Do not miss a chance to eat this fantastic Mexican food and, if you imbibe, to enjoy their delicious cocktails. Watermelon/cucumber margarita with Vampiro Shrimp Tacos and Street Corn…AMAZING!!! Additionally, the service was impeccable. Favorite meal and experience during our time in Vegas. And we had some stellar ones!

Based off the reviews I was expecting to be blown away. Experience was just so so, food was good, service was ok, and it was so loud I couldn’t talk to my partner. Also no bathroom in the restaurant…

The all you can eat brunch was spectacular! About 20 different small plates to choose from all very different but the same in how tasty they were! Highly recommend getting the French toast option and the chicken tamale ! Will be back for sure.

Lots of food, so if you pick the unlimited choice, make sure you are hungry. The food came out warm, not hot, and nothing was spectacular. The bloody marys were nothing to write home about either, but our service was great. However for the price we paid, I would have expected great food and drink as well!! $350 for 4 of us

Service is actually pretty bad for a strip restaurant and the food was below mediocre. The hostess was rude and looked very unprofessional with a ridiculously looking long cardigan that looked like a PJ and it took forever for them to just give us water. Really disappointed

My wife and I got resv for our anniversary. We got there early so we ended up at a table in the bar. All 4 of our margaritas were great. Food was very good. The bartender serving our table was very nice and attentive. The servers who brought the food were helpful and pleasant. Price was a little steep but reasonable for a casino Restaurant. Overall we loved it.

The ahi tuna ceviche was tasty and refreshing. The plantain chips were the added crunch I needed. I also had the blood orange lemonade with my meal. It was the right amount of sweet. Overall, the food and service were excellent.

The outside seating was very noisy and it was even difficult to talk with each other at the table. That small inconvenience was more than overcome by the wonderful food and the excellent service. Our waitress was fantastic and so were servers and bus persons. We went for the restaurant week menu and were thoroughly satisfied by the food.

Unfortunately I was sick after eating there. I had the chicken enchiladas, chips and guacamole (eaten by my whole patty), and a margarita. I’m the only one who got sick. The food tasted very good, and our server was lovely.

We were there during Restaurant week - the options on the Restaurant week menu were not available on the regular menu. We ordered the Plantain empanadas (4/10), Chile Relleno (6/10, and the Churro Cheesecake (9/10). I expected the plantains in the empanadas to be less sweet. The sweetness did not pair well with the spicy sauce on top. The Chile Relleno was just ok. Nothing special - about like any Chile relleno I've gotten at much cheaper restaurants. For $50 per person, I expected better. The dessert was delicious, though. The only thing keeping the cheesecake from 10/10 is the churro "crust" was soggy instead of crispy, which was a little disappointing. Overall meal was just ok. Service was good. Drinks were overpriced for not being anything special - the 2 margaritas I had were not even served in margarita glasses, so that was a little disappointing.

Food and server were fantastic. That shrimp ceviche is amazing On several occasions this trip, experiences with your hostesses are atrocious. There was one - wish I had her name a long dark hair. Her pompous attitude and just garbage demeanor to customers is uncalled for. I hope next visit she will be gone.
