Chinitas is located in Summerlin which in a great location on Sahara and Ft Apache. I threw an event here for my nephews birthday on Wed. And it was their Kids eat free Wed. The owner Chanthy was so nice she gave us our private section room. She also allow us to decorate the private room with cake, baloons. The service really exceed our expectation. Food was good and FRESH!! I would certainly come back here with my friend and they also have a full bar!!

It was close by so I had to try it. ordered chicken enchiladas. Loved them. they weren't very busy but I also get take out around 5-6 after work. All and all they are a great restaurant and deserve more business.

Me and my husband ate today Easter Sunday at Viva Mercado Mexican restaurant. Our server Jose Luis was wonderful, attentive pleasant polite and very friendly. We ordered fajitas for 2 which was excellent very tasty and plenty! I highly recommend this eatery to anyone who likes Mexican food. The decoration is authentic and the restaurant is super clean. Ask to be served by Jose Luis, he is best. Mariam

I have lived in Las Vegas my whole life and have never been to Viva Mercados. A group of friends and I decided to check it out for cinco de mayo. We were easily able to make a reservation for about 9 of us. I was surprised on how dead the restaurant was for the holiday but was thankful. On weekends they do a special of bottomless mimosas and sangria. For the holiday they also offered $5 margs and draft beers. 4 of us opted for the bottomless since it was brunch for us. They do offer 3 flavors, pineapple, cranberry, and orange. As for a meal I decided on the combination plate since it seemed like the most decently priced option. I did the chicken enchilada and the beef burrito. I can say I was not very impressed. The chicken was pretty dry and so was the beef. I will say the rice and beans were great though, as well as the cup of fideo that comes with the meal. Service was on top of everything. I did have to knock off some stars because they offer bottomless, but after an hour they no longer wanted to serve us more drinks. I understand time limits. Most brunches we have been to state a time limit (most around 90 minutes). However, these were not stated to us when we ordered which I thought was a bit off for me. I don't mind a limit but tell customers or have them clearly stated on the menu. We all had about 4-5 mimosas each which I didn't find too excessive. Probably wouldn't be back for brunch. But thankful for the opportunity to try them out.

Tuesday afternoon and there was no one there. So service was definitely attentive. The place is a nice big restaurant with lots of space and seating. There is a bar up front with lots of seats as well. The taco salad was ok. The beef was shredded but it came in huge clumps so it was very hard to eat. I'm not sure if they shredded it at all. My husband's was the same. Clumps and clumps of meat. The taste was good on both our meals. For me I do like a a taco salad to me more of a salad. This had so much meat in it it was more like a protein bowl. But I'm sure a lot of people would prefer more meat than anything. Would go back to try some more dishes. The meaning was nice so there are plenty of things to try. I prob wouldn't get the taco salad again but will try something else. Anyway ... that's what was happening in my mouth. But you try it and tell us what was happening in yours.

Well I'm very disappointed. Came to dinner with the family and inside is very nice. Place was busy but had empty tables. We order drinks and everything was great. We waited 45 minutes and still no entrees. Waiter said we were next. Another 20 minutes and still nothing. After waiting over an hour my grand daughter got her cheese quesadilla. The rest of the food trickled in and my wife's meal was cold and my shrimp had fish and scallops in it. I wish I could give them 5 stars but with the food cold and so long to get the food. I think 3 stars is generous. Hope next time is better.

This is a nice little Mexican spot. Located in a strip mall by the lakes, I like coming here because it never seems very busy and the service is pretty good. The guacamole always taste freshly made and the chips are nice and hot. Quite a nice selection of tequila can be found here as well. So next time you want a low-key spot to grab some tacos and drinks, I highly recommend this little hole in the wall.

I love this Mexican restaurant. Food & drinks are always delicious. Best Happy Hours. Service is awesome. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a fun Mexican restaurant with delicious food & drinks.

Great local spot. Very authentic Mexican food. We always sit at the bar when we go there and always get good and friendly service. Salsa is always freshly made and very tasty. Fajitas are really good, had the tacos a few times which are great but I believe the fajitas are better. For me at least. Never crowded, plenty of parking because it's in a strip mall. In a corner spot so it can be harder to find. Looks like a small place from the outside but when you walk in, it opens up big time and surprising how large it really is. Love the local spot!

