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 has quickly become one of my regular spots. My husband and I love coming here when we don't have any food at home and are stuck on what to get for dinner. We also love coming here with our friends. A lot of times, we come after concerts since they are open late. My favorite is their California burrito. My husband likes it because there are vegetarian options for him, like the mushroom and nopales tacos. We like to share the elote as well. Everything is served hot and fresh. The quality is great. They have a great selection of salsas. The service is usually pretty quick unless they are super busy. Sometimes it can be hard to find seating or even parking in the lot, but that doesn't hold us back from going and waiting for a spot or seat.

CARNE ASADA FRIES

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

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.

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

Just curious do they put lard in there beans?

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 a Loteria drinking game, with each card matching a drink on the menu. Fun idea, but when explained seemed confusing. The drink was ok, too sweet for me and a little small for the price. Menu highlights for me was The dirty corn, salsa flight, and my (2) taco plate. The dirty corn was a standout with elote-style corn in a bowl, topped with chicharron, chorizo, and spicy mayo. It delivers that street corn flavor, but with a good mix of textures and spice. My tacos were delicious. I tried one grilled shrimp taco and one carnitas taco, served with rice and beans. The blue corn tortillas were a nice touch and pillowy soft! The carnitas were amazing, great flavor and super tender. I shrimp tacos were just as good and when topped with their habanero, verde, and roja salsa, that heat and flavor depth gets elevated! Overall, it's a dependable neighborhood spot with a fun atmosphere, creative touches, and good food that makes it worth a visit if you are in the area!
