Not in the greatest part of LV but for lunch why not. There was only 1 other party dinning when I arrived. Started off with ice tea which is was huge. I ordered the 2 combo tostada with octopus and crab - it was large and decent but the octopus was chopped to fine. I followed with a shrimp taco and a side of rice. The taco was ginormous and stuffed with deep fried shrimp, cabbage and a light white sauce - it was very good. The rice was also tasty and lightly flavored. The service was OK, the waitress put white sauce on my taco when I requested it on the side thankfully it was light otherwise I would have sent it back. I suggest the shrimp tacos, you can go wrong and if you eat two you'll be set.

This place was recommended to my by a friend and I must say it's authentic Mexican food. The servers here are very welcoming and really helpful with the menu. The vibe of the place is as if you are in the islands of somewhere along the coast. There's a bar and there are tv's, but the TVs by the bar are in need of an upgrade. The portions here are pretty big and you definitely get full off your plate. I got the flautas plate, it's topped with cheese and lettuce and a side of salsa verde; they offer chicken or beef so I got both. It's a plate for sharing and will fill your tummy. The drink sizes here are regular or LARGE so the large is good for sharing.

Súper Tostada

Not a fan. I had the super tostada, it was plain. The agua frescas were pretty good. As far as service, it wasn't good. The waitress got upset when we asked her to split the bill and gave us attitude saying we should have requested that before she brought the check. She even added that she was busy so she would do it whenever she got it. Rude. FYI, we only came here cus Las Islitas was extremely busy.

My beverage of choice.

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!

SO GOOD! Favorite spot of the day , hands down. What a great way to end our day trip to Vegas!…read more 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

CHICA a Latin restaurant inside the Venetian on the same first floor as the Casino floor. This…read moreplace is super nice and overall the interior is dark and dreamy. 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.

I'm very picky about Mexican food being from Phoenix and eating it at least 1-2 times a week there…read more I've tried a few other recommended Mexican restaurants and Carolinas did not disappoint!!! The salsas, guac, and their chips...out of this world flavor! Loved the tomatillo based salsa...SO good! I ordered the Cheese enchiladas as it's been years since ai had good enchiladas....ordered them with the Tinga chicken and they were amazing!!! The flavors were excellent, the cheese melted just right, and the chicken so flavorful and tender. I also ordered the Horchata hoping a praying it wasn't the watered down stuff you find everywhere....nope! It was creamy, thick but not too thick, cinnamon, rice, and I tasted a hint of a little something else...nutmeg.....surprised and blew my mind. I will most definitely be coming back here to order food again! So amazing!!!

Located off the 95/11 and Craig road, this cute little spot definitely has a lot of personality!…read more From the second we walked in we felt welcomed and relaxed. They do have chips & salsa for a charge, but the chips are excellent and the salsa is yummy. We ordered birria egg rolls and our guests got Vegan enchiladas and tacos. Holy guacamole, the food is amazing and according to the owner, all made from scratch using family recipes. We will definitely be back to check out some of their other tasty treats!
