So Diablos is your place....I was just in Vegas and when I walked by Diablos, the place was going off. Diablos looked and sounded like the place to be for a good time.

I will be back in LV the 16th through the 19th...I will try and stop by to say hello and have a drink.

We stayed 2 nights downtown, and 2 nights at Monte Carlo. Definitely enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Although I have to say the later at night you go, the hotter the chicks working there get. So if you have never been, go later

I had the pulled pork sandwich as i am not into Mexican food that much and really liked it. It was different than your typical BBQ sand. My wife really liked the burrittos.

Anyways, when we go back to Vegas we will definitely be stopping in again.

I don't know about the Tequilas they offer, but if your looking for some good Mexican style food, Ricardos at the corner of Flamingo & Decatur, Baja Miguel's at the South Point Hotel & Casino and Don Miguel's at the Orleans Hotel & Casino are very good!

No disrespect by any means, but I think those choices are terrible. The "Miguels" are so-so, and Ricardo's went to hell many years ago. That thing has been sold off so many damn times, product consistency is just awful. Only 2 local places to get genuine "authentic" Mexican food IMO is Lindo Michoacan and Viva Mercados. We usually end up at Viva Mercados once a week... solid tequila selection as well.

If you want a bitchen tequila selection you go to Adams Rib Shack across from UNLV. He stocks around 250, +/-, tequilas.

I guess it's a matter of taste. I truly enjoy both of the Miguel's. I agree with respect to Ricardo's for the past several years, however, about 6 months ago, the Ricardo family has regained ownership of that location and has turned it back around.

^huh, no kidding... might make a trip back in there one day and give it a shot again.

I went to MiCasa in the Silverton Saturday night. The food is okay, the menu is very limited and a tad expensive IMHO. However, I wanted to mention their Tequila Shot Menu which seemed pretty nice. They have 50 different tequilas listed, a rather nice selection. Most shots were $5, $6 & 7, which is not too bad. Some were in the $9/$12 range and a few were $18, $20 & $24.

I must say that they make a very good Margarita and use Patron Silver for $7, a fair price now days.

Going back to Vegas next month and I was trying to remember which Lee's I went to on my first trip that had an incredible selection of tequila. It was literally 2 full aisles and a few locked cabinets.

My last trip to Vegas I never made it back to that one because I couldnt remember which it was. I went to the one in Henderson and that definitely wasn't it. I tried one other, but now I can't remember which that was ... but it had a pitiful selection.

I want to say the good one was on one of the Flamigos, but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know which Lee's it is that has the ridiculously large tequila selection?

Thanks.

BTW we went to Diablos Cantina on our last trip. I wasn't impressed with the Tequila selection, there just wasnt anything that I hadnt had before, but we were real impressed with their customer service. They offered us a free round of beer because they felt like our order was taking too long.
The bad part : $8 for a Dos Equis. Only in Vegas I guess.

I forgot the name, but the Tequila bar in Treasure Island was actually pretty good. Pink Taco is respectable and Diego's had a great selection.
