DINING
Snack
Attack
Sometimes we crave meals that are unhurried
and upscale; other times, quick and casual hits
the spot. When it comes to tacos, the simplest
approach often reigns supreme: wrapper, hand,
mouth. Fortunately for Las Vegas, acclaimed
chefs have opened fast-casual spots along The
Strip to satisfy every craving—so the only thing
between you and carne asada is the counter.
Michelin-recognized chef, cookbook author,
and restaurateur Rick Bayless highlights the
torta—a meat-filled sandwich that’s kind of like
a taco but on thicker bread—at Tortazo in
Caesars Palace. Try the beef quesabirria with
red chile braised beef, roasted onions,
Chihuahua cheese, cilantro, and onion, served
with broth for dipping. caesars.com
Inside The Venetian Resort’s new Via Via
food hall, Ray Garcia’s B.S. Taqueria, exported
from Los Angeles, serves up three street tacos
per order—choose from pollo, carne asada, or
hongos—on heirloom corn tortillas with guac,
onions, cilantro, and salsa. The menu has more
creative options as well, but nothing beats
simple and delicious. venetianlasvegas.com
Located next to Border Grill inside Mandalay
Bay, BBQ Mexicana, from chefs Mary Sue
Milliken and Susan Feniger, caters to those on
the go in search of a quick lunch or snack. All
meats are hormone-and-antibiotic free and
smoked in house for rich flavor.. Vegetarians
savor the mesquite-smoked tofu bowl with
cilantro-lime rice, quinoa, pickled vegetables,
smoked almonds, and signature barbecue sauce—
because carnivores can’t have all the fun.
