Nacho Average Taco Joint
My mother’s family is from the southwest. As a child, she frequently made dinners for us that represented that influence. I developed a love for Tex-Mex and Mexican food at a young age. When I found out Guy Fieri had a Mexican restaurant inside Harrah’s Laughlin, I had to check it out.

Queso Casero Enchiladas |
Like any good Mexican food restaurant, fresh salsa and chips
were brought immediately to our table.
Being a vegetarian, I personally did not want the first batch, as it was
topped with freshly fried chicharrónes.
After just a quick word with the server, we were brought new chips sans
pork. From the menu, over half of the
appetizers and all of the salads are vegetarian, but meat eaters will note that
you can add meat to most of them. It is Guy's restaurant after all.

El Caesar Salad |
Our entrée course was the opposite of salad, Queso Casero
Enchiladas. This vegetarian dinner
features triple melty cheese wrapped in tender tortillas and smothered in a rich
and flavorful borracho sauce. Topped
with chopped onions, cilantro and tequila lime crema and served alongside black
beans, cilantro rice so yummy I wanted to order another side of it (which you
can do by the way), guacamole and fresh pico de gallo. There are plenty of options for the carnivore
and a couple more for the plant-based eaters like myself. Next time I want to try the Acapulco Gold
salad or the Verduras Asadas street tacos.

Borracho Banana Sopapillas |
Needless to say, this meal was the highlight of our trip to
this gambling river town. On our way out,
we scoped out the merchandise shelves.
There are a number of different licensed items to purchase ranging from
t-shirts to shot glasses and Guy Fieri’s own cookbooks. If Laughlin is a little
out of the way for you, do not distress.
The host informed us that there is a second location currently in the works inside the Rio Casino in Las Vegas.
I see a Vegas vacation in our future…
