In Short – Trendy singles sip margaritas prepared by the Tequila Goddess at rose-petaled, resin-topped tables in the lounge, or in the restaurant decorated with blue-tile walls and bright, abstract paintings. Latin music plays as diners choose from a variety of guacamoles made tableside, like the lobster and passion-fruit blend. Entrees feature inventive takes on traditional tacos and burritos, as well as bold dishes, including the grilled spiced chicken or Mexican meatballs with chipotle-tomato sauce.

Downhill since my first visit
by verybecca at Citysearch
I remember visiting a few years ago and remembering how fabulous it was - there was a guacamole tasting, great chicken mole, and wonderful cocktails. A few years later, I went back and they removed the guacamole tasting from the menu and so I ordered the chipotle guacamole and it was fizzy. This had happened once to me before from a bad mexican restaurant in LA, and I recognized it right away. I actually sent it back and they were nice and replaced it, however, the new one had a fizziness to it too. The rest of the food wasn't particularly memorable. I kind of think if a mexican restaurant can't do guacamole right, something is really wrong.
- Pros: cute place, good service
- Cons: fizzy guacamole

Great food, Great service!

Mexican was not my first choice of food but I am sure glad we ended up here! The Carne Asada tacos were the best I have ever tasted. We were seated right away and our server was very friendly and attentive. I will go back next time I am in Vegas.
- Pros: Food, Service, Value

The BEST Mexican food in the city!
by VegasDV at Citysearch
Chef Richard Sandoval also has restuarants in New York and Denver. He is the master of Mexican-fusion cuisine, which takes everything you love about Mexican food and turns it into a work of art. My favorites are the rock shrimp ceviche, carne asada tacos, sauteed jumbo prawns maya, and the lobster guacamole! The restuarant features a tequila bar that has a "Tequila Goddess" which offers explanations on any of the more than 100 different tequilas they serve! They even offer "The Goddess Elixir" drink, which is a $99 margarita with 100 year anniversary gran marnier among other ingrediants. This is Mexican dining at it's best!
- Pros: Incredible food and over 100 different tequilas.
- Cons: Seating can be a little tight in some of the booths. Ask for a full table instead.
