I had made plans to go to the movies the other day and since my friend and I arrived a little befor ethe show started, we decided to grab a bite to eat. Some of the other restaurants in the plaza were either full or closed so we decided to check out 808 Tapas. Ok, so I have to say right off the bat that I am usually hesitant to check out restaurants with numbers in their name. I don't know why, but I was famished and decided to give it a shot.
Holy moly. This place is great! We sat at the bar, ogling over the fresh fish in front of us. We both ordered the ahi salad from the lunch menu. The sushi chef, Yoshi, went to work on it. It's a simple salad but it was bursting with flavor! The fish was super fresh. While we were at he bar, the sushi chf noticed we were speaking Spanish and he asked us where we were from. We told him Mexico. It turns out he was the person in charge of opening Nobu in Mexico city! He told us how he use to work at the Nobu here in Las Vegas and how he was sent down to the D.F. for a year to open the restaurant. We talked a while about the different areas of the city and the great food. Very, very cool guy.
At one point our server came over to ask if we had been shopping for Black Friday. I told him we came to the plaza to go to the movies. He told me if you show them your tickets you get 20% of your bill! Amazing! Our lunch for two ended up costing $14 dollars! For Nobu quality food! We will definitely be returning!
You must check it out!
