    Hands down, this place has some of the best food I’ve had in a long time! We ordered the tacos and something off the kids menu, and everything came out perfect—fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to and recommending to friends and family Great prize, great atmosphere great people amazing food

    Worth the drive from the MGM Grand . Delicious food and frozen drink specials here . Also I feel this place is popular with locals to sit at their large bar . We started with the traditional guacamole, which tasted very light and fresh and comes with spicy tortilla chips (but the free chips and 3 salsas is actually quite substantial on it's own.) My friend got a Dirty Banana frozen rum drink. Get that it's delicious and only like $11 or $12 dollars on the Summer drink menu . I had a Strawberry margarita (not frozen) and honestly it was not as impressive as the frozen drink I also tried the frozen Hola Colada and it was sweet and good too. Pro tip - let the frozen drinks sit a bit so you don't get brain freeze. For mains I got the Shrimp and crab enchiladas with Verde sauce . Absolutely delicious with a grill flavor on the Shrimp and real crab meat . Get this , the enchiladas are highly recommended. My friend enjoyed his Steak and mushroom enchiladas rojo too .We got a chocolate flan for dessert and it was very homemade tasting. Nice . The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. There's a little parking lot in front. Good spot for first night in Vegas.

    Had a great experience at Hola Mexican Cocina Cantina in the Southern Highlands! The area is super nice and parking was a breeze. Came for a family dinner and everything was spot on—staff was friendly, service was fast and efficient, and the food came out hot and full of flavor. Honestly, the food here is way better than El Dorado. The portions are big (you won’t leave hungry!), and the $15 dinner special was more than enough. They also have happy hour deals worth checking out. The vibe is clean, modern, and comfortable. Perfect for a chill dinner night. We’ll definitely be coming back!

    My son and I stopped in to try out this restaurant. We were greeted and promptly seated. Our server, Alyssa, was very personable by welcoming us and offering recommendations. The restaurant was tastefully decorated with a Mexican theme. The chips and pork rinds were absolutely delicious!! As was our food and specialty drinks. We both said that we would DEFINITELY be back and bring along our friends!!

    Our server, Kayla, seriously made my whole night. The service was quick, and she went above and beyond. This was our third time eating here and it gets better every time. My favorite items are the steak chimichanga, the fajitas, and the pomegranate margarita! Thanks Kayla for being awesome and so sweet. You’re a great server and we appreciate your kindness and hard work!

    A neighbor invited me to go here. Since moving from California most Mexican restaurants I’ve tried have not been good. I assumed this would be the same. IT WAS NOT THE SAME. The service was great, from the hostess with the warm smile to another server who asked me if I was being helped when she casually walked by with another tables food, to the bartender who was extremely busy, but gave a sincere smile each time she told me she’d be with me as soon as possible. They have a BOGO drink menu I took advantage of. I had a yummy spicy, Watermelon Margarita made with Mezcal. I ordered the Enchiladas Verde (my fav dish). The dish was very good. The only small detail I wish was different was the enchiladas. I wish they’d dip the enchiladas in the sauce or put some sauce inside the tortilla with the meat and some cheese. Inside my enchilada was a bit dry with only the meat. But, the meat was cooked well and nicely flavored. A good dish nonetheless. This was my second time here. The first time I ordered the nachos that were delicious and perfect. I’ll definitely be back.

    First time here from across town. Wanted to give it a try here. Great atmosphere & decor. Nice variety of items to choose from. Some items were really good while it seemed that other items were okay because it was as if they were trying to make the food good by over exaggerating on the seasoning, making it really strong. The esquites was good as well as the albondigas. The horachata coffee didn't taste like you would think it would taste like. Some people at the table tried it & really liked it. So give it a try to see what you think.
