Hand made tortillas!
Jadri L.

Whats not to love about this place? Would I come back again? Yessssss Here is why Food - 5 stars: Very tasty burritos and tacos. Unfortunately I left no evidence of the food as I was too hungry and swallowed it. Hand made tortillas!! Had the mahi mahi burrito and it was packed with fish. The fish tacos was amazing. The churros were delicious Prices - 5 stars: Very reasonable for the portions and quality of food, compared to other places. $10 bucks for a burrito, max $12 Facility and staff - 5 Stars: super friendly staff. Facility has its own touch. Very presentable and super creative Come give them a try, you won't be disappointed

Let's taco 'bout one of my favorite taco spots in Las Vegas! I used to live in the apartments above this place, and what an absolute blessing that was. I ate here at least once a week, sometimes every other week, and it never disappointed. The place is cute, clean, and always seems to be busy, which tells you everything you need to know! They even have a great vegetarian taco called the Nopal. My favorite tacos are the Camarón, Al Pastor, Sonora, and Baja, in that order. I dress them all the same way: with their lovely habanero sauce and a squeeze of lime. It hits every single time and NEVER misses. Honestly, I'd recommend this place over Tacos El Gordo overall. I blame this place for a good portion of the weight I gained from stress eating during my time living at The Lotus. But in all seriousness, this place kept me happy during one of the darkest times of my life, and for that, I'm forever grateful.

The Taco Stand is HANDS DOWN our go-to spot in Vegas! Whether it's a late-night craving or we're just in the mood for really good Mexican food, this is always our first choice. Everything is consistently amazing--the food comes out so quickly, the portions are generous, the prices are great, and the quality is seriously top tier. One of my favorite things is their sauce bar... absolutely TO DIE FOR! I am allergic to corn tortillas so their "Sonora taco" option is a life saver!!! What I love most is that the quality never changes. Every visit is just as good as the last, and that consistency is hard to beat. Best taco spot EVER in Vegas!

I'm a bit sad that this place is a bit further off the strip but I knew I had to come here if time permitted while in Las Vegas because I go to the San Diego location each time I'm there! I've tried their meat based tacos but I prefer the Shrimp & Baja tacos here! It would be nice if they had trays to help bring ~~Parking: There's a shared lot where it appears this place is located at the bottom of a complex with a couple of other spots. Parking seemed a bit packed but there were still spots available, though I Ubered over from the strip. ~~Best Part: The Salsa bar! I like how they have many different types of salsas to choose from along with jalapenos & red onions. ~~Return: Yes

MAR Y TIERRA FRIES
Roxanne E.

We did a take out order for dinner. We ordered the bean and cheese burrito, carne Asada burrito, Baja taco, al Pastor taco, carne Asada taco and their Mar Y Tierra fries. Hands down the fries were delicious! It came with shrimp and steak with some guacamole and chipotle sauce. It did get soggy quick because of all the sauce and toppings, but it was still so good! All the tacos were yummy! However, the carne asada and Al pastor were a bit chewy. The fish in the Baja taco was cooked to perfection. The carne asada burrito was okay. Again the meat was kind of tough. My daughter enjoyed her bean and cheese burrito. It was huge! She definitely had a lot left over. Great spot if you are craving tacos!

CHURROS
Annie L.

Love this place! Absolutely delicious from carne asada burrito, to carne asada fries but mostly the churros!! Hands down best churros ever. Carne Asada fries have great seasons on the fries and can be eaten without any added items from the salsa bar!! Carne Asada Burrito a bit messy towards the end as things fall apart. LOVE the salsa bar! The Mild Avocado is good, and the Chipotle salsa with a smokiness is good too!! Service a bit slow but not due to laziness, just very busy place and very small kitchen cooking area. Tortillas are made fresh in-house.

Sonora tacos with cheese and burritos p fire, diversity of salsas unlimited (def try the creamy sauces) pairs well with thick crunchy chips rec buy a bag to share for table. Quite solid flavorful tacos. Seating may be difficult since the interior is quite tiny and it's very popular so be prepared to wait. Inside is cute and homey

Pescado Taco, Baja taco
Timothy Spencer T.

