Hussong's Cantina

We had an excellent lunch here! The 'choose 3' combo is the way to go. An excellent way to sample the best Hussong's has to offer. The food was excellent, the margaritas were also very good. They have substantial vegan options as well. The menu told a story on the origin of margaritas and the restaurant. You can't go wrong; great atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food and drink options.

I recently switched to earring vegetarian and it had been a bland experience to day the least. These vegan "steak" tacos are so flavorful and were spot on for texture, spice. This is one of the best tasting meals since making the change. Server was cheerful and helped me quickly. Highly recommend to vege and vegan eaters. Both salsas were so flavorful too.

We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was at Hussong’s Cantina! The shredded beef enchiladas were rich and flavorful—the beef was perfectly seasoned and melt-in-your-mouth tender, wrapped in soft tortillas and topped with a savory sauce. The carne asada tacos were just as impressive. They looked simple, but the grilled steak was juicy, smoky, and packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh and was clearly made with care. The only downside was the atmosphere—it was a bit noisy, and the woman sitting at the table next to us had clearly had a few too many drinks. She was loud and a bit disruptive, which took away from the experience a little. That said, the food more than made up for it. If you’re looking for bold, authentic flavors in a casual, lively setting, Hussong’s is definitely worth checking out!

Wowowoowow this place is awesome Great service, Great food and friendly atmosphere. Regina Q. Was wonderful she was super friendly and got to all the tables with refills in quick fashion. It was amazing to watch I use to be a server and I just had to stop her and tell her she was wonderful 👍 The hotdog was delicious so much flavors in every bite Entire staff was awesome. Thank you for the wonderful experience Will definitely be coming back

Girls night out with my daughter. The service was awesome; thank you so much Regina for all your help! Yummy birria tacos. And I have to say that for a kids bean and cheese burrito, it was really great!! Yep, I had a bite of my kids burrito. Will be back with the entire family. Thanks again Regina for making our girls night out great with all your suggestions and fantastic service!

We loved Hussong's Cantina! The food was amazingly good! We ordered the shrimp enchiladas, carnitas enchiladas, Birria quesadilla, and the salsa was fresh and tasty. Our server, Heather, was great!

I had the most mouth watering salsa here! I would have drunk it but I was worried I would get kicked out. But I took some to go and drank it in the privacy of my hotel room 😀 The veggie burrito bowl was delicious. There is a whole page of vegan options. Great service by Rachel. If you love great food with great service, you have to stop by.

I loved my time at Hussong's. We went on a Friday night, and the restaurant was moderately busy. The friendly staff took us to a high-top table adjacent to the bar immediately upon showing up. Hussong's is a cross between a cantina and your local sports bar. There are TVs everywhere displaying a variety of sporting events. During our visit, they kicked up the cantina vibe by having a mariachi band roam the restaurant and play songs for each table. Don't worry if you don't know enough mariachi music to make a request. The band leader is well-versed in tourist to figure out what to play for you while entertaining you and making you feel at home. As you'd expect from a place like this, your meal starts with chips and two salsas. Both of which are absolutely on point. They also have an extensive drink menu that specializes in margaritas. My wife got the jalapeno-pineapple, and I ordered the jalapeno-cucumber (what can I say, we're spicy people). Both were amazing. Then came the food. My wife can attest to Hussong's having some of the best fish tacos in Vegas. Meanwhile, I couldn't limit myself to just one item, so I picked the combination plate with two enchiladas, taquitos, and a quesadilla. Before you label me a fatty, the combination plates at Hussong's don't come with full-sized entrees, so definitely gauge your hunger level before ordering. All our meals were delicious, though I thought mine came with an excessive amount of sour cream. Alas, the one problem that I have with Hussong's is its location. Sandwiched between Luxor and Mandalay Bay, it's out of the way if you're not staying at or visiting some of the older mega hotels on the Strip. And I wouldn't say that it's so amazing that you have to bypass other Mexican food options closer to you. That being said, if you're in the area, do yourself a favor and have a bite at Hussong's Mexican Cantina. You won't regret it.

Our must have foods when visiting Las Vegas. Amazing food and service as always. Will always return for the atmosphere and margarita.

