El Zarape

I stopped because here because it was on my route home. I didn't check the reviews before I went. I had an asada burrito for $12 which I really enjoyed. It was a little dry but in fairness I did not ask for salsa or any sauce inside the burrito. The service was friendly and fast. The dinning area was ok. Not especially clean or dirty. There is outdoor seating available. I didn't see the restrooms so I cannot comment on that.

Aye, this place hit for real, for real, was driving by and saw the signs and my girl said that looks good. They have signs on the road displaying there food. I thought well lets try it out because it did look good. Parking wasn't too difficult, a couple of cars and a family sitting down outside dinning out. Immediately went to Google to see what the food looked like from the pictures. The first picture I saw were of these 4 biria tacos with juice sauce to side look extra delicious. I said to my self that's what I want. "Baby .. baby ? You ready to go inside?" Her "yeah let's go." Inside the atmosphere was that of small a bit crapped, but welcoming none the less. I felt like I had walked into some ones Mexican Tia house, this was foreshadowing to what would be my meal. I just didn't know it yet. Finally to order, my girl ordered the biria quesadia and some deconstruction of meat, beans and rice with wraps on the side. Now for me " you sir?" Said my new found spanish aunty. I put my phone up and pointed to the picture "give me this" her "4 sir" me "yes". 47 dollars and some change was the total. I wasn't to happy about the cost but hey I did order 3 plates of food. We sat down and the wait wasn't to long. Did I mention I ordered this to go? Well when the food came we had about a 5 to 6 minute drive to our hotel of the strip. And finally to room, where we could dine. Smell: at first wiff I didn't get any inherent smells emanating from the bag. This was a bit deserning because I like to smell my food to get an idea of what I'm getting my self into.not until I opened the bag did smells of Mexican delight grace my noise and it was Givin. Like really giving giving. Not to strong but fresh and fragrant of slow cooked meats. Overall 7/10 Taste: taste was out of the world, a true Spanish, Mexican delight. Flavors were there me being African american felt a missing of salt but that was not slight in anyway to overall taste. This was an enjoyable experience. Sauce was drenched in goodness. This was worth while and I for one was here for it. The meat was tender, and prepared well. This felt like I had gone over one of my Mexican friends home and they offered me food. And they served me like I was Familia/family. Overall 9/10 Would go back ..

Tasty Mexican hole in the wall joint. Birria anything and soup/stews are great here! Takes credit card. $2.69 street tacos, $3.49 Quesabirria comes with meat juice to dip in. Working class everyday eats place. There's a tiny indoor enclosed patio for outdoor seating, and a small cozy indoor seat area. The sauces were okay. But food overall seems more clean or slow cooked than other places. I can handle the Birria taco here but I couldn't with Ay Jalisco. Even though everyone's fav birria is there which was too greasy for my stomach. Looking forward to trying other items like carne en su Jugo, or a combination platter without dairy.

We ate at El Zarape. It’s only a short 4 min drive from The Orleans. It is located off the strip in an industrial area. Plenty of parking in front. If your looking an authentic Mexican cuisine that’s not gonna break the bank you must stop at El Zarape. It is delicious and reminded me of my Nana’s cooking. We had the Chile relleno it came with rice and beans and tortillas. We also had a taco de Cameron and a taco de pescado and quesabirria it came with a cup of consumé all for under 25.00. They had two sauces one was a tomatillo based sauce that was very mild the other was an orange habanero sauce that had a lot of flavor. They were busy but offered prompt and very friendly service definitely a local favorite.

What a delicious place to cure a hangover in Las Vegas!! Not too far from the strip and the place has great non vegas food prices. Make time to go there because it gets busy with all the locals knowing where to come get delicious authentic Mexican food. The chorizo con huevos are excellent and they flour tortillas are made by hand. Also had the fideo soup. My friend had the menudo and machaca and we also ordered a plate of chicken taquitos to split. There is also outside seating as well as indoor but use the outdoor seating to drink your tall can while you wait for your food. Also had the champurrado and it was to die for ! Plenty of parking in the parking lot. There’s also a sushi boba place next door that I wanted to try but wasn’t in the mood for sushi or boba but it looked good. Don’t tell anyone about this place... it’s busy as it is.
