    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.

    The salsas were so good!

    Okay, I so I need to start my review by saying what an amazing man the owner is. When we walked in there was a homeless individual who we could almost believe to be on something, nothing he was saying made sense. BUT the owner did not kick him out, on the contrary he FED THIS PERSON! He didn't ask for money or anything he fed him and had the patience until the man left. This made me want to support this business 1000% more! Now, FOOD. The food was DELICIOUS! I ordered carne asada tacos for my kiddos and my husband ordered sopes. The tortillas were FRESHLY made, the carne asada was so well seasoned that alone it tasted amazing! My husband said the sopes were FIRE! I ordered a combination plate and a small consome! It was absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend this place! Now the look of the restaurant, it's a tiny spot for sure but I went into the restroom and it was one of the cleanest I've seen in a long time! The tables were so cute & the Christmas decorations he had was just enough! The man who helped us, who I believe to me the owner was amazing & his customer service was 100%!

    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!

They've also added a new addition to the restaurant since my last visit; a beautiful bar area that looks amazing! The bartender, Yaz, was absolutely wonderful.

It was packed with crispy white fish and shrimp, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. The combination of flavors was so good, and of course, their salsa is the bomb! Definitely worth a visit if you're craving something different, filling, and packed with flavor. And if you haven't been since they added the bar, it's worth checking out!