TLDR: It doesn't matter which branch you go to. Taco stand always delivers, and I've never hated a meal here. MAR Y TIERRA BURRITO - It's still the lightest burrito that provides the most size. I can't say enough good things about the aioli that they use to add flavor profiles to the shredded vegetables used to add body to the burrito. The steak and shrimp used here were good as usual, and the cheese added in is always a welcome surprise. Pescado Taco - The grilled fish taco is one of their better tacos. It's a meaty fish bite, and you get the "signature" slaw + avocado slice. Baja Taco - Most of their tacos are given the sauce + slaw combo along with the protein. I feel that the baja improves in my taco ranking depending on how much fish I get per taco. The batter is amazing and it's really a question if you want to eat fried fish or not. Camaron Taco - Crunchy shrimp, and very good slaw. But I feel that the shrimp is best paired with the steak, thankfully, they have a mar y tierra taco, which I think is the better thing to order. Ambiance: It's one of their bigger branches, so finding a table isn't difficult. Everything else inside the store is stock standard to all the branches I've been to. Service: You order, pay, and they call your name to pick up your food. Straightforward.

Nopal and Camaron
Stacey W.

After having missed out on trying the nopal at one of their San Diego locations because they ran out, decided to come here and get one. This was delicious, just what I expected and the sauce bar is what I love about this place!

Kelly S.

This place was worth the hype. For a reasonable price you get a fairly large taco. The Baja taco was my favorite. Even when hungry, two tacos will do it. The condiment bar is also excellent. Will definitely return.

Can't believe I have done a review for this spot yet! I've been a handful of times. Every time we visit Vegas it's our first stop. Food is always fresh and delicious. They also have a full salad bar with a handful of options from mild to habanero. The decor makes you feel as if you're eating in Mexico. Carne Asada is top notch. Pictured is the shrimp and pastor taco. The asada taco didn't make the photo lol

Marlon T.

The Taco Stand in Chinatown is definitely worth a visit if you're craving great tacos. The carne asada and al pastor were both outstanding. The meat was flavorful, tender, and packed into fresh tortillas. Don't skip either of them. The restaurant also has some really cool artwork inside that gives the place a fun, vibrant atmosphere. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Las Vegas.

We have been going to Taco Stand a lot recently. The original location was founded in San Diego in 2013 by two guys from Tijuana. There are locations in Southern California, Florida, and Texas, We like how easy it is to get good food fast here. Parking at this location is ample. There's usually not a line when we go and the staff is always friendly. You order at the counter and then seat yourself. Sometimes it takes a little while to get your food, but that's fine because it's made fresh. My favorite items are the carne asada tacos, as well as the camaron (shrimp) tacos and elote. They also offer burritos, quesadillas, carne asada fries, and churros. There is a self-serve salsa bar that offers varying spice levels, from mild to extra spicy. The restaurant isn't fancy and I like that, too. This is just a great place to get some tasty tacos.

Is there a time frame that is not so busy to visit or is it always busy regardless?

Mostly busy, but line moves quick and chairs also become available fairly quickly.

Just curious do they put lard in there beans?

Im not sure but everything is so fresh.

Are your tortillas gluten free?

No There Full Of Awesome

It was a hot day and I left a meeting and when I saw the sphere somewhat close by, I decided to…read morewalk over to it and take a close look. From there, El Dorado Cantina caught my eye after looking at Mexican restaurants in the middle afternoon for lunch. I prefer stand alone restaurants, generally than restaurants in hotels or casinos. This review is for the Happy Hour menu. The restaurant had its Calaveras theme awaiting Dios de los Muertos. Very nice decor and friendly helpful server. I am gluten intolerant, or I would've ordered the mole, but I was there for their very extensive happy hour menu and from the following different kinds of tacos, I picked three based on her recommendations. The list of choices is: Carne Asada / Carnitas / Pulled Chicken / Al Pastor / Chorizo Corn & Poblano / Cauliflower / Crispy Beef & Brisket / Crispy Chicken / Quesabirria I chose the Al Pastor, Carne Asada and the Carnitas. Before my plate of three tacos I got a delicious basket of chips with green and red salsa. The tacos were filled with each particular meat and extras. They were all excellent with the Carnitas superlative, followed by the Al Pastor and then Carne Asada which needed a little salsa. I would have ordered dessert but I was filled up finishing the tacos. I might be gluten intolerant but I'm not glutton intolerant. Well done El Dorado.

El Dorado is such a cool-looking spot so I'll start with the positives. The decor is really nice…read moreand they have a lot of seating both at the bar and throughout. They have TVs if you're into sports. Service was great, very attentive and warm. The drinks were amazing, absolutely delicious. I hate to say this, but the food was only okay. If you're looking for authentic Mexican flavors, this is t the place for you. The green pozole was insanely salty and tasted only of cumin. The fajitas were okay, nothing out of the ordinary. The hard shell tacos were so hard they were hard to eat. And the meat inside was ground beef...just a weird choice. Overall, a good experience because it was time spent with friends, but the food needs work.

