    Lobby
    Cortney A.

    The place overall looked pretty clean and the service was very welcoming. The food however is not worthy of a return. I ordered two shrimp tacos that are served with ranch dressing (I'm so glad the cashier shared that tip or I would have been dissatisfied even further). The shrimp were big but very bland to taste I mean no flavor at all just wet served with warm pico de gallo toppings which made the corn tortilla soggy and fall apart. The red salsa is hot but delicious and the pickled red onions were my second favorite. The rice and beans are decent but overall $14+ dollars later I would not return.

    Lengua fries
    Jovanni A.

    $20 for this... They think a medium soda will make up for the ridiculous price. You may think it's ok bcz the meat(lengua) is extremely delicious but no, it's a bad as it looks. Go to any other place. Asada fries $14 Cabeza fries $18 All equally bad

    Person who is running the counter is on her phone texting while I just stand there, she contd even after her coworkers pointed me out.

    This is why their drive through is so slow and the service is shit...even after her coworkers pointed me out she continued texting on her phone...which is how I was able to take the picture. I don't even know if I want to eat this burrito now Btw..there were about 4-5 cars in the drive thru which is why I went inside.

    Carnitas Taco
    Ariana R.

    Ordenamos : 4 tacos 2 de carnitas con queso y crema que eran más como tacos de crema con carnitas. Y luego era puro cuero lo que le hecharon al taco 1 de carne asada que estaba todo desabrido y uno de pollo que estaba seco seco El burrito de pollo lleva un arroz humeado y desabrido y casi ni le hecharon pero si se pasaron con la cebolla Las asada fríes era lo único decente. Igual la carne desabrida. No recomendó.

    If your craving a good breakfast burrito on the east side then viva el taco is the place. I ordered a chorizo egg potato and cheese breakfast burrito. This burrito is so tasty and satisfying. The size of it is worth the price as well. It's about 7 bucks. Well worth it. I definitely recommend trying it.

    I travel far for this place, but I only do it for one item on their menu that rivals all the other places. Their Carne Asada fries are to die for. If you try them just on their own they are amazing. I like them with the green sauce, and the price actually fits the dish. The carne asada fries easily better than Robertos Tacos and Tacos el gordo. I would recommend them lol just be prepared to break diets for this

    Pricing I found is a bit cheaper then some of the other Mexican food chains. Only issue I've had is they did not understand a request to add something and messed up my order once.

    Chicken Nacho with No Chips and No Cheese!!!!!
    Trisha B.

    I usually come here once a week. I really like the chicken nachos. Although I was very very disappointed tonight. There was NO CHIPS!!!! I really enjoyed the chicken but I saved it so I can go buy some chips to eat it with it and cheese. Make my own. Shame on the cook for ruining my nachos tonight!!!!

    Wednesday specials are really good. They can have a little bit of an attitude if you ask for ground beef.

    Service was not so good... the guy I order my tacos from had a bad attitude but if you about food…read moreand not service.. tacos are on point and I just tried the taco del pastor...

    Hands down one of my favorite and most affordable taco spots!…read more It's located next to a busy plaza so parking can be quite difficult They're open daily 10am-2pm. Definitely recommend going when they first open because otherwise it doesn't matter the time or day of the week, the lines are extremely long! Love how spacious the restaurant and how organized it is! Once inside the restaurant, there are several lines and you just line up according to which meat and item you want. The longest lines are definitely the asada and adobada (pork)! Once you reach the front of the line, you just tell the staff which and how many of the item you want, as well as any customizations to it. After you get your order, you just head to the cashier line and paying is so easy and convenient! Pricing is reasonable. - Tacos, tostadas, taco aztecas - $4.12 - Sopes, quesadillas, vampiras, & mulas - $7.54. - fries with meat - $22.18+ - soft drinks - $3.31 Arrived at 11am on Sunday and it was already super crowded. Stood in the asada line for at least half an hour but the wait was so worth it! Got 3 Asada Tacos and the tortilla was so soft, hot, and fresh. It was stuffed with plenty of tender beef! The beef was packed with flavor and marinated so well! The pico de gallo was so delicious, as well as the salsa and guac. The Horchata was ok and nothing special since it wasn't made from scratch like the phenomenal tacos! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and my food. Definitely would recommend and return!

The first thing I noticed was just how packed the entire Venetian area was that night! Apparently No Doubt was in town performing at Sphere, and since the Venetian parking garage is basically right next door, the whole resort had a ton of energy and nonstop foot traffic. It was definitely busy! CHICA had a really fun atmosphere. The restaurant itself feels stylish and upscale without being overly formal. The décor had this vibrant inspired energy with music, lighting, and a social vibe that works really well for group dinners or events! Since it was catered for the event, I only tried a selection of tapas, but everything I had was really good! All of the food was flavorful, well presented, and easy to share while mingling! I really enjoyed the experience! Between the Vegas energy from the Sphere crowd, the lively atmosphere inside CHICA, and the solid food, it ended up being a really fun evening during the conference trip! Definitely somewhere I'd consider coming back to for a full dinner next time I'm on the Strip.

    SO GOOD! Favorite spot of the day , hands down. What a great way to end our day trip to Vegas!…read more We started with two appetizers which were more on an amuse bouche. Small in size but packed with flavor. The Himachi? We could've eaten ten of them. Deeeelicious. The main course came out while I stepped away for a few minutes so I missed the fire show, but got to see it when another table got it later. The taste of the beef was absolutely amazing and loved the accrucements that accompanied it as well. We ended our meal with an almost missed Tres Leches. (Silly me didn't ask for the dessert menu, almost had grounds for being left in Las Vegas!). I'm so glad we circled back and got it, cause it was fan freakin tastic Service also was amazing - our server was so patient and kind

Between the music, crowd, and fire performances, it really feels like a full experience and not just dinner. I will say, when we first arrived the front dining room surrounded by candles was VERY warm. I asked if they could lower the AC because while I totally understand the ambiance they're going for, once everyone starts eating and drinking it gets hot fast. They were very accommodating and did lower it a bit, which we appreciated. I also loved that they start you off with pico de gallo and chips for the table, and when we asked for more they happily brought extra. Such a small thing but it made the experience feel really welcoming and generous. For food, we ordered the truffle quesadilla, street corn, and the Chicken Parm Mexicana. The truffle quesadilla was SO good and packed with flavor from the mushrooms, truffle oil, and cheese. The street corn was delicious too, and the Chicken Parm Mexicana was such a fun twist on a classic. Crispy chicken, flavorful sauce, and perfectly melted Chihuahua cheese. For drinks, I had the Toca Margarita and loved it. Super fresh and well balanced. Service was great throughout the night and the atmosphere made it such a fun place for our group dinner before the No Doubt concert at the Sphere. Would absolutely come back on another Vegas trip!!

The salsas, guac, and their chips...out of this world flavor! Loved the tomatillo based salsa...SO good!