Outstanding service, food and ambiance. This is hands up my favorite Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas! I've been dining here since 2004. Tony our waiter is super friendly and very attentive. Complimentary chips, salsa and warm bean dip to start. I ordered the Carne Asada taquitos and my girlfriend ordered the Basa(white fish filet) with rice and beans. OMG we love our dishes, so delicious! Huge portions, we took the rest home for later. We spoke with the owner on the way out and of course I praised their establishment! Whatever they are doing they are doing it right! Thank you to the staff, owners and the chef! You know I'll be back. Vegas regular!

First time at Viva Mercado's - offering authentic Mexican cuisine. When entering you find that the decor is your basic Mexican style with an open floor plan, offering dinning in the front ( with a few booths & of course table seating & bench seating) - I noticed they have a back room for more dinning along & a separate bar area. We arrived Friday evening before 7 pm without reservation, there were only a few people eating so that was probably a sign of what was to come. Our group was 6 people total 4 adults and 2 children. We were seated right away and like any Mexican restaurant we given the usual chips and salsa, but they also served a really good bean dip, ( the salsa was average at best, I dont think it was homemade & to me it tasted heavy on the tomato side like spaghetti sauce with some Mexican flavor - ugh (disappointing) So we stated with Margarita's (the house Tequila was not very good) I had asked for Patron in my drink and that was decent, but everyone who had the house Tequila didn't like their drinks. Basically avoid the House Tequila As far as the food goes everything was delicious, authentic flavors and good sized portions, my only issue was that not everything came out hot, (with the exception of the Fajitas) some plates were only warm at best. With regards to service it seamed they were under staffed, I felt we were waiting long periods for drinks, chips, water, napkins ect.... Once we placed our order It took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive - so the service overall was not very good, but I have say that our server Julian was super friendly and nice taking care of us as best as he could. The prices here were kind of high for Mexican food - most dishes were over $20. Our total bill with tip was over $200 - again 4 adults and 2 children. To be honest I really wanted to give this place a high rating but there was too many failures - slow service, high price, cold food, bad drinks ect...- Viva Mercado has the potential with the quality & taste of their food to be really good - but some of the main things that make a good restaurant just didn't come together - at least for our visit. I don't think we'll be back, maybe other people feel the same way since we were able to get a table at 6 pm on a Friday night without reservations. Cheers Everyone. No

Perfect Friday evening family meal! Margaritas were solid, food was plentiful and fantastic, service was friendly and efficient, restaurant was clean and welcoming. What more could we want, fair prices??? Well, ok, they delivered that too! Shortly after being seated, which was right away a little after 6 on a Friday evening, server asked us how we'd like to get our fiesta started. Hubby and I went with margaritas (house signature for me, fresh mango for him) and SIL asked for Tecate, but they didn't have, so she opted for the recommendation of a Victoria brand with a cold glass. She hadn't heard of Victori, which is brewed by Modelo, but she said it was very good and was happy with the recommendation. Food was served hot and it was YUMMY! First off, I was craving a tostada with a delicious flour shell, but I also wanted it to be light, not weighed down with bean, rice, and dressing. I was so pleased to see on the menu that, not only could I get tilapia on my tostada, but I could also get it on a bed of grilled garlic vegetables $15. I have never seen this option on a menu before and delightfully ordered it. I was not disappointed. Fantastic flavor, hint of smokiness, fish tender and fresh. The flour tortilla shell was light, crisp and fresh, tasting like it had been made that day, rather than made a few days in advance and sat on a shelf - yes, that happens at some restaurants where tostadas are ordered all day long. ¡Perfecto! Hubby had the steak quesadilla and it was the largest we had ever seen. $11 He also thought his dinner was very yummy, steak was tender and cheese was plentiful. TIP: Hubby was going to order just a beef burrito, but they don't have a la carte pricing. He wasn't interested in a full plate dinner, which includes soup, rice and refried beans, so he went with just the steak quesadilla, which was very filling. SIL asked about simple street tacos and the waiter guided toward those on the menu. I didn't really hear the conversation, but I believe she could've ordered 2 and added more if she wanted to, but she opted for 3. With the included rice and beans, she was stuffed to the hills and proclaimed she should've ordered 2 and added the third if she hadn't been stuffed, but she was so hungry! lol Everything was very good, service was excellent and we three left full and happy. Definitely will return next time I'm craving Mexican cuisine in Summerlin! Cheers! "CC"

