| - We often golf at Desert Willow, and pass this restaurant on the way home. One day we stopped in for lunch. We sat at the bar, which along with a portion of the dining room, overlooks the valley and the strip. Views are beautiful, and I bet at night, it is really amazing. Being gambling degenerates, we threw a couple of $20s in and the machines are very tight! We asked the bartender if they are always this tight, and she said "Someone hit a royal a couple of weeks ago", well, that is pretty tight if you ask me! So gambling there = no. Now for the service, very good. Attentive and very friendly bartender, and since we were foolishly gambling, the drinks were on the house. And the food... my husband ordered the Sopa 7 Mares, which is a seafood soup. It was loaded with beautiful seafood and was really good. I ordered the Menudo, which is a tripe and hominy soup. The interesting thing is that they don't put hominy in the soup unless you ask for it added, which I found very odd. But it was good after they brought me a bowl of hominy to add.
We went here again with some tourist friends, and sat in the dining room overlooking the strip. Pretty good food, but I have to be honest, not the best. I am from San Diego, where there are no shortage of excellent Mexican restaurants. This place doesn't compare to any of them. And the prices are quite high for what you get. We haven't been there since, and probably won't return.
