Everything about this restaurant was great. Great service, Great food and Great atmosphere, also very clean. So far the best Mexican food we've had since living here in Las Vegas. A must try is there fried ice cream. Highly recommend. Great job . We will be back. Tried Viva Zapata's Mexican Restaurant and Cantina on a whim. Saw the good ratings . So happy we did.

So I’m at the truckstop and I’m hungry for Mexican food. I look on Google maps and I find this wonderful restaurant. Great prices and great food. Very friendly staff. A “must eat” at place. The enchiladas are awesome. Sat at the bar and Ms. Karen took great care of me and made me feel welcomed. I will be coming to this place regularly when I’m in town. Oh, LUNCH SPECIALS!!! Cost me $17 with tip :-)

Guacamole is made fresh tableside. For top-notch Mexican food in Las Vegas, this is the place to go, beautiful decor and exceptional food. New favorite Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas. It rates 4.4 stars. You won't be disappointed coming here. The wait staff was above exceptional, efficient and made sure we had all we needed and never waited. This place really has their act together. Definitely go check them out.

The food is okay. The service, tequila selection and atmosphere are why we like to do and support 😊🤎 Also there's a senora preparing tortillas freshly, by hand. Pictured' Chorizo Taco and shot of Gran Patrón Burdeos Añejo.

Good, very authentic Mexican food! Cozy atmosphere with cool historical decor. Complimentary chips, salsa, and bean dip. The food we ordered was good and of generous portions. It came with a mild tomato based soup, ehich we'd never had before. Delicious tortillas made right in the dining area. Grande margaritas were $23 for strawberry on the rocks, and $19 for house flavor on the rocks. Not very strong for the price. Mas Tequila por favor! Service was muy bueno. We ate here at 6pm on Christmas Eve. The restaurant was moderately busy with a short wait to be seated.

Second time at this restaurant. It is right across the street from the Pilot truck stop. Good quality food, large portions. Great guacamole. Their salsa and bean dip are pretty decent.
