El Bolero

This place is a secret in the Vegas area. This is one of the best tasting Cuban food places in Vegas!! I love the taste!! They have only been open about a month but they have perfected the food! The cook is from Cuba, my wife asked. The service is great! They have plenty of covered outside seating and a few small tables for two inside and a small bar are to eat. Go check them out and have some of best tasting Authentic Cuban food in the area!! You will thank me when you taste it!! Let me know what you think. I'm back and it's still the best cuban food in vegas! Don't let the size of the place keep you from going. Support the locals! Yum!!!!!

So so cute and the food is very authentic. Only downside is limited seating. I had rice and peas, beef stew and plantains and I bought an extra side of yucca. I was craving cafe con leche and decided to take the drive up that way based on online reviews. They did not disappoint. Also, the art work and decor inside and outside is detailed and reminiscent of Cuba, Miami and the Caribbean. It’s like your little happy place away from the strip and all the craziness Las Vegas has to offer.

First time trying Cuban food, good portion, service great and food excellent.

First time visiting this restaurant with my family. Definitely would NOT recommend going there. First of all, as we entered, the entire restaurant had a horrible smell of drains. Their closing time is 9pm, we entered around 8:20pm. I've ordered a fried fillet fish and the cook started working on it right away... she had just turned on the friers as it looked they were ready to close. I ordered with rice and beans. My boyfriend had lamb and pork meat with rice and beans. They only had one set of utensils clean, and we had to wait for a second one which were wrapped in some type of paper towel and not napkins. The fork that was given to us tasted like raw fish. As we began eating I noticed that my fish was raw and politely told them at the register. The lady asked me if I want for her to drop my fish to cook more which was already TOUCHED by me. This is something the health district should definitely review!!! After answering rude, they asked the owner if they could remake my fish and the owner tried to make up an excuse about the raw fish. Obviously the cook had NO idea how or how long to cook the fish. The rice was dry and cold. It has stayed there the entire day probably from the taste of it which again, some health issue. They asked me if I wanted lemon, and handed me a not fully sliced lime, not packaged. As we were seated at the high chairs facing outside we could see reflecting of the window the owner walking around the food line and EATING!? So gross and unhygienic. Owners child was walking around the line as well. NEVER returning here.

Saw this place while eating at Snappy burger and wanted to check it out. Great place to stop by for a large plate of Cuban food. We ordered the ropa vieja combo (shredded meat) w/ black beans+rice & plantains 10/10⭐️. The ropa vieja had excellent flavor, very tender & juicy and went perfect with the beans/rice. We also got the Cuban sandwich that had a good crusty bread, shredded meat & ham + fresh fries 8/10. The pina colada drink was delicious and so were the fruit empanadas. The place seemed very authentic. Staff was super nice, greeted in Spanish… seemed like a small family business. Two large tables outside & just a few seating areas inside (but it was very warm inside). Highly recommend coming here. I will be back to try the other meats.

One of the best Cuban food I've had in Las Vegas I had to go a second time and was not disappointed. My Cuban friend approved 100% on the food. Desserts were nothing special but the food was amazing 🙌

My first time here at El Bolero. Delicious roast pork with the highlight being how moist, fork tender and delicious it was. They even included some crunchy chicharron. The rice was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The plantation chips were a nice compliment to everything. HUGE portions of great quality food at very reasonable prices ($12-13). I felt like I was in old Habana. 10/10 highly recommend!!

This spot is a small place and the food and service is really good. The food has so much flavor and the pricing is for sure reasonable. We tried one of everything on the menu and it was all really good. And great customer service.
