Turtles move faster than the bartenders.

by CSMobileUser2

The food and atmosphere is great but the fact that the bartenders, upstairs and downstairs, are complete d-bags makes me want to never return to this place. It takes way too long to get a drink here, even when it's not busy. Plus, never ask for salt with your patron when your doing a round of shots. You'll be asking to much of your bartender.

Great Atmosphere, Location, & Food

by JenLE82

I went with a group of friends to Diablos in the afternoon. We got great seats on the top balcony and were able to watch all the people pass by on their way to NYNY or further down the strip. I had a few margaritas, which were all very good. The bar tender was very friendly and I never had to stand long to wait for my drink. We decided to order some food after awhile and put our order in with the bar tender. When the food came out, they forgot our chips & salsa, but were quick to correct this issue and apologized. No harm done in the end. This spot will be first on my list for the next Vegas trip!

• Pros: great spot for people watching, friendly staff
• Cons: none

This Place Rocks

by sschneider4711

Diablo's was recomended by friends who have been there before, and I finally wanted to check it out. Great bar scene with hot girls. The hostess sat me and friends right by the strip, (awsome people watching) the foot and drinks were great and they had a great music selection. After we ate, we went up to the patio bar where we spent about two more hours listening to great music and enyoying great margaritas and mojitos. All over all a fun place where you can eat and drink and chill, by over looking the strip.

will be back soon!!!!

• Pros: Great Bar scene

Dont order a drink

by jcr0457

Mar8 2009, The 9.00 smoothy that is called a margaritta is a total fraud. happy hour is also a complete fraud. No resolution from mgmt either. Food was not bad, The service moved at the speed of smell. terrible. Not worth the money

• Pros: food was quick
• Cons: drinks, service

Poor service and overpriced drinks!

by MIWendy

My husband and I go to Vegas once a year and have dined at some awesome restaurants. Diablos Cantina is NOT one of them. We were looking for a fun place to have dinner after walking the strip. The lights and the restaurant itself were very appealing so we entered and were seated. The decor was simple and authentic. Everything on the menu was ala cart. This would be ok if the pricing was accordingly. However, a quesadilla was almost $20.00. Add rice and your looking at $25.00. I personally have never been to a mexican restaurant where the chips and salsa were not brought out right away with no charge. Here you pay for them and any sauces. (I will say the chips were very good.) Our meals were ok but definately not worth the price we paid for them. Our waiter did not come around to fill our water or see if we needed anything. I had to finally get up and go to the bar for a glass of water which was given to me in a plastic cup. We finally received our bill and could not believe they charged us $8.00 a piece for 2 domestic beers that were brought to us in a plastic non chilled mug and were a little better than room temperature. My suggestion go to Taco Bell!

• Pros: Atmosphere
• Cons: Service, food value, drink value

Worse Service EVER

by LauraH213

Need I say more. My parents come in from out of town about three or four times a year. They are very good gamblers at the MGM/Mirage group. They usually stay at the Monte Carlo, but due to some issues (personal not MGM/Mirage group) they stayed at NYNY this time. We have been to Diablo's 3 three times now, and each time has been bad. We go there becuase Mom loves Mexican and we get it comped. Well this last time (yesterday at 1:30 to 2:30P) we went upstairs to sit by the railling to eat and drink. I told the host that we were going to snack and drink. She started to get menus, but then when my dad finally got up the stairs, he said he just wanted a drink so she said sit at the bar. We tried to sit at a table then she PUSHED us out of the table for someone "eating" I had planned on getting nachos, drinks (the four of us all wanted drinks, and alot of them) and other snacks.

It gets better, we moved to another table, not by the railing) and waited for another 10 minutes for a server to help us. We complained that we wanted to eat and was told we could not sit where we wanted because my dad had stated he only wanted drinks. We left and on our way out, I told a group coming in not to eat there and they turned around and left also.

They have angered both a local and a high ranking member of the MGM/Mirage players club. I will tell anyone who will listen not to go there from here on out. I also am boycotting all Light management group places from here on out. I will never eat at Diablo's again, or any of the other Light group places. I feel if you can't make it right for one person, you won't care about anyone else. The service is horrible, the staff is rude and the food is horrible. Oh and don't forget that the upstairs looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a while. Do NOT go there.

Were there servers here?

by baylorwarren

I travel almost everywhere on business by myself - so I get a different taste of life than the couples and groups. I feel you can really tell what a restaurant is going to be like given the service you receive as a single diner. Most places, you can expect to be a little slower, or faster, but you won't get the attention a group would. Understandable.

Here - I was asked if I would mind sitting at a high table in the bar area because the dinner rush was going to happen soon. It was 530- but whatever. I will make them as happy as I can. I sat for 30 minutes before I went back to the hostess and asked for a server. She brought me one drink and disappeared for another 30 before I left a couple bucks on the table and walked. I was so hungry I could have eaten a horse, I'm Central Time, so it was 630 when I sat and by 730 I hadn't even been able to lick the salt off a chip.

The food looked and smelled wonderful. The drink the bartender made was super. Try their frozen signature drinks... Tasty tasty tasty. Service... ick.

• Pros: Great atmosphere. Great place to get the party started or sit in the back with a date.
• Cons: Service around the bar was non existant.

Disappointed

by 117golfer

Arrived in Vegas Wed night excited about this place. Had a 30 min wait had 1 drink at the bar drinks were good. The food i had, the chicken taco's very dry and flour tortilla was hard. Wife had fish taco's said they were ok. The chips were great waitress did a good job. For drinks and chips good place Dinner i would skip. Total bill before tip $ 54.00 should be better for that price.

• Pros: Chips and Drinks
• Cons: Food and price
