The best tacos!!!!!!!! Went for happy hour with my friends on a Wednesday. The restaurant has a happy hour special on 818 tequila margaritas for $8.18. I tried 2 of the margaritas and had the Build Your Own - Taco Supreme. The meal comes with so many toppings and the beef was so flavorful. The service was absolutely amazing. I was able to make a reservation online days in advance. The vibes and aesthetic were just so amazing.

Crunchy's

While staying at MGM went down to Diablo's. The menu is pretty small. Not a lot of options. I got the steak. Server said it's kinda small but comes with peppers and some onions. So I ordered that and the crunchy's app. The steak was small like she said and it came with 2 small peppers. The steak was not really seasoned at all. So kinda bland. The crunchy's app is their version of chips and salsa and guac. One of the salsas was pretty good. The other not so much. Strange orange goop. Over all the meal was $47. Not really worth it unfortunately.

Mocktail

Came here on a Thursday night which was so much fun. They have salsa and bachata lessons every Thursday by a great instructor. This a place to meet people and dance all night. The vibes are great! The outside is very pretty and they have an outside bar. The inside bar is first come first serve. The tables you would need to make a reservation. The food is pretty good and comes out really fast. The mocktails and drinks are amazing! They also have flights. We got the steak fajitas, crispy corn cakes, guac & chips. Everything was pretty delicious.

Chicken fajitas

I always come to the MGM but this is the first time I have been in here. We sat at the bar and had the best server Brian! We got margaritas and fajitas and were not disappointed. Everything was good. And the bonus was DJ 5_9 was playing music! It was definitely a vibe I want to go back to.

Drinks were great had the been there done that and the dusk to dawn and added tajin to it...so good. Not a fan of the salsa tasted like puréed tomatoes nothing else. But the chips were different but good. Whole fried tortilla shells Service was great. Waitress was very attentive and personable. We sat outside beautiful patio area.

Much better than expected based on reviews. Service was great. Sat outside in a nice evening before a show. Outdoors was lovely. Food was delicious.

Visited for their Cinco de Mayo specials the weekend prior to May 5th. Had an evening reservation. The front entry host stand was a little crowded and challenging to navigate who to speak with to enter the restaurant however since I was meeting friends who already had a table I just walked around the host stand and entered the restaurant. The restaurant is very bright, open, and spacious with several indoor and outdoor seating options. We were seated outside on the back patio. The table service was prompt and the staff was very attentive and lively to ensure we were enjoying our time at the restaurant. We ordered various appetizers to share and they were good especially the cheese bread. The noise level is moderate even with live music and a DJ playing inside we were still able to hear each other when speaking. I did not have any bar drinks or cocktails during this visit. Free parking Restaurant is located on the casino level (the first restaurant you will see on this level when entering near casino) $$

Restaurant Interior is very bright and gives a good vibe!

I had a great dining experience! The service and food were superior. The manager even took a dish off the bill because it took too long to come from the kitchen. I didn't even have to say a word and that has never happened before. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and dine here again. It is a bit of a long walk from the theater area for people with mobility issues which is a shame but other than that, I really enjoyed it and hopefully next time I can spend more time and relax and enjoy the atmosphere. I was dining here pre-theater and I couldn't get a reservation at the Asian restaurant - where I actually wanted to dine. I was lucky to get one here and they really worked with me to make sure I got out of there in time to make my show at the in-house theater.

Went for dinner with a few friends around Cinco de Mayo. When we got there, we learned that they very recently (as in a few days before) changed the menu to be more tapas style for more of a lounge type of feel. I was so disappointed. I've been here a few times before and was looking forward to tacos and nachos! The food was pretty good -- we tried most of the menu items between the five of us. The drinks were great. We were seated in the outdoor area on some couches around a coffee table. The bar and regular seating area were still available and there didn't seem to be much traffic (which honestly should have been a sign because anytime I've been before, it's been busy.) Not what I expected and I really think changing up the menu was not the best idea!

TACOS

Fantastic spot to take a break from the gaming tables. The tacos are the bomb. I had the beef, chicken tacos. The servicebis great, and they manage the crowd with front door staff. The food was well presented and quite tasty. Of course I am biased because I am a frequent flyer. The night we arrived they had a DJ because some was celebrating their B Day. Open dance floor if you are so inclined. The crowd was lively but pleasant. Great drinks at a reasonable cost....come one come all and bring an appetite and vibe to the music.

"Our server, Rachel was excellent! She helped us celebrate my grandson's 18th birthday! Diablo's should be thankful for such a friendly and professional employee representing your brand!"

Urbano 116 came through for an unexpected Thursday night out at the end of our walk…read more We grabbed a table outside, and even though it was pretty busy, the service never skipped a beat. Our server was quick, friendly, and kept things moving without making us feel rushed. They actually have a true happy hour menu. Not one of those "$1 off" situations, but legit deals across both food and drinks. Everything we ordered hit. The margaritas were refreshing, well-balanced (not overly sweet), and definitely did the job. For food, we kept it classic. The tacos were simple but flavorful, with tender, well-seasoned meat and fresh toppings that didn't overpower anything. The nachos were good but in my opinion, the portion size wasn't worth $11. Everything tasted fresh and came out hot, which I always appreciate, especially during a busy service. The vibe outside really pulled it all together. It's one of those spots that feels lively without being chaotic...perfect for catching up, people-watching, or just unwinding after a long day. You can tell it's a go-to neighborhood spot for a reason. I'd definitely come back--especially for another round of margaritas and to try more of the menu.

I'm challenged by this review. The Restaurant space is quite unique in old town with it's decor and…read morecuisine compared to the restaurants around it on King Street. The background noise is pretty high. That said, I'm challenged in writing a glowing review. Last two times that I have went there (most recently last weekend) the food was underwhelming. I've not ever had fajitas where green peppers weren't included in the dish, except this last visit. To the waiter's credit, he pointed out that they were not included on the menu; I am still surprised. If you are planning to eat at this restaurant at peak dinner time, have a reservation because that's the only way you're getting a booth
