Amaya Mexican Restaurant in Las Vegas 😋🌮🍴

Spent Thanksgiving break exploring Las Vegas with my parents, and we tried Amaya Mexican Restaurant — the same spot where Kendall Jenner attended the grand opening! 😙 The interior is designed like a lush forest — you really feel like you're dining among the trees 🌳. And can we talk about the staff? All the servers were gorgeous and super fit — such a vibe! 💃 Here’s what we tried: 🦞 Lobster Tacos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Packed with black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, and generous chunks of tender lobster. Mixed well inside a classic taco shell — so fresh and tasty! There was a tiny hint of fishiness, but still a win in my book 🫶 🌯 Enchiladas Suiza ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Slow-cooked chicken wrapped in a soft tortilla, topped with yogurt and a tangy green sauce. The chicken had a strong spice rub (it was bright red!), which kinda clashed with the fresh, zesty sauce. Good, but not my fave. 🐮 Birria Short Rib ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The beef was fall-apart tender, simmered lightly — maybe with red wine? — and so flavorful. Served with what I think was corn mash (not creamy potato — yay! 🙌). It came with a special, slightly oily tortilla that worked perfectly with the meat. A must-order! We were super hungry, and sharing these three dishes left us totally satisfied 😌 👩🍳 Other server recommendations (we didn’t try but sounded great!): Charred Octopus Hamachi Mariscos Al Fuego (shrimp tacos!) 📅 Tip: We went for lunch — no wait! But at 7 PM the night before, the earliest table for 3 was 8:15 PM. Plan ahead! ⏳ 📍 Amaya Mexican Restaurant Level 2, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas 3708 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV 89109 Perfect for a flavorful, stylish Mexican meal in the heart of the Strip! 💫 #FoodieReview #MexicanInVegas #LasVegasEats #TravelEats #KendallSpotting #AmayaRestaurant