Hussong's Mexican Cantina food was great and the service was great as well. They served warm chips and salsa to start. I added the guacamole appetizer which was delicious. The quantity wasn't a large portion but it was good. For the entree I had the chicken enchiladas. I had never had the cheese sauce so I had one with the cheese and the other two with green sauce. The cheese sauce was alright. It was basically a white queso so there wasn't a lot of flavor in the sauce but it was still good. The green sauce was really flavorful and tangy. It was served with beans and rice. For the price it was a good meal and I would recommend it

We actually ended up eating here 2 times during our Vegas trip since we had resort credit and if you're staying in a Mlife property you can charge food to the room here. I love their complimentary chips and salsa that comes with 2 different types of salsa: a traditional red and a smoky red. Both are delicious! The guacamole is good here but watch out the habanero mango guacamole is legit spicy!! My favorite menu items are the carnitas enchiladas with green tomatillo sauce as well as their elote (corn) which you can either get on or off the cob. I always get it off the cob since it's way easier to eat that way! The tacos are pretty good here but watch out the BBQ burnt ends taco is super sweet - like too cloyingly sweet where I didn't like it. There's lots of TVs in here so it's a great place to watch sports! The ambiance is super casual and a bit loud. The alcoholic drinks are just average but they do offer a wide variety. We had a 2 servers our 2 times here this trip and Amy was clearly the best! Amy gave us the most outstanding service! Overall, Hussong's is a great choice if you're on the south end of the strip and have Mlife resort credit you want to use. I give it 5 stars for quality of Mexican food the Las Vegas strip but if I was back in Los Angeles it would get 4 stars. But for Vegas and especially the Strip it is a lot better than the other Mexican food restaurants.

Cool little place up the escalator from the Mandalay casino, takes you to a mall! We had no idea even existed! Service was fantastic! Friendly, attentive and fast!! Food was great! Loved the Al pastor chicken tacos! And the mariachi guys! So fun! Definitely recommend!

I'm here on a weekly basis. The food and the service are superb! Sitting at the bar and starting up a quick convo with the bartenders as they give me great recommendations on new menu items is my go to. Phil and Selena hold it down with the Paloma's and Margaritas!!! They even have a mariachi band on Fridays and Saturday!

Stopped in for lunch. We were sat quick , server was on top of it also! Lunch time so unfortunately no margarita but had a Mexican coke. I got the combo platter and all the food was so good! My coworker got fish tacos and was impressed. This is a great option for a quick lunch or dinner! Prices were pretty good for on the strip.

I really enjoyed this place. Their tamales were pretty good! I tried both the green and red sauce with them. We came here with a large party. Our server was very nice and quick. I would come back here again for their Mexican food. Great spot for lunch or dinner!

My family of 5 went for lunch on a Sunday. We had chips, guacamole, elote, beans, and rice-- which were all excellent! The fajitas were really good too! When we went they were very busy and we were still served quickly. They got part of the order wrong, but went above and beyond to make it right. The employees also seemed really happy there. Looking forward to going back for the mariachi band and a margarita in the evening! Would highly recommend. We had a really nice time.

Check your takeout order is correct before you leave or you will have to come all the way back for a remake or only get 0.50 discount.

Absolutely love this place - amazing food. Had the Elote and the Chicken Chimichanga that was simply wonderful. Love their service as well - they actually seem happy to work there as they share their smiles and friendliness. If you haven't been here, you are absolutely missing out. Go get some!

Jane was great! Loved her service! We had a great lunch while visiting Vegas. Drinks were fire!!!!

I'm gonna be honest, I was a little hesitant to go to Mexican food place in Vegas. I live in San Diego and if you know the area, nothing compares to Mexican food in San Diego. We got the mini birria tacos and the nacho with the beef. Both were surprisingly really good. Not like taco shop San Diego style but restaurant style. The pineapple jalapeño margarita was really good with a little kick. Warm chips, fast service and tasty food.

Amazing food and service Irvin was an excellent server! Thank you for an awesome experience!

We were just walking back from Mandalay Bay and heard some Latin music and smelled some good food, decided to pop in. OMG! This is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. It's surprising, bc it's in mall breeezeway area when you're leaving Mandalay... a little hidden gem. Everything from the chips and salsa, the sauces on the burrito and the cheese/spice, everything was perfectly composed. Not being a local, I'm now advocating for hussongs to plz come to AZ!! Sooo delicious

This location is in between Luxor and Mandalay Bay. The service is friendly and fast. Very casual dress code. They offer chips and salsa right when you sit down. I like that because most of the time walking around Vegas gets you hangry. The salsas were quite tasty and not spicy. The entrees came out fast! A little too fast for it to be authentic. The Mexican flavor profile was lacking and the meal was just okay. The signature margarita is just ok. It's got sports bar vibes with flat screens around the bar. Good place for an appetizer, beer, cocktails and a quick meal.

