Aroma Latin American Cocina

"For a Latin-inspired evening, this Henderson spot is presenting a four-course menu for $60 per person. Choices include pork belly, hummus tostada, Peruvian ceviche, beef short ribs, and strawberry tres leches." - Emmy Kasten

"Chef Steve Kestler, a veteran of Las Vegas Strip powerhouses Bazaar Meat by José Andrés, Edo Gastro Tapas & Wine, and Bouchon Bistro, earned a James Beard Award nomination for his embrace of Latin American comfort food in this compact Henderson restaurant. Popular items include a too-good-to-share steak sandwich with chimichurri, tender beef short ribs in a stunning and complex mole sauce with spiced corn, and Guatemalan-style enchiladas with Kobe beef." - Janna Karel

"Tucked inside a strip mall in Henderson, this compact eight-table restaurant serves dishes influenced by Guatemalan cuisine. Aroma chef Steve Kestler  — who grew up in Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela — is a veteran of Edo Tapas & Wine and Bazaar Meat and Las Vegas’s solo finalist for the 2024 James Beard Awards. He prepares Guatemalan-style enchiladas that combine pickled beets, Kobe beef picadillo, and salty cotija cheese onto crunchy tostadas. Here, thick slabs of tender pork belly nestle into tacos with pico de gallo, pickled onions, and guacamole, while the Gaucho sandwich marries deftly grilled New York steak with a verdant chimichurri sauce. Aroma marks an exciting entrant to Henderson’s casual dining scene, and with arguably some of the best tacos found in Southern Nevada, Aroma proves that Hendersonites need not travel far to find a stellar taco plate." - Janna Karel
