You know those places that aren't trying to reinvent the wheel, but somehow they just do the classics better than anyone else? This is that taco spot. While it might not have the flashy, gourmet menu of some trendy eateries, it has perfected the art of the simple, delicious, and satisfying taco. It's a hugely popular spot in a city full of taco joints, and for good reason.
What immediately stands out is the consistency. Every time I visit, the tacos are exactly what I've come to expect: fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The tortillas are a highlight—soft, warm, and with a light char that makes all the difference. The meats are always cooked to perfection, whether you go for the classic carne asada, the tender carnitas, or the perfectly seasoned al pastor. They don't try to be overly fancy with their ingredients, but every component, from the finely diced onions to the fresh cilantro, is of high quality.
The simplicity is what makes it so good. They focus on a small, core menu and execute it flawlessly. You won't find 20 different kinds of tacos, but the ones they do have are absolute staples. Their salsa bar is another reason they stand out. It's clean, well-stocked, and offers a range of heat levels, from a mild avocado salsa to a fiery habanero option that will make you sweat in the best way.
Service is always quick and efficient, which is crucial for a place this busy. The staff works like a well-oiled machine, getting your order out fast without compromising on quality. The atmosphere is bustling and lively, with the sound of sizzling grills and happy customers—it feels like a genuine community hub.
While other taco places in town might have a wider menu or a "cooler" aesthetic, this place wins on the fundamentals. They've earned their popularity by delivering a consistently excellent product without any pretense. If you're tired of mediocre tacos and just want a simple, fantastic meal that won't disappoint, this is the place to be. It's proof that sometimes, the best tacos are the ones that are...
Read moreWe chose this place because it was close to our hotel and one in our group had not had decent tacos in some time. So we figured we would give them a try.
It's obvious that it was a 50's style diner before it became a taqueria. I was told by a friend what the name was before but I have forgotten now.
My wife and her sister ordered tacos, my mother ordered a burrito, and I ordered a Cuban Sandwich.
To be fair, I only tasted the Cuban when normally I would steal a bite from everyone to get a better sense of the food.
The sandwich was fine, nothing I would order again. The meats were battered and fried nicely and the produce was fresh. The sliced hotdog on the sandwich could have been grilled more as they were cold on the sandwich and had no grill marks. It was as if they took a room temp hotdog sliced it in pieces and placed it in the sandwich.
My advice with the hotdog, slice them lengthwise and get a better grill on them, they will come out hotter and much tastier with a bit of crispness to them.
I ordered two bottles of Coke but could only get one as they sold the only other bottle of Coke that was in the cooler. Very disappointing. Advice: Stock the beverage cooler for the lunch crowd. Maybe have a system that the closing shift stocks up so the beverages are cold and ready for the next day.
Asking around the table, everyone seemed to enjoy their food overall. I would give them another try but I would order tacos and/or a burrito.
The service was fine, not much to it. You order and the counter, they call your name when it's ready, and you pick up from the designated area.
They had all COVID protocols in place; must wear a mask, hand sanitizer as you walk in and every other table blocked for use for proper distancing.
If you like my reviews, hit the thumbs up...

Read moreSo, my family and I are from Cleveland, visiting Vegas and we passed this taco spot on the way to our hotel from the airport. On our way back to the airport, at about 10:00 am, I suggested that we make a pit stop and get tacos from Taqueria Casa Del Sabor. Our cab driver said that the area is a “rough neighborhood” and heavily advised against us going. But, unfortunately, I convinced everyone to go anyways. We arrived and as soon as our cab driver stopped his vehicle to let us out, a male immediately ran up to our cab before we opened the door. It was very apparent to me that the man was up to no good, as soon as he approached our vehicle. He seemed to be mouthing words to us, pretending not to be able to speak and coerce us into opening the door. He attempted to open the cab door for my mother and was successful with her help. Luckily I was sitting next to her and forced her to shut the door. My mother is a kind person, always lending a helping hand to anyone in need. With that being said ;she is smart, but not so street smart. She thought the man was in need of something, so she tried to help. After making sure of our safety and departing this taco place, our amazing cab driver took us to a better part of town to get food. At first, I was sad that I didn’t get to try ‘the best tacos in Vegas.’ Now, I’m grateful that my decision to go to this place against our cab drivers advice didn’t cost my mom, dad, brother or our cab driver’s life. I’m posting this for other tourists that may want to check this area out. BE CAREFUL! Our cab driver stated that the male who approached our car had 3 other guys waiting at a distance from him. Our driver is confident that these people in the ‘rough neighborhoods’ will rob people at anytime with anyone around. Not all cab drivers are this wonderful! I wish that I could remember his name, but he was a kind and gentle, middle aged Hispanic man. Moral of the story: Listen to your cab driver, (to your discretion) and be mindful of the places you travel...
