Las Vegas has a large and long-established Mexican-American community, and the restaurant options reflect this — from traditional Sonoran cuisine in the east valley to modern Mexican concepts in the Arts District. Here are the best options.
Best Traditional Mexican
- Leticia's Mexican Cocina — The locals' favorite for authentic Mexican. Homemade tortillas, excellent chiles rellenos.
- La Comida Downtown — Upscale Mexican in a beautifully designed Fremont East space.
- Lindo Michoacan — Multi-location local chain with excellent birria and mole.
- Casa Don Juan — 24-hour Mexican on East Charleston, frequented by industry workers.
On the Strip
- Cabo Wabo Cantina — Rock-and-roll Mexican, Sammy Hagar's venue. Fun atmosphere, decent tacos.
- Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar — Includes Mexican-inspired dishes. Fun rather than authentic.
- El Segundo Sol at the Fashion Show Mall — Better quality than the Strip norm for Mexican.
