Mexican Molcajete
Kat O.

Food was delicious and generously portioned. A bit of a hole in the wall but we will be back. Menu is in Spanish and English. Performers were available if you wanted them to sing to your table.

Great food and attentive service. We started with a couple great guacamole and chips along with a bucket of beers. The 4 of us had 3 different molcajete all of which were huge and we had a large take home box to go. The bill came to $200 for the 5 of us plus a $40 tip. We went on a week night and avoided the usual crowd with loud music and mariachi bands.

Be adventurous and get off the strip. The menu is extensive, offering a wide range of options. I am always skeptical of extensive menus. I ordered a torta and was not disappointed. Delicious, soft bread; the meat was seasoned well and very large--plenty of food for two people. I think people wouldn't give it a try because of the location. I don't see many tourists trying this place. Give it a try.

Although it's not in the best neighborhood in Las Vegas , the food was worth taking the risk for. They're known for their Molcajate, which are basically an assortment of meats and ingredients inside a stone bowl. The bowl came out piping hot and the carne asada and chicken were very juicy and flavorful. I believe they made the tortillas in house as they tasted very fresh and had a nice chew to it. I also got their margarita which had a generous amount to it and I definitely did not need seconds. The atmosphere is lively and friendly with a mariachi band playing in the background which made it even more fun. The locals here seem to enjoy it so it's definitely a good sign you should try it too!

Great service and food Minus the 1 star for ambiance. I came here for the first time ever after living in this side of town for almost my whole life. They just allow anyone's dad or uncle in here to sing songs and it was really nice until it was disturbing. 3 guys come in with a guitar and ask to sing you a song for tips and then another 3 and then another 3. It was weird and obnoxious honestly. We gave in to let one group sing a song Then they asked for a $30 tip. Odd. Solution: This place would do well with a permanent stage for performers to rotate*

Molcajete - beef, chicken, shrimp, prawns, nopales and avocado.

Decided to try this place based on the YELP REVIEWS, let me tell you! It didn't disappoint! The food was so, so delicious! They had live music and the service was good! I ordered a margarita and it was ok, not the best I've had but the molcajete was bomb! Enough for my husband and I, the portion was very large, we couldn't finish the whole thing. Definitely going back when I am back in Vegas!

The food, the service and the restaurant were all 5 stars! The restaurant was clean, warm and beautifully decorated. The chairs are comfy and tables nicely spaced. The team was super accommodating with our surprise party of 9 and super kind. They brought out a complimentary birthday shot and dessert - haven't had that in a long time! The queso dip was so yummy and filling I could have left with just that and been filled up. The steak items were cooked perfectly and the enchiladas had an aftertaste I can't place but had me going back for bite after bite!

Macho Molcajete
Estella T.

Tried this place out since we're nearby and heard great things. It's a cute restaurant. Friendly staff and food was good. We opted to share the macho molcajete. And we had a carne asada sope. There was some mariachis that came in to sing as well very festive.

Delicious molcajetes. Had a few over the years and they don't tend to disappoint. They're also fully loaded, no skimping on portion sizes.

Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

A que hora empieza el mariachi los Domingos?

We were on a date night so this was a wonderful choice. So clean and really good customer service…read more. The food was so good and well seasoned. Great variety. And the lemon drop drinks were fantastic. Shout out to the mixologist. Yes c were going back.

My family and I had an extremely uncomfortable and disappointing experience at the Pier 88 on Craig…read moreRoad in North Las Vegas. From the moment we walked in, we immediately felt unwelcome. The three young Asian women at the front were giving my family dirty looks, and their demeanor toward us made us feel like we were being judged and treated differently. The way we were looked at and spoken to made my family feel discriminated against before we had even been seated. There were six of us total, but two were our 1- and 2-year-old children who were not going to be eating. Almost immediately, we were told that an automatic 18% gratuity would be added because we had six people. We explained that two of the six were babies who weren't eating and asked why they would count toward the gratuity threshold. We were told that it did not matter whether the children ate or not and that even infants count toward the party size. I understand that Pier 88 has a policy of adding an 18% service charge for parties of six or more. What I found frustrating is that the policy simply says "parties of 6 or more," and I could not find anything explaining that infants or very young children who aren't eating are counted toward that threshold. More importantly, this wasn't just about the gratuity. It was the way we were treated from the moment we entered. There is a respectful and professional way to explain a restaurant policy to customers. Instead, the looks and attitude we received made my entire family feel uncomfortable, singled out, and unwelcome. We came in simply wanting to enjoy a meal together as a family. No customer should walk into a restaurant and immediately feel as though they're being looked down on or treated differently. Management at this location should seriously address both how this policy is communicated to families with infants and how customers are greeted and treated.

