| - I have been a customer of Tinoco's since he first opened up on East Charleston, connected to a muffler shop (Lenadams Dorris recommended Tinoco's in Citylife in the late 90's, and it was an excellent recommendation). Since then, I have eaten at his locations (all now closed) on Warm Springs and The Arts Factory.
A few incontrovertable truths about dining at Tinoco's to date. You will always get well prepared food. The service will always be friendly (I think many staff are family and friends). He will always have his signature dishes available, prepared well (Sea Bass with potatoes and spinach, Pasta with blackened shrimp, red pepper sauce and peas, and excellent house salad with bleu cheese and candied pecans, pesto rolls, etc...) His restaurants continue to be a good value based on the quality of food served.
The Las Vegas Club locations is very good, menu has been expanded a bit (although I am still not a fan of the 'pallete' tables brought over from the Arts Factory - odd shape, wobbly, depressions for condiments are distracting - but a minor detail). My favorite location remains the now gone original on East Charleston - the notion of this undiscovered gem and such good, simple, well prepared food and good service being offered in this modest location made it special, as it exceeded all expectations.
Tinoco and his team, in my assessment, are valued local restauranteurs who have tried many locations in serving the Southern Nevada community. I applaud his efforts, quality consistency and value.
