Where to go to find the best tacos in Las Vegas?
There can be some hefty conversation around tacos. Some say your best bet is finding a stand on the corner of the street, however this can be a highly stressful experience for the taco lover.

Here’s my list of top rated, vexed, tried and true, only the best taco spots in Las Vegas (organized by location for your convenience ;)).

Tacos El Gordo

Best tacos after a night out but you may have to wait in line! This no frills taco stand has been delivering tacos to the public for over 40 years. Starting with one location in San Diego, this family owned and operated business has expanded to the Nevada area, lucky us! Check out their Tijuana tacos, mulas, and loaded fries.

Tacos Los Barrios
A fantastic locally owned and operated food truck.

Los Molcajetes
This place serves breakfast through dinner everyday and even has live music on Sundays! Can 1,259 reviews on google be wrong? People say the prices are good and there’s a great variety on the menu. Established in 1979, their specialty is molcajetes which is a dish served in a warm stone bowl with generous amounts of cheese and your choice of chicken, beef, shrimp, or pork. But of course, the tacos are nothing to skip either. Just order everything.

Taqueria Casa del Pastor
*This spot has multiple locations!
Just a man, his stand, and some tacos. (Don’t worry there’s a few other things on the menu as well.) This spot is a cult favorite, not always known by its name but simply that taco stand on Tropicana. If what you’re looking for is a quick DELICIOUS bite, this is your stop. 3 tacos for $6, it’s simple and it’s good. I hear the fish tacos are something to try!

SOUTH LAS VEGAS
Taco y Taco
There is so much talk about this place, I think it’s a must try for a Vegas local. Started by a sister duo who wanted to bring classic ingredients with a modern twist. A slightly contemporary Mexican counter-serve joint with street tacos (you’ll find the classics and so much more) and a self-serve salsa bar!

Opening Hours: 11am-11pm Everyday
Panchos Vegan Tacos
Of course we needed to add a vegan spot in our list of “Best Tacos in Las Vegas!” There’s no need to deprive ourselves just because we prefer plants! Pancho Vegan Tacos is a vegan’s dream for quality plant based Mexican street tacos. There is absolutely no compromising on flavor here, with every vegan meat choice available and salsa spicy enough to wake up your mouth, you won’t be disappointed. Sit down or drive through to settle your taco Tuesday craving.

Voted Las Vegas review journal “Best of” Mexican Restaurant in 2020. You can be sure to enjoy the simplicity of their delicious tacos or try their legendary tamales. Don’t skimp on the margs either! This place has 30 years and counting of experience and they are still going strong.

Award winning non gmo and organic Mexican food. People go nuts over the guacamole but the tacos are nothing to forget. With three locations in Vegas, it’ll be easy to choose from. Come for the margarita Mondays, stay for the flan. Even if you don’t like flan, get the flan.
