Poor service leads to an early exit

by kdahl

After seeing T&T featured on a Food Network program and passing it at the Luxor during a visit to Vegas, I decided to try it out. Greeted by friendly waitstaff, the restuarant was half empty and we expected to be seated immediately. No such luck. We were told there would be a 10-15 minute wait. Ok...we were fine with that. 25 minutes later, we were sat at one of the worst tables- coincidently it had been empty the entire time we were there. After another 10 minutes without anyone taking our drink order, we left. I'm not sure if they even noticed. When we left the restuarant was maybe a third full. People who had eaten didn't seem thrilled by it, so maybe we didn't miss much. We backtracked our way to Hubert Keller's Burger Bar and had an awesome meal.

• Pros: none

Wash down spicy south-of-the-border dishes with a Monty Mojito or a pineapple-chipotle margarita.

In Short
The explosive T&T offers a bounty of fiery fare, from zesty enchiladas and burritos to flavor-packed flame grilled entrees like carne asada, carnitas, pork spare ribs and sizzling fajitia platters. You have your typical choice of starters-quesadillas, tostadas, ceviches, soups and salads-and tacos galore. T&T offers 13 different taco creations, including fancier versions made with Kobe beef and lobster. Finish with a Morenita brownie sundae with cinnamon ice cream, walnut brittle and chocolate sauce, or fried ice cream with strawberry-pineapple pico de gallo.
