Màs Por Favor Taqueria y Tequila · Chinatown
Màs Por Favor pairs a Spring Mountain Road taqueria with a bar tucked behind a doorway. The mushroom asada tacos come with kimchi slaw and crisp wontons, while the drinks range from mezcal with chamoy to a melon-and-cucumber margarita. Birria ramen extends the menu beyond tacos.
Casa Playa · The Strip
Sarah Thompson cooks coastal Mexican food at Casa Playa inside Encore. The kitchen makes its own masa, while the bar keeps a deep selection of tequila and mezcal. The dining room invites a meal that moves between seafood, tortillas, and drinks.
Tacos El Gordo · The Strip
Tijuana-style mini-chain. Strip-side street tacos with separate lines per meat. The adobada line runs longest.
La Casa De Juliette · Centennial Hills
Chef Eduardo 'Lalo' Saavedra serves Mexican food in Centennial Hills at La Casa de Juliette. The neighborhood restaurant pairs familiar dishes with careful presentation, giving diners an option away from the Strip for a full sit-down meal.
Milpa · Southwest
Milpa Mexican Cafe builds its Durango menu around heritage corn, vegetables, and grains. The kitchen gives masa and produce room to lead, making this a useful stop for contemporary Mexican cooking beyond a meat-centered plate.
