    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

    Vibes, delicious food and warm hospitality! You get it all at Leoncito! From the table salsa and chips to the specialty cocktails, it's well thought out and creative. We came in on a random Tuesday afternoon and it made our family errands day so special! I love it. I cannot wait to try more dishes from the menu!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Leoncito it's also with Belles and Venice beach an elephant at Santa Monica . The food was good. I highly recommend that if you're coming with your friend or lover wonderful happy hour drink strong drinks wonderful service good ambience. Parking it's easy to find honestly unless you wanna be under the garage plenty of it.

    Camarones
    Michelle K.

    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!

    Chicken fajitas as part of the $55 Family Dinner deal
    Faye I.

    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.

    Enchiladas
    Lucy M.

    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! The two cocktails I had were good too and fairly priced. Seems like a good restaurant for larger groups but also intimate. Our server was really good but unfortunately i cant remember his name now.

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!

Between the music, crowd, and fire performances, it really feels like a full experience and not just dinner. I will say, when we first arrived the front dining room surrounded by candles was VERY warm. I asked if they could lower the AC because while I totally understand the ambiance they're going for, once everyone starts eating and drinking it gets hot fast. They were very accommodating and did lower it a bit, which we appreciated. I also loved that they start you off with pico de gallo and chips for the table, and when we asked for more they happily brought extra. Such a small thing but it made the experience feel really welcoming and generous. For food, we ordered the truffle quesadilla, street corn, and the Chicken Parm Mexicana. The truffle quesadilla was SO good and packed with flavor from the mushrooms, truffle oil, and cheese. The street corn was delicious too, and the Chicken Parm Mexicana was such a fun twist on a classic. Crispy chicken, flavorful sauce, and perfectly melted Chihuahua cheese. For drinks, I had the Toca Margarita and loved it. Super fresh and well balanced. Service was great throughout the night and the atmosphere made it such a fun place for our group dinner before the No Doubt concert at the Sphere. Would absolutely come back on another Vegas trip!!
