I ended up at Fantastic swamp roaming around and suddenly I see this booth with Mexican decorations and a menu. I ordered 2 tacos and got to try their juice, which I then also ordered: cucumber juice. The chicken taco was good but the fish taco was out of this world. Delicious!!! The juice was really good too just too sweet for me. I was gonna water it down but ended up drinking it as is. This spot is a hidden gem! Friendly staff, good service and simple but superb Mexican food.

I was checking out Fantastic Swap Meet and came across Tia's Cafe. I decided to try it. They have authentic Mexican cuisine. From what I learned, their food are made-from-scratch. They have Burritos, Nachos, Tostados, Quesadillas, Chicken Wings and more. I tried their Chicken Wings, and also tried their Churros for dessert and Mexican corn. They are located at the corner of Oakey Blvd and Decatur Blvd inside the Swap Meet. Oh, don't forget to try their specialty drinks Horchata. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. There are several small seatings. The service was fast and on par. This is a great find and a hidden gem and I want to try the other items on the menu. The menu are not overwhelming and the prices are reasonable. You pay the $1 to get in to the Swap Meet and I believe it's in the aisle H and follow the Food sign. They don't have a separate door. Remember they are open only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am - 6pm. Maybe that will change in the future.

fish tacos, beans & rice. pollo sopa.
Alitalia A.

Honestly some of the best Mexican food I've had... even better than some places in Mexico! For $6.99 I ordered the 2 fish tacos, beans & rice combo.The best fish tacos I've had. The batter was thick & crispy, it wrapped around the fish & matched the soft fish texture perfectly and wasn't greasy or flaky... paired very well with the flavorful refried beans and fluffy spanish rice. For $5 the pollo sopa has a whole chicken thigh, marinated carrots, (cucumbers or zucchini, couldn't tell) and cabbage. The broth was light, full of flavor & however, not heavily salted...just a perfect blend. For $2 you have your small drink choice of homemade cantelope, pineapple and the BEST HORCHATA I've ever drank. Seriously, I've had some over cinnamon-ed, over milky horchata and the flavors in this blend are just perfect! I think perfect seems to be the key word to describe this place. Whoever's Tia is cooking, MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!

Sopes!

2016 Yelp 100 Review Challenge - 38/100 A hidden gem at the indoor swap meet! The food is made fresh. One thing you need to try is their torta. Torta is delicious & a good size. I had a half and it was more than enough for me. The bread was soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. The meat was flavorful and tender, soooo DELICIOUS. Good amount of sauce as well. And dare I say it... it may be better than some I've had in Cali. (Sorry no photo of torta, I was hungry :-P I will take photos next time, for sure!) Our group had the sopes, elote, fried chicken & fries, enchiladas and horchata. All were delicious, no complaints. The torta and horchata was my fave from this spot. Food & service were amazing, it felt like going over to my Mexican cousins' house for some home cooked meals. Looking forward to coming here again next time I'm at the Fantastik Swap Meet.

Best enchiladas I've tasted in my mouth!

Are you serious? This restaurant is legit and tasty beyond words! It is in an indoor swap meet and it doesn't disappoint! I was really hungry after walking around the swap meet for deals and they have great finds. I really wanted tasty mexican food during my trip and I'm glad that I found this restaurant! I asked the worker what is their best seller and he said their enchiladas are tasty! I ordered one order that includes 3 enchiladas with green sauce. Inside has tons of cheese and tender steak. On the side has lettuce, cucumbers, and radish. It complimented well with the cheesy tasty enchiladas! The enchiladas were very cheesy and delicious that if I lived in the neighborhood then I'd visit each weekend. Also I bought a refreshing strawberry lemonade! Check out this restaurant in the indoor swapmeet and you won't be disappointed. :-)

Cheese enchiladas double beans really good
michelle c.

This place is inside the Fantastic Indoor Swap Meet in Las Vegas off of Decatur and Oakey really good food the cheese enchiladas with red sauce are great I've also had a with green sauce There bomb their tortas are also good. There elotes are jamming

Dobt miss out!

This little Taqueria is amazingly good! The owner Alboro has a passion for excellence. Everything that comes out of the kitchen, made by one of his 3 beautiful cooks, is looked over by him and does not hit your table unless its perfect. I fully recommend paying the dollar to get into the Fantastik Swap meet just to get into this place for food. If your already going to the swap meet check out Tia's you won't be disappointed its quality Mex grub for sure. The Mexican Corn is probably the most popular dish.

