen live musicians and fire dancers there.