Our server was great . If the review was strictly on service it be 5 stars but it's not . The complimentary chips and salsa weren't anything to remember , the salsa had no kick to it at all . The al pastor chicken tacos were ok but as soon as it came to the table and I picked up my taco the tortilla ripped apart . The refried beans weren't good at all , too chunky for my taste , I prefer totally smashed refried beans . The highlight of the place was the 64 oz shareable romance margarita . Tasted fantastic and did the trick of getting a little buzz

This resort has MANY options to choose from. My BFF and I came to Vegas for a girls trip. We needed a filling lunch to get us through a day of walking the strip! We had the award winning green carnitas enchiladas. The tortillas were homemade and not paper thin. Lots of flavor! The house margaritas were perfect! They tequila was prominent!

Had some time to kill before our flight out of LAS so we stopped here for lunch and a drink to calm my nerves (I hate flying). Jane was very attentive, a pleasure to deal with and made some of the best drinks we've ever had. Will definitely be back next time we're in town. Make sure you go see her!

I have to say that the chips and salsa are top notch I Ordered some nachos with beef. This came out quickly. Oops. Cheese sauce? Pulled beef loaded with salty sauce? Quite disappointing especially given the chips and salsa I cannot recommend this dish. HOWEVER I did order the flan which was delightful.

We came here for a quick family dinner and the waiter was very helpful. He gave us thorough details about some of the menu items and was pleased with the food and the service. The kids were able to where little messages on the wall and it was fun!

They were short staffed, so we sat at the bar. Chips were stale and the red salsa tasted bad. Mussels were delish and the 4 item plate is large enough to share. Cheese sauce is legit! Swirl margarita is fantastic.

Nice casual quality mexican food in the mandalay shoppes area. Mini birria tacos 4/5: juicy, savory tacos. I wosh these were a bit hotter in temperature and a bit more crispy. The consomme that came with it was delish. Elote: steamed well and what i had expected for an elote. It was refreshing to eat. Shrimp Enchiladas - sauces went amazing with the enchilas, you can mix and match which sauces youd like. The shrimp was also cooked very well, plump and bouncy but tender! Beans and rice were great filler sides. They provide free chips and salsa and i devoured those too. Service was good, they are busy here but definitely making an effort

You can never go wrong with Mexican food We tried Hussong's while staying at Delano since they are located inside Mandalay Bay up the escalators, and I can say they def did not disappoint Complimentary chips and salsa were served when we were seated and we ordered an esquite for our appetizer For the entrées, we chose the carne asada plate and wet carnitas chimichanga Both dishes were full of flavor and the sauces were so good that I had to ask for extra It also had a little bit of kick to it which went so well with all the meat As for the esquite, I can say it was the best one I had thus far Our server was very attentive and friendly and the interior felt like a cantina which I really liked Loved the vibes here This restaurant is def a place I would revisit when I'm in town again

Good spot at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. I liked that the menu was authentic style Mexican food and not this new upscale version that is all over Vegas. The place itself is kind of a dive, but that is actually a selling point as it was welcoming and not at all pretentious. The menu was typical for traditional Mexican food and the flavors were decent, if not just a tad on the mild side. The enchiladas were the house specialty and I liked the red and green sauces that were offered. I recommend the guacamole as an appetizer. Last but certainly not least, they have a live band that works the room and completes the entire experience. Not bad at all and definitely a fun time.

We came to Hussong's on the recommendation of some people we met in the spa at our hotel. We were at Mandalay Bay to attend Michael Jackson the One. It was busy but tables were available. We were seated within 5 minutes. It's a busy noisy place. There was a 3 piece mariachi group walking around singing to diners (for tips!). They added to the ambiance and authenticity of the place. We ordered ceviche and a tostada salad. The salad was so unique. It was layered with hard flat tostado shells, refried beans, finely chopped lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, black beans and cojita cheese. The salad was tall with several layers of this. It had a fabulous dressing that it was tossed in. It was supposed to be jalapeño based, but it tasted like spicy mustard. So unique and flavorful!

Best Mexican in Vegas, hands down! Loved the overall vibe, decor and location in Mandalay Bay. The service was phenomenal, never had to ask for refills, they were on it! Ordered the street birria tacos- omg. Elote corn was delicious and the other tacos were fantastic as well. GREAT place, great margaritas and very fair pricing!

Came here for dinner right before our Michael Jackson ONE show since it's right next to it (in Mandalay Bay). It's really spacious with lots of seating so easily accommodated our party of 12. Jarred was our server and he was the highlight and made our experience here phenomenal! Our food came out fast, he regularly checked up on us, and so friendly and attentive! Even gave us complimentary dessert of vanilla ice cream and churros as well as several corn appetizers (free with yelp check-in). As for food, everything was solid with generous portions. Most of us ordered the two taco combo plate (you can mix/match your tacos and comes with rice and beans). The burnt ends tacos was the clear favorite. This is a great Mexican food option in Mandalay Bay!

