Casa Tlaquepaque

Great flavor for the "carne en su jugo", very good service, clean and good atmosphere. Thank you

Barbacoa and Birria in Las Vegas...what?! 😎

Not one of the reasons most visit Sin City, but if you're in town craving some Mexican other than tacos and enchiladas...give it a try!

Let's start with the joint...SUPER traditional spot with a lively rancho feel and atmosphere. Lots of lively color and music to set the tone!

Service is on point. Waiters are super friendly and attentive.

House specialty is the Barbacoa. Normally, I try the house specialty to see if they stand up to their advertisement, but this time, I was feeling the Birria, so we dove into that...

The birria did not disappoint 👏 😁

Ordered a combination that comes with beans, rice, and salad. Portion was ok. Tbh, I expected more considering the price. But any more, and I would have had to be barreled out, so it was just right 😅

Also ordered the Mango Margarita...a Def must try if margaritas are your thing.

The menu is decent and varied, which is great for repeat visits.

Price is a bit more relative to portions and overall experience, but then again, it is LV, so we deal with it.

On the downside, one of my beliefs is that any place that can't get the basics down correctly is usually not a good sign....

Case in point...Chips and Salsa. Doesn't get any more basic than that...it's a tone setter.

I've never tasted cardboard, but if I had it, it would probably taste better than the chips I was served. It was a bummer to begin with, but I remained positive.

That said, it definitely made a difference when it came to me ordering the guacamole. At $11 for guacamole, I couldn't even imagine having guacamole on cardboard, so that was a hard no for me. Maybe it was me, but you have been warned...see for yourself 👀🤷

All in all, Casa Tlaquepaque was a decent experience and a change away from the norm in Vegas, which was good.

So check it out! It may just be your type of joint!

Enjoy!

Best consome (beef broth) in town! The broth comes with garbanzo beans! It's full of flavor! They serve BARBACOA!

This place was so delicious! If you like well-cooked goat and lamb meat and Mexican food, then you need try this place~ Had their choriqueso appetizer and that was really nice too. Would definitely come here again :)
