Diego
$$-$$$, Mexican, MGM Grand Hotel and Casino
Fodor's Review:
This isn't your typical Americanized Mexican food, but rather authentic regional cooking served in a whimsically decorated space decked with hammered-tin mirrors, bright red walls, and a well-dressed crowd. Sink into the arroz a la tumbada, a brothy Mexican paella of white rice studded with shrimp, scallops, mussels, calamari, and roasted tomatoes, or opt for the carne asada de la tapatia, a beef rib eye marinated in red chili adobo, then grilled over a wood fire and topped with black beans and a salsa made with tequila, roasted cactus, and onion. Roll-'em-yourself soft tacos of garlic-lime-marinated skirt steak or chicken are also exceptional. Diego serves only 100% blue agave tequilas and mescals and offers more than 90 varieties of the stuff to choose from. Our favorite menu pick? The frozen-fruit margarita on a stick. There's a handy to-go window to grab a bite on the run.

Food was okay. The soft tacos were tasty but nothing special. The Pork tasting was a soup served without a spoon so we had to ask for one. Just an average dinner.Holy Guacamole

We have eaten here several times and every time that we go, we get the tableside guacamole service, which is excellent - they will fix it as you prefer. Most of the time, service is very good, although one night we went and just wanted the guacamole and the goat appetizer and we were treated somewhat shabbily.
