    Flaming Skull
    Julie T.

    We stopped by here to celebrate my birthday and have dinner before the BSB concert. It's very dark inside so just beware, kinda like a Latin club vibes, so watch your steps. Music, dim lights on to set you in a good mood. We were treated with amazing service by our server Styx. Here's what we ordered for our party of 3 and held up a lamp to read the menu: Appetizers/Sides: Street Corn $15 (5/5) Super creamy and smothered in gooey cheese Hamachi Tiradito $28 (4/5) I dont eat raw foods but the rest of my party really enjoyed this dish Misto Ceviche $23 (4/5) This also had raw pieces of fish in it and partially cooked seafood mixed in. I did try the cooked pieces and it was super limey, very limey and comes with blue tortilla chips Amado Arepas $18 (5/5) This comes with 2 pieces but we added on a 3rd one so we can get get one ($9 each). It was a small bite, but packed a punch with a yummy tender braised short ribs inside and crunch exterior Entrees: American Wagyu $185 (4/5) 16oz Black Grace Rosewood NY Stripe. It was a little more charred not the outside, but it was presented very nicely and sliced up for us. A little more chewy than your normal Wagyu or maybe because it's also a NY cut. It comes with 3 dipping sauces and thinly Fried string onions. Drinks: Living my best life, burning passion (it was really burning on fire), and palomita! They were all tasty and fun! And we also got a free fruity birthday shot! Yay! Desserts: Flaming Skull $38 (5/5) Ok if you don't have diabetes, cuz it's all SUGA, then order this. The skull is engulf with rum and lit up in flames so it melts. Then the oogey chocolate warm skull cake you can dip and eat with the horchata ice cream, marshmallow fluff, and candied puff rice. So Ded I mean it. They also gave me another small cake and candle with birthday card! They also charge an automatic 18% for any part size so just beware and ck your receipt. Overall dinner was delicious and we all left super happy and full. I would definitely come back to try more dishes next time I'm in Vegas!

    Potato Flautas
    Christina C.

    CHICA has a fun, lively atmosphere and is a great spot to grab drinks and share a bunch of different plates. We went during Happy Hour. Every food item on the Happy Hour menu is $12, which makes it a great way to try a variety of dishes without spending a fortune in Vegas. We ordered the shrimp tacos, CHICA nachos, Firecracker Wings, quesa-birria empanadas, potato flautas, shrimp ceviche, and ahi tuna bites. Everything was absolutely delicious, and there honestly wasn't a bad dish in the bunch. One thing to keep in mind is that these truly are small plates. Don't expect a lot of food with each $12 dish. They're perfect for ordering several different things and sharing, but if you're really hungry, you'll definitely want to order multiple plates. The Firecracker Wings had a really nice kick to them. We loved the spice, but if you have a lower spice tolerance, be careful with those! Also, a heads-up about the shrimp ceviche: CHICA's version is more tomato-based rather than the bright, lime-forward ceviche you might be expecting. It was still really good, but if you don't like tomato-based ceviche, that's definitely something to know before ordering. For drinks, we tried the CHICA-Rita, Palomita, and Tommy's Margarita. They were running a 2-for-1 drink special for $21 total, which was such a great deal, especially for Vegas. Between the absolutely delicious food, fun atmosphere, and Happy Hour pricing, we really enjoyed CHICA. It's a great spot if you like ordering a bunch of small plates for the table and getting to try a little bit of everything.

    After an early morning flight into Vegas, my sisters and I went to Chica for brunch. We got a reservation, which didn't really seem necessary as it was pretty empty when we got there. The vibes are really fun, very vibrant and there are various rooms that could offer more intimate spaces if you wanted. We were greeted pretty promptly, but the service was admittedly slow. He was attentive when around, and there was someone always coming around and filling our water, but it did take a bit to get our order in and receive our food. The food was absolutely delicious! I can't remember the name of my meal, but it had steak with chimichurri, fried plantain, pico, avocado, beans, rice and an egg. My favorite part was definitely the steak! It was perfectly cooked and the chimichurri added the best brightness that the dish needed! There are so many spots in Vegas so I'm not sure I'd come back but I definitely enjoyed it.

    Complimentary tres leches for birthday
    Jennifer C.

    Surprisingly good for getting a last minute reservation on a Fri night. The space is nice and vibey. They had live music and every 15 or so minutes. They give you fun lights to help add to the party vibes. For food we got the half chicken, scallops, arepas and street corn. All the food was pretty good. I was surprised that the arepas weren't the traditional style. Instead they were small discs and they put the meat on top. Two pieces that were two bites each. Since it was my birthday the have a complimentary tres leches which was a nice touch. Service was fast and friendly.

    We've been here three times now. It keeps getting better. We've been to just about every restaurant inside the Venetian/Palazzo and this joint is tops. Short rib dinner is excellent. The guac and chips are a high point, trust me. The drinks are solid and the service is consistently good. If you are staying at the Venetian or Palazzo, it's a no brainer. Get a res and enjoy. You will not be disappointed.

