Consome

This place is usually good but I'm not sure what's going on with their birria plate lately. The birria tacos have been soggy, not crispy enough and why did my consome look like they tried to stretch it with beef broth? The new cooks are cutting corners or something. What's up with that? I guess I have to find a new birria place and just stick with the chicken when I go there :(

I go here for their crispy chicken tacos whenever I want to skip cooking dinner. they are on the east side in a weird parking lot, it's a brick and mortar with a chicken rotisserie cart outside so follow the smoke. The family is very sweet and they have great recipes. We love the chicken tacos and their chicken rub, whatever the chickens are marinated with we are adddicted. Great to have something so close to home yet so far away.

3-piece chicken plate

Absolutely delicious! Everything! The chicken, the beans, the green salsa--absolutely loved it all. I will definitely go back. My only gripe is that they didn't tell me there would be an up charge for asking for 1 of the 3 pieces to be a breast. I feel like 1 of 3 is fair Loved it all!!

Whenever I drive by this place off Mountain Vista and Russell, the smell of freshly grilled chicken is almost intoxicating. This isn't your ordinary chicken shop. They have someone outside grilling the meat, and the chicken has great flavors of seasonings and char. Customer service was fair, but the tables were dirty and we had to ask the cashier to wipe the tables. She proceeded to come and spray the tables down with bleach water, and I had to move out of the way so as not to get sprayed by the mixture. There are not many decorations inside, and about 6 or 7 tables. Two 3-piece combos will set you back $24. The combos do not include a drink. Tasty chicken, beans were average and the rice was plenty flavorful, almost a chicken bouillon type seasoning. Will be back!

Quick, flavorful, family business. They grill over charcoal and have many combo plates available. Sides are typical but they have small red potatoes that are really good.

Pollos El Dorado is one of my favorite taquerias in Las Vegas. Their grilled mesquite charcoal chicken is divine, and it's my go to option whenever I'm in Henderson for the holidays and missing the authentic Southern barbecue that I grew up on in the 'Sip. Their crunchy chicken tacos are also packed with flavor and are another solid menu item. The service here is exceptional. I'm actually treated like family by at least one staff member or customer whenever I come. The restaurant is casual and unassuming and sits right on the border of Henderson and East Las Vegas.

Stepping into this little taquería feels less like entering a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home--a home where love is seasoned into every spice and memory lingers in the air like the faint smoke of roasted chiles. The aroma greets you first, warm and seductive, a mingling of charred corn tortillas, sizzling carne asada, and the citrusy brightness of freshly cut limes. It is the kind of scent that doesn't just stir hunger, but awakens nostalgia, longing, and a quiet joy. The tacos themselves arrive like small love letters, folded delicately in hand-pressed tortillas that are soft yet resilient, tender yet strong--the way love itself should be. Each bite is a harmony of textures: the crisp bite of onion, the velvet of slow-braised pork, the whisper of cilantro that lingers like a kiss at the end of a goodnight. The salsa, fiery and bold, is passion embodied--both thrilling and comforting, reminding you that love is not always gentle, but it is always alive.

Amazing service and food! I don't want to tell anyone about this place because then there's going to be long lines. A Vegas must taco shop! They treat you like family.

After hearing about Pollos El Dorado from family, we were on a hunt for some home made feel food after grocery shopping. We were down the street and decided to stop by and see what they had to offer. I wasn't expecting to wait about 20 minutes for 2 whole chickens, 16 pieces total. We decided to have a taco each while we waited and relax since we hadn't ate, and boy were we surprised. Their tacos were so good, we could have ordered more but we chose not to since we came for the chicken! The staff was nice, quick and made sure they got our order right. The cook was outside being a baddy in the heat making our chicken, and the chicken came out in the time they promised! The price is worth it, the food is fresh, the green salsa is amazing. They also have a decent variety in their menu and it should be on your list to try. Come give it a shot for dine in, or pick up, you won't be disappointed! The restaurant wasn't too busy when we walked in, but it started to get busy while we were waiting and also when we walked out. The cashier and cook in the back communicated well, the establishment was clean and so was the bathroom. It is small, but it is mighty!

I always see the smoke coming from the parking lot and think "I have to try this spot some day". This is one of those places you can tell the food is cooked with love and heart. Yummy grilled chicken with excellent service. I can see why this place has so many regulars. You're treated like family when you walk in! Affordable and quick meal. A great option for when you don't want to cook. Most people ordered their food for takeout but we actually dined in.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Pollos El Dorado is an unassuming taqueria in a nondescript plaza on eastbound Russell Ave just before Mountain Vista. I've passed by it plenty of times without stopping, so when I was asked by my friend to take him from Henderson to the airport, I saw this location in my Yelp Bookmarks and knew that it was just off the route. I went with a bunch of tacos. Most of them were $3.00, but the quesabirria was $4.50. It was certainly worth it after I noticed how airy the outer tortilla was. They did make me ladle on the onion and cilantro myself, and it was essential in adding the ubiquitous flavors. I didn't get a consomé and I didn't ask, assuming that it'd be at an additional cost. Fortunately, it wasn't especially needed. I did order one each of all of the other tacos. The tortillas were cooked enough via grilling without having been soaked in oil, which made them less greasy on the fingers. The mild tomatillo salsa was balanced and made a great complement to every protein, and the lime was sufficient even though some wedges were a little dry. Out of the meats, the pollo was a surprising favorite due to the grill flavor and the large portion. The cabeza was also great, with fatty bits and rich beefiness. The al pastor was solid for a non-pineapple style, and the buche was pretty tender. The asada was surprisingly the blandest and most boring out of their proteins. I also appreciated the service. What I assume was a father-daughter duo up front handled everything well, including making sure whether we wanted cilantro and onions on everything, refilling the empty salsa station, and assuring us that we weren't overstaying their closing time since they were still cleaning up. Pollos El Dorado is now on my list of Henderson-ish go-to taquerias after this visit. I'll be back sooner than later.

Sabe bien como siempre pero no queria créma :\ ellos estaban terminando el día así que lo entiendo

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!

The first thing I noticed was just how packed the entire Venetian area was that night! Apparently No Doubt was in town performing at Sphere, and since the Venetian parking garage is basically right next door, the whole resort had a ton of energy and nonstop foot traffic. It was definitely busy! CHICA had a really fun atmosphere. The restaurant itself feels stylish and upscale without being overly formal. The décor had this vibrant inspired energy with music, lighting, and a social vibe that works really well for group dinners or events! Since it was catered for the event, I only tried a selection of tapas, but everything I had was really good! All of the food was flavorful, well presented, and easy to share while mingling! I really enjoyed the experience! Between the Vegas energy from the Sphere crowd, the lively atmosphere inside CHICA, and the solid food, it ended up being a really fun evening during the conference trip! Definitely somewhere I'd consider coming back to for a full dinner next time I'm on the Strip.

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

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!!

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.