This review is geared toward their happy hour because all other dishes I've tried have been wonderful. The selections on happy hour really fall short which is incredibly disappointing. The service was great as always. The servers are kind, courteous, and prompt as usual. We ordered the taquitos, wings, chicken quesadilla, street corn, and carne asada fries. The wings were soggy and chewy. The honey chipotle sauce was good but all I could focus on was the texture of the wings. The carne asada fries were soggy and the meat was flavorless. All this dish tasted like was the melted cheddar cheese on top. The chicken in the quesadilla was flavorful and we had no complaints. The taquitos were yummy and the flavor was good. Finally the street corn was overcooked but the flavor was nice. It was disappointing because this place has a delicious selection of entrees and combination plates. I am never dissatisfied when I come and order off of their regular menu. The happy hour is not indicative of the restaurant at all.

Wonderful food, Personable service. Longtime family, favorite and we even had our wedding rehearsal dinner there.

We ordered take out for New Years. They offered a delicious salsa variety. My boyfriend likes his salsas ridiculously hot and they definitely met that expectation. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The order was made quickly and was more than enough to feed our party. Best Mexican food I've had in Las Vegas in a long time.

One of our favorite local spots. Great service and always happy with the food. Great chips and salsa, make sure to ask for the grilled peppers and onions on the side. Fajitas for two is usually our go to.

My first ever experience with Viva Mercado's Bar & Grill! Not my side of town, so this was truly an "off chance" of stumbling upon this place. However, I was a little nervous when walking in and only seeing two people seated on a Saturday afternoon. The service started a little slow, but the unique warm chips, excellent salsa, and warm bean dip quickly got me in the right frame of mind! The Patron margarita with Grand Mariner float didn't hurt either! The steak and chicken fajitas were outstanding, delivered sizzling to the table, and perhaps enough to feed an entire army! There was plenty of meat in these fajitas, unlike many places that hide the meat amongst the mountain of onions. I left thoroughly impressed with absolutely everything about this place, and I let the owner know on the way out that I would visit again even though this is not as convenient as I'd like for it to be!! Truly one of the best Mexican restaurants in Las Vegas!

To the manager, chefs on the kitchen, and the gentleman who tried to help my door dash order, thank you so much for being accommodating! You guys went above and beyond and I absolutely appreciate it. I suffer from IBS but I wanted to treat myself to enchiladas with no sauce on top. Having more control of the amount helps aid my digestion. And with that order on door dash it is hard to customize. So I truly appreciate you all. You made my evening! Best restaurant in town! Customer service 5star!

Awesome food and drinks. We have been going to Vivas for over 20 years !!! The food is great and the margaritas are my favorite!!!! 5 Stars all the way...

Amber M.

My husband and I really like this place! It was actually the first restaurant that we came to when we moved to the neighborhood over 2 years ago, and we still come here somewhat regularly. I absolutely love their quesadillas, they're huge! The chips, salsa and bean dip are unlimited and they taste great as well. Margaritas are always awesome, and my husband really likes the Chili Relleño and the enchiladas. Service is always friendly and super fast, and it's never too packed. This is a solid Mexican place that I would definitely recommend checking out.

Food was very good, table service not so much. Had to ask for refills on the drink, had to ask for the check. Didn't get the soup that came with the meal

