Still coming here a year later the food is still Delicious I'm glad it's more busier in there then when I was first coming More people need to know about this place it's delicious

Food is good small portions though, Service is horrible you ask for anything they forget literally and put on the bill and you have to tell them you never received it. They get the order wrong at times as well.

Interior
Mike C.

It's the Mexican restaurant you wish you had back home! Upscale interior plus modern fresh ingredients and high quality furnishings and service. I saw lots of people doing business here in Spanish at lunchtime. It's right near the airport. Menu is diverse and generous. Get in now before people "figure it out!"

Camaron Zarandeado Botana Picanta

My friend and I were looking for a Monday lunch spot, and when I said I was craving Mexican food she immediately told me, "I'm taking you to Picanta Mexican Kitchen." It ended up being about a 30-minute drive -- and absolutely worth every single red light on the way there. Yes, it's in a strip mall and the exterior is a little dated, but don't let that fool you, the inside is bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. Such a cute surprise once you walk in. I started with the Jamaica Morita to drink (not picture, too delicious I forgot to take a photo) and it was so refreshing, just the right balance of sweet and tangy. For an appetizer, we shared the Camarón Zarandeado Botana Picanta. First time trying it and now I'm hooked, it's officially my new go-to starter. For my main, I ordered the Mole Enchiladas and WOW... the flavor was bold in the best way possible. The portion was generous (3 enchiladas!) so I even had leftovers for later. I'm already planning my next trip back!

Love coming to eat here. Food is always tasty and never disappoints. Ambience is always great! Everyone is always friendly.

Ceviche
Kobi G.

Game with my wife and my daughter's to try a new style Mexican food. The place is very clean with modern design, The service was very fast and efficient and the food came out in less than 15 minutes! The ceviche came even faster... and it was delicious, authentic flavor as Mexican food with homemade tortillas and great Mexican salsa. Long story short, we will definitely come back because we love it

Plátanos Flameados

Here comes another hidden Las Vegas gem just a few steps from the bus stop at Algonquin & Flamingo. Mom and I stopped at Picanta after her morning physical therapy session, because our lead therapist's wife is a native of Mexico, and he proclaimed this place to be both authentically tasty, and tastefully authentic. And we weren't disappointed. The friendly murmur of the place is decidedly Spanish on the whole, so those who speak the language of the cuisine sound like they are well represented... always a good sign for an establishment that trades on its ethnic authenticity. And yet, the music selections are decidedly the kind of neo-funky disco house crossovers that are cast from an updated Donna Summers mold, so the overall tone here is just a little bit clubby... a welcome departure from the greatest hits of some anonymous mariachi band. The chips, and salsa are a cut above the typical in that they were both obviously house made by a cheffing staff that takes care for all the little details. The namesake picanta in salsa is perfectly balanced, so that the taste profile on the front end is both broad, and bold, while the spiciness rises up on the back end of the bite to flood the pallet with the heat it has been expecting. But the pique doesn't last any longer than the start of the next bite... so the flavor can just keep on coming. I was encouraged to see Mole on the menu along with other traditional Tex-Mex favorites, and some offerings that you might find both on the streets, and in the upscale bistros in Mexico City. As for drinks, and desserts, the upscale authenticity keeps on rolling. The US Open tennis crowd will be encouraged by the offerings of Palomas, Aperol Spritzes, and the fruity things that mimic a Deuce cup. My Paloma was both astringently refreshing, and mildly intoxicating, just as it should be. Mom, and I split the Pollo Mole which had just the right amount of cocoa & chile to make it mole, but no so much that it drowned out the other flavors that make mole a smoky good treat. It came with a stock infused rice, and a lightly fatted refried bean offering on the side which was just enough to complement to generous portion of mole on the plate. There was probably enough there to split among three, which is awesome for the $18 price point it carries. As for the deserts menu... there is enough variety, and uniqueness there to make coming back the main reason for the trip. And since this is a neighborhood place with a uniquely variegated main menu to boot, I'm sure we'll make the brief journey many times in the future. This time we had the plátanos flameados, which sadly do not come out flaming, but still taste wonderfully caramelized by the flames that cooked in their sauce in the pan. When we do come back for more, I'll update you in the pix section... and maybe Mom & I will see you here one of those times, too! ¡Desfrute!

This place is hidden gem! We've been for brunch twice and loved it. It's a newer restaurant so be sure to visit! Staff seems family oriented like the owners are operators, so it's nice to support a local small business. They did move from Mexico so you are getting some really good flavors and dishes. The enchiladas are flavorful and the verde sauce is amazing. We haven't had a bad dish yet, it's all so fresh and the meats are tender and well prepared. The vibe is fun and it makes you feel like you're not in a strip mall in LV lol. Parking is good. Seems there is a patio but no furniture, perhaps in Winter/Fall - I hope so!

Queso fundido
Marliz G.

Let's start this off with the reason I sought this restaurant out. We drove out of our way for their chilaquiles rellenos. And I was very disappointed when they got my order wrong, I had ordered the chilaquiles rellenos divorciados with steak. And was disappointed when I got regular chilaquiles. My husband ordered chilaquiles rellenos suizos with pork belly. As a starter we ordered queso fundido. Although I was disappointed with my order, I did mention it to the server and asked for them to take them off my bill, didn't want to pay for something I didn't get, which they were polite about and so was I. I made the best out of this and just ate what they brought, couldn't wait around for them to make a new dish. We are locals, so we had quite a drive ahead of us. Now I'm very picky when it comes to Mexican food. My mother was a very good cook and I loved all of her cooking, so unless it surpasses her cooking I'm not going to be very impressed with the food. So it wasn't like my mother's home cooking, but it came close. So I wasn't too disappointed. The place looked clean, it wasn't too noisy. They had music playing in the background. So it was a nice experience with good food. All in all delightful.

Tacos de camarón enchilado con pulpo (special request)
Cindy R.

We always come for the chilaquiles because their sauce options are amazing but this time we tried their see food and I have no words.. the pulpo zarandeado, the camarones roca (in the picture) and ceviche Tropicana with mango, OMG! Do yourself a favor and order these!! 10/10

This restaurant was delicious. We were a party of 7 and each got a different plate, each one was beautiful and tasty. Such fresh and gourmet food. Great customer service. 10/10. Highly recommended.

Carajillo
Yesenia P.

Absolutely recommend! Especially if you have people in your group that only speak Spanish. My parents were able to ask questions and order for themselves! The plates were all delicious and the service was amazing! 20/10 We got: Cielo Mar Y Tierra, 10/10 3 Baja's tacos 10/10 3 Quesabirrias 10/10 Fajitas 10/10 Carajillo 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND Moon milk 10/10 perfect for lavender lovers Matcha was on the sweeter side

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

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!
