Chayo Mexican Kitchen + Tequila Bar

Very affordable food, especially on Taco Tuesdays! 50% off Taco Platters and BOGO margaritas!
The chips and salsa is very good. The salsa is thick and spiced just right!

No avocado no anejo tequila. Hello fn Super Bowl? Unbelievable!
Never ever again! So very unhappy.

SLOWEST SERVICE EVER!
Ok, giving it 3 stars because the atmosphere was fun, the food we ordered was good and there is a rooster you can ride for free, but honestly we waited for everything for SO long and there were workers around.
We got here around midnight to get some drinks at the bar and an app and see if we could drink up the courage to ride the rooster.
I ordered a blue moon ($ 6) and my friends got their peach margarita for $ 14. We also ordered a round of tequila shots. Apparently their house tequila is $ 13 or you can get Sauza for $ 10– NO THANKS! We went for their house tequila and saved us a hangover.
They brought out the drinks after waiting a while and never brought any salt! I waited for someone to come over but no one came, eventually I walked to the bar and asked the one bartender if I could have a salt shaker.
We also ordered chips and salsa ($ 3) and their queso dip which was about $ 12 – 14 I can’t remember. The chips came out after the server said he was sorry and it was supposed to come sooner, but we waited another 5 – 7 minutes for the queso dip. At that point we had been there for nearly 25 minutes.
We ended up riding the rooster which was fun! If you’ve ever wanted to ride a bull but didnt have the courage to do it in front of a large crowd, this is the place to come on Saturday night. There weren’t many people around and everyone was having fun.
If the service wasn’t so terrible, maybe I would come back to try their dinner.

Surpassed (low) expectations with a decent soup pit stop. Friendly service and the food wasn’t bad at all.

I am out with a group of 30 for dinner. The service is wonderful as they are keeping the water glasses full and drinks coming. ;)
You have to see the rooster it is halarious to see folks flying off big and small.
We are here on Taco Tuesday so we ordered the Carne Asad and Mahi Mahi Tacos.

Christina is THE BOMB!!! The took care of a table of 16 by herself and kicked it solid!!!
Food was fantastic — drinks flowed — service was above and beyond!
Ask for her!

A Vegas trip to celebrate my son’s 21^st brought us to Chayo. Our server RAUL was terrific. He was charming, efficient, funny and helped me make selections (based on my food allergies). He treated my son with respect and made our B-​day dinner one worth remembering! We would definitely come back and of course we will ask for Raul too!
Portions were good, food was yummy, and the drinks although not strong, (happy hour, 2 for 1), were at least tasty!

Chayo Mexican Kitchen is located in The Linq. My boyfriend and I went in today around 3pm and I was surprised it was really crowded and realized it was football season LOL. The front had a nice fireplace and I had a feeling was going to be a classy place. When we walked in I was surprised how cool the place looked. They had beautiful chandaliers, a huge bar, and even a mechanical Rooster. Our server is Jordan. We had the Chayo margarita, not strong, like lemonade was tasteful. We had Tacos platter-​3 shrimp tacos with rice and beans, it was $ 18 portion was enough for one person so it was pricey but hey its the Strip price. Then I went to ride the Rooster not bull LOL. Just ask the waiter and he will give you a ticket. It was a fun experience but too pricey for me.

Cheers with this Bloody drink for breakfast. Excellent breakfast for two. Sit near the back by the bar. The restaurant is dark. You can enter through the casino or access the entrance from the Linq.

My husband and I ended up here out of convenience after an event at The Linq. It was a weeknight and they were busy, but not busy enough to have a wait for a table.
My first thought when we walked inside was that it was a little on the loud side for a weeknight. I would get it on a Saturday night, but usually weeknights are more mellow.
We started with Chips & Salsa which were good, but are additional instead of included like most Mexican restaurants. It happened that we had come in on taco Tuesday when tacos were 50% off so we ordered tacos. We both thought our tacos were pretty good and enjoyed our meals. I also ordered a side of Mexican Street Corn which I thought was very good.
So, we liked our food, why a three star? I understand that places on the strip or in this area are going to be a little on the expensive side, but this one is too much. Even with half off taco night it was overpriced. I would only return when they are running a deal because I couldn’t justify paying full price here.

Groupon strikes again!!!
Service was good here… Although, he didn’t know about the groupon deal they had going on. Can’t fault him for it… That’s on management. Once he figured out how to handle it… Then it was smooth sailing.
We had two house margaritas, which I was happy to know weren’t made with gold/​mixto. Seared in a small coupe with ice. They were just «alright». I prefer margaritas made with a house made sour. I can’t be certain there’s isn’t… But it surely didn’t taste like it.
We ordered the lobster taco platter equipped with rice, beans, a verde sauce and three lobster tacos. I’ve never had lobster tacos before, let’s just say it was a surprise to my taste buds. Also cane with chips and guac!