Visited here for Thursday Night Football. Sat at the bar. Fun banter with the sushi chef and…read moreservers. Three big TV's to watch game. Really like the sushi here. Haven't had the oysters. Did the sushi rice and hand rolls. Very tasty and fresh. I had a hazy IPA and a coffee stout. Both great beers. 20 taps with 10 of their own beers and 10 guest taps. Give or take. Hope to visit when I'm back in January!

I don't understand..how is this place not getting more recognition and love…read more It's in the Arts district across from the English hotel. We finally got to make are our way after some friends mentioned how much they LOVED the food. That sold us and off we went. Tucked in between buildings, kind of tricky to see there signage but you'll notice a gold sitting man statue right by the door. Good lawwwd the food here just blew us away. We had the Yellow Tail Crudo. This was refreshing, sauce was excellent and savory we remarked on perfect they had this cut it wasn't thin or overtly thick. Enough to pick up and and enjoy the bite. Crispy Rice, was hit we're suckers for this sort of dish. The small bites, tasty tuna, crispy rice and glaze is all around tasty as fu*k. Teppan Udon Noodles - I don't usually order noodles when I'm having sushi, but this dish came highly recommended by our friend. After the 1st bite we saw why. The sauce is insanely savory, a bit thick but paired so well with the dense udon noodle. If you like noodles definitely fit this one in. Negi Toro Roll - Is a stand up throw your glasses across the room good. I hate how much I loved it bc I know I'll crave it. It's not a heavy roll in fact it's so light you'll believe you can probably eat 2 or 3 more..I was told no bc I already ordered enough dishes..I did get full after scarfing eveything..but I still wanted more! Just go, gawd now I'm craving eveything again. You might find me there.

I'd been thinking about this meal since my first pan roast in June…read more I arrived at the Palace Station Casino on Saturday. We got in the Oyster Bar Line at 11:34AM. Reading previous reviews, I saw some people stating that they waited two hours so I was mentally preparing. It seemed as though there were about 15 people in front of us in line so I was hoping it would go fast. We ended up getting seated at 12:59pm. So it was about an hour and a half for us. Victoria was our server and she was on top of it! Immediately when we sat down, she handed us two sourdough bread rolls, some butter, and the menus. She asked us what we wanted to drink and my partner ordered a draft beer, whereas I just had my water from my water bottle. She then asked us if we needed some time to look at the menu or if we were ready and after an hour and a half wait, we were well prepared with what we wanted to order. We ordered a dozen of the gulf oysters, and two pan roasts. One pan roast was the combo (level 2) and the other was the palace pan roast (level 3). When both pan roasts came out they were HOT, but that was not stopping us from shoving every bite of deliciousness into our mouths. Having had the palace pan roast in the past, and now trying the combo pan roast, I really did enjoy the combo better because I'm more of a seafood person. My partner had the palace pan roast for the first time and he instantly understood why I was raving about it for months. There's just something about the tomatoey, creamy, bisque like consistency mixed with some white rice that I just can't describe other than perfect. This is what you dream about on a cold fall day. I've personally always enjoyed the level 2 spice level, because I don't find it to be spicy or painful at all, but the man in front of us in line said he prefers 5. I like that you're able to customize it because everyone has a different spice tolerance and what everyone finds enjoyable is subjective per person. My partner and I ended up ordering an extra side of rice when it became apparent that the one side each would not be enough for us. He loves his rice, and I only take nibbles, so he usually eats mine. However, for this meal, I was not sharing my rice, so he had to order another side. Overall- highly recommend. The food is well worth the wait. After being in line for an hour and a half it's hard to be grumpy when the service is so efficient & friendly and the food taste this good.

I finally tried the Oyster Bar, and even on a Monday there was a line. I waited about 25 minutes…read more Like everyone says, there really isn't much seating. It's literally a bar, but it's a pretty cool setup. I ordered a Paloma and it was really, really good. Service was okay, especially considering how busy they were and the limited seating. One thing I appreciated was that even with people waiting, they didn't make us feel rushed to eat and get out. Now the food? Straight BOMB. I'm used to ordering seafood gumbo or a pan roast with lobster and having to search for the actual seafood. Not here! They give you big, beautiful pieces of seafood, and the portions are huge. We made the mistake of ordering our own instead of paying attention to the people around us because we definitely could've shared. And a warning about the oysters: they are HUMONGOUS. Seriously, keep that in mind when deciding how many to order. Between the generous portions, quality seafood, and that Paloma, I can definitely see why there's always a line. Four stars for me!
