This charming Mexican restaurant is far from the Strip, but worth the trip. Locals have been flocking here for years, enjoying the potent margaritas and gourmet Mexican fare that’s prepared with only the freshest ingredients with health in mind. A menu nearly a dozen different types of salsas (on a hotness scale of 1-10) makes a super pre-meal snack. No lard is used in preparing their food; so guiltlessly dig into Mexican-American classics like carne asada tacos or chicken fajita burritos. More refined entrees include dozens of chicken, steak, and shrimp dishes with unique homemade sauces.