One star because I couldn't leave one. I arrived at 5:30, the rest of my party by six. We ordered at about 615. We ordered food, and a couple drinks. My friend that ordered the cucumber margarita, did not see that until about an hour later. The five of us worked together and haven't seen each other in quite some time. So we did not complain about anything, like nobody checking in on us for over an hour, because we were talking. Once we noticed it had been a very long time and it was getting dark out, one of the party went to ask where the food was. This was about an hour and a half at this point. We were assured it was coming soon. Another 15 minutes goes by and I went into the restaurant myself and told the person at the cash register that I want to cancel my meal because I need to leave. She said she couldn't just cancel my meal, we she would need to cancel the entire tables meal. (Whahhh? Well, OK.) now we're all getting ready to leave and she points at the kitchen and said our food is going to be ready in one second they're just putting it up there. So when he comes to the table, the server that I have not seen in over an hour, the same one who has brought other people their food while we watched them eat and leave, I tell him to just put it in the box because I have to go. I saw his eyes roll into his head. Now it's not my fault that you most likely forgot to put the ticket in, it's not my fault you didn't come check on us. I am so upset at this point because if he would've just said I'm sorry there was miscommunication I got your ticket and it will just be a minute, I would've been golden. But instead, I was met with eye rolls. Then the cashier comes out and gives me a bill for a whole entire meal when all I got were the two enchiladas and beans and rice. She charged me for the soup that I didn't get it. When I told her that, she said well there's nothing she can do she can't take it off of the bill. There were so many things wrong with this meal I could easily go on for another three paragraphs. All I can say for sure is this. I have never in my life not tip someone no matter how bad they were. This was a first. I understand people have a livelyhood, bills to pay, so I try to make it so everybody gets something. No matter how bad. What ended up here, was rude service, making us pay for things we did not get, and not once saying they were sorry for any mistake. If somebody would've just came up to us and admitted they made a mistake I would not have had a problem with it at all. We also got to hear them tell the people at next table that ordered behind us "the kitchen is going to take awhile since it's Cinco de Mayo. Glad that little bit of courtesy was extended to them. I am going to go over my bill with a fine tooth comb. if they owe me any money, I will go over there to collect it.

Tried this place for the first time! Very friendly and attentive staff. Never had to ask for more water and table was cleared as we finished our dishes. Food was fantastic. Pozole packed with pork. Chili relleno stuffed with chicken. Definitely going to make this place a regular!!!

Amanda B.

Yelp
Lovely service from all staff and a nice atmosphere! The Cadillac margarita is sufficient---a bit sweet for my personal liking, but nothing an extra shot of tequila can't fix! The food is better than most Mexican restaurants in the area. I enjoyed my burrito and the carne asada Burracha dinner was okay according to the person I went with. Note: it's like they give you an entire onion and very little else by way of vegetables with the carne asada meal. Would recommend you try this place and be flexible & open minded about what you order!

We decided to try a new place to us for cinqo de mayo. It was a bit busy so the service was a bit slow and we expected that so I still believe they deserved a 5 star. We went with a pitcher of their house margaritas and it was delicious. I almost took a star because the menu was not clear on the pricing of the pitcher. It said the pitcher was $35 but when the bill arrived it was $46. They said because the margarita is $11 and you can upgrade to a pitcher for $11 + $35. It didn't make a whole lot of sense but they were good so no biggie. They brought out chips, salsa and beans. Fresh and delicious. We got the steak fajitas for two and all I can say is WOW! The food was amazing. The steak was seasoned perfectly and there was plenty for both of us. All in all it was a good experience and we will be back.

I will never be back. Was dining here with my friend and her adult special needs child. We were finishing our dinner when my friend's son started having an episode. I'm not going to lie, it was bad, he was making loud noises, nearby tables were giving us looks. I waved the server over and gave him my credit card and asked for boxes so we could leave. My friend wrapped her arms around her son to console him and try to calm him down which was working. While we waited for our server to return, the Manager approached our table with a copy of the check and told us "We cannot allow this kind of crude and obnoxious behavior in our restaurant. I'm going to have to ask you to leave." I have no words. This was the manager. In what world is it okay to refer to a CLEARLY handicapped individual, moreover a guest at your restaurant, as "crude and obnoxious"? I'm still in shock. Please do not support this business.

