I'm from Houston! Home of Tex-Mex but I think Via Las Vegas just rang the for doing a one up on BBQ Tex-Mex spin
Let's get into my new local Fav YOU HAVE TO TRY!!
When U tell you there are great signs when you walk up to a restaurant and a few things exist. The smell of smoked wood, the lines are out of the door, they have a dedicated To Go station which means they are receiving lots of orders and everyone looks like they came in comfort clothing to loosen the waistband after eating well!
This was my first time here, and to be honest it was other yelp reviews, and TikTokers that brought me to the local favorite. There are a few things they do right and with excellence. We'll start with the small alcoholic drink menu but trust me if you came from margaritas, you only need two choices and they nailed both of them.
Next the food! This is a very simple menu. Meats, Sides, Drinks and desserts. I highly recommend the platters. You get the most bang for the buck at $60 or $100 and to me the smaller platter was for sure enough for 2 w/ left overs or maybe 3 based on how hungry you are. The $100 platter for enough for 3-4 people maybe even 5! Your get to choose 3 meats, 2 sides and we choose the street corn and and the jalapeño mac & cheese.
Now this is not a negative comment, more subjective because clearly the mac & cheese is a favorite at the restaurant. However, when you live in the south one thing you have got to know is the mac & cheese has to be on point. I didn't care for this dish. It definitely gave me Velveta vibes, no butter melted and no real cheddar cheese melted on top. (I would highly suggest a change to the recipe) .. the street corn was good just a little too much mayo but still I would suggest it .... let's get to the best part! The MEAT
Man let me tell you smoked to perfection, excellent flavor with no sauce, seasoned perfectly, tender ribs, meaty, the chicken smoked and tasty and fall apart brisket. They gave about 4 choices for sauce on the table and while it was not needed the sweet n spicy was so Good!!
Now to top off a hearty meal and great margaritas, they have their own version of homemade dessert. We ordered the bread, pudding and the banana pudding. Someone makes banana pudding from scratch. I was definitely a little hesitant because most restaurants make banana pudding from a box. This one however I highly recommend as it is served made from scratch with warm churros for that Tex mix twist! We left absolutely STUFFED!
Not only is this a local favorite for those that live in Las Vegas if you happen to be visiting Las Vegas, this is an excellent restaurant for groups. They do have a small amount of seating so be prepared to wait for just a little bit on any given night. It's a lively atmosphere, super casual come as you are including sports attire and be prepared to loosen that waistband
Great job Humo Y'all Come Back now ! Ya Hear
