I'm so sad to hear that this place is closing. The food here is amazing and the service is even better. This is an overall fantastic restaurant. We had a few appetizers and they were all phenomenal. The breakfast burrito was tasty and had all the great toppings/dips that came with it. They also have amazing chips and salsa to start your meal! The restaurant is gorgeous. Great decor, a fun atmosphere, and both indoor and outdoor seating. I have to reiterate how amazing the service was too. Everyone is so friendly and overly helpful. If you have a chance to come here before they close, please do! read more

Stopped by Leoncito before they permanently closed soooo sad about this, we had the best margaritas at the bar -- they were excellent. Well-balanced, not overly sweet, and clearly made with quality ingredients. You could tell real care went into their cocktails. The vibe was lively yet comfortable, and the service was friendly and efficient. Even though I didn't try the food, the drinks alone left a great impression. Hoping they reopen soon OR put another great restaurant here because I'd absolutely come back..thats too bad they are now closed. read more

Located inside. The Red rock casino is a casual fabulous Mexican restaurant, offering one of the largest selections of tequila. We sat at the bar and we quickly greeted. Service was friendly, fast, and informative. I was surprised at how good. The food actually was as I walked in with lower expectations. Definitely a place I would return we went in for a quick snack. Got the chicken quesadilla, which was delicious and a three taco plate. The corn tortillas were made fresh All the food was full of flavor, hot and tasty . read more

Beware--the guacamole and the red salsa are highly addictive! I could not stop eating them...despite very clearly being full! Also, the guacamole has dairy in it so bring your lactaid pills if needed. I ordered the shrimp fajitas and I needed them to be just a bit more cooked, and they were able to do that for me no problem. They were delicious! Our server was great and very friendly. The vibes were chill but very classy chill. It opens up to outside and the outside patio sort of just merges into the inside. It's very nice. Very demur read more

First dining experience at Leoncito's located in the Red Rocks. Usually, I'm not a fan of dining inside a casino, but this one is located outside of the strip perimeter. Enjoyed a quiet dinner with cocktails to start with your choice of libation to pair with margaritas, coupled with enchiladas verde chicken and beef, shared entree, street tacos - sweet and savory mix, house chips and guacamole (one can consume more than their fair share), and dessert. Prices were a bit high, with our bill totaling $175 for two cocktails and family style meal for two - yes two! Meal was fine, service great, ambience nice - but priced - high. read more

I am very sad to hear that Leoncito is going to be closing. This is my go-to spot when guests come to visit me. They hit happy hour out of the park and the ambiance is on point for having an after-work yap and enjoying a great specialty taco selection. The servers and bartenders are always very attentive, keep our drinks coming and our water glasses full. I am hoping whatever is next for this spot is as good as Leoncito is. I guess I better squeeze in a few more visits before it closes down on the 28th. read more

Absolutely loved this spot inside Red Rock Casino! It has such a great modern vibe with a Spanish flair--the atmosphere is stylish and lively, perfect for a night out. The service was excellent, and the food was just as impressive. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. They also have really fun drink options, which made the experience even better-Love the oversized options! A great bonus--if you're celebrating a birthday, they actually let you bring your own cake, which is such a nice touch. Definitely a great place for a fun dinner, special occasion, or just a great meal! Highly recommend! read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how good & authentic the food here was. Most of the time you go to "Mexican" restaurants and it's just tacos & enchiladas completely over seasoned with garlic and onion, but this place really hit the mark on Mexican American food. Can't wait to go back. read more

Finally had the chance to experience Leoncito during happy hour and it did not disappoint. Delicious chips and salsa, margaritas and tacos. No negative feedback here. Also got the Caesar Salad on the happy hour. It was a bit more vinegary than a normal Caesar dressing but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Food and drinks came out quickly and the ambiance inside makes it feel like you're in Tulum. read more

I would highly recommend going to Leoncito for excellent food, service and ambiance. They are located with in the Red Rock Resort. This allows guests and locals the ability to enjoy this great place. They have a great food and bar menu. The ambiance is dim lite and relaxing. Almost a Habana feel to it. If you have not been here you will truly enjoy the warm delicious chips along with their salsa. One bowl is simply not enough, we kept eating them so flavorful. The cocktails were with a mixology twist and delicious. The main course was Fajita's were out of this world. I strong recommend Leoncito to any couple or family out there! read more

