| - OMG! Best Mexican food we've ever had. Hubby made reservations as it was Valentine's Day and we weren't sure how busy they got. We walked in and were greeted immediately. The host was very friendly and led us to our booth. The place is nicely decorated with flags, wood carvings, and brass decor. A mariachi band played great music in the background and they had us dancing in our seats within minutes. =]
Our server, Oliver was very helpful and attentive. He brought us some chips, salsa, and bean dip. We also ordered Tamarindo juice and Jamaica juice. Both were delicious and not to sweat. We decided to start off with guacamole, which was brought immediately to the table. They prepared it right in front of us using fresh avocado, lime juice, cilantro, onions, and tomatoes. Oliver asked if we needed help with the menu and made his suggestions. Hubby finally decided on Buey al Cilantro and I ordered Toro a la Coca Cola. Both of us ordered our steaks medium rare and crossed our fingers. Surprisingly, for a place that claims to have amazing restaurants, Las Vegas falls short when preparing steaks properly.
While we were waiting, we were served fideo soup, which is thin noodles in a tomato based soup. It was delicious and very savory. When the food came out, both of us were shocked at the huge servings!
The Buey al Cilantro is a rib eye steak cooked with cilantro and spices, covered with verde (green) sauce! The steak was perfectly cooked, we were both thrilled. The steak also came with beans, rice, and your choice of corn or flour tortillas.
The Toro a la Coca Cola is cooked in Coca Cola, garlic, dried red chiles, cloves, and secret ingredient. Yum! This steak was also perfectly cooked. The first bite was absolutely amazing. Their steak is tender, juicy, and wonderfully marinated. Their flour tortillas are huge and we had plenty of food to take home!
The employees are amazing. Even those who were not our servers came by and checked in on us. Our beverages were refilled constantly and was never below the halfway line. If management reads this, please recognize Oliver and Marcos for their wonderful service! Our bill came out to a little less than $60. My husband and I had no problem leaving them a $20 tip. We will definitely come again!
