Located just steps from the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort, Sonrisa Grill is definitely a popular dinner spot in MonteLago Village. We arrived around 7pm on a Saturday and were quoted about a 45-minute wait for a table, but luckily the bar was open. We grabbed seats at the end of a long table, which eventually turned into a fun little communal setup as the night went on. First up--a strawberry daiquiri, and honestly, one of the best we've ever had! You could actually taste the strawberries, and it was SO refreshing on a hot summer night. They also had a DJ playing a mix of 90s R&B, Latin dance/reggaeton and throwback party music along with the music videos. Total old-school MTV vibes, and we loved it. We ordered the carne asada tacos with chips and salsa. The salsa had a little kick without setting your mouth on fire, and the tacos were delicious. The restaurant overlooks the water and has a large patio that would be perfect once the weather cools down. Our bartenders/servers were fun, attentive and added to the experience. Definitely recommend Sonrisa if you're visiting Lake Las Vegas! My only suggestion: boost that AC or add a few more fans. It was WARM in there and we were definitely sweating by the end of dinner. Great food, drinks, music and atmosphere--an easy 5 stars from us! read more

So I happen to be in Lake Las Vegas touring some homes. To further familiarize ourselves with the area we decided to do a quick walk through of the village. Being as it was over 110 degrees we had to decide fast. We first stopped at Mimi's and looked at their menu, but their salads were over $60 so we quickly moved onto Sonrisa. We were destroyed by the sun and dying of thirst. Neither the waitress, hostess or food server got us any water for a good 5 mins. This is only noteworthy because the majority of the businesses here seem to get very little business (judging by all the spaces for lease and lack of foot traffic), so they should be MUCH more attentive to customers when they get them. The waitress finally got us our water, she had a small wedding party to attend to, so she gets a pass. But the others clearly could have given her an assist. I've worked in a restaurant and the best ones are when they work as a team with one common goal and help each other out. After that we got our orders in. I asked if the tacos were crispy or street tacos and she said "semi crisp". I've never heard this description before at a Mexican restaurant, it's either Dorado or soft. But what she meant was that they were crispy, just not out of the box, pan fried with some chew still. Which is great that's how I make it and like it. This brief interaction with the restaurant, combined with being located in somewhat of a "touristy" type location, had my expectations fairly low. But to our surprise, everyone really liked what they got. One thing that was really apparent was the abundance of protein in the beef tacos, carne asada burrito and fish tacos -- packed with meat. The beans had really good, rich, lardy flavor. I knew they'd be heavy and they were, but tasted great. The portions weren't huge but just enough, and I'm glad they weren't because you always leave a Mexican restaurant too full when you order combo plates. So heavy on the meat and light on the rice and beans, was surprisingly the way to go. I'm fairly certain the chips were made in house, didn't seem like any store bought ones I've ever had. The salsa had an initial marinara taste to it, but then the slight heat legitimized it. I always tell people I always prefer my Mexican food to "3 star" level -- simple, no frills, authentic. I don't want elevated, fusion, fancy presentation, etc. and Sonrisa really delivered on that. I'm not in Lake Las Vegas very often, but I would definitely come back here whenever I do. I hope they succeed as a business but need to step up the awareness of the staff to ensure it. read more

Disappointing to say the least. We visited on a Monday around noon. We were starving and Sonrisa Grill sounded like a great idea since my hubby and I LOVE Mexican food. Upon walking in, it took a while for the hostess/server to seat us. Soon after being seated a young man came to drop off our drinks and chips and salsa. First off, I can judge by the chips and salsa if the place is going to be good or not. The chips tasted store bought and the salsa was way too spicy. I ordered the fish tacos with rice and beans and hubby ordered chicken quesadilla with rice and beans. Mind you, he did not order a side of hair to go with his rice!!!! It was a long black hair intertwined with his rice, so gross. When we alerted the server, she apologized and asked if my hubby wanted a fresh meal. Being that my hubby is diabetic and needed to eat he said yes. At that point I was already disappointed with my fish tacos, and the unseasoned rice and beans and disgusted with the hair in his food, I stopped eating. He got his new meal and he let me taste his chicken quesadilla....that was the saving grace of this whole experience. The ambiance was nice but I wish the food would have matched with the atmosphere. One would think that with hair in your food, you would receive something complimentary or a discount or a manager to come out and apologize and offer a coupon or something for what happened. I usually give places a benefit of the doubt and would give another chance but I can honestly say this would not be the case here. I will not be back here. I hate leaving a bad review but I have to be honest. read more