Came in for lunch on a Tuesday. Made a reservation cause you never know but it was pretty empty. We were seated right away. The interior is beautiful. Feels very tropical and outdoorsy. Our server was Sam and she was great. Very friendly and on top of things. I ordered a Little lion which is mezcal with fruit juices and it was awesome. I could drink a lot of those! We ordered Guacamole to go along with the required chips and salsa. Our chips seemed to be a little stale but Sam replaced them quickly and we dug into the 2 salsa (red and green) and the guacamole. It was all very good. Guac was fresh and very tasty I had the sweet potato taco which comes with rice and beans and I ordered a side of street corn. Sam asked if I was vegan and I said no, she explained the beans had some meat in them. Way to look out! I just really like sweet potatoes and wanted to try something different. The tacos were amazing, sweet potato diced up and cooked with brown butter and a hint of cinnamon coming through. Not something I would usually order but was feeling adventurous. Rice was good, light not clumpy like a lot of Mexican places where it seems the rice has been on for a week. Beans were great, not refried but like a stew with a smoky flavor. Really delicious. Street corn was excellent, off the cob and very tasty. Some places make it a little tangy or heavy on the lime but it was sweet here and that's how I like it. Service was great, food was great and the location is pretty inside. Can't wait to come back and bring the wife! S read more

I was very impressed with this restaurant. It was Mexican food, but elevated. I wish I had the appetite for the table-side, watermelon infused vodka drink, but I'll definitely be back to try it. Our waitress mentioned that it would be quite filling for two people, so we decided to hold off. We definitely appreciated her honesty. They did have a drink called the Leoncito, and it was AMAZING. Highly recommend if you like flavorful drinks that are a little sweet and refreshing, but don't taste like syrup. I had it with vodka and it was perfect. You could choose which alcohol to have it with. For Food, I got their Camerones dish, and it was also bold and flavorful. Everything I had wasn't overwhelmingly heavy, but had great flavor to it. Shoutout to the manager. I believe his name was Mark, and he was SO nice and helpful! The ambience was very romantic and sexy. Great place for a date night! Overall, everyone was very nice, the food was great, and we had a great time! read more

Nice ambiance. We came with a party of 6 for the $55 Family Style Dinner. You get every item on the menu. We had plenty of food, so it was worth it. We had a few servers, and they were very attentive. I had a non-alcoholic guava lemonade. The flavor was very strong and tart, and I was not a fan. Everything on the menu was delicious, but I wasn't a fan of the watermelon tostada or the chicken fajitas. The presentation of the chicken fajitas was nice as it came out sizzling, but it was very dry. I would come back again to participate on the $55 Family Style Dinner again. read more

Located inside Red Rock Casino. I would recommend going because of its ambience, looks and vibes. The food was good, not the best enchiladas but good enough!

Went here on NYE and it was delightful! Zero complaints! Sangria was strong and had a cinnamon flavor which was unexpected. Guac was so fresh and great, especially for not being table side, and the pickled onions were a perk. Even the salsas were great! Enchiladas Verde were very mild and flavorful, and packed with chicken. Ordered the street corn as a side and it was probably my favorite thing! So fresh and well balanced. Bunuelos were fluffy and crisp at the same time. And our waitress was just the sweetest, I didn't catch her name which is disappointing because I would love to give her a shoutout, but she's from north England, about 3 hours from Scotland and she was so attentive, sweet and just a great vibe. Only mild complaint is how dark it was, but they turned the lights up...I think the GM was walking around and saw how dark it was and rectified it. When I sat down I had to use my phone to see the menu. It was abnormally dark. 10/10 would go again! read more

