| - The grad student in me is rejoicing for finding a good deal in Mariscos el Tapatio. The money I'm saving here is going straight to coffee to fuel me for more study seshes.
It's a great, small shop inside the am/pm that's run by one man. When I came by, he was sleeping but he woke up when I came by. I ordered 4 carne asada tacos to test the waters of this place. He washed his hands and got to grilling. It was really quick and fresh.
It's got a lot of flavor and the salsas you get are spicy and tasty. It won't burn your tongue off but it's got a nice heat to it. The order comes with rice, beans, and chips which is a nice touch. The tacos themselves are solid. They're exactly what you'd expect a carne asada taco would be and for the price, it's great.
I paid $7 for 4 tacos, beans, rice, and chips. Coming from California, I'm used to $0.50 or $1 tacos, but dang, this is a good deal for the Vegas valley.
Overall, I'm excited to come back and try ceviche, al pastor tacos, tortas, etc. The owner is so nice and friendly that I want to spread the word. Definitely go try it for yourself! You won't leave disappointed.
