There are a ton of overpriced and disappointing restaurants on the strip in Las Vegas. I'm always apprehensive about spending $50-$100 a person(with no alcohol) for fancified ingredients prepared in a lazy and mediocre way.

Chica is different. It's pricey, but it's actually worth it. The quality of food preparation and the service experience is worth every cent. If you get the chance to go on a Friday or Saturday night, it's a wild and fun time! They sell an experience that is unique, fun and delicious.

The empanadas are fantastic. The pastry is perfect, the filings are balanced and the sauce is full of flavor. They are a savory starter that you must try.

The beef tartar is fresh, vibrant and focuses on what the dish is really supposed to be—beef! Overall, it was very enjoyable. I wanted to sink my teeth into some succulent beef and it exceeded my expectations.

We got every dessert. Look, I could go into each one, but they were all incredible, so I'll just focus on two:

At first I thought the flaming skull dessert was all show. We didn't care though, we wanted the show, and it was great. Again, Chica provides a great dining experience, and the experience of the flaming skull is unlike any I've had. Sure, I've had flambe'd baked Alaskas and other desserts, but watching the skull melt away to reveal the treasure hidden inside was next level. Let me say though, the quality of the chocolate and the gooey rich contrast of the cake was executed with precision. The ice cream that came with it was also excellent. Everything on that dish was out of this world.

We got the corn dessert, haha. Again, we got it just for the kitschiness of the concept. But again, I tasted it to find that it was unlike anything I've ever had. The flavor was cheesecake but better, the texture was soft and creamy. The crumbles on the plate, the white chocolate shavings on top, everything about it was just plain impressive. This is a Michelin star quality restaurant dessert.

Our server Miranda was great. We never felt unattended for a moment. She was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Everyone who works there seems happy to be there. The managers Beau and Glenn came by to check on us and they were friendly and ready to help us with anything we needed. The service here is just incredible.

There is no good reason to not go here. I highly recommend Chica at the Venetian in Las Vegas. It has everything you'd expect and so much more. There are so many dining options on the strip in Las Vegas, I've had many, and this is unequivocally the very best that I have had.