Came here with 2 friends for dinner on a Thursday night and we were a little disappointed. It's newer and had been kinda buzzy, so we were excited to give it a try! You can see it from right outside the Red Rock, so it's very easy to get to once you are inside. First, the service was wonderful! We really liked our waiter, he was very nice and attentive. The restaurant is also beautiful! Decor is nice and setup worked, it was also pretty empty when we came which was very nice. Part of me is wondering if this is what saves it because to me the food is not worth coming back for. The food was the down side for all 3 of us at dinner. We ordered quite a few things for the table, 2 cocktails each, and our own entrees. In all, I tried the horchata cocktail, guac, the table salsa, street corn, flan, and shrimp enchiladas. The only thing that felt like it was seasoned at least a bit was the guac. None of the salsas were spicy which was odd for having a red and green option. The street corn and the enchiladas were so bland, the tortillas were also very wet from the liquid of the fajitas all sitting on 1 plate. You also get a tiny spoonfull of pico to go with the tacos. None of us liked our meals that much. The cocktails were really good, and again the guac was bomb. The flan was also very nice. Compared to some other friends who went and loved it, if you are someone who typically seasons your food, you might not like it here. We spent $100 each on everything and we absolutely did not think it was worth it. Wanted to love it, but I will not be going back. read more

Had a friend in town and we stopped at Leoncito in the Red Rock Casino. Parking was plentiful and there was immediate seating. We were surprised to learn that they have all day happy hour from 4-6pm. We went on a Saturday so we decided to sit at the bar and try it out. Note: you can also order off the entire menu but we decided to try the happy hour items. Humberto helped us and was pretty friendly and eager to answer our questions. We had the chicken quesadillas, chicken taco, beef taco, and two orders of flautas. The portions were definitely on the smaller end. The taste was just okay. Keep in mind that Leoncito participates in 1/2 point dining for mygeneration card holders on Wednesdays. read more

We really enjoyed our experience at Leoncito for weekend brunch. The ambiance is extremely modern and inviting and the server was incredible. I tried the carne asada Fajitas and there were delivered sizzling hot and fresh. The bottomless margaritas are nice and big and not too sweet. I tried 4 of their flavors (mango, prickly pear, hibiscus, and classic) and they were all really good. Highly recommend. read more

Sat at the bar during happy hour and had great service from the bartender! My fiancé started with the El Leonicto which is huge and delicious made with guava and he picked tequila. I had a Gran Siesta made with their house-made horchata. Both Delicious! For food we ordered the queso fundido which was amazing with fresh tortillas and the happy hour tacos, also tasty. It's in the casino with outside dining options. The cig smoke was pretty intense so we sat as far away from the casino doors as possible. Really cutely decorated. read more

Leoncito - This Jeffery, our server! - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Great Mexican food restaurant to meet up with some friends. I have been here twice now and the service has been excellent. Having a dairy allergy, I tend to order the tacos every time. The rice that comes with the tacos plate has butter in it, so I generally get a double order of the frijoles con chorizo that are so delicious. For the shrimp tacos, the macho mayo has butter in it. This is the first time I have come across butter in mayonnaise, but I was told it is because they make it in house. However, the homemade mango habanero salsa adds the perfect spicy flavor that makes the tacos phenomenal. The batter on the shrimp also had to be removed because of the dairy. When all was stripped down and simplified because of the "no dairy thing," all was still tasty and enjoyable. I also tried the beef barbacoa tacos and a spicy pineapple mocktail. I really liked the portion sizes of all of the dishes. I left there feeling content and not bloated. The layout of the restaurant is reasonably spacious and has a very modern upbeat vibe to it. This place will definitely be my go to pick for future brunch meet ups with friends. read more

This was my 4th visit to Leoncito. Time for an update. The menu is small, missing some of the dishes you would expect to see on a Tex Mex restaurant menu. I have found new things to try and have not been disappointed. In this case, I got three tacos--you can mix and match if you want. That's what I did when my server told me you could. I ordered a barbacoa, chicken tinga, and carnitas tacos. The carnitas comes with a crispy taco--the other two were served on soft tacos. As a side, I got the street corn. I asked about the size of the side and my server, Moises, assured me one person could eat it. In a short time, a runner came with my corn and tacos. Nicely plated with the ingredients on top, I enjoyed each one. The variety made the dinner so much better and having one in a crispy taco was good. I could not recommend one over the other, but I liked the zing in the carnitas. Service was very good. I was brought a second iced tea without asking. I have been seated in each section of the restaurant and I have no preference. It's a pleasant atmosphere. Moises was a great help with guidance on the size of the street corn and the mix and match of the tacos. There will be a return visit. read more

We love to come here for drinks. The margaritas are amazing, especially the spicy one. My wife doesn't like tequila, and they make hers with gin. The cocktails are definitely the highlight here, and they have a good happy hour where drinks are $10. The food is decent, but I haven't found anything really good. I think it is best to stick with the drinks here. read more