Yummy

Staff are friendly and quick with service. I do love coming here to study though! Wifi is free and easy to access with no time limits. They've added a conference table with access to outlets, although the rest of the tables/cubicles don't have outlets. It can get a bit loud with background noise, as the sound echoes from kitchen operations and kids are playing in the play area of the restaurant. It's usually easy to find a spot in the afternoons/evenings on weekdays and weekends. Overall, reliable study spot for anyone looking for a place!

I went up to the restaurant - grabbed a side salad out of the cold case and went to the hot line for the pasta marinara. It was a cavatappi pasta on this day (I'm not sure if it's always the same) and he scooped a full bowl of it and topped it with marinara! You can add 4 meatballs for $1.50 so I did and put it on the pasta. There you go - pasta and meatballs marinara. The taste - not bad! I mean, you can't expect a sit-down restaurant quality but it's simple enough that for $2.99 - you don't have much to complain about. I ate it, I was full and I was on to my next errand! PLUS - free coffee for flashing the members code (which is free).

We met friends for brunch midweek - the place was packed at 11 AM. OSC will win no awards for decorating. About 20 tables inside, another half dozen seats at the bar, and a few more outside. Jade, our server, was at our table with a smile and a warm welcome almost as soon as we sat down. Service remained excellent despite the crowd. Both my wife and I opted for the make your own omelet with a side of potatoes and an everything bagel ($16). The omelet is HUGE and loaded with the goodies we requested packed inside (except for the avocado which was sliced on top). Absolutely delish!!! And way more than we could finish at one sitting - breakfast for tomorrow! There is a reason the OSC has had staying power despite the number of newer competing restaurants in the area. We will be back again soon.

They do up charge if you get specialty pancakes. These ones weren't really worth it. I got the chicken chipotle wrap and was surprised at how good it was. I was a big fan and would definitely get it again. Chicken was thinly pounded with really good flavor. We'll definitely be back.

OVERALL : Was craving some chicken tenders / hot fried…read morechicken while in Vegas and decided to stop by this spot after hearing that it was a well known spot in a couple other states (TN, AL, GA, IL, and TX). They are located in the Cosmopolitan food hall serving up nashville fried chicken, sides, and some boozy drinks. There's seating shared with the rest of the places in the food hall, and you order at the counter then self-seat. Service was fast and friendly. This is a super casual no-frills spot and food came out quick. Big portions (3 tender meal was enough to share between 2) and tasty drinks! Pricing was a bit less than what I saw from other chicken tender meals at other food courts. PARKING : N/A -- we walked here since we were staying on the Strip and ended up at the Cosmo FOOD/DRINKS : Tenders - 3 big tenders served with 1 side and 1 sauce + slice of white bread - We got mid spicy but they had several other spice levels. The tenders were BIG and shareable, but not the juiciest and got a tad salty after eating for a while. Comeback sauce was really good to pair with everything though! For the side, we chose Pimento Mac and Cheese. So creamy and cheesy with good pimento flavor! A la Carte Side - We got some fries on the side and it was the best decision! The fries were thick cut, SO well seasoned, and stayed crisp despite sitting for a while as we ate. Big portion too! Peach Vodka Sweet Tea Slush - Had to get a boozy slush since we were in Vegas! This def had the peach vodka flavor front and center -- a fun and tasty drink!

( this new tipping in fast food is ridiculous) Eye roll included. Not a great start. Yes, the chicken came out hot that's the one thing it got right. But the breading is nowhere close to real Southern fried chicken. It's heavy, OVERLY greasy, and misses the mark completely. The ranch tasted bottled, the sweet tea wasn't fresh (straight dispenser vibes), and the peach cobbler had zero flavor only saved by the vanilla ice cream. It smells amazing walking up, but don't fall for it. $31 for a greasy, underwhelming meal with attitude on the side? Hard pass. Wouldn't come back or recommend. * it just leaves me thinking, of all the amazing Mom and pop spots in the small southern towns that I call home. I know a handful of restaurants that could absolutely flourish if given the chance in a location such as the cosmopolitan.
