Nutella strawberry crepe Seemed like a strawberry preserve filling
Aliyah W.

This place has a wide variety of options on the menu. I got a Nutella strawberry crepe, which was enjoyable and crispy hashbrowns which were very crispy. Just how I like them. It was great service. I walked in and placed the order and it didn't take long. Seems like a very family, friendly ambience to grab a meal.

Menudo 11.09.25
Mr. Juan D.

I saved this place on Instagram years ago and finally got the chance to try it while visiting Vegas. I know Ely's has multiple locations, but this one had the best reviews--so we went for it. I ordered the menudo and my friend got the waffle combo. We got our food to go, and even though the place was busy when we arrived, service was fast, friendly, and on point. Thankfully, there wasn't a line (even though I saw in the comments it can get packed), so we got lucky. Our order was ready in about 10 minutes. The menudo was absolutely worth it--rich flavor, great portion, and exactly what I was hoping for. Coming from Sacramento, this spot definitely lived up to the hype. My friend really liked the waffle combo too; solid all around. If you're in Vegas and looking for a good breakfast spot, especially if you're craving menudo, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Ely's was suggested to us by some friends. This place is not fancy at all. It is a very comfortable down home sort of spot. I feel like this is a place that mostly locals know and not so much the tourist. They have Menudo on the weekends. They have almonds of all kinds. They have lots of different kinds of pancakes with all different amazing kinds of toppings. They also have steak and eggs. Really, you can't go wrong eating any of the entrées here. Everything looks so good. The servers were very polite. The restaurant was clean. They were very patient with our group as well as we were a slightly large one and had a lot of different orders being put in. It was a really nice pleasant breakfast there. And I love all the little breakfast decorations on the walls. Super cute.

Ely's on Trop had that fire menudo!! No hominy, and we would have LOVED some hominy in it BUT otherwise it was fire!! The cafe de Olla was on point too!! Great customer service!!

Carne Asada Chilaquiles with green sauce
Noah T.

Located on Tropicana and Eastern right next to Aladdin supermarket you'll find this amazing little gem. We arrived about 8:05 AM were greeted promptly as a nice hometown ambience field to it. But the food speaks for itself the Chilaquiles were made to perfection with two eggs and Carne Asada and green sauce would definitely go back highly recommend and the waffle wasn't bad either lol

Chicken tenders
Tito R.

This food is made with love. We came here on our way home from Las Vegas and we sat there and talked about how much it reminded us of family gatherings. The service is beyond amazing. And the restaurant feels like home. The chef deserves a Michelin star and their own show on food network!!!! Beautiful food and beautiful place.

Free refills
Britany G.

The staff is extremely nice there's so many options so this is a perfect place for family because there's something for everyone here with that being said because there's so many options they're not specialize in anything so their food is just average it's not bad but it's not the best. That is why I'm giving it three stars just because the food is not the best tasting. But the prices are really good considering the portions, I did like their Tamarindo drink and their milkshake however their lemonades are just lemon with syrup and it just takes very artificial. So I was not the biggest fan the day that we went it was super busy but we got in super fast the staff is truly amazing I would definitely come here again but it wouldn't be my first pick

Ambience was great Server was amazing on top of everything and gave us great recommendations Food was delish So many great options with amazing prices

Menudo
Diane W.

Finally stopped by here for all the Social Media hype I've seen. This is a good place, lots of options on the menu, we'll have to go back to try more of the menu, since there are so many options. We ordered the Ely's Mega Plate, it came with bacon cheese fries, buffalo chicken tenders and a bacon cheeseburger. The fries were really good, the burger was cooked well, the tenders were a little vinegary, but all in all alot of food. The steak chilaquiles were good, but the chile verde sauce was a bit too much regarding the lemon taste and I like lemons, but just too much, the meal was good and again, lots of food, and then we ordered the menudo, the part I really liked was they ask you if you want hominy or not, I'm a hominy person, so we ordered the medium size, wish they had the option of a cup, but the menudo was delicious, definitely I'll order this again. So, all together, our takeaway was we will be back to try the rest of their menu and the menudo is a return for item :) Their pancakes and waffles all looked really good and as long as the food continues on the positive trajectory, we'll be back for their vast options!!

Complimentary chips
Viviana R.

Our server was amazing. He was on top of everything and it felt like he res our minds. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches and they were delicious. The best item was their Abuelitas French toast. The portion was great and it was very flavorful. I'd come back just for the french toast and cafe de olla

Mexi Omelette
Natasha M.

