Menu
Michelle L.

Went here after church with a bunch of my girlfriends. None of us spoke Spanish, but the kind employee was so accommodating and explained everything about the menu to us. I didn't feel like a fish-out-of-water like some of the other Hispanic-owned hole-in-the-walls. We were told that the menu is based on Ecuadorean cuisine so they use a different variation of meats and sauces than the Mexican taco. Unfortunately, they don't offer platter combos, so you would need to order your tacos and sides a la carte. I ordered the pina drink with two asada tacos and one pollo taco. All the tacos came with just the tortilla and meats, and the onions and cilantro came on the side in little bags. They also gave us bags of like wedges and spicy sauces (none of which I could handle as they were too spicy for me). The tacos were okay, but what stood out to me were their tortillas. I'm not sure if they made them in-house, but they felt and tasted homemade. They were irregularly shaped but had a doughy texture. Some of my friends ordered from the entree menu and their portions were ginormous! (See photo). My friend told me that her steak was a bit dry though. Overall, we had a positive experience here. We also did not have issues splitting the checks among us 6 women. The music and conversations were a bit on the louder side, so just be aware.

Consomé and rice
Brizette C.

This place is absolutely amazing! Every time I come to Vegas I have attempt to find a good goat barbacoa and consomé restaurant and had not been able to for years until now. Not only is the food great but the staff makes you feel like family. Immediately as you walk in they greet you with a big smile. The prices are great and they have good family deals. The goat meat here is the best around with a doubt.Although the restaurant is small the inside is beautiful and the atmosphere is amazing. If you haven't been in yet, drop by for lunch or dinner.

Chilaquiles With over-easy eggs.
Megan N.

This place does not look like much from the outside, but is quite a hidden gem. The food is very fresh and authentic. The sauce used in the chilaquiles is made in-house and super flavorful. Anyone who likes spicy would probably enjoy this dish. I also thought the prices for the portions we got were reasonable, and the staff are friendly. I would definitely come back here.

Great Barbacoa!

Seriously, you can't go wrong with anything you order. And don't let the long lines scare you! The service is super quick, so you're not waiting nearly as long as you might expect. I also got their grilled onions and peppers, and that little extra kick took everything to another level. If you're coming to Vegas and want a cheap, filling meal, this is definitely a spot to add to your list. And honestly, one vampiro taco and you will be STUFFED! The hype is real. Definitely worth the stop!

It seemed a little confusing at first, but they clearly have it worked out to a science and everything moves pretty quickly. The homemade corn tortillas were probably one of my favorite parts. The steak and pork tacos were both excellent and definitely my favorites. The chorizo was okay, but I'd probably skip it next time and get another steak or pork instead. Overall, the tacos were delicious and we were really pleased with the experience. It's a fun place and a little different from your typical taco shop. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in Vegas.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with an atmosphere that's full of nostalgia and heart,…read moreLa Vecindad Mexican Restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we felt like we had stepped into the world of the beloved classic Mexican television show El Chavo del 8. The décor perfectly captures the charm and warmth of "la vecindad," making it a fun experience for both adults who grew up watching the show and younger generations experiencing it for the first time. The food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared with authentic Mexican flavors that truly stood out. The drinks were just as impressive--refreshing, expertly made, and the perfect complement to our meal. What really made our visit special was the incredible service. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making us feel like family from start to finish. The restaurant also has a wonderful family-friendly atmosphere where everyone can relax, laugh, and enjoy a great meal together. La Vecindad isn't just a place to eat--it's an experience filled with delicious food, amazing drinks, exceptional service, and a nostalgic tribute to El Chavo del 8 that brings smiles to every table. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Mexican cuisine and a memorable dining experience. Five stars all the way!

After my spectacular first meal at Toca Madera, I had to schedule a return, which I did Friday…read moreevening. This time my daughter and niece joined me. I was excited to dine in the main dining room rather than at my bar-area table from Wednesday. Travis, our server, was fantastic, just like Mariah on my first visit. I will say, it seemed even louder in the main dining room. The electronic dance music soundtrack makes you feel like you're dining in a hot dance club. Definitely not the place for a quiet dinner, but it's all part of the Toca Madera experience. We started with the Watermelon and Passion Fruit Margaritas. Both superb. For a starter, we ordered the Queso Fundido. It arrived at the table like molten lava, so we had to give it a few minutes before diving in. Once we did, it was incredible. For our entrees and sides, we had the Petite Filet and Seared Scallops. Both were awesome. We also ordered the Street Corn, which I had loved so much on Wednesday, and the Whipped Potatoes. The potatoes, with a little jalapeño oil and lime salt, were insanely good. During dinner, Travis treated our table to Toca Madera's fire shots. They arrive in tall shot glasses topped with a seasoned lime slice and sugar cube, which is then lit on fire tableside. It's quite the presentation and fits this restaurant perfectly. Apparently we made a good impression on management, because dessert turned into an event of its own. We were treated to a huge platter featuring the Brownie Celebration along with the Strawberry Tres Leches and Brown Butter Cake. It was quite a finish to the meal. As great as my Wednesday dinner was, Friday night was even better. And this time we had a ringside seat for Toca Madera's female fire performer, who came out at 7:30 and again at 8:30. Watching her perform just a few feet from our table was amazing and really capped off the evening. Two visits in three days. That probably tells you everything you need to know about how much I enjoyed Toca Madera.
