| - I've dined at Max's in Glendale, Ca a few times. I was ecstatic to hear of an opening in Las Vegas. I had my mind set on eating Max's Beef Caldereta (dish served at Max's in Glendale, Ca) with Garlic Rice. Unfortunately, its not served at this location. This location is just serving the basics.
I had the Chicken Sigsig, a Whole Chicken, Garlic Rice and the Halo-Halo.
The Chicken Sigsig lacked flavor. It tasted like mayo mixed with day old chicken and slices of jalapeno. For a better tasting Sigsig , I recommend dining at Cafe Moda.
The Whole Chicken was moist and tender. I enjoyed crunching on the crispy chicken skin. Though, I still don't know what the hype is over the chicken's flavor. My guess it lacked in this chicken.
The Garlic Rice was good.
Lastly, I ordered the Halo-Halo. Delicious! The best in all Las Vegas.
The wait staff were polite and friendly.
By the way, don't ask for water. Its tap unfiltered hard water. Ask for bottled water.
In conclusion, the food is bland and lacks authentic flavor and the menu items are over priced. I wouldn't come back for the entrees until Max's Beef Caldereta is put on the menu to try. For now I'll continue to dine at Max's in Glendale, CA. However, I will come back for the Halo-Halo.
My recommendation for this Max's is to lower the prices (especially when the food is not that good and you are just starting out) and serve authentic food.
