| - The fall theatre season has started at UNLV so I stopped here for dinner last night and had a great meal. I did their Thursday Special of the Day, Barbicoa. For $12.95, you get soup of the day - in this case it was an excellent cream of mushroom, the barbacoa, cubes of pot roast that are cooked in Mexican spices, rice, and whole beans.
When I asked about the spiciness of the barbacoa, the waiter said it was a red sauce with a little spice. When informed that I liked spicy food, he said he'd tell them to make it spicier. He did, it was, and boy did I like it. Extra red cili seasonings gave a zip to the dish. The beans were also well spiced and had some wonderful cotija cheese for garnish. The rice was standard Mexican restaurant rice--nothing terribly good nor bad about it. You also have your choice of flour or corn tortillas.
Service was excellent as usual. This is a great place to eat, but it's a bonus when you an have a quiet, enjoyable, and reasonably priced meal before heading east on Flamingo to get to UNLV.