I love Elys. Doesn't matter which location we go to either the one here or the one in Green Valley both phenomenal and both offered the same things. When we came here, we decided to go to the location closer to my dad's so we came to this one. The server was really nice and joked around with us and was really just a good time. Overall his energy was really nice and that's what I like to see in someone in the service industry. He gets a five stars just for being him. The restaurant is small and quaint. It's not overly large or overly decorated. It's kind of like a home cozy feeling. I always get the Menudo here. It is my favorite thing. Honestly, the best Menudo that we probably have in Las Vegas aside from my dad's, but that's a Personal bias. My boyfriend got the Chilaquiles this time. He's a little more adventurous, but he says everything that he's tried on the menu is really good, but he loved the Chilaquiles. We will absolutely be back.

Asada chilaquiles bowl
Emmalee W.

Stopped by Ely's for post Saturday night recovery fuel. It was 5 minutes away from our AirBnb. Oscar, our server and the cook, was great. We could tell he was handling things solo for the most part. We weren't in a hurry so the wait, which wasn't super long, didn't bother us. I had the asada chilaquiles bowl with red and green salsa while my friend had the Mexi-burrito with potatoes. After Oscar took our orders, the food arrived pretty quickly. The chilaquiles were sooo good! I was really happy with my choice and felt revitalized after my meal. Oscar was very thoughtful and put the cilantro and onions on the side because he realized I wasn't asked if I wanted cilantro and onions on the chilaquiles. (I did. The thought and care here is what got me. Top notch service. ) My friend said the burrito was very tasty and it was large enough to have leftovers. I tried the breakfast potatoes that came with the burrito and they were cooked perfectly! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. We both agreed Ely's is a solid choice for breakfast. If you're in a hurry, it may be better to call in your order and pick it up. But if you have the time to sit and relax, I highly recommend Ely's. Next time I visit I will try the menudo or pozole. I heard these were great also. I also enjoyed the music that was playing in the restaurant. Thanks again Oscar! See you next time!

Chorizo Cheese Burger
Ligia D.

Only one thing went bad during our experience but everything else was great that's why still gave 4 stars. First time trying this place. My brother raves about it. I ordered some blueberry French toast and a grilled cheese. My wife tried the chorizo burger and love the complementary chips and salsa they give in the beginning. Waitress was polite, fast, and helpful deciding what to get. Space was good size loved our booth. Comfy and table spacing was good. Also they have tvs on so can enjoy watching something while there. On sad thing my blueberries were bad. The compote on it tasted moldy. Wish it wasn't was wanting to eat them all instead I set the blueberries aside and just ate it with syrup.

Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like battered chicken that would cross contaminate foods like gluten free home fries? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

This is a local, popular and dependable bbq joint. Their 2 meat plate portions are shareable…read more Blueberry chicken sliders are their special treat. Sauces are flavorful but not overwhelming salty or spicy. You have to adjust that for yourself. They seem to have more side selections, too. Beers and cocktails galore. Iced water is served in large plastic cups. Never ran out of water! Large parking lot. Indoor and outside patio seating. Friendly service. Clean kitchen. (Looked in while passing the kitchen to go to the toilet.) Lots of TV's to watch current games.

Usually it's just to fly out of Las Vegas for a work trip. This time though, I was in area for the US Post office. Looking for nearby places to eat, I saw that Smoke & Fire was only 10 minutes away! My husband and I stopped by for dinner around 3:30 P.M on a Friday at Smoke & Fire. The restaurant is located near South Pecos Road and East Russell Road. There was plenty of parking spots available. As I walked inside the restaurant, a team member had greeted us and let us know that it was open seating. There were only a few other customers inside the restaurant at the time we had dinner. There was plenty of tables inside and outside the restaurant though! TVs were situated throughout the restaurant. There was a variety of sports games playing. When we sat at our table, the team member brought over menus and asked if we'd like anything to drink while we looked through the menu. She also went through any dietary restrictions and some of their highlights at the restaurant, specifically, Smoke & Fire is known for their blueberry chicken sandwich. There are other options on their menu though, like BBQ items! Meat platters: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, Brisket, Smoked Ribs, Hot Links, smoked Chicken Quarters. Sandwiches: Chicken Sandwiches, Brisket Sandwich, Donut Smashed Burger (Seasonal), Sliders Chicken and Waffles, Street Style Tacos, Chicken Tenders and more! After looking through the menu, we ultimately decided on the following 3 Meat Platter: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, and Brisket with Mac N Cheese/Sweet Potato Tots The World Famous Blueberry Chicken Sandwich: Pepper Jack Cheese, Housemade Blueberry Jam, blueberry aioli, and Jalapeno. The service was super quick. I don't think we waited longer than 10 minutes for our meal. It was nice that our meal was served in to go containers as well! The highlight of the meal was the blueberry chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy and tender. The blueberry aioli and the jam was scrumptious. This was a first time having a sandwich like this before! I would come back to Smoke & Fire just to get the sandwich. The BBQ pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket was good. I enjoyed the mac n cheese and the sweet potato tots though! I don't normally see sweet potato tots so I just had to try it out! They were super crispy and packed with flavor. The food was yummy here and the service was fantastic! If I'm in the area again, I would stop by Smoke & Fire to have another meal. I think next time though, I am going to have to try out their pulled pork burger!

