I went yesterday with my nieces and my mom, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. If you grew up watching El Chavo del Ocho, this place is pure nostalgia. Every detail of the restaurant is beautifully recreated, and it truly feels like you've stepped into the show. Even the waitstaff are dressed as the characters, which makes the experience even more fun and authentic. The food was outstanding! We ordered the molcajete, carnitas, carne asada, and a torta, and every single dish was delicious. The meat was incredibly juicy, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell they take pride in both the quality of the food and the presentation. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was unforgettable, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Whether you're a fan of El Chavo del Ocho or just looking for amazing Mexican food, I highly recommend La Vecindad. We'll definitely be back! read more

This is our Mexican spot when we are around the Strip. So, I blew it this time. I took a lovely photo of our drinks with the chips and salsa. I had the carnitas taco plate and he had the chicken quesadilla. OMG! Nom nom nom!!! It smelled so good. My next thought was to take a video of the fajita cart as it passed by, but my hands were full of taco. I have no food picture or video just the drinks. THAT is a testament to how good it is. You forget the phone. The service is good and fast. Everyone checks on you. Good tejano music. Nice volume to allow for conversation between bites. Next time pictures. I promise! read more

I really wanted to like this place because it's such a nostalgic concept, especially if you grew up watching El Chavo del Ocho. Unfortunately, the food was a huge disappointment. It was honestly some of the blandest Mexican food I've had, and nothing we ordered really stood out. It also felt a bit like a tourist trap. A simple frozen margarita was around $20, and the menu seemed pretty limited. I've since heard they're mostly known for their giant tortas, so maybe that's what they're best at. The service was fine, but the overall ambiance felt a little off. There was also a noticeable smell throughout the restaurant that made it seem like there might be plumbing issues. Sadly, the nostalgia wasn't enough to make up for the food, and I don't see myself coming back. read more

This restaurant was recommended to me several weeks back and I finally had the opportunity to visit. I ordered the Mole Poblano with Dark brown, sweet mole sauce served over chicken with rice, beans, and tortillas. The chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The rice was delicious as were the beans. However, the mole sauce lacked serious flavor and was neither sweet nor spicy. Mole Pablano is one of my favorite dishes and one I often order and unfortunately this dish fell well short of my expectation. This restaurant is very popular and is loved by many. Its authentic design resembles restaurants often seen in Mexico. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and very attentive throughout my meal, which was appreciated. read more

Cute place with El Chavo theme all over the restaurant. Service was good. Got the asada nachos as an appetizer and they were the best thing i ate there. I got the carnitas plate. Came with 3 tortillas. I feel like it was missing a side of salsa. The agua frescas are delicious. I would go again for the nachos if im ever in town again. read more

Sunday around 4pm the place wasn't as busy as it normally is. It was our first time and we had great service. I wanted a cantarito and it turned out to be extra large. I had a mini torta with French fries and it was outstanding. We ordered the breaded shrimp for my toddler and my husband got flautas, everything was so good we almost finished everything on the plate. Authentic cooking in a cool theme chavo del ocho place. I want to go back for a torta de jamón and to try whatever comes out in a cart and makes an ambulance sound, so fun! read more

My children took me out to La Vecindad. They said they had been there and the food was good and good prices and they weren't wrong. We went on a super busy night and I the staff seemed a little overwhelmed. We ordered an appetizer that didn't arrive until after we were done with our dinner. They had also made the dinner plates with some lacking items that normally come with it and they forgot a drink we ordered till we were about half way done with dinner. I do think this place has some good food and good pieces but I'd advise going on a night they aren't that busy read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND to all my Mexicanos outside of NV. Food was delicious, made fresh and has homemade taste. Ambience is fun and nostalgic for anyone who grew up watching El Chavo. Love how the employees dress as one of the characters from the show. Service was on point. A lot of photo op opportunities. Dessert was superb and definitely worth the drive from Cali. read more

We visited with family and overall had been enjoying our time until we were getting ready to leave. My underage daughter had ordered a virgin piña colada, and since she didn't finish it, we asked for a to-go cup. The waiter initially told us we couldn't take alcohol to go, and I politely explained that it was a virgin drink with no alcohol. Instead of simply acknowledging the misunderstanding, he responded by saying, "Who's a virgin?" in a sarcastic manner. I immediately responded, "What do you mean, who's a virgin?" because I was confused and annoyed by the comment. Rather than moving on, he later came back after another employee had already brought us the to-go cup, placed something in front of my underage daughter, and said, "Here for the virgin." I do not understand why he thought it was appropriate to make comments with a double meaning about an underage child in front of her, our friends, and other guests dining around us. What made it worse was that he continued making those comments instead of realizing they were inappropriate and moving on. We did speak with who we believed was the manager. At the time, he acted like he understood our concern and said he would take care of it right away. However, we were also dealing with the check and the tip being added to the bill, and after that conversation we never received an apology or any acknowledgment that the situation had been addressed. It felt like our concerns were dismissed and that the seriousness of what happened went over his head. The food was not the best, and even without this situation, I personally would not choose to return. After this experience, I definitely would not come back. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and reminds staff to keep interactions professional and to be mindful of their words, especially when children are present. read more

