Casa Tlaquepaque

Came all the way down to this place today after seeing a ad posted on Facebook. Wanted the pork Barboca only to find out it’s only served on the weekends. The girl posting the ad should have mentioned that. So we ended up ordering birria and a carnitas plate. My boyfriend said the birria was alright but didn’t realize it was goat not beef. Goat has a funny taste but he said it was alright. The carnitas plate was good nothing special. Drove 30 mins for the Barboca so that was a let down. Maybe we’ll come back on a weekend

Why do I always find myself having to defend restaurants on here? Especially in Las Vegas.
This restaurants food is geared towards a certain region of Mexico and its food. That fact that your quesadilla was flat is because thats the way its made in that region its not some fast food restaurant. The reason your tacos looked like cat food is because that carne is called, «carne desebrada» shredded meat. I mean what presentation where you looking for? Flat and plain looking robertos taco shop, or neon colored dell taco food?
I feel that a lot of Mexican American people born here in Las Vegas really need a fine tuning to their Mexican heritage, or a boot camp course of the Mexican region. Everyone born here lacks a lot of their own culture and they just intermingle and turn everything into mush. I am pretty sure if you invited a Mexican person from Mexico who is visiting they will complain about the quality of the meat. But thats because their meat is fresh from the same day. Americas meat is expected a lot more and put into storage for supermarkets/​restaurants. Don’t just come in and judge these places for what you have previously ate in these so called, «Mexican Restaurants». Las Vegas seriously needs better Mexican food. Most of them suck.
Anyway I ordered myself a burrito al pastor. The meat was damn good! I think the only other al pastor meat that beats it, for me, would be from Tacos Azteca on Tropicana and Nellis. It oes down for me like this… Al pastor meat 1) Tacos Azteca, 2) Casa Tlaquepaque, 3) El gordos tacos. So the meat was great! I wish I could have tastes the beans and rice separately, but I did not. I am a big rice fan after all. But that meat really took command in the burrito. That burrito was done quick! I definitely enjoyed the location because the inside really reminded me of a lot of restaurants down there. Just the simple color scheme of it and the design is simple. The name also grabs your attention. The food looks exactly to the pictures.

Being from Jalisco this place comes in pretty close! First time I came I ordered a torta Ahogada (wet sandwich) with a side of rice and beans. It tasted like the one back home. I don’t get how ppl can give this place bad reviews if anything it’s underrated! We don’t have many restaurants here in Vegas based of (estilo Guadalajara) besides the torta Ahogada place down on Charleston, today my grandma was craving some birria and we brought here here, now my grandma is known for judging Mexican eateries since she has that (I can make this better at home attitude) she thought food was amazing! Enough said! Don’t judge on your first visit come down again! Try a casuela the infamous Guadalajara tequila beverage. In posting pictures from today’s visit and the one from a couple of months ago. food is bomb dot com! If you’re from Jalisco Mexico this place comes in 1^st place for a restaurant based in Vegas! (My abuela said to type that)

Super fast service and great food we got to sample the Lamb Soup last time and OMG im ordering that today. we ate here last weekend using a
coupons glad we did… menus are mostly in spanish and i dont speak Spanish.. however.. we were able to communicate with the staff and got more than what we asked for great food and service… cant wait till next weekend to try something again

Really good enchiladas with a spicy red sauce. Clean restaurant. The beans had good flavor but were kind of thin. Rice had canned or frozen vegetables in it. They’re close to my with and it’s a place I’ll visit again.

The first few times I called I was bounced around from employee to employee because nobody can speak English. I decided to come in person and ordered two lunch specials, one was a steak quesadilla and the other was for a friend who wanted chicken tacos. Both items came with rice and beans. I brought the food back to work and ate… and was disgusted. The meat in my quesadilla was mostly fatty and barely any cheese. The rice reminded me of knock off Asian rice because it had corn and carrots, which was all bland. The beans were watery and runny as well. My co worker refused to eat hers based on presentation. Her chicken tacos looked like cat food. This place just isn’t good at all… not recommended.

Un lugar muy lejos de la strip pero con una comida tan sabrosa vivo en Hawaii pero soy de Guadalajara Asi que la comida que tienen ahi me cayo de lo lindo la birria super sabrosa las tortas ahogadas para chuparse Los dedos las tostadas de cueritos sabrosisimas great food at a great price

Beware this place place is so over priced no wonder this place is so loney, and the waitress has the worst attitude. Went in there just for two tortas ahogadas and ended paying $ 30.00 I will never come here again!!! I Will glady take my business elsewhere.