Quality/Quantity - Our friend just moved to Virginia and he says there are not enough good Mexican restaurants there, so here we are. One of his favorite Mexican restaurants. He got his usual Shrimp Chimichanga - Good as usual. My wife and I shared a Chicken and Beef Fajita - As light eaters, we did NOT want to over eat like yesterday's lunch. The fajita was okay; I had to order an extra serving of flour tortillas but that took forever to get to our table. I guess it was made to order...? Ambiance - Decent size location. Two floors. Indoor and outdoor seating. Bar seating, etc. Plenty of mall parking. Live music; see their website. Open 7 days a week from 11am or 11:30am to 9pm or 10pm. Service - Okay. Started off very good, but then we had to wait for an extra order of tortillas. We waited so long that everyone else finished their meal.... Price - $56 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success. read more

Omg this place is so good!! The melted queso dip and chips was a huge hit at the table, we couldn't stop eating it! The margaritas were delicious and refreshing on this hot day! All the servers, food runners and bartenders were awesome today! They handled big party's and all tables with professionalism and kindness. My carne asada tacos were incredible! I finished literally everything on my plate which is rare most days. I was obsessed with the green sauce that came with my friends flautas, I'm going to ask for that every-time I order something here moving forward! read more

It was my second time there as we were in the village at Lake Las Vegas for the farmers market. We made the decision to sit outside and eat which I won't recommend doing so during the day as it was quite humid outside We ordered the burrito and it came with rice and beans which was I was pleasantly surprised. We also ordered the chicken enchiladas that were also served with rice and beans. We were also served chips and salsa which the salsa was amazing that had a lot of good flavor and it wasn't too hot. The chicken enchiladas were incredible. The chicken on the inside was delicious. The enchiladas were also stuffed very generously and the sauce was not too spicy. I really loved that the dishes were also put in the oven so the cheese was melted with a little bit of a crust. The staff was extremely friendly and they kept our water glasses full at all times. read more

Stopped by Sonrisa Grill while at Lake Las Vegas and honestly this place is all about the vibe. The patio overlooking the village and lake makes it such a relaxing spot, especially around sunset. Chips and salsa came out fresh, margaritas were solid, and the service was super friendly and attentive the whole time. Food was flavorful with big portions, and the live music added a fun atmosphere without being overwhelming. Definitely a great place to hang out, have drinks, and enjoy the scenery. Will be back for sure! read more

Great service, very accommodating and pleasant staff, unique location and reasonable pricing. We had a tostada salad, coctel del camerones, cucumber martini and a Michelada. Great spot for tequila tasting, and, vegetarian friendly, we've been here when a DJ is playing outside. (TBH the hot uneven walk from parking was tough on our older friend as parking isn't nearby.) read more

Great lunch over at Sonrisa Grill! It may have been one of the highlights of our Vegas trip. Arrived for lunch on a weekday for a big party of 8. We had no reservation, but the crew were able to accommodate us super quickly. I love a great customer experience, so I was impressed. Thanks to John and the team for making this easy. For drinks, I got the jalapeno margarita and shared a shot with my sister in law. Both were great! For food, we shared the tortillas with soup and the Skirt Steak a la Tampiqueña and both were too good! First of all, I'm a major fan creamy tortilla soup. It's mega comforting and perfect for this time of year. The skirt steak was delicious! It had smothered onions in a cream sauce on top accompanied with an enchilada. Loved it! Nice times were had over at Sonrisa Grill! It was nice to hang out with family in a great environment. read more

Love the view and patio seating, our waitress was nice and accommodating. There was a bit of a wait but there was an event going on so it was fine. The food was okay, my drink looked amazing but didn't have much mango flavor as it was a mango margarita.. my mom got a guava margarita and it tasted like cotton candy so she switched it to strawberry but she didn't really enjoy it either , it wasn't that rich red you would normally see and didn't like the blend on it. Also, they do charge for every little thing. If they ask if you want a side of sour cream and guac with your meal it's $4 each. And we asked for a side of bbq sauce for my daughter's chicken tenders and that was a charge of over $3. So that was a bit disappointing. But service was good and at least you get a pretty view. read more

Did a short hike near Lake Las Vegas and decided to stop here for lunch. Sat by the bar...nice view of the lake & patio. Decided on the taco combo...chicken & avocado..both were good. I really liked the salsa that comes with the chips...a good amount of heat. Their service was good, as well. Good place for lunch with nice lake view . read more