I visited about a year ago and did not enjoy. I figured I would give it another shot. I love how beautiful it is inside and relaxed. I sat at the bar instead of the high top. I had the same bartender as I had last visit and he was great! The food has definitely improved since last visit, although the menu is a tad smaller. I ordered the Chardonnay off the happy hour, the glasses were kinda smaller than you are used to, so I had to get a couple I ordered the watermelon tostada which I did not like. It was very very sweet and the they prepare it to make the watermelon look like raw meat. So I mentioned it to the other bartender and she removed it which was nice. I ordered 3 tacos and they were so good. The chips and the salsa is one of the best I've had in a while. The chips are nice and thin. To end, I also got the chocolate torte with ice cream and it was delicious. Will def return, glad I gave it another shot. read more

Been here twice with fairly large parties. In order of what I most liked to least liked: - Mole poblano (not pictured): Super juicy chicken with great flavors. This was so good that I shockingly enjoyed it over their steak offerings below - Sweet potato tacos (not pictured): Very unique, and liked them more than the traditional meat tacos which were good but not any more memorable than most other dine-in restaurant tacos - Street corn: Highly recommended, but best shared between no more than 3-4 people - Queso fundido: Also highly recommended - Chips and salsa: Default starter for the table that you don't have to order. Chips were really good with good texture and seasoning; salsa was on the wetter side but really flavorful as well - Guacamole (not pictured): Super good, definitely worthwhile to get with their chips - Chopped salad (not pictured): Liked the variety of vegetables, and dressing was good - Chicken/carne asada tacos (not pictured): As mentioned above, just ok - Bone-in rib eye al pastor: Meat was seasoned well, and loved the inclusion of the bone marrow. I always appreciate pineapples as well. However, while all the components were individually great, the dish as a whole didn't feel cohesive. As a large platter, it came with several sides but a disproportionately small amount of rice and beans. Not that anything else on the menu is priced reasonably, but this one was particularly not worth it - Ceviche: Flavor was ok, but brutally small portion relative to chips provided - Watermelon tostada: Not impressive, and done better elsewhere in town Service has been consistently great. Ambient lighting is aggressively dark at night, which might be the vibe for some people but also undermines food presentation. Overall, there's a few dishes I wouldn't mind coming back for if it weren't for the prices, which are much too high for what you're getting, and somehow even more inflated than Strip pricing. read more

I've sat at the bar and the dining tables which are both great experiences. The clay walls and pottery helps add to this experience as well. We ordered a michelada, queso fundido, Baja fish taco, beef barbacoa taco and a carnitas taco. A michelada always tastes good with Mexican food and this one packs a lot of flavor. They also served us warm chips and salsa while waiting for our it meal which was addicting. If you love cheese then get the queso fundido for sure. The main reason I come here is mainly for the carnitas tacos. It's a crunchy taco and something about it just makes me want it more. I'd say the barbacoa taco is defent 2nd after carnitas. The Baja fish didn't have the crunch I was expecting from a fried fish so I'd avoid it. read more

Staying at the red rock resort and decided to try this restaurant. So first of all it's not authentic Mexican cuisine but still tasty. The restaurant in itself is clean and super modern and sleek overall such cute decor. The food we had ordered the queso fundido it was small and not good. The food my niece has nachos and was huge. I had the chicken tacos it was ok. My mother had the best plate which was the carnitas tacos. The only reason I am giving this place a higher grading was because our server Danielle was AMAZING!!! She was very attentive despite it being super pack and nice and patient when we asked a lot of questions even gave my mom great recommendations. Shoutout to Danielle! read more

We have heard little about this place so we were unsure of how we were gonna feel about this, but after this experience we fell in love! The place is modern but authentic as well. It had a good blend of both vibes enough at this place that worked well as it felt very inviting. Service was friendly and accommodating to any needs you may have yet also wanted to make sure you are taken care of during your meal. Honestly, both drinks and the food were great! The margaritas, regular and prickly pear, were delicious! It didn't feel too artificial and had a good balance of alcohol along with the flavoring of the drink. All the food was delicious! I cannot say enough good things about the tacos with the freshness, crema, and texture of each of them. The quesadilla and chips and salsa were also tasty as well.