The Linq, its Outdoor Mall stores, the High Roller Wheel
is good for one maybe two visits by out of towners. Flamingo, Cromwell Casino is So So Tiny. Chayo is expensive. Think most Diners will face Big Foodie Hits or $$Disappoints. I liked the Steak Fajitas, pork rind with awesome AWESOME GUAC. Being that this is Vegas we can Blow this Dinner cost quickly on the Slots. Thus I feel on the good foods we had was 5 stars. The bad foods 1 star. The prices 2 stars. The Comfy interior 4 stars. The only sad thing is with our $ 70 for dinner we COULD HAVE WON $THOUSANDs on Slots. But thats Vegas. What happens in Vegas… Stays in Vegas. Would you Feel Raped? Can we say Happy. Ok. Chayo’s, the Linq, its Outdoor stores Unilocal Rated… 3.5 stars.
Oh if you do the High Roller Wheel this time of Year… you will freeze freeze freeze freeze your butt off.
Oh. What the Hell man. No Salsa came with our MEXICAN FOODS. At $ 70

Food can be better, we ordered a breakfast burrito and huevos rancheros; they were fair. The burrito had white rice, not Spanish rice and claimed to have bacon, but I doubt it.
Only had 1 huevos instead of the typical 2 like every other place, and paid 9 dollars for a mimosa the size of a 5 oz glass!
Overall I would go somewhere else, don’t bother going here.

If you’re hangry and you just can’t hold out there food is good. The nachos were tasty and my friends enjoyed the empenadas.
In my opinion it’s not worth the price and it’s definitely white-​mexican food. To boot the service is non existent. Seriously, our plates were never cleared, my beer was served with remnants of head dried on the inside of the glass (that means it sat for a very long time on the bar before it made it to me) and I had to flag down our server to get our check, a good 25 minutes after we were done eating and still staring at our plates.
It’s definitely not worth the price of admission.

We went here twice on are holiday and I loved it we had tacos they were the best I have ever tasted. They have taco Tuesday and it’s $ 3 each but if you get three you get rice and spices beans and it’s just delicious. I also has a magerita and they was lovely too i tried a salty and sour and they were both tasty.
The atmosphere was great Really friendly staff they couldnt do enough for you. When I’m next in Vegas I’m definitely returning.

I was pleasantly surprised with this place after reading everyone else’s reviews. My boyfriend and I first went to the bar first since we were super early for our reservation time.
The service was great but the margarita I got was nothing special. It was the Chayo margarita and I honestly could not taste any alcohol in it at all.
For dinner we moved over to the dining area where we got to enjoy dinner and a show when a group of older ladies decided to give the cock a ride. Pure entertainment!
The food was pretty great too! We had the chips and salsa and guacamole as starters since I couldn’t decide between the two. I loved the salsa! It was very fresh tasting and just the right amount of spice. The guacamole was good too but nothing too spectacular.
For entrees we had the shrimp tacos and burger. I personally loved my tacos! My boyfriend said the burger was good too. We will definitely be back soon! Looking forward to trying out taco Tuesday’s that our waiter recommended!

3.5 stars.
We came here on a Thursday night around 11 for a late dinner. We loved the atmosphere– great music playing, beautifully set up bar, and a bull in the middle that’s free to ride– just tip the guy.
We ordered a few appetizers to start which were the ceviche and the queso. The ceviche was ehhh ok– 3 stars. It was really thick and needed a little more spice to it. The queso was great! We really enjoyed that. It came with only 4 small tortillas– it needed to have more because of the amount of queso you receive. For dinner my friend and I shared the carnitas tacos. They were decent/​the rice and beans that came with it were very bland– definitely not home made. Two of our other friends got the lobster tacos and the steak quesadilla.
We got a few drinks and mine was the peach margarita/​it was yummy! The service was lacking we didn’t have any utensils or extra plates when the appetizers arrived.
Decent place overall.

I kind of wish I had read the Unilocal reviews before eating here but such is life. After some thinking, I believe this restaurant is short staffed. The hostess was friendly and explained to us that there would be about a 30 – 45 minute wait so she said she would text us when the table was ready. We decided to walk around and get some Starbucks to pass the time. After no notification, we walked back where the hostess said she had called us twice. She was really sweet and let us sit in a booth upon request. Half of the restaurant was empty so we didn’t understand why there was a wait but again, maybe it had something to do with them being a short staffed?
Our waiter came and brought us some waters. We ordered some drinks and after receiving them we didn’t see him for awhile. We saw two women from another table bring their receipts to talk to him. I’m assuming some drama went down because it wasn’t until another 20 minutes went by that another waiter came and told us he would be taking over. Our food came out 20 minutes later and it was okay. I ordered the Sweet Corn Enchilada.
The bathroom is upstairs and there is a bathroom attendant. She was very kind, however this made me feel incredibly uncomfortable because I was the only one in there and I didn’t have any cash with me to tip. I just feel uncomfortable any time there is a bathroom attendant anywhere honestly.
Overall, the staff was nice but the food and service were eh. I wouldn’t come back here and pay $ 16 for their enchilada again.
