Let’s get this over with: Yes, El Dorado is next to a strip club on a less-than-scenic stretch of Vegas roadway. But don’t let its salty environs deter you from digging into the fresh Mexican plates coming from the kitchen—dishes like the chicken mole sampler with three varieties of the distinctive sauce or the Yucatán-style cochinita pibil pork marinated in achiote. And with an emphasis here on GMO-free, organic ingredients, you can feel a little better about absolutely stuffing your face.
Tequila isn’t the only Mexican specialty to be found in Las Vegas. Mexican restaurants both cheap and opulent dot the city, serving everything from the usual fast food suspects—burritos, tacos, the works—to spicy tamales and elaborate carne asada. Our favorite Mexican restaurants in Las Vegas tend to be found off the beaten path, away from the Strip and the best Las Vegas attractions and best Las Vegas shows; neighborhood restaurants short on glitz and glam but big on flavor and friendliness. We’ve scoured every corner of the city to hunt down only the top joints, so enjoy the best Mexican restaurants in Las Vegas—and thank us later.