My husband and I had an excellent experience at La Vecindad in Las Vegas. The atmosphere is vibrant, colorful, and full of authentic Mexican charm. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and really makes you feel like you're in a traditional Mexican neighborhood. We ordered the Chilaquiles Poblanos, Queso Fundido Toluqueño, Papa Flautas, and Mexican sodas. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The queso fundido arrived sizzling hot and was absolutely delicious. The chilaquiles had the perfect balance of flavor and texture, and the papa flautas were crispy and satisfying. The service by Chino was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. It's easy to see why they've won multiple "Best of Las Vegas" awards. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend La Vecindad Pico de Gallo to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food and a great dining experience in Las Vegas read more

We had been wanting to try La Vecindad for quite some time during our visits to Las Vegas, and we finally made it in. Right away, we were impressed with the décor. If you're familiar with El Chavo del Ocho, you'll absolutely love this place. There's so much themed décor that really makes you feel like you've stepped onto a scene from the show. Food-wise, based on what we ordered, I'd rate it about a 7/10. I ordered the chilaquiles verdes. While the salsa had good flavor, it was a bit heavy on the onion for my taste. The plate also came with a side salad that took up a large portion of the dish, which felt unnecessary for a breakfast plate. About 30% of my plate was chilaquiles, while the rest was beans, rice, salad, and two eggs. My boyfriend ordered the chicken milanesa torta, and he loved it. The chicken was juicy, the cheese was perfectly melted, and it all came together really well with the bread. We also ordered chicken taquitos. They were good, but once again, the plate was very heavy on lettuce. Lettuce was placed on top of the taquitos and also served as a side salad, which felt a bit excessive. On a positive note, the aguas frescas are natural. The tamarindo was perfect, and the café de olla was honestly one of the best I've had. Our service was amazing and our server was very attentive. We didn't wait long to be seated and food didn't take too long to come out. Overall, great ambiance and solid drinks, with some dishes hitting better than others. read more

Tucked away in a quiet shopping center just off the Las Vegas Strip, this restaurant feels like stepping into the Vecindad (Neighborhood) of the famous Mexican tv show El Chavo del Ocho. The nostalgic décor starts at the entrance and continues throughout the entire space. I placed an order to go, staff was attentive and food was good. Will have to return and try other dishes. Prices were very reasonable, especially compared to what you'd find on the Strip. read more

Located off the Las Vegas strip, in a quiet shopping mall, this restaurant takes you back in time with their nostalgic decor. It's decorated from the outside to the inside. The food tasted very authentic. Mexican food, just like many other cultures, has their differences but you definitely know whether it's authentic or not. We were taken alway with their cafe de olla (a Mexican style coffee made with coffee, spices, and raw sugar). It had the right balance of spice and sugar. No need to add anything. Our servers were very attentive to us and other tables. They made sure everything was delivered with care and consistently asked if we needed anything else. Prices are very reasonable and far less than those prices you'd see on the strip. We would definitely come here again. read more

Located in the Commercial center right off the strip. You find this Mexican theme restaurant. I got there about 11am when they open and there was 26 parties in front of me. Cool I'll wait. When you first walk in your transported into a Mexican comic story, which is kind of cool. All the servers were dressed in character. Live music, playing in a great Field, and vibe throughout the places decorated to a T with antiquities of the show. Now to the food, the chips were OK, but they're Salsa was delicious We got the meatballs Soup, which was good. Very very large. Serve to perfection. And that Chilaquiles, which were very good. The star of the day were the refried beans. Best Ive possibly ever had. Takeaway: Great customer service Cool place to get a different experience. Food is 4/5 The experience however makes this a place you have to visit especially if your a fan of Chavo de Ocho. read more

We elected to come here since my group grew up watching El Chavo del Ocho. We got there and there was a long wait, so we cent to their cantina right across the street. The hard part is timing- if you get drinks at the cantina and they text you that your table is ready you have to chug your drink past and get to the actual restaurant, which happened to us. We were told it would be 25 minutes and a few minutes in they told us our table was ready. Or table had just gotten their drinks. 8 minutes passed and we got a text saying we no longer were going to get our table. Two of us decided to head over there to explain the situation. We get there and are told that they have been waiting for us and to get in now, so we text the entire group to hurry up and get to the restaurant. Once everyone got there everything else ran smoothly, no issues, the staff was nice, there was a mariachi band planting, the restaurant looked like the show. The coolest part was the owners son was our server and he told us the story of his parents opening the restaurant. Both the cantina and restaurant were so cool! I have already recommended this restaurant to my parents! I forgot to mention the food, I'm vegan and they had vegetarian enchiladas with rice and beans, you just have to all without cheese if you want vegan. read more