Location: located inside of the Shoppes at Mandalay Bay, it was easily accessible to us during our stay at the Delano. Reservations: I was able to use their website to quickly make a reservation to ensuring seating occurred at a convenient time for my party. Menu: items for accommodate most dietary needs. Vegan friendly items were available. Good: Fresh ingredients in both food and cocktails. Be mindful if you have lime and other allergies typical with Mexican cuisine. Ingredients are clearly indicated on menu. Complimentary salsa and chips. I used my Yelp free item to try the street corn. Due to large brunch a few hours earlie, I opted to only have the mango habanero guacamole. Looks like a small bowl but as I continued eating I realized it had a little depth to it. The habanero will sneak up on you in random bites. Definitely a favorite menu item of mine. BlackBerry mojito was refreshing. Imagine my surprised as I'm eating to see a live Mariachi band making their way to surround the table to sing happy birthday to me. They were truly amazing and sang a few additional songs. This really elevated our dining experience.

Hussong's Mexican Cantina is a great option for Mexican food if you are in the general area. Las Vegas has some great restaurants and this one is definitely worth checking out. The semblance is not all that different from other restaurants in Las Vegas. It looks like a lot of restaurants here have a similar ambiance and that's neither good nor bad, but rather more of a statement and/or observance. The service here was definitely top-notch and added to the overall experience. The food here was definitely good and if you are a fan of Mexican food, here is a good place to check out. I guess they are claiming to be the inventor of the margaritas, so that's a thing, as well. I cannot say that this is true or not, but I also can't say that it is a falsehood, but it is their claim. All in all, I would definitely recommend Hussong's Mexican Cantina and I will give it five stars.

David O. was fantastic! Super personable and attentive. He got us our food in record time! Everything was fresh, and I'd come back just for the elote.

Not too much not to like about Hussong's. If you like your Mexican food a little on the hot side, then this place would be a good answer for you, and so would there Relleno. This was one of the recommended items on the menu. It's a bit on the hotter and spicier side but not too much. The bell pepper is fantastic. The beans and rice are excellent sides and the meal itself will fill you up. There's a good variety of dishes to choose from. They even have soups and salads. They're known for their margaritas. The hurricane is fantastic. A bit on the "hotter" side if you're will, but spot on good. Two dipping sauces and a bowl of chips get the meal started. Add some terrific guacamole to your dinner for a perfect starter.

This place is super friendly, the food is delicious, the music is festive and there are Baja 1000 pictures and truck parts hanging on the wall. The bartenders totally cheered me up and turned my day around. I will definitely be back here many times over. I had the salmon, which was recommended (as something my bartender eats everyday!) It was grilled and covered in a sauce that was just sweet and salty enough. I completely enjoyed coming in here this evening!

Great food, service, energy. Servers are very nice and know a ton of the restaurants history. THEY HAVE A WHOLE VEGAN MENU! The chicken almost tasted real I was worried hahah. My family loved it as well.

I'll admit that I was ready to be underwhelmed by a Mexican joint in a mall connected to a Las Vegas hotel. But I have to say it was a pleasant surprise. Margaritas, even though served in beer pint glasses, were fresh and well made and delicious, the tacos and enchiladas were seasoned well, and the fried fish was light and not greasy. Salsas were light and flavorful. Plus good service. Mariachi band is a nice touch, although a little loud at times when they are right next to your table. Overall a really solid, happy experience. Definitely would recommend and come back.

There are hundreds of restaurants to choose from in Las Vegas and one that won't ever steer you wrong is Hussong's. The variety is fantastic, even a full vegan menu! And the service is always great. This current visit we had the luck of sitting in Rachele's area, she was very personable and accommodating. We hope to see her again on our next trip!

Of course this place is convenient because it's inside the casino. But, the quality and authenticity just wasn't there. For Vegas, they need to stay open longer. Churros and salsa was the star of the show for me! If you can get out and travel across the street to the taco shop, that's the ticket on a taco Tuesday. And I swear the lights were so bright in here!

Super Bowl madness with the NFL Experience in Mandalay Bay. Hungry. Tired. And headed to this goldmine. Food is excellent. Affordable. Vibe is amazing as you imagine this weekend. And the staff is friendly. Despite the rowdiness. Saira was awesome, she's the five star. She served us fast, upbeat, and continued to check in on us. Thank you Saira.

