    I had such an amazing experience at The Taco Stand! The food is fresh, authentic, full of flavor, and you can genuinely taste the quality and care that goes into it. The flavor is honestly UNBEATABLE. I highly recommend the shrimp & steak fries and the shrimp & steak tacos you seriously cannot go wrong with either one. Everything was seasoned perfectly and packed with flavor. And the churros?! Those are made with LOVE! Fresh, warm, and the perfect way to finish the meal. I also have to recognize the amazing staff. Ada, the manager, was wonderful, Yessi, my cashier, was so friendly and welcoming, and Zita, the cook, absolutely did her thing! The food AND the customer service were exceptional. When you have authentic, delicious food and a team that genuinely makes you feel welcomed, it makes you want to come back. Thank you Ada, Yessi, and Zita for such a great experience. 10/10 I'll definitely be back!

    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

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Taco spot under an apartment complex with decent parking. It was my first time trying it as I was craving street tacos and yes they are street tacos, therefore, I don't see a reason for 1 taco to cost over $4. Ordered a couple different ones: chicken which was dry and needed sauce and there was no flavor, fish which the fish tasted nice and was lightly breaded, however, there was just a tiny amount of sauce on the top, pastor which also was dry and felt like the pineapples were counted before putting it on, lastly, mushroom which was the only one that was flavorful and had a decent amount. I also requested extra sauce, onions, cilantro and lime on the side which was not there. The staff looked like they were over it and weren't all that welcoming. And the ordered was placed online for pickup but was not ready when I got there. It was Friday afternoon so I get there was kind of a lunch rush but that should be expected I feel. Overall was not impressed by the food or the lack of service.

    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.

    If you are craving cheap Mexican food, this is the place. Had an Al Pastor burrito with rice and beans on the side. It was good. I'd still give the nod to Sergs but since the had an actual salsa bar, it's a winnah! I heard it's best to go on off hours cause it gets packed. We had no problem as we went just before 11am. The Pico de gallo was good,as were the rest of the salsas. Surprisingly the habanero wasn't very burner.

And when I did try to go there the parking lot was so full. I couldn't find a place to park. But it worked out in my favor that today was the day for me to try tacos El Gordo. Now I had heard about this place and how they are jam-packed 24/7, and I can see why you walk in and the place is hustling and bustling like a big cafeteria. Cafeteria you stand in line walk up to the counter where the guys are slinging tortillas and chopping up meat like there's no end in sight. You place your order they give you your food. You go to the cashier and sit down to enjoy. People behind the counter were very perfunctory, like they knew they had a million tacos to serve that day. I get it, but a little friendliness would go a long way. The ladies at the cashier place were very nice, paid for my tacos and sat down to enjoy. I'm not going to lie, these are some damn good tacos. Now. I have had numerous tacos here in Las Vegas, but tacos El Gordo? This is exactly what I would imagine. Getting tacos in Mexico would be like. Super tasty, the meat is very flavorful and they put on just the right amount of onions, cilantro and a little bit of guacamole to top it off. Bottom line? I am so glad I got to go and this will not be my last time. The only thing is I would probably direct deposit my checks here and just take the money out in tacos. Run, don't walk to get your taco fix on here!

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.

From the delicious, authentic food to the wonderful hospitality and adorable atmosphere, this place really impressed us. My dad and I both ordered the ceviche, and it was AMAZING! So fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We also tried Mama's Tacos with beef, which were fantastic. And can we talk about the rice?! Seriously, some of the best Mexican rice I've had. You can absolutely taste the love that goes into their cooking. And the little details were just too cute! They had adorable heart-shaped plates and even tiny heart-shaped tortilla chips! I mean, how sweet is that?! The colorful graffiti, fun decor, and all those thoughtful little touches gave the restaurant so much personality. It's the kind of place that makes you smile just being there. The service was equally wonderful. I originally ordered a Coke but then noticed they had aguas frescas. When I mentioned wanting one instead, the gentleman helping us immediately offered to get me one and told me not to worry about the Coke. Just genuinely kind, welcoming people who make you feel right at home. One thing to know: the food might take a little longer to come out, but trust me, it's absolutely worth the wait! Everything tasted incredibly fresh and homemade, and I'd much rather wait a little longer for food this good. You can tell this is a family-run establishment with a lot of heart, both literally and figuratively! We left happy, full, and already talking about what we want to try next. I honestly can't wait to go back and explore the rest of the menu. Delicious, authentic Mexican food, wonderful people, and the cutest little atmosphere. This place deserves all the love it can get!
