Huge burritos here!
Diana R.

Breakfast burritos served all day, right next to Target?! Yes please! I've been shopping at this Target for years, never ventured around the corner till today and so glad I did! Found this cute dine-in or take-out restaurant that serves delicious, huge burritos (among many other yummy looking meals). Very courteous, helpful gentleman took my order and also seemed to be the host, server, and maybe even other roles. Plenty of parking, convenient location. Will be back for sure!

Combo plate with two shredded beef and a carne asada taco.

I'm always on the lookout for authentic Mexican food. We visit Vegas 2-3 times a year and this was our first time here. It definitely will be on our favorites from now to eternity. I loved the homey and cozy decor. Being from California, we know what good Mexican food is all about and have high expectations. I ordered the Chile verde wet burrito and my husband ordered a combo plate with a carne asada taco and enchiladas. He loved his plate but we both agreed that my burrito was the star of the show! Such a perfect blend of spice, fluffy rice, beans all wrapped in a homemade tortilla. Homemade chips and salsa to start also were wonderful. Pure perfection! Service was friendly and made us feel welcome. We are even stopping back in on our way home to try the breakfast. Don't overlook this gem!

Shrimp Diablo! (Best I ever had!)
Joyce W.

This is what I envisioned an authentic Mexican restaurant to be. Very friendly lady server. All the patrons on my visit were speaking Spanish. Most dishes may be on the spicier side but they do have more milder plates, just ask if you are sensitive to spice-heat. I had the best shrimp Diablo ever. So much plump, large and clean shrimp. The sauce was so flavorful and so warming. Even the refried beans were perfect. No complimentary chips but they do have corn and flour tortilla choices included with most plates. They even have an array of "hotter" salsas on request. Of course one can buy chips. Everything, even the mini salad sliced right then. There is a difference of freshness, flavor and hospitality here.

After enjoying a show at the Clark County Library, my friends and I were looking for a place nearby to eat. Restaurant El Rey was literally just a few minutes away, so we decided to eat there. First of all, the place isn't much on the outside; you could easily miss it if you aren't actively looking for it. But once you're inside, it's actually quite lovely! The decor is lively and colorful and makes you feel completely energized, welcomed, and ready to enjoy your meal there. We were quickly helped when we walked in, and our server was very welcoming and congenial. She seated us and got us our menus. Once we were ready to order, she took the time to answer a question to help me choose between two menu options. Prices were reasonable. After we all ordered, the food came out pretty quickly. And it was delicious! My shrimp burrito (I have never had a shrimp burrito in my entire life, so it was something new and interesting to try) was so good! It was flavorful with plenty of juicy, seasoned shrimp and yummy vegetables prepared to perfection. Unfortunately, I ended up overeating even though I brought half my burrito to-go because I seriously couldn't stop eating it and ended up finishing it in the car, lol! My friends' dishes also looked really yummy. If you're looking for a tasty place to eat that's close to Clark County Library, Restaurant El Rey is a great choice if you're craving some really good Mexican food!

A hidden gem in the middle of paradise! Service and food were excellent! May not be the fanciest place in town but sure is friendly and has a family atmosphere, so groups and families are welcome. Their Mexican food menu is extensive, I recommend that you take your time in ordering so you can ensure your eyes meet your palate desires. Thank you very much for the great personal service you rendered!

Back again for the second time. This time, I ordered a burrito with al pastor. Oh man it was so yummy and it was a lot of food too. I ordered Jamaica drink with it. I really enjoy this place. Such a colorful and nice vibe. Food is so good!!!!!! Just come try!!

Carne asada taco
Sonja Sky G.

This place is becoming my favorite spots in town. I love dipping my head in after being at UNLV all day. I always get the combo 6 but I do think about trying other things. I'm just to lazy to try something new and usually when I go I'm starving for enchiladas. The lady in the front is always nice. I love they give you a lot of rice and beans. The inside is so cozy and authentic. I just love this place.

Chilaquiles Rojos Con Huevo with meat added.

The food was okay, not what I expected! Not authentic at all, they don't have salsa and chips just not what I expected after reading reviews. The service was good just not good. Don't order a coffee it's just instant not good!

Seriously, you can't go wrong with anything you order. And don't let the long lines scare you! The service is super quick, so you're not waiting nearly as long as you might expect. I also got their grilled onions and peppers, and that little extra kick took everything to another level. If you're coming to Vegas and want a cheap, filling meal, this is definitely a spot to add to your list. And honestly, one vampiro taco and you will be STUFFED! The hype is real. Definitely worth the stop!

It seemed a little confusing at first, but they clearly have it worked out to a science and everything moves pretty quickly. The homemade corn tortillas were probably one of my favorite parts. The steak and pork tacos were both excellent and definitely my favorites. The chorizo was okay, but I'd probably skip it next time and get another steak or pork instead. Overall, the tacos were delicious and we were really pleased with the experience. It's a fun place and a little different from your typical taco shop. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in Vegas.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with an atmosphere that's full of nostalgia and heart,…read moreLa Vecindad Mexican Restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we felt like we had stepped into the world of the beloved classic Mexican television show El Chavo del 8. The décor perfectly captures the charm and warmth of "la vecindad," making it a fun experience for both adults who grew up watching the show and younger generations experiencing it for the first time. The food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared with authentic Mexican flavors that truly stood out. The drinks were just as impressive--refreshing, expertly made, and the perfect complement to our meal. What really made our visit special was the incredible service. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making us feel like family from start to finish. The restaurant also has a wonderful family-friendly atmosphere where everyone can relax, laugh, and enjoy a great meal together. La Vecindad isn't just a place to eat--it's an experience filled with delicious food, amazing drinks, exceptional service, and a nostalgic tribute to El Chavo del 8 that brings smiles to every table. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Mexican cuisine and a memorable dining experience. Five stars all the way!

After my spectacular first meal at Toca Madera, I had to schedule a return, which I did Friday…read moreevening. This time my daughter and niece joined me. I was excited to dine in the main dining room rather than at my bar-area table from Wednesday. Travis, our server, was fantastic, just like Mariah on my first visit. I will say, it seemed even louder in the main dining room. The electronic dance music soundtrack makes you feel like you're dining in a hot dance club. Definitely not the place for a quiet dinner, but it's all part of the Toca Madera experience. We started with the Watermelon and Passion Fruit Margaritas. Both superb. For a starter, we ordered the Queso Fundido. It arrived at the table like molten lava, so we had to give it a few minutes before diving in. Once we did, it was incredible. For our entrees and sides, we had the Petite Filet and Seared Scallops. Both were awesome. We also ordered the Street Corn, which I had loved so much on Wednesday, and the Whipped Potatoes. The potatoes, with a little jalapeño oil and lime salt, were insanely good. During dinner, Travis treated our table to Toca Madera's fire shots. They arrive in tall shot glasses topped with a seasoned lime slice and sugar cube, which is then lit on fire tableside. It's quite the presentation and fits this restaurant perfectly. Apparently we made a good impression on management, because dessert turned into an event of its own. We were treated to a huge platter featuring the Brownie Celebration along with the Strawberry Tres Leches and Brown Butter Cake. It was quite a finish to the meal. As great as my Wednesday dinner was, Friday night was even better. And this time we had a ringside seat for Toca Madera's female fire performer, who came out at 7:30 and again at 8:30. Watching her perform just a few feet from our table was amazing and really capped off the evening. Two visits in three days. That probably tells you everything you need to know about how much I enjoyed Toca Madera.
