Where to find the best off-Strip Mexican restaurants in Las Vegas - Eater Vegas

"Mariposa offers a contemporary take on traditional Mexican and South American food. The higher-class establishment’s cuisine is far from casual. Crab and lobster enchiladas, mole braised short ribs, and honey-glazed shrimp burritos help anchor this fusion fare with a classic taste of Mexico at the core. Cocktails such as the Prickly Pear Paloma and a happy hour DJ make this place better suited for a date night or a ladies’ night. Mariposa is about as high energy and la-tee-da as they come." - Toni Gonzales, Janna Karel
