I love Las Vegas Restaurant! Best cheese enchiladas I've ever had, (period!), and the carne guisada is like a kiss from Abuelita. Chips and Salsa are extra but it's too good to pass up. Las Vegas restaurant is welcoming, & the food is consistently delicious. Because of all these things, there is an occasional waitlist but it moves quickly. .

This was soooo good. Hand made chips and fresh guacamole, all the sauces were legit, portions are generous. Great dinner.

My colleagues in Texas surprised me--a Las Vegas local--by taking me here for dinner last night. The restaurant was packed, and we even had to wait about five minutes for our table. The chili and chile con queso I ordered was bomb (and what I'm basing this review on). I also ordered two tacos, and they were not memorable at all.

Food is authentic, large portions and very well priced. Assorted daily specials make it even more affordable. Roughly $10-15 per person. Every member of the staff we interacted with was personable and helpful. Wonderful atmosphere. Even the patrons of the establishment were helpful to the gringos! They gave us suggestions of what to eat and even gave us samples from their own plate! W will definitely be going back before we leave the area!

Best fajitas I've had in the RGV! Super tender and delicious. Service was great but there is definitely a wait. We went at 2 in the afternoon and it was still pretty busy. Overall it's a must stop place while in the RGV!

The food never disappoints! The mini Mexican plate was a perfect portion. Quick efficient service, attention to our needs.

Food was excellent. Service was adequate but slow. Kitchen was very slow. We waited 30 minutes for a table. 10 minutes to order. 45 minutes for the meals. A little too long even though the food was excellent. Not excellent enough for that kind of wait.

GREAT LOCALS SPOT! Las Vegas Restaurant was highly recommended by one of the employees at a hotel that we were staying at nearby! This is definitely one of the old school diner places that you must visit while in Harlingen. Be ready for the wait to get in because like many diners out there, it is busy and well there is no online check ins. You have to make sure you go in and put your name down for a table. We waited about 30 minutes but there are plenty of seating areas indoors and outdoors to kill some time. The venue does not offer complimentary chips and salsa, which is the first that I have seen in a while, however, it is offered as an appetizer. We didn't mind it at all. I ordered the Las Vegas Plate while my husband ordered the Tex Mex Plate. Both dishes come with enchiladas, rice and beans of your choice and the type of main course ( fajita tacos on the Vegas or Carne Guisada for Tex Mex ). Wow! My tacos were amazingly good and the carne guisada was so soft. Enchiladas were good too, made with a roux or gravy like sauce. But the winning dish were the beans! Wow, there is so much love put into this, you can taste it ! If you do not like pork stay away but if you do this is heaven! These are perfect dishes that will give you that " Welcome Home " feeling. Also not, the price point is very affordable. I mean compared to Vegas Prices lol. Service was personable and ambiance had that Tex Mex Vibe ! Make sure to give it a try!

Every time I visit I have to hit up Las Vegas Restaurant and never have I been here when they're isn't a line out the door of at least 20 people. This restaurant is popular and they don't take reservations. You have to go in, give your name to the host and get placed on the waiting list. You can give them your phone number and they will call when it's your turn. This place is the heart of Tex-Mex food. From fresh home made flour and corn tortillas to fideo, beef fajita tacos, refried beans (the way grama used to make) to the school cafeteria style cheese enchiladas (famous dish) , carne guisada, caldo de res (beef soy) and last but not least, super sweet tea Texas style. I could go on and on about all the dishes I grew up eating but I'm getting hungry thinking about the hearty food that is prepared here on the daily. The cheese enchilada plate is my favorite. I order it with sliced fresh onions and the jalapeño; it just hits different that way. It comes with your choice of tortillas or crackers. I get 2 flour tortillas to have with my refried beans. It tastes good with the crackers too; it's just a childhood taste thing to add a piece of cheesy, beefy, gooey enchilada on top of them crackers and wash it down with that Texas sweet tea. (Sigh) those good old memories. Thank you ladies that work here, they're always super sweet and they all work so hard. My tea is always topped off and they always move around restaurant checking on customers to make sure they have everything they need. That's why I keep coming back. Service is impeccable and the food is on point. If you ever come down this area you have to try this place; it's a local favorite.