Went to a Saturday lunch with longtime friends. While one party lives in Boulder City, one in Henderson and one in Summerlin, we needed to meet halfway. We have visited Sonrisa Grill in the past and each time, we have a lovely time with good company, excellent service by Zoey, decent margaritas, and really good food. Zoey recognized our need to chit chat a bit and checked up on us regularly without interrupting our often "animated" conversations. She provided us with excellent service. The restaurant is located in Lake Las Vegas. The best advice I can give is to park in the Hilton garage (free) and take the elevator where you can walk next door to Sonrisa. They offer outdoor seating that has great views to people watch. I recommend, especially, if you are in the area. read more

Sonrisa Grill is easily one of the best waterfront dining experiences in the Las Vegas valley. Located right in Montelago Village at Lake Las Vegas, the setting alone makes it worth the visit. The lake views, spiral staircases, and pastel architecture give it a fun, resort-style vibe. The food absolutely delivers -- flavorful street-style tacos, sizzling fajitas, and fresh enchiladas layered with house-made salsas. The margaritas are balanced and not overly sweet, which I always appreciate. Great atmosphere, solid service, and a perfect excuse to spend more time at Lake Las Vegas. I'll definitely be back. read more

Came here for our anniversary dinner. The view was absolutely beautiful and the drinks were amazing. The food, however, didn't feel very authentic Mexican. The service was just okay--I had to get up and get my own napkins, possibly because we were seated outside while it was busy inside. It was also a bit pricey for what it was, and we've had much better quality food for a lower price. Overall, it's a nice spot for the atmosphere and cocktails, but there is room for improvement with the food, service, and value. read more

I have to say, I would have given this restaurant 10 stars if I could. The GM, Jeremy, went over and above to pick us up at our car with a golf cart, as my wife walks with a walker.

Food was delicious and so are the frozen drinks. Cheese dip lacked flavor, but mixed with their salsa, it was awesome.

Sonrisa Mexican Restaurant is one of our favorite places in Lake Las Vegas! The food is consistently delicious, and the service is always outstanding. Try their queso! The wait staff is friendly, attentive, and makes us feel welcome every time we visit. We especially enjoy going on Friday nights when they have the DJ. It's such a fun atmosphere with great music, excellent food, and wonderful service. It's the perfect place to relax, enjoy a meal, and spend the evening with friends. If you're looking for great Mexican food, a beautiful setting, and a fun Friday night, I highly recommend Sonrisa. We'll definitely be back! read more

First time there. Margaritas were good. In bar 2 tvs. One on golf the other on a catholic religious station with full services. Not what I want to watch in a bar. Our nachos arrived the chips are from a bag??? Why why ?? Liquid cheese like a horrible mall restaurant. A full cup of processed jalapeños. The beans were canned/baged. There is not one reason to go back. Owners take a trip to juans ask yourself why people are waiting an hour . read more

Thinking about moving from Seattle to Lake Las Vegas and discovered Sonrisa Grill on a warm May afternoon. It was about 1pm and I was looking for a cold michealada and a light bite. I ordered the carnitas sliders with fries and a side of fried jalapeños and onions. The sliders were great but the star of the show were the jalapeños and onions. Reminds me of when I saw Nonpoint open for Seether in Boise. I wasn't expecting much from Nonpoint, but now they're one of my favorite bands. Just like the J&Os. Now, every time I go to a Mexican place like Flaming Juan's in Henderson, I ask for fried jalapeños. The service at Sonrisa Grill was excellent and you have a great view of the lake where you can see people fall off their paddle boards. If you're at the Lake, you must check this place out. read more

Came here the other night to eat, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing from start to finish. First, there was over an hour wait. We asked if they would call or text us when our table was ready, but they told us they don't do that we had to stand outside the entire time and wait for them to yell our name. It seems like they don't have a good system in place for handling busy nights. A waitlist service like OpenTable or SevenRooms would make things much more organized. We decided to come back later instead of standing outside the whole time. When we returned, the blonde haired host sat us at an outdoor table that was completely covered in crumbs. It was obvious the table hadn't been cleaned, and she had to have seen it because the crumbs were right in front of her. She walked away immediately after seating us without saying anything. Thankfully, a kind busser noticed and cleaned the table for us. After that, we waited over 20 minutes, and not a single server or staff member came to greet us, take our drink order, or even acknowledge us. We eventually got up and left. Overall, the lack of organization, communication, and basic customer service made for a very frustrating experience. Unfortunately, I probably won't be coming back. read more

