360 Vegas Review: Hencho en Vegas @MGM Grand Spring 2014

Download MP3

For those that enjoy food, Vegas is a place whose vast offerings, in all styles of cuisine, can take you on an amazing quest, taking years to complete, to find the best experiences of your life.  Some would argue the journey is the best part and they may be right. But the experience of eating something you love, and tasting it like you never have before or even knew was possible is an experience everyone should have before they die. 

Hecho en Vegas, Spanish for “Made in Vegas”, was that kind of experience.  Just like the Spanish settlers that originally stumbled upon a lush patch of landscape in the desert and named it The Meadows, the Spanish translation of Las Vegas, we found it by shear happenstance. From the moment you sit down, you feel like a guest whose residence are so proud of what they’ve created, they can’t wait to share it with you.  Friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable about flavors, textures and what they have to offer to suit your individual palette, this is what Mexican food is supposed to taste and service is supposed to be like.

360 Vegas Reviews: Tacos & Tequila @Luxor Summer 2012

Download MP3

From the outside, T&T or Taco’s and Tequila looks like it could be a tattoo parlour more than a restaurant.  This 8,000 square foot restaurant’s open-air concept, styled with industrial steel lighting and décor accents, creates an edgy and hip vibe. 

Inside, the restaurant is styled with a mix of both modern Mexico and lavish Vegas. The colour scheme is a blend of dark wood furniture with rich red highlights and contrasted against brushed steel. The centerpiece of the bar is a metal sombrero sculpture with hand blown glass. All this styling is surrounded by 4 large murals that are painted onto the walls, featuring provocative Mexican styled artwork.

The food is modern takes on traditional Mexican food, offering unique options in familiar settings, like a Mediterranean taco filled with falafel.  With bold flavours, strong drinks and cool atmosphere, T&T is a great choice to do everything from meet up with your friends for a drink or sit down and enjoy a meal, oh yeah, and did we mention the over 100 types of tequila to choose from.
