Mexican restaurants in Las Vegas

  1. Mi Casa Grill Cantina

    Bouncy Mexican cantina with Gaudi-esque decor has a menu as high-priced as the Tequila Temptress’ outfit is low-cut. Come for happy-hour drinks and snacks.

    Tacos & Tequila

    Edgy industrial design and a mischievously black-curtained photo booth pull rock ’n’ roll crowds upstairs to this insanely popular taquería. Hot-tamale bartenders and tequila temptresses pour shots and pitchers of sangria, while Sunday brunch brings live mariachi bands.

    Isla Mexican Kitchen

    Bold art enlivens the walls of this invention by Mexican-born chef Richard Sandoval, who creates a fusion of south-of-the-border tastes, such as guacamole with a twist of mint, and lobster spiked with serrano chilies. Call on Isla’s tequila goddess to help decipher the bounteous menu of agave elixirs.

    Pink Taco

    Whether it's the 99¢ taco and margarita happy hour, the leafy poolside patio or the friendly rock and roll clientele, Pink Taco always feels like a worthwhile party.

    Hussong’s Cantina

    This Baja-style cantina brings rowdy, south-of-the-border attitude to Mandalay Bay’s mall. The original Hussong’s down in Ensenada claims to have invented the margarita, so trust the drinks here will be knock-outs, especially when served in skull-shaped glasses. Tacos, nachos, burritos and other Mexican-American standards make up the wooden signboard’s menu.

    Agave

    A whimsical Mexican cantina, Agave is a treat not only for the tongue but also the eyes, with colorfully contoured adobe walls, floral-patterned lime-green booths and pressed-tin ornaments hanging from the high wooden ceiling. Highlights among its nuevo Mexican fare are rock-shrimp tacos with chipotle cream and barbecued duck quesadillas. Tequila flight menus are perfect, especially around sunset.

    Dos Caminos

    Whether you’ve got a boisterous party or an intimate date, this sexily reinvented Mexican restaurant is the ideal place for lounging, with its low-slung tables and sofas and a long list of specialty cocktails and tequila flights. Linger over queso fondues, spicy seafood seviche and chili-rubbed meats a la parilla (from the grill). Weekend brunch brings tacos, huevos (eggs) and blueberry-corn pancakes.
