The restaurant itself is very well located, along the gondola ride at the Venetian. We were seated just by the balcony and could enjoy the surprisingly good singing while eating (OK, listening to O sole mio while eating tamale is a bit unusual, but hey! It's Las Vegas, let's be crazy!). The service was friendly, and last but not least... the food was extremely good! It is Mexican food brought to the next level. We had a ceviche trio that was very tasty and freshly prepared, and the star of the lunch was their sonora steak cooked to perfection, served with a very good tamale. That all seems very simple, but the taste is there, it was well presented, it makes you think food doesn't need to be over complicated to be good. We come from France, so it's not like we can come back any time soon... much to our regret!

At the time, I thought the food average, and the prices high. But I've heard good things about the place lately. Maybe I'll give it another try.

I MUST try this place ASAP. I'll be astounded if this place is as good as you say and we have another Strip Mexican joint that's actually worth eating at. Maybe "The Curse of Bad Mexican Food" has ended for Las Vegas? I guess one Orange County ex-pat can hope... ;-) OMG, don’t tell me you’ve actually found another decent Mexican restaurant on The Strip (with the only that I know of being Border Grill)!
