| - Taco Y Taco is one of the best taco shops I've tried in Vegas. I like them better than the always crowded and overrated Tacos El Gordo.
My two favorite meats for tacos are carne asada and al pastor, and they do both very well here. The asada is grilled over fire and then chopped, which gives it that great charred flavor. The pastor is shaved off of a rotisserie, and it is always juicy and perfectly seasoned. They have a huge selection of other meats to, and though I haven't tried them all, I do know they have excellent chicken and barbocoa. They also have vegan tacos, though I haven't tried them.
In addition to tacos you can get tostadas and other mexican dishes. One of my favorites is the vampiro, which is like two crispy quesadillas with meat in the middle like a sandwich. If you like crispy, meaty and cheesy you should try one.
The salsa bar could be a bit better and they could have some hotter offerings. The salsas are decent though and the addition of pinto beans at the bar more than makes up for it. I have rarely seen bean dip at a salsa bar but Taco Y Taco is the only place I have ever seen with whole beans at their bar. A very good accompaniment for your tacos.
The prices are about typical for a taco shop, with tacos at $2.50. Their taco size is also typical, so if you have a big appetite your going to spend a little money to get full.
If your a taco lover, this place should be on your list of places to try.