To come here is to relive a childhood that quite honestly I miss. La Vecindad is way more than just a 'mexican restaurant'. Its a ode to our innocence, laughter, good times. On a recent trip to Las Vegas one of my best friends asked me, do you want to eat mexican and I ws honestly not sold. He did however tell me we were going to a super special place and he DELIVERED. We ordered a Torta (OF COURSE!) and some aguas frescas which were soooooo delicious. The staff wasnt that quick, and my friend did get a bit annoyed, but the overall experience was sooooo great. Prices were fair and the best thing? THE DECOR! This place is a homage to La Vecindad del Chavo. What a trip down memory lane this was. Loved every moment and will go back next time I visit Vegas read more

Been wanting to come here for a while now. So glad I came here with my mom. La Vecindad took me back to my childhood waking up and watching "El Chavo del 8." This place did an amazing job reliving my childhood. This place is exactly like El Chavo del 8. Staff is dressed as the characters. Which is really cute they did that. When we sat down the server gave us the menu for food and a small one for drinks. Also, another staff member with a camara came to our table and asked us if we would like to take pictures. We agreed to take pictures and at the end they gave us like a postcard with our picture. which is a nice souvenir to keep. Let's get to the important stuff now. What we ordered: - Agua fresca: we ordered the cucumber agua fresca, it was delicious. We also ordered the jamaica flavor with tequila. it was fire! 5/5 - torta del chavo 4/5. it was a big portion easily you can share it with 3-4 people. -queso fundido with chorizo. 4/5, really good queso fundido with homemade tortillas. Overall, we had a great experince, good food, and great customer service. read more

When in Vegas, we like to veer off the Strip and explore the local flavors Sin City has to offer. That's how we stumbled across La Vecindad. Note: there are two locations within walking distance of each other, and I'll review each one separately. This particular location is a charming, Chavo del Ocho-themed restaurant, complete with staff dressed as the show's beloved characters. I was impressed by the colorful décor and the fun, immersive vibe. Spanish music played in the background--loud enough to set the mood but not so loud that you couldn't hold a conversation. Overall, the atmosphere was lively and well done. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the appeal of the setting. The menu includes tortas, tacos, fajitas, huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, and more. I ordered the flauta plate. The portion was generous, but instead of the traditional shredded beef or chicken, the flautas were filled with what tasted like chicken fajitas, rolled up and deep-fried. They were okay--definitely needed a good soak in salsa and sour cream to bring out flavor. The rice and beans were average. My husband ordered the red chilaquiles, but they came smothered in a mole sauce--something he hadn't expected or enjoyed. As for drinks, they were surprisingly expensive: $15 for a Bloody Mary. Typically, prices are lower off the Strip, so it felt like they were capitalizing on the novelty and theme to mark things up. If you're a die-hard Chavo del Ocho or La Chilindrina fan, this place is definitely worth a visit for the nostalgia and atmosphere. Otherwise, I'd recommend checking out their bar location instead--see my next review for those details. Written from a Texan POV. read more

Si estás buscando una experiencia que vaya más allá de los típicos tacos, La Vecindad es una parada obligatoria. Desde que entras, la decoración inspirada en El Chavo del Ocho te saca una sonrisa, pero es la comida la que te hace querer volver. ​Lo que probé: La Torta Super Cubana ¡Simplemente espectacular! No es una torta cualquiera, es un "monumento". El pan (telera) estaba perfectamente tostado y crujiente, y el relleno es generoso a más no poder: milanesa, pierna, jamón y ese toque de aguacate fresco que lo amarra todo. Es enorme, así que si no vienes con mucha hambre, ¡mejor compártela! Neli. Su atención fue impecable: súper amable. read more

Hidden gem! Do not be fooled by the location. They are a hidden gem. A 21+ location for the young at heart. We stopped by on a Sunday and it was pretty empty, but they had a great musician performing (I believe his name was Christian) We ordered the street tacos, mini torta (definitely NOT mini) and margaritas. The food came out quickly and that was wonderful because we were so hungry. The complimentary chips and salsa were really good and the food was also tasty. The decor and theme were on point and our server was great. I highly recommend! read more

2nd time here, because it was just that good the 1st time. And this time didn't disappoint either. The food is so good. The meat was juice and flavor was amazing. Rice and bean were yum. Homemade tortillas were great too. Very authentic. Perfectly priced. Service was great. They had someone singing Spanish song and they sounded great. Honestly the place made me feel like I was a kid again hanging out in Mexico. I made me feel warm inside. They made it fun. This place gets crowded so theres a wait but you can tell the staff is hustling and making sure everyone is getting taken care of. You can sense the team effort, especially when the manager was trying to help her team also. Definitely a must try if you haven't been. read more

Today as it was Mother's Day, the wait was an hour for me! I usually get in fast but today I waited 1 hour to get a table for 4. The food was wonderful as always. I got the chicken mole and my favorite cafe de la olla...the best cafe in Las Vegas!!! A lot of new faces working here now. I got used the the exceptional customer service the old crew had but maybe as I visit more often, this new crew will excel in customer service as well. Oh by the way, it was free mimosa for Mother's Day! The waiter forgot to mention it, I noticed other women with mimosas so I asked them about it since normally I never have seen so many mimosas when I dine in. They apologized for not offering one and they gave us two :) read more
