Tacos El Rey! I learned of this excellent Mexican food/restaurant. February 2016 from a Target employee. This is not Americanize Mexican food !
At that time I had the Huevos Ranchero is excellent and served not how we're accustomed to. This establishment makes all their food from scratch. There is nothing poured from a can per se.
The tortillas, sauces, meats, and beans are cooked daily. Along with ingredients for your tacos, etc. It was the first place I wanted to have dinner after arriving and checking in Las Vegas!
Roberto who works here as a chef served me: fresh made salsa, both of different heat. The hot of the two, Has the of pop hot, yet was subtle. It doesn't overwhelm the senses.The othe salsa, was rich in flavor, with the texture of the chiles, onions cooked with homemade red sauce. It's not thick like a puree density. I noticed this as well as the other salsa. The chips are homemade corn tortillas cut into wedge. Not greasy, with the right amount of crunch!
I ordered the chicken tacos, beans and rice. The order arrived, 3 tacos, comprised of a slightly smaller, yet the tortilla is corn/ slightly thicker. However, it is not dense.
The chicken is fresh and diced, served on chopped lettuce (not iceberg), with some garnish of diced tomatoes. Along with wedges of fresh lime. The Mexican rice is fresh, fluffy and the refried beans are fresh and cooked superbly.
I had lemonade.
This is one of Las Vegas hidden gems!
