    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!
    Diana S.

    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!

    Service was not so good... the guy I order my tacos from had a bad attitude but if you about food…read moreand not service.. tacos are on point and I just tried the taco del pastor...

    Hands down one of my favorite and most affordable taco spots!…read more It's located next to a busy plaza so parking can be quite difficult They're open daily 10am-2pm. Definitely recommend going when they first open because otherwise it doesn't matter the time or day of the week, the lines are extremely long! Love how spacious the restaurant and how organized it is! Once inside the restaurant, there are several lines and you just line up according to which meat and item you want. The longest lines are definitely the asada and adobada (pork)! Once you reach the front of the line, you just tell the staff which and how many of the item you want, as well as any customizations to it. After you get your order, you just head to the cashier line and paying is so easy and convenient! Pricing is reasonable. - Tacos, tostadas, taco aztecas - $4.12 - Sopes, quesadillas, vampiras, & mulas - $7.54. - fries with meat - $22.18+ - soft drinks - $3.31 Arrived at 11am on Sunday and it was already super crowded. Stood in the asada line for at least half an hour but the wait was so worth it! Got 3 Asada Tacos and the tortilla was so soft, hot, and fresh. It was stuffed with plenty of tender beef! The beef was packed with flavor and marinated so well! The pico de gallo was so delicious, as well as the salsa and guac. The Horchata was ok and nothing special since it wasn't made from scratch like the phenomenal tacos! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and my food. Definitely would recommend and return!

Small in size but packed with flavor. The Himachi? We could've eaten ten of them. Deeeelicious.

The taste of the beef was absolutely amazing and loved the accrucements that accompanied it as well. We ended our meal with an almost missed Tres Leches. (Silly me didn't ask for the dessert menu, almost had grounds for being left in Las Vegas!).

I came here for brunch, and the menu was small but tasty. I had green juice, coffee, and sparkling water. I was for sure very thirsty. For food, I shared a potato flauntas which is a must order! The taste was great and super flavorful with the sauce all over it. I ordered a gem salad because I was feeling like I wasn't eating enough vegetables at all during this trip. Service was super nice and overall I did enjoy all the drinks and got super hydrated. Wouldn't mind coming back to check out their dinner options for sure.

Between the music, crowd, and fire performances, it really feels like a full experience and not just dinner. I will say, when we first arrived the front dining room surrounded by candles was VERY warm. I asked if they could lower the AC because while I totally understand the ambiance they're going for, once everyone starts eating and drinking it gets hot fast. They were very accommodating and did lower it a bit, which we appreciated. I also loved that they start you off with pico de gallo and chips for the table, and when we asked for more they happily brought extra. Such a small thing but it made the experience feel really welcoming and generous. For food, we ordered the truffle quesadilla, street corn, and the Chicken Parm Mexicana. The truffle quesadilla was SO good and packed with flavor from the mushrooms, truffle oil, and cheese. The street corn was delicious too, and the Chicken Parm Mexicana was such a fun twist on a classic. Crispy chicken, flavorful sauce, and perfectly melted Chihuahua cheese. For drinks, I had the Toca Margarita and loved it. Super fresh and well balanced. Service was great throughout the night and the atmosphere made it such a fun place for our group dinner before the No Doubt concert at the Sphere. Would absolutely come back on another Vegas trip!!

The salsas, guac, and their chips...out of this world flavor! Loved the tomatillo based salsa...SO good!

I also ordered the Horchata hoping a praying it wasn't the watered down stuff you find everywhere....nope!