Visited this hidden gem while staying at local resort. Greeted and seated right away. Weather was perfect so we sat outside. I'm not sure if chips and salsa are given to every table, but we had to ask for some. I ordered a corona margarita and it was delish! For my entree, I went with the chile relleno, chicken taco and rice & beans. I was very pleased with my meal. I really liked that they had a soft corn tortilla vs the crunch Taco Bell kind. My husband got enchiladas, but had to send them back since they came with the wrong sauce. He enjoyed those as well. Service was great and didn't take too long for refills and such. Would come back when in the area again. read more

When I landed in Lake Las Vegas this June (2025), Sonrisa Grill was the first restaurant I dined at. At that time, I gave a stellar review recognizing the staff, the food selections/preparation and the ambiance. Here it is 4-months later and the accolades still hold true. The employees EACH AND EVERY ONE put forth utmost enthusiasm for their job - actually happy to be there! To take a phrase from my prior review - this restaurant is a "well-oiled machine." It's obvious the employees like each other. Repeat customers (and new) are treated with respect - we matter. Highly recommend this neighborhood establishment. Perfectly prepared food selections, warmly welcomed and down-home camaraderie sums up Sonrisa Grill in Lake Las Vegas. read more

They have an in house DJ it was do cool! Great music. 2 levels and outdoor seating. Great AC inside. It is right behind the Hilton. If you are staying at the Hilton just walk out and it's hect to the garden before the lake. Excellent drinks, great service and good food. My daughter loved the tortilla soup. I had the fajitas, super filling. Shrimp was good, chicken was a bit small. My husband had a burrito with grilled chicken and hrcreslly liked it. Order the mango margarita blended it us just like in Mexico so good! We only waited 2 minutes. Lots of gorgeous picture spots outside. Great chips and salsa. Fun decorations. Multiple restrooms. If friends come have them park in the hotel parking structure. Located directly behind the hotel. read more

I've been coming here since 2017, and Chanty (the owner) and her husband have always been very pleasant. Unfortunately, my experience today was very disappointing because of the hostess, Stormy. When I asked to sit on the patio, she immediately said no because I had a dog. My dog is a service animal and was wearing her service vest. Stormy insisted that unless the dog had a leash she wasn't allowed, and then went on to drill me about what service my dog provides. This is not only unnecessary, but also against ADA guidelines--staff are not permitted to question the specifics of a disability if the service animal is properly identified. Her attitude came across as rude and dismissive, with a smirk on her face the entire time. The restaurant was completely empty, and I would have happily stayed and spent money, as I always do, but instead I left feeling disrespected. It's sad because I've recommended this restaurant to many people over the years whenever they visit Lake Las Vegas. After this experience, I will be letting people know how poorly I was treated by the staff. read more

Excellent Friendly & Professional Service. The Location is great next to the Lake. Ambiance is of a Mexican Hacienda with Nice indoor and outdoor Seating. The Food is Outstanding & Authentic.

The food was cool and even though our server was pleasant when she was at the table, her service tucked. It took 20 minutes for us to get water. And she came to the table maybe 2 times to check on us. My husband had to ask another server to get us our water and silverware. This was my first time here and it's safe to say that the food wasn't good enough to compensate for her. Now the server of the table next to us was on point. And then to top it off because we had a party is 6 we were charged 18% auto gratuity ($33) for service that sucked. I don't usually complain and try to find the silver lining but in this case.... read more

We came here for my birthday and were very disappointed. The service was very slow, the server went by multiple times without acknowledging us and when she finally came to take our order, it took at least 15 minutes to get a sprite and two cocktails. The Bloody Mary I preferred was gross, and the Michelada my sister ordered was also not good. We ordered a couple apps, the meatball soup was okay, taquitos were bland and the Birria egg rolls were okay. I felt pretty sick immediately after as well and will definitely not be returning. Most of the restaurants and bars in the village are not open and it's kind of a ghost town so options are limited. But over all a very bad experience read more

Do. Not. Recommend. We were recommended to Sonrisa Grill by the Westin Las Vegas for a family reunion of 30 people (20 attended). What should have been a celebratory evening turned into a disaster from start to finish. The food took forever to arrive, and when it came time to pay, the staff was completely incapable of handling a split bill. The manager told us we could use multiple cards if we provided amounts--only for the waitress to contradict him and insist it was impossible, demanding the entire check go on one card. The sheer lack of communication and basic professionalism between staff and management was mind-blowing. To make matters worse, the manager hid from us when we asked to speak with him, while the waitress was blatantly rude. There was zero effort to make things right. Sonrisa Grill failed us on every level--food, service, management, and hospitality. They turned what should have been a memorable family reunion into an experience we'll never forget for all the wrong reasons. Save yourself the headache. Hard pass. read more