I just to come here all the time because the potatoes with chorizo were fire ! So delicious but this time I realized they change the chorizo, i really dislike it when restaurants change the recipe because we come back for the same flavors , please make chorizo potatoes great again! Great service, great ambiance. And they do serve free chips and salsa

Enjoyed the lunch I had here on my last day in Vegas. You get a free elote when you check in on Yelp. The chips and salsa was underwhelming, which made me nervous for the rest of the food. But everything else was good! The star of the show was the chicken quesadilla. Highly recommend. Didn't get any drinks, but they have an array of margaritas as well. Food was affordable and we received great service.

What's not to like about Hussong's Mexican Cantina? None so far based on my experience. The food was great! The Guacamoles were superb! The free nachos were warm, crisp and fresh and come with salsa and chili dipping sauces. The Carnitas Tacos absolutely delicious and so was the salad. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we had. No leftovers. Lol. The service staff are fast, cheerful, and attentive. It's in Mandalay Bay which is becoming my one of my favorite places to go for food nowadays because of the variety of eating places there. Hussong's Cantina is one of their more casual restaurants that serve delicious Mexican food and also have a good selection of cocktails and beers! Check this place out hungry folks! And don't forget to check-in to get your complimentary Elote.

At Mandalay Bay...service was fine. Food was okay. Their chips & dip = awful chips. They get them from a giant bin where the chips have just been so tiring all day--are not made fresh and taste old and are hard and practically stale and cold. Yuck! We really compared it to the super awful Wahlburgers next door and the pizza restaurant Slice of Vegas pizza kitchen that was extremely overpriced. As for just a Mexican food place, it was also just okay. What really stood out most was how filthy the place was! I had to take photos because it was too much, especially being seated right in the filth--food stuck on walls and their so favorite memory photos. You would think they could clean once in a while but there was food you could tell that was layered and super old, old, and very old. Gross when you want to think you are eating freshly made food.

Came here for dinner and first off, the music is so loud you can't hear anyone in your party. There were people next to us, and they were SHOUTING to each other because it is so loud. Secondly, the food is mediocre. The portions are so small, there is no way they offer to-go containers. I ordered a 3 item plate, and each item were so small. I posted a photo to kind of show the size of each item compared to a normal sized dinner fork. And what is with the beans? Tasted like they heat them up inside of a plastic container and that's all you taste. *I also forgot to mention I ordered chicken tacos and one came out as shrimp. The service was good, the food wasn't. Go for drinks and maybe an appetizer, but for dinner, just skip.

Our waitress at this restaurant was super nice and our beer was delicious. However, our food came out extremely cool. We are not people that will say anything... sort of it is what it is, but if you are reading this, make sure your food comes out hot. Like I said, the beer was yummy. Not a good start to cheer week.

Hard to understand how this place gets 4 stars overall. Went here with a group. The food is mediocre TexMex at best. We ordered three guacamole at $11 each. About 3/4 of a cup in a bowl came out, but was barely eaten by the group of teenagers. Just not very good. Chips are over salted. The other food is pretty basic and standard.

We came here on a whim because our son was craving Mexican food. We had such a great experience with David as our server. He recommended the enchiladas for us and made our dining experience so pleasant and was so kind and patient as he took our children's order (after much contemplation). Our kids thoroughly enjoyed their cheeseburger and bean and cheese burrito. We will definitely be back! Thank you! :)

This spot is small but the food was delicious! Complimentary chips were warm & toasty. Both me & my boyfriend had the shrimp tacos & they were the best shrimp tacos i've ever had! I get shrimp tacos basically anywhere & these are #1. I was already planning on getting shrimp tacos but our waitress even suggested those as well. We got seated right away & our waitress was very nice & helpful with any questions we had about the menu. I will definitely be going here when I come to back to Vegas.

I used to love this place but it had Gone down in quality. Watch out they add tips to your bill and bring the hand held with another 20% suggested tipping.

Gotta give these guys props for a pretty damn good Mexican lunch. I had chile relleno and I highly recommend it. Service was friendly, got sports on TV all around, bathroom around the corner down the hall. Nice bar, too. Check it out.

Actually one of the more reasonably priced restaurants located on the strip in Las Vegas. Does not seem like many people know about it, which is good for getting fast service most times of the day. Food 4/5 - not the most amazing Mexican food, but definitely hits the spot - everyone gets chips w/ two types of salsa (pico and verde). free chips and salsa are always a plus. - large portion sizes, so you'll definitely be left full afterwards. Might even have enough left over for the next day - it gets an additional star for the vegan options on the menu. - Chimichanga's were my favorite - the elote is alright. Yelp had a coupon for it. Service 4/5 - quick and fast service - friendly staff - very accomodating Ambience 3/5 - nice decor - good for conversations - good for small groups - lots of TVs so you can watch sports while you eat.
