VERDICT: This restaurant looks great, but doesn't deliver good food.
First, I should let you know that I ate here for free. I used a Groupon that I paid for with credit. You see every time someone signs up with Groupon through the highlighted links and then ends up buying a Groupon, I get a $10 credit. Don't click on the ads on my blog, but rather click on the Groupon links. It's free to join and I have to say that it is a lot of fun too....do it, do it, do it...I want $10.
Anyway, the restaurant itself is impressive although an unfortunate shade of pink. The unique architecture is further marred by the addition of TV's playing sports over the bar.
I immediately knew that I wasn't going to like the meal by the menus. The menus have what appears to be a cover made out of copper. That seems all well and good, but copper is not something you want to touch before eating. Don't believe me? Take out a couple of pennies and hold them in your hand. Now smell your hand. Gross, huh? If you have a good sense of smell then you are going to smell this every time you raise your fork to your mouth if you don't wash your hands after handling the menu. I am of the opinion that if you don't have a good enough sense of smell to notice this then you probably aren't a very good cook.
I decided to go safe. I got the carne asada burrito. It was flavorless and the meat was extremely chewy. The brown beans were dry, undercooked, and bland. I could only finish a small portion of the burrito before giving up. I would much rather have Roberto's. Greg got a taco sampler and found he couldn't finish his tacos either. While he enjoyed the tacos "Al Pastor" (with pork), he couldn't finish the potato and portabella taco.
I've noticed that the people that like this place tend to talk about the cocktails a lot. I'm thinking that you have to be drunk to like this place. This barely missed being on my "Worst of Vegas" list, solely because the chips and salsa were good.