They have different stations and lines depending on what you're ordering, with a huge variety of meats to choose from. I even spotted some more adventurous options, like cow brains and cow eyes! I tried the steak quesadilla, a chorizo taco, and a lengua taco. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, especially the tortillas, which tasted freshly homemade. The lengua taco was easily my favorite! The meat was incredibly flavorful and had the perfect texture. I've had lengua before that was rubbery and overly chewy, but this was tender and cooked beautifully. The green salsa added just the right amount of heat without overpowering the flavor of the meat. The chorizo taco was also excellent! The meat was well-seasoned, savory, and had just the right amount of saltiness. It came with similar fresh toppings and salsa, which complemented everything really well. As much as I enjoyed it, I would definitely order more lengua tacos next time! The steak quesadilla, however, wasn't my favorite. It was completely different from what I typically think of as a quesadilla. Instead of a soft tortilla folded over melted cheese and meat, this one had a soft, house-made tortilla on the bottom with a layer of melted cheese, followed by steak and the usual toppings, and then what seemed like a hard crispy tostada-style shell on top. There wasn't any additional cheese between the steak and the top shell, so the layers felt pretty separate rather than everything being melted together. I'm not sure if this is a different style of quesadilla, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting! It wasn't necessarily bad, just not my preference. I much preferred the tacos, especially the lengua! Another thing I appreciated was how quick and efficient the service was, especially considering how busy and lively the restaurant was. I also love that they're open super late, making this a great spot for a late-night bite in Vegas. Overall, I'm so glad I finally got to try Tacos El Gordo! The quality of the food, fresh ingredients, fun atmosphere, and efficient service made it a great experience. Although the quesadilla wasn't quite my style, the tacos more than made up for it. Definitely somewhere I'd happily return to on my next trip to Las Vegas!

The vibes are everything we expected it to be. I cannot wait to go back and try so many more things from the menu!! Not pictured was my frescarita de melon!! it was perfect!!

Loved the esthetics of the place from the outside. We put our name on their waiting list which took…read more30 mins to be called in. The inside was also great to take photos of. Most waiters/waitresses were dressed in characters from El Chavo Del Ocho show. They even had a barrel where you can look like you lived in it like El Chavo. Loved how their physical Menu cover was made of what appeared to be wood. They served salsa and chips that were pretty good. Had real high hopes of having a wonderful experience here with my family but it wasn't so. That's about where our joy ended. After being seated by LA Chilindrina we waited 20 mins to receive our drinks but my Wife didn't receive hers at all. We were starting to feel neglected. Then it took 40 mins for for another waiter to take our order. Between the order being placed and the hour it took them to deliver our food, my wife noticed the people that were seated right before us were already finishing their meal. Then she also noticed that the people seated after us already had their appetizers. As my wife went to the restroom she found and told La Chilidrina that we were not happy with the service at all. She pointed out the guests before us and after us were being served and we were still waiting for our food. El Chavo asked if we like more "chile" and he showed up with it 1/2 hr later with the chips and salsa. Then we started to get bombarded which seems like by all the staff members coming to our table asking if everything was ok. At that point we figured we stayed this long let's at least try their food. Maybe that would make up for their horrible service. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and tasted bland. Family said food wasn't the greatest. After our plates were taken we were still asked if we wanted desert. Wife said no we just wanted to leave. Then waiter said that it would be on the house, and we still said we just wanted to leave. We are generous tippers and even with bad service we still leave a tip. This one we did not feel guilty for not tipping, nah it still sucks. We felt that there was no organized structure because we were being served by multiple people. If not mistaken there were 5 people interacting with us in total. Then we started to get their reason for the service displayed. If it were a reasonably new or recently opened establishment then we can understand. They have been in business for years and you would think that they would be pros by now. Then there were the guest before us and after us that were well tended to. All in all, unfortunately we will personally not be back again, which is a great shame for us because we would have loved to have supported La Vecindad. We hope this doesn't occur to you, but just heads up. Me: PiiiPiiiPiiiiPiiiPiiiiiii Wife: Wah Wah Waaahhhh

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.

We had the chicken and waffles and the French toast--both delicious. The staff even brought out a complimentary birthday dessert for my sister, which was such a sweet touch. Just a heads-up: we came for the fire show and belly dancing advertised, but those are apparently only during dinner service. They also don't allow balloons. Even with those minor hiccups, the service and food were so good that we're planning to return for dinner to see the show. Highly recommend!