After last year's almost total loss, I was determined to properly celebrate Mexican-American culture on Cinco de Mayo in 2021. Although it was hard to score a reservation on Cinco de Mayo anywhere in Vegas, I was able to secure a table for four here and met up with in-laws for a veritable Mexican feast accompanied by festive dancing in colorful attire. When we arrived, a dancer was practicing her shawl-handling techniques on the sidewalk next to the parking lot, and then she and her troupe entered the restaurant and began performing soon after we sat down. They were still going strong when we left two-and-a-half hours later. We began with a basket of complimentary warm Tortilla Chips and an excellent complimentary smooth Bean Dip and Salsa. Then we moved on from there with apps of Guacamole and Queso Fundido with Shrimp. The Queso was cheesy and mild with tomato bits and thin but tasty sauce. And the Guac was good but rather bland. Diane enjoyed her usual of a Shrimp Quesadilla, this time with extra cheese, and good Fries. At the same time I created a BYO Combo Dinner with an excellent well-filled and crunchy Hard Shell Shredded Beef Taco and a moist Chile Verde Burrito topped by Tomatillo Sauce (with a spice level of 3 of 10) and melted Monterey Cheese available on request. Refritos and Arroz rounded out this dinner combo, plus great hot included Fideo Soup. And our tablemates very much liked their Machaca con Huevos and vegetarian Enchiladas de Venduras. Our meal was divided into two parts: botanas and entrees. And service was excellent and attentive, including frequent unbidden Iced Tea and water refills. Adding greatly to the celebratory ambiance on this Cinco de Mayo were the energetic dancers and recorded mariachi music.

Meh. Felt like a total waste. Came on Tuesday afternoon/ early evening. Restaurant wasn't busy but I think they were short staffed, which I totally understand given the current circumstances. We ordered, our food took forever like almost 30 min. Which might be fine sometimes but with two small kids, I was kind of just ready to go. Food came. I had ordered carne asada. Which looked more like an over cooked sirloin when I cut into it. The presentation was nice, but the steak was dry and thick. The rice was really salty and so was the soup. I hate to complain but it did feel like a waste of money, esp after waiting for so long and then getting mediocre service and food. With so many good Mexican restaurants as well as fast casual ones in the area/ surrounding area, I wouldn't return. Perhaps we just had a bad experience.

Well, tonight was our last time eating here. This saddens me. This is a place I would want to frequent more often under different circumstances. This place is close to our home and I like the ambience. The kids at the front are always awesome. My husband and I always order the fajitas for 2. They're really good! So, the last 3 times we have been there we have been served by the same man. I looked at our check tonight and I saw his name, but I won't call him out online.. that would be rude and I'm trying my hardest to give constructive criticism. So, here goes... he's not attentive in any way. He has absolutely no personality whatsoever. He got us drinks and our food and we didn't see him (or anyone else) again. Finally, he came over to us to ask if we wanted a box. I had already sat there for 15 mins wanting a soda and a new napkin, but I was so aggravated I just agreed to the box. He never tries to make you feel welcome.. only hurried. This happens every time. We get there hoping it'll be someone else, but it's always him. Why!?!? So, in order not to be frustrated we're not going back. I'm sure you probably don't care. I just really needed to let you know. I can't be the only one...... :(

Tried this place out for the 1st time for a work dinner. I live in green valley so, it was a bit of a drive of course. Atmosphere was a bit loud and the table behind us had a child that was screaming (I mean shrieking) for the 1st half hour we were there...I ordered the dinner plate (picture below) but, I never received my fideos soup that was supposed to come with it & there were 10 of us and the others didn't either. Overall, if I decided to come back I would try lunch instead of dinner & there are much better options in Henderson tbh.

Decided to try Viva Mercado's on Cinco de Mayo for Happy Hour. I check the web site for reservations and it stated the reservations are only taken for 5 or more people. We arrived at 3:30 PM and there were many open tables but we were told they were reserved. I mentioned the web site and was told that the 5 or more does not apply to Cinco de Mayo. We were immediate seated at a 4 person table in the center of the room. We did not get served immediately but once are server Julian arrived he took very good care of us throughout our stay. He was friendly and helpful. The servers were busy but there seemed to be a lack of help in the kitchen as the food delivery was slow. No fault of Julian. The signature Margarita's were excellent. I requested the peppers and onions which went perfectly with the complementary chips, salsa and refried beans. The nacho plate was plenty for the two of us especially after the chips, salsa and beans. The restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere with plenty of decorative wall art. We have added Viva Mercado to our favorites list of local Mexican restaurants.

The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We ordered way too much. Chicken enchiladas, queso, tacos, and soup. Also the chips and salsa are always good. Our waitress and the host were so attentive and pleasant and made the experience amazing. Definitely making all of the return trips.

