Sonrisa Grill

fun fun fun! another stop on our visit to lake las vegas margaritas and a very engaging bartender. So many tequila to try!

My husband and I live close by but there are still many choices! This is always on the top of the list! We love the staff, food and ambiance!

The food was OK — but not wonderful. The appetizers were all very good (we especially loved the avocado rolls, queso, and calamari). The entrees were so-​so. Not overly unique, and OK — just not wonderful. Service (for such an empty house) was pretty lack-​luster.

Stayed in one of the hotels at Lake Las Vegas 2 weekends in a row, both times with our young grandsons. This is an excellent Mexican restaurant. The food is incredible. The wait staff are fun and do a great job. Our grandsons made sure we had lunch and dinner here one day. We, of course returned the following weekend for dinner.

Went here for taco Tuesday, waited literally an hour just for 3 beef shredded tacos (It wasn’t even that busy) our server (I forgot to asked for his name) was really nice and the food was great. Just the wait pretty much ruined my first experience. Would go back and try again but not anytime soon

Great Happy Hour specials. $ 3, $ 4, and $ 5 happy hour, can’t beat that for the prices and we enjoyed the views, service staff, and mostly all the food and drinks. We has the chicken flautas (so freaking yummy that we ordered 3 of those!) the avocado rolls (those were just ok — the bacon over-​powered the entire dish that you couldn’t taste anything else. granted bacon is great but you lose the taste of the grilled chicken, avocado, and other spices) we also had the baby back ribs (good but not great, the bbq sauce could’ve been better) the sangria was delis and so was the margarita. we also ordered the carne asada fries (very yummy) and carne asada tacos (this wasn’t on the happy hour menu but very good.

Excellent customer service! Logan our waiter was phenomenal! The avocado dip was fresh & delicious. The Cadillac Margarita was two thumbs up.

Wow Steven was an amazing server, He told me to order the Camerones al mojo de ajo and it was so good i will most definitely be back!!!

Meh it’s another Mexican food restaurant, nothing bad but nothing great. Prices a little high but if you come to lake lasvegas then you already should expect that. The area is sooooooper slow so it’s kinda nice to have the area by yourself but then again kinda creepy in zombie apocalypse kinda way lol. But sure I’d come back

Sonrisa? No Bueno people. What a complete disappointment. After reading the reviews, I was looking forward to eating some good Mexican food.
I ordered a very basic meal in my opinion… tacos…two chicken and one carne asada. Upon receiving the tacos, I laughed out loud to myself!!! Lol, the meat was dry (chicken and beef) and was topped with lettuce, tomatoes and cold shredded cheese. The rice and beans were dry. They tasted processed out of a can :-(ugggh
TERRIBLE!!! Nothing authentic about this joint. The menu items are overpriced. Waste of time and money. On a positive note, they play very good music. But, tell me… how can the music be better than the food???
Last thing, I ordered guacamole for an appetizer. $ 7.00 for a scoop that wasn’t freshly made. I guess I’m used to Lindo Michoacan…

Food was good. Not as good as good Cali Mexican Food. The margarita was good, Server could have been more attentive, maybe because he knew he already had secured the tip as we were a large party and gratuity was automatic. Had to ask for chip refills, salsa water etc.

Skirt steak was yummy! The portion was huge, perfectly cooked and had sides of rice & beans. I don’t think there was any fat at all!
Their salsa is very tasty. The bar is well stocked, especially with many brands of tequila!
They were featuring 2 Maui Brewing varieties in cans, and I had the Coconut Porter, which is just as good outside of the island!
The patio was busy, as it was a rare, not sizzling hot August evening!
I like this place though I don’t get out to the Lake much anymore. Sonrisa has a lot of happy hour and other daily deals, like AYCE Taco Tuesdays, that are worth making the trip for!

Nice place, nice busser BUT OUR SERVER IS HORRIBLE!!! First we ask her about our Unilocal offer we got for checking in with Unilocal and she said the FREE HOUSE MARGARITA is only a tasting cup size not a full order! Then the busser show up and we ask him about it after he drop off our drinks order and he said wait that doesn’t sound right let ask the manager then he came back and said it is a full size margarita order. Then we order our food, portion is very small compare to other happy hours food places we been. Then the worst part is while we still eating the chips and shrimp ceviche the server took our chips and leave us the shrimp ceviche without any chips left to eat it with!!! This is very sad first time we visited this restaurant and SADLY TO SAY THIS IS OUR LAST VISIT HERE!!!
Server name is: Susana
Busser name: Matthew (excellent customer service!)

Wonderful and friendly place. They have delicious food drinks and dessert. Try the chicken or pork tacos they’re great. The fried ice cream is delicious. Per my 9 and 12 year old «This place is amazing!» And I agree!