    Went here around brunch time and was sat immediately. Great service and clean interior. I went with the paisa breakfast bowl and wow - I loved it! Not overly filling and you get a good amount. As an fyi, they add the 18% service charge to your bill.

    I came back to Chica for another work get together and unfortunately the grilled beef did not hit like they did before. They used to be super juicy and tender, but many of the meats were dry and the portions seemed much smaller. Pretty disappointing....

    Claire G.

    Wow. I didn't know what to expect but our dinner was so delicious! We were a large party, 2 tables of 11 each. We had to load up before we enjoy No Doubt at The Sphere (connected to The Venetian). Right when we walked to our tables, we were greeted with a choice of cocktails. The service was top notch. The dishes, spectacular! They asked about allergies and they made sure I had empanadas without shrimp. The elote dessert was do creative. Inside, strawberry. Heavenly! I will definitely be back!

    Chips and salsa
    Tori N.

    If you like a Mexican brunch, this is a good place for you. We did the bottomless margaritas for $40 per person and those drinks were strong but not too strong that you couldn't drink them. The strawberry and mango are a little bit sweet, so be prepared for that. The vibe was awesome, there was a DJ on Saturday afternoon playing all the good songs that you'd hope for. We split the chips and salsa, I got the paisa bowl, and my friend got the birria tacos. Everything was delicious. You can't mix and match taco types, but it's three tacos per order. Our waiter was really nice, he gave us great recommendations for activities to do around the city. Overall a great brunch experience.

    Himachi
    Mitzy M.

    SO GOOD! Favorite spot of the day , hands down. What a great way to end our day trip to Vegas! We started with two appetizers which were more on an amuse bouche. Small in size but packed with flavor. The Himachi? We could've eaten ten of them. Deeeelicious. The main course came out while I stepped away for a few minutes so I missed the fire show, but got to see it when another table got it later. 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'm so glad we circled back and got it, cause it was fan freakin tastic Service also was amazing - our server was so patient and kind

    A group of us was looking for breakfast near our hotel and were very happy to find CHICA located inside the hotel! The food and ambiance were both great, and we all left happy and full. The menu wasn't huge, but still had a good variety of sweet and savory options, as well as bigger and lighter bites. I got the California breakfast burrito and we got the Pistachio French toast sticks for the table to share. The Pistachio French toast sticks were so unbelievably good. I tend to prefer savory over sweet breakfast items, but this was a must! I especially liked that even though the restaurant was right next to the casino floor, you couldn't smell the smoke at all! They were also happy to hold our suitcases at the host stand for us, which was nice to not have to worry about during the meal. I arrived early to get a table and we had a short wait while they got a table ready for us. Service was friendly and quick. It was pretty quiet and we had our section of the restaurant to ourselves.

    GRILLED BEEF EMPANADAS
    Marissa M.

    I came here a couple days ago on a short trip girls trip to Vegas. On the way up we came across this place and opted to try it so we made a reservation for 6:15. I was a little disappointed when I didn't see the octopus on the menu that I saw on Yelp... but once we ordered, I was far from disappointed!! Miranda our server was phenomenal!! As were all of the bussers. Always filling up our water. We ordered the birria cheese empanadas, Wood-Fired Meat Parrillada and the flaming skull lava cake...OMG SO FREAKIN GOOD!!! We loved it ALL! The platter was perfect for 3 hungry ladies that had just drove up from San Diego, haha! The empanadas were some of the smallest but yummiest, the meat platter was AMAZING!! I loved the steak with chimichurri and the ribs were my favs!! I want to come back to Vegas just for this place! Would love to try their octopus if they have it on the menu again :)

    She N.

    Delicious and stellar! Came here for date night. The service is fantastic! Our table was a bit wobbly and they moved us to a more comfortable table. The manager even checked in with us throughout the night. She poured us water and at the end of the night gave her recommendations for dessert. I even saw her clearing tables and checking in at other tables. I think this speaks volumes! For apps, you should definitely try the mixed seafood ceviche. It was light, fresh, acidic, and slightly lemony. For mains, my husband had ribs. He said they were soft, flavorful, and the meat fell off the bone. I had the scallops and they were cooked to perfection. The dulce leche cake was very memorable! Not too dense and sweet. All around, a perfect meal. Thank you Chica for the memorable experience!

    Hi Stephen! Unfortunately, we do not validate parking for The Venetian or Palazzo parking garages.

    Do they have a private room that can accommodate up to 30 guests?

    Yes they do. I had a vendor take my and my group to this restaurant and they had a large space that fit roughly that amount of people for a nice meal.

    It's inside the Venetian Hotel and Casino

    Are there seats big enough for a party of 4-5, and is it kid friendly?

    Do they still serve a Cuban sandwich for brunch?

    Mostly Latin inspired and yes people dance. The staff actually dances throughout the restaurant carrying sparklers

    Are reservations needed/necessary here?

    Yes.. walkings may take time

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

    Are bottomless mimosas avaliable on the weekends and does anyone know if the mimosas are premixed?

    No bottomless mimosas and they're made to order no premix