Stephanie was really nice and welcoming when I first walked in to place a take out order. I asked her what she recommended and she said that she loved the norteño tacos. I ordered it just the way she recommended and I'm glad I did because the tacos tasted really good. Thanks Stephanie for the recommendation and keep up the amazing customer service.

Love the food, menu is very big, venue is nice and the staff are very friendly. Met some good people sitting at the Bar. Margaritas are tasy and bartender keeps them coming. Can't wait for my next visit. Happy hour has food and Drink choices too. See you there.

This review is sorely overdue. However, I wanted to reiterate what I had stated in my previous review and update it for 2022! When the restaurant my family had picked out to eat at was simply too long of a wait, I was pleased because we were so close to Viva Mercado's. I called and asked how long the wait was and was told maybe 15-20 minutes. I let them know our party size and that we would be there shortly and when we arrived, they already had the table set up for us! You know how when you recommend a place and then people don't like it and so you're worried until you know its going well? That was me, since it had been maybe two years since my previous visit with COVID and all! I did not have to worry. Once again, the food and the service was OUTSTANDING. Everyone loved their food and we had a great time. Our busser kept our drinks filled and it was another truly wonderful experience. Being so far off the strip, I don't get here as often as I would like to, but it may just be my very favorite Mexican restaurant of all time!

I've been coming here for 6 years and every time it's phenomenal, I'm a tequila drinker and they seriously have the best selection. There's always some new premium tequila here too that I've never heard of that's fabulous!! The happy hour chicken wings are the seriously the best in town with the homemade habanero salsa. Everyone from the front to the bartenders to the servers are so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this place! It's my home!

Went today for dinner for the first time. Around a 10 minute wait to get seated. Brought our drinks and chips and salsa quickly. Very good salsa. Order a cheese enchiladas combo and a couple potato tacos a la carte. Food took a awhile to come out. Fideo could use improvement for my taste. Cheese enchilada sauce was a little to salty in my opinion. Combo was good as was the potato tacos.

Robert J.

Yelp
Disappointed, I live across the street from this place, I ordered takeout on yelp and the pop-up said it would be 45 to 65 minutes, so I arrived after 40 minutes and it was sitting there just like I thought was just a few people in the restaurant, so it wasn't busy at all. When I arrived home with my takeout orders, salsa and refried beans were upside down and spilled all over the food so there was a lot of cleanup I had to do before we could even sit down for dinner. Since this is the first time I've been to this Viva Mercado I won't rule out patronizing it again but it's a big strike against it, also the food was room temp like it had been sitting there a long time.

This is a great place to have drinks and their food is delicious! Large portions. Flavorful. Their margaritas are delicious and strong. The coronita is a fave. The service is tad bit slow. It can be annoying. And free chips and salsa is a plus, especially when delicious.

Smooth and delicious! One of the better moles I have had in Vegas! All I could think about was when can I return again! Everything down to the chips and salsa were top of the line flavors! I 100% recommend!

We are a regular here , come all the time. The food is very consistent always leave full and happy. Tony is a great server. Always goes out of his way to make sure we are satisfied. We have been coming since the Jones/Flamingo location in the 90's. It is a very family atmosphere. Thanks to everyone.

Just finished up here and the menudo is by far the best since I've moved here. Came during happy hour with my daughter and her chicken tostadas were also the hit! For you Keto folks, menudo would be great to have. They make skinny margaritas too for $6!

The ambience of the restaurant is nice. I went as soon as they opened. It was my first time there. The server brought the warm chips and salsa with the bean dip. Now mind you I did not ask for it. I was only in there to order some soup to warm up. I ordered the Sopa de Fideo which lacked salt and flavor. The server then came over and said that because I ordered the soup that I should not have been given the chips and salsa. And it being my first time I did not know that and they didn't come back to ask me if I wanted anything to drink, nor did they offer me any water.

Ate at the Bar. Jose was Fantastic! Love this place, all the servers are friendly and welcoming. My wife had Chimichanga... enough food for 2 hungry men! I had fajitas- Sizzling & excellent!! Great inexpensive margaritas, and super atmosphere. You know what to expect here- and it's top-rate Mexican Cuisine!! Love Viva Mercados!
