Bandito's gorgeous black-and-red space is located just off the Strip, with a sweet Happy Hour deal from 4:30-6:30 featuring half off apps and $5 margs. Recently came in with a group to try a bunch of dishes, and I'm looking forward to going back to try a few more.
The chicken flautas were one of my favorite dishes, with a mild dipping sauce and a flavorful filling. The nachos are served as a giant mountain and worth the upcharge to add protein- the asada was nicely soft but I also liked how juicy the carnitas was without sacrificing crispiness! The quesadillas were also a hit at our table, and the ceviche impressed in that what we initially thought were pieces of giant Peruvian corn were actually scallops. I will do some shady shit for nacho cheese, and I was disappointed to find that the queso fundido was thin and lacked flavor. I'm not much of a drinker but I appreciated that the $5 margs were a full glass rather than the smaller pours I've seen elsewhere. They were out of the octopus when we went, so I'll definitely be returning to give that a shot along with the sope sampler.
