MEXICAN DINING
I have noticed that quite a few restaurants in this category have been cited by the Health Dept. So, check the health rating before you go. A couple of them had to close their doors because of excessive numbers of demerits.
Baja Fresh
At the Excalibur, 3850 Las Vegas Bl. SW., 702 597 7777
The name says it all.
OKBlue Iguana
Circus Circus hotel, 2880 S. Las Vegas Bl. Tel: 702-734-0410 (hotel), 836-6526 (restaurant)
Specializing in margaritas. There must be at least 30 different that can be had. Otherwise a regular Mexican restaurant. Moderately priced menu.
OKBorder Grill
Mandalay Bay, 3950 S. Las Vegas Bl. 702-632-7777
Invented by a couple of ladies you might have encountered on one of the food channels. Susan Feniger and and Mary Sue Milliken. Refreshing and light decor, excellent food with a different twist. Be prepared to spend a few bucks. I would not call their food creations out and out Mexican per se, but more of a Southwestern and Mexican fusion type cuisine. There is an extensive menu with lots of selection, but the main point is that someone in the back knows how to cook. Everything we have tried is flavorful - even the leftovers were good cold the next day. Dishes like the Too Hot Tamale assortment and the Portabello Mushroom Mulitas are typical - a lively variety of flavors as interesting as the spirited decor. The red salsa served with your chips is always a good indicator of the overall quality of the meal to come; here it is flavorful and moderately hot, with good smoky chile flavor. The outdoor dining area is at the edge of the jungle-like Mandalay pool area and has built-in entertainment in the form of the jogging track, good for people watching. A fun experience and a flavorful meal.
Dinner Mon. - Thu. 11AM - 10PM, Fri. 11AM - 11PM, Sat. 10AM - 11PM, Sun. 10AM - 10PM. Res.702 632 7200.
OKCasa Flores
Moderately priced Mexican restaurant right in downtown Boulder City. The food is a bit shakey and so is the cleanliness.
so-soCabo
at the Palace Station Hotel, 2411 W Sahara Av., Tel: 702-367-2411
Unusual set-up. You can dine off the menu or partake of the buffet which runs simultaneously. Food is decent for the price and a huge salsa bar is included. Actually, come to think of it, I rather enjoyed my meal there last time.
so-soChapala's Restaurant
3331 E. Tropicana Av. Tel: 702-451-8141
Quite an ordinary restaurant. It is close to WalMart, actually somewhat past it on the South side of the Av. when traveling east. Rather simple and plain. Does not warrant a special trip really.
so-soChevys Fresh Mex Restaurant
 1300 W. Sunset Rd. Henderson (in the Galleria Mall)
Nice decor and good service. Very nice bar area with good nachos. The food is adequate with moderate pricing. Drop by if you are in the vicinity otherwise do not make a special trip. This type of food can be had almost anywhere in town. Decent happy hour in the afternoon where you can fill up for cheap.
Check this health report! And to think I had some meals there.
China Poblano
At the Cosmopolitan Hotel/Casino, 2708 Las Vegas Bl.S. 702 698 7000.
Here is an interesting concept, a Chinese and a Mexican restaurant all in one . I have never seen this before. They also have two take-out windows, one for each menu. 11:30 to 11:30 daily. Lunch 11:30 - 3:30. 12 or less call 877 893 2003, 13 and up call 877 551 7776.
I guess I will have to give them two listings, one for each menu.
Diablo's Cantina
Monte Carlo, 3770 Las Vegas Bl. S. 888 529 4828
Res.and groups over 18 call 702 730 7979
so-soCoasta Cantina
The Orleans hotel, 4500 W. Tropicana Av. Tel: 702-365-7111.
These folks feature a Southern theme in their hotel. I think they are way south here, namely in Old Mexico. This restaurant is decent and moderately priced. A bit away from the strip, in other words mostly visited by locals.
so-soEl Sombrero Cafe
 107 S. Main st., Tel: 702-382-9234
A taste of Old Las Vegas, before the corporations took over. The restaurant is in a tiny old building on Main St. among weekly hotels, thrift shops, artists' studios, trendy cafes and environmentalists.  The seats fill up at lunchtime with lawyers, civil servants and financial folks who work nearby.  Just great homestyle Mexican food, made by a family who has run the restaurant since the 1950's.  The food is flavorful southwestern Mexican fare, with the expected burritos, huevos rancheros, chiles rellenos, albondigas soup.  Portions are sizeable, about $10-$13 per entree.  Menu prices are refreshingly in whole dollars - none of this $-.99 stuff.  A nice escape from the generic glitz of the Strip into the past and present of locals' Las Vegas.
so-soGonzalez y Gonzales
New York-New York hotel, 3700 S. Las Vegas Bl., Tel: 702-7406969

Lindo Michoacan
2655 E. Desert Inn Rd., Tel: 702-735-6828
Friendly little family place not too far from the strip. Average food, good salsas. The reason I mention this place at all is because it is very clean and cleanliness is at a premium in this type of restaurant. On certain days they have a musician (or several) playing romantic music. Extensive menu includes all the favorite dishes and quite a few seafood selections. Yes, there is also roast goat on the menu. Probably the only place in town with that item. Authentic flavor prepared by good cooks. Service and food are not bad for the price.
OK!The Pink Taco
Hard Rock Hotel, corner of Harmon and Paradise, 4450 Paradise, Tel: 702-639-5000 (hotel),
Here is a Mexican style restaurant with a different flair. Just a little pricey but hey, you are at the Hard Rock Hotel. The food is good, the service is excellent and the ambience is great. I had the panuchos at $7.50 plus beverage. When ordering this dish I recommend using the correct pronunciation otherwise something entirely different will perhaps be served to you. Try to get one of the tables poolside behind the greenery. Very cozy and intimate. I paid $9 for a very tasty lunch, some of the other dishes are a bit higher in price.

Their claim to fame are the huge portions and the huge margaritas. Not exactly my bag. If you are hungry and want to put on the old feed bag, hoof it over there. They will assign you a stall and shovel in the grub. Moderate pricing.