This review is based on a first-time visit on 12/8/25. Long story short... awesome smash burgers,…read moregreat music, good vibes. - Get the Double Burger. With everything on it. Trust, they know what combo works best and they know what they're doing. - Get the Patty Fries. Go big or go home, amirite? These fries are fully loaded and delicious. - Wash it all down with a Mexican Coke. Feel the rush of real sugar. Maybe go for a little walk after, because health. - The plaza isn't the greatest looking. Don't let it discourage you. The interior is nice and bright and clean. 10/10 recommend!

I had a major craving for a smash burger and had recently seen this place on social media. So,…read moredecided to try the place out. For some reason, I thought this place was near Downtown--I thoroughly deserved being slapped with the reality of a 30 minute drive given my lack of preparation. The restaurant is out near Henderson basically, in a slightly sketchy looking area that I'm not entirely sure I'd feel comfortable venturing to at night. The staff at the restaurant seemed to all be young kids (college aged), and they were pretty nice and helpful with explaining the menu. There was no one else in the restaurant even though I came around 6pm. A single burger and side of fries cost me nearly $20 after tax and a small tip--although I don't know how I feel tipping for fast food... The fries were pretty good, the beef tallow and coarse salt were what really sold me on the fries. The sauce was also good--it's similar to what you might get at a famous chicken fingers fast food joint. Without these things, the fries looked (and tasted) like standard frozen food distributor fries. The bun was good and the patty was perfectly smashed. The onions weren't actually caramelized though. If I have to be honest, I finished the burger feeling unsatisfied. It was good enough that I considered purchasing another one...but then I remembered the price tag. (Who can afford or sensibly want to spend $10-12 on an underwhelming fast food burger in this economy?) Not worth the hype, the drive, or the money.

Can't speak to the daytime. It was on the slower side when I walked in, Sabastian was quick to greet me and hand me a menu. I LOVE a staff that knows the menu, and Sabastian is just that! I was looking at the chicharrones, he recommended the vegan ones! Said the rice paper was a nice treat. I took his recommendation and he didn't steer me wrong! I never in my life thought I'd be eating vegan chicharrones, but I keep getting up for the surprises life has to offer. Speaking of surprises, Sabastian turned me on to adding bitters to my sparkling water! Never had it that way, it's something I'll absolutely repeat. I had a few of them that night. I did a pork belly skewer. This was my least favourite thing. The pork was a bit tough/overcooked and the peanut sauce was more on the coconut side. I also did the wings. Jamaican and lemon pepper. The lemon pepper was solid, I don't do jerk but got half for woman. She said they were entirely too spicy. The adobo plate was a star! As you can probably imagine, I was starting to be full so I took it to go. Sabastian told me to overcook the meat a bit when I reheat it so the fat renders. Epic tip! It heated up wonderfully, I had some homemade peanut sauce that accompanied the dish nicely. It's pretty dark inside but has a total kitschy tiki vibe. The music was awesome! I meant to ask Sabastian if it was his playlist. It seems to be a place a lot of locals frequent. People came in that knew Sabastian and there was that Cheers feel. I would absolutely go back and try other things, apparently vegan ones too! My skewer was free so I appreciated that, excellent service, knowledgeable staff, great music! GO!

There are few places in vegas better bang for the buck. This is a hidden gem and for many locals…read morethey would like see it stay that way. Really cool nautical themed decor is everywhere giving a cool vintage vibe. Staff is always nice and fun. The crazy thing about this spot that some might consider a "dive bar" is the food. It's so much better than it should be. The steak skewers and lumpia were off the charts and cheap as hell. We sat had a couple drinks, a snack and just enjoyed the day. If you time it you will meet local industry people that will ensure you know the good and the bad of vegas. So come say hi to the real vegas and you won't be disappointed.
