| - This is one of my favorite restaurants in Las Vegas and I love introducing friends to it. The tapas style menu makes it great for small to medium sized groups. You also get a lot of variety for a very reasonable price. I've tried almost everything on the menu and this is my list of favorite dishes and the ones I'd pass on.
Favorites:
Artichoke toasts- My boyfriend who doesn't even like artichokes, likes this one.
Stuffed Dates- Great flavors and textures. The sweetness from the dates and saltiness from the bacon and blue cheese are such a wonderful combination. The red wine reduction really brings it all together and the almond adds a nice crunch.
Albondigas- Just well done meatballs in marinara.
Ham and cheese croquetas- Fried meat and cheese, it's a little hard to go wrong there.
Merguez- A flavorful lamb sausage served with red pepper and tomato confit. The sweetness from the confit compliments the slightly spicy sausage nicely.
Firefly* fish sticks- Fried tilapia fillets with a great texture and usually perfectly cooked. (Once when they were busy, the fish sticks came out over cooked.)
Fried calamari- Well done calamari served with a garlic aioli. The aioli can be a bit pungent, but not enough to deter me from this dish.
Camarones a la diabla- Shrimp in a sweet and slightly spicy Asian influenced sauce.
Passion fruit mini-cheesecakes- The passion fruit flavor just explodes in your mouth; perfectly tart and sweet.
Pass on:
Tuna peppers- Tuna salad stuffed in marinated sweet peppers. The tuna salad was nothing special, and the peppers were a tad too sweet for this application.
Stuffed peppers- Little peppers stuffed with cheese and topped off with a tomato sauce. This dish was boring compared to the others. It reminded me of not good Italian food.
Crispy duck rolls- Let me start off by saying duck is one of my all time favorite foods. With that said, these were a complete disappointment. The filling in the rolls was so overpowering you could not taste the duck. It really tasted like a bad egg roll. On another occasion my friend, who also loves duck, ordered these and agreed they were not very good.
Paella- This was edible, but certainly nothing to rave about. It was missing that nice crust on the bottom of the pan, and the texture of the rice was a little too sticky for paella.
If you are near the strip and want Tapas, I would suggest Firefly* over Cafe Ba Ba Reeba. The food and prices are better. If you are looking for a pitcher of tasty sangria, choose Ba Ba Reeba over Firefly*. Ba Ba Reeba adds hard liquor to their sangria for a nice kick to compliment the sweet fruity beverage.