There aren’t a lot of places to eat at Lake Las Vegas so dinner was decided based on what was open. My boyfriend and I haven’t had Mexican food in a while so during our stay at Westin Lake Las Vegas, we chose to eat at Sonrisa Grill. Heads up, the whole plaza where it’s located is deserted! It was pretty creepy to park in an almost empty parking garage and walk through dark alleys and closed establishments. Since I watch too much Law & Order: SVU, I’m pretty paranoid when it comes to dark, desolate places. Anyway, we were pretty lost so we tried to listen for loud music or people laughing/​talking just to find this place.
We saw bright lights and people drinking margaritas and Coronas at the patio so I knew we finally arrived– Hallelujah! A host helped us find a table outside right away but it took a while for a server to notice us. We didn’t mind though because we needed more time to look over the menu anyway. When the server finally came, we checked in on Unilocal,showed her our phones and ordered the free house margaritas. She came back with the drinks, took our dinner orders and another server brought us free (first round only) chips & salsa and waters.
Food came out pretty fast. I ordered the Shredded Beef Chimichanga and it came with beans, rice, lettuce, guacamole and sour cream. My boyfriend ordered the Carne Asada Burrito and it came with beans and rice. Both dishes were super delicious and we loved pairing them with the chips and margaritas.
Now here’s why I rate this place 3 stars: First off, there were no utensils given until I flagged someone down and asked. Not a big deal, of course, but still an unnecessary flaw. Then my boyfriend had a question about a certain dish. The server, unsure of what to say, grabbed his menu and just read the description to him. He didn’t need help reading it. he just needed more info about it. She called another server and he then explained the food to us in detail. Maybe she was new so we let it slide.
Then, 20 or so minutes into our meal, she told us that since she didn’t tell the bartender about the Unilocal check-​in special and he prepared us bigger versions of what was supposed to be given, she had to charge us $ 16 for the two margaritas. Ummmm, how about NO WAY! We showed you our Unilocal app on our phone & you clicked ‘Use it Now!’ on the redeem offer page. It’s not our fault you ordered the wrong drinks to the bartender. We told her we were not going to pay for the drinks and wanted to speak to her manager. She came back a few minutes later, apologized and said her manager is taking them off our bill. Well, yeah obviously, that’s only proper!
Final thoughts– the food was good but the lackluster service was quite disappointing. Always bring utensils to your guests, have all servers know the menu items and don’t put deals on any social media if not all servers are aware of it.

First off service wasn’t that great.
2^nd we weren’t done with our appetizer and a random worker came and cleared our table. I told him we weren’t done and he just said sorry ! I was annoyed already. Then I show them the « Unilocal check in» it says free house margarita for each adult 21+ he brings back 1 when there was 2. Took our server 20 min to come back and take out order and still had the nerve to ask if we needed more time lol… Bartender was my fav. (Husband had to go to bar to order) SAD. other then all that lol… Food was ok. Kinda plain. Chicken flautas were good though.

I can’t say enough good thugs about Sonrisa and it’s hands on owner Chanthy. This is my second year hosting an event at Lake Las Vegas and I wouldn’t do it without Sonrisa.
Last year I worked with five different restaurants in the Village and we had a great event. This year Chanthy coordinated every meal and break and I couldn’t be happier. It was so easy! They had all different types of food for every day — Asian buffet, BBQ ribs and corn with sliders and wings and of course traditional Mexican. We watched March Madness basketball games on the patio with a view of the lake.
She also coordinated a fantastic casino night event for our group. We had table games, a karaōke station and a photo booth. Such a fun night.

This place is AWESOME and let me tell you why. First off they have HAPPY HOUR here. Drinks are $ 5, and appetizers are reduced all day on Monday and in the after noons Tuesday through Sunday. Also, Tuesday is Taco Tuesday all day, REALLY???
$ 11.95 for ALL YOU CAN EAT TACOS… Did you catch that, ALL YOU CAN EAT TACO’s.
Now these taco’s are are not small taco’s, they are filling but you can hang out until they close if you want to eat and drink that long…
The House Margaritas and awesome. Back to the Taco’s, they have shredded chicken, shredded beef, Steak and Prawns and all are WOW.
The Prawns were cooked perfect and were some of the best we have ever had and as for the Steak, the seasoning is heavenly.
If you have not been out to Lake Las Vegas, WHY NOT. This place is worth the drive and worth the price of the food. They do have other items on the menu all reasonably priced as compared to other places but the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else, this place is a HIDDEN GEM.
We will be back probably on a Tuesday for the All You Can Eat Taco’s along with Happy Hour prices on drinks, a DOUBLE WIN!!!
Omar is an AMAZING bartendar and server. He has an amazing personality and really makes the entire experience worth coming here.

This restaurant is decent. We decided to dine here right as the beer festival was ending, so it was extremely convenient. Of course, so did myriad other patrons. Understandably, there was a little wait for a table but not bad at all.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the wait for the food. I understand they were busy. I’ll forgive them. When we did get our meals, they tasted good. Nothing extraordinary here, but a decent meal to cap our evening.
They had a DJ playing some nice old school beats. That may or may not be your thing, but I enjoyed it. Oh and by checking in on Unilocal,you get a free house margarita. To be honest, it was bland.

A great place for Mexican in Montelago Village!
Rough economic times have hit the place hard. But luckily there are still some great restaurants here including Sonrisa! The dining area is open and colorful! The service here is phenomenal! They are all friendly and very attentive!
They bring complimentary chips and salsa for the table. They are warm and delicious! We started off trying their Queso dip. Good for white Queso dip but could’ve used a bit more flavor. I opted to try the prawns enchiladas. So good! The prawns were large and plenty of them stuffed inside.
If I’m in the area again, I would make this stop again. Thanks for a great meal!
