Absolutely loved this spot inside Red Rock Casino! It has such a great modern vibe with a Spanish flair--the atmosphere is stylish and lively, perfect for a night out.The service was excellent, and the food was just as impressive. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. They also have really fun drink options, which made the experience even better-Love the oversized options!A great bonus--if you're celebrating a birthday, they actually let you bring your own cake, which is such a nice touch. Definitely a great place for a fun dinner, special occasion, or just a great meal! Highly recommend!

Been here twice with fairly large parties. In order of what I most liked to least liked: - Mole poblano (not pictured): Super juicy chicken with great flavors. This was so good that I shockingly enjoyed it over their steak offerings below- Sweet potato tacos (not pictured): Very unique, and liked them more than the traditional meat tacos which were good but not any more memorable than most other dine-in restaurant tacos- Street corn: Highly recommended, but best shared between no more than 3-4 people- Queso fundido: Also highly recommended- Chips and salsa: Default starter for the table that you don't have to order. Chips were really good with good texture and seasoning; salsa was on the wetter side but really flavorful as well- Guacamole (not pictured): Super good, definitely worthwhile to get with their chips- Chopped salad (not pictured): Liked the variety of vegetables, and dressing was good- Chicken/carne asada tacos (not pictured): As mentioned above, just ok- Bone-in rib eye al pastor: Meat was seasoned well, and loved the inclusion of the bone marrow. I always appreciate pineapples as well. However, while all the components were individually great, the dish as a whole didn't feel cohesive. As a large platter, it came with several sides but a disproportionately small amount of rice and beans. Not that anything else on the menu is priced reasonably, but this one was particularly not worth it- Ceviche: Flavor was ok, but brutally small portion relative to chips provided - Watermelon tostada: Not impressive, and done better elsewhere in townService has been consistently great. Ambient lighting is aggressively dark at night, which might be the vibe for some people but also undermines food presentation. Overall, there's a few dishes I wouldn't mind coming back for if it weren't for the prices, which are much too high for what you're getting, and somehow even more inflated than Strip pricing.

Service was great, it's a little darker than I'd like inside the restaurant, food tasted alright, but I got the worst bout of food poisoning I've ever had in my life afterwards.I was the only one at my table who ordered the barbacoa tacos Sunday night, and everyone else was fine. Three hours after dinner, I started throwing up every hour for the next five hours. It's Wednesday now, and I'm still not feeling great.

Nice ambiance. We came with a party of 6 for the $55 Family Style Dinner. You get every item on the menu. We had plenty of food, so it was worth it. We had a few servers, and they were very attentive. I had a non-alcoholic guava lemonade. The flavor was very strong and tart, and I was not a fan. Everything on the menu was delicious, but I wasn't a fan of the watermelon tostada or the chicken fajitas. The presentation of the chicken fajitas was nice as it came out sizzling, but it was very dry. I would come back again to participate on the $55 Family Style Dinner again.

Came in for lunch on a Tuesday. Made a reservation cause you never know but it was pretty empty. We were seated right away. The interior is beautiful. Feels very tropical and outdoorsy. Our server was Sam and she was great. Very friendly and on top of things. I ordered a Little lion which is mezcal with fruit juices and it was awesome. I could drink a lot of those! We ordered Guacamole to go along with the required chips and salsa. Our chips seemed to be a little stale but Sam replaced them quickly and we dug into the 2 salsa (red and green) and the guacamole. It was all very good. Guac was fresh and very tastyI had the sweet potato taco which comes with rice and beans and I ordered a side of street corn. Sam asked if I was vegan and I said no, she explained the beans had some meat in them. Way to look out! I just really like sweet potatoes and wanted to try something different. The tacos were amazing, sweet potato diced up and cooked with brown butter and a hint of cinnamon coming through. Not something I would usually order but was feeling adventurous. Rice was good, light not clumpy like a lot of Mexican places where it seems the rice has been on for a week. Beans were great, not refried but like a stew with a smoky flavor. Really delicious. Street corn was excellent, off the cob and very tasty. Some places make it a little tangy or heavy on the lime but it was sweet here and that's how I like it. Service was great, food was great and the location is pretty inside. Can't wait to come back and bring the wife! S

I was very impressed with this restaurant. It was Mexican food, but elevated. I wish I had the appetite for the table-side, watermelon infused vodka drink, but I'll definitely be back to try it. Our waitress mentioned that it would be quite filling for two people, so we decided to hold off. We definitely appreciated her honesty. They did have a drink called the Leoncito, and it was AMAZING. Highly recommend if you like flavorful drinks that are a little sweet and refreshing, but don't taste like syrup. I had it with vodka and it was perfect. You could choose which alcohol to have it with. ForFood, I got their Camerones dish, and it was also bold and flavorful. Everything I had wasn't overwhelmingly heavy, but had great flavor to it. Shoutout to the manager. I believe his name was Mark, and he was SO nice and helpful! The ambience was very romantic and sexy. Great place for a date night! Overall, everyone was very nice, the food was great, and we had a great time!

Had a friend in town and we stopped at Leoncito in the Red Rock Casino. Parking was plentiful and there was immediate seating. We were surprised to learn that they have all day happy hour from 4-6pm. We went on a Saturday so we decided to sit at the bar and try it out. Note: you can also order off the entire menu but we decided to try the happy hour items.Humberto helped us and was pretty friendly and eager to answer our questions.We had the chicken quesadillas, chicken taco, beef taco, and two orders of flautas. The portions were definitely on the smaller end. The taste was just okay.Keep in mind that Leoncito participates in 1/2 point dining for mygeneration card holders on Wednesdays.

As a Las Vegas local, Leoncito at Red Rock is one of my favorite spots for a laid-back meal with great flavors. The prickly pear margarita is so good, I highly recommend trying it.For an appetizer my boyfriend and I always order the ceviche, and it's consistently fresh and flavorful. This time, I went for three tacos: chicken tinga, barbacoa, and shrimp. Each one had bold, well-seasoned flavors and was just a solid bite overall. I will say I am sad they took the fish taco off the menu as it used to be my favorite but they still have great options available The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, and the service has always been friendly and attentive. It's the kind of place I keep coming back to, whether I'm craving tacos or just a good drink with friends. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area

Sat at the bar during happy hour and had great service from the bartender! My fiancé started with the El Leonicto which is huge and delicious made with guava and he picked tequila. I had a Gran Siesta made with their house-made horchata. Both Delicious! For food we ordered the queso fundido which was amazing with fresh tortillas and the happy hour tacos, also tasty.It's in the casino with outside dining options. The cig smoke was pretty intense so we sat as far away from the casino doors as possible. Really cutely decorated.

I would like to shine a light on our server, Jeffrey and his exceptional customer service. For me when dining out customer service is as equally important as the quality of the food. Both the quality of the food and my server experience was great. I will definitely be back.Kudos Jeffrey and team !!
