text: When reading one of Vegass local magazine I happened across a food review that touted Phat Phranks as having the best Mexican food in Las VegasnnIn my youth consumption of Mexican food in Vegas was usually only done after indulging of some nonalcoholic Roy Rogers and Shirley Temples on the Strip extra grenadine of course P In those days I would be willing to wager that you could have fried a shoe and it probably would have tasted good to me nnBut this article indicated that Phat Phranks was pretty darn good and I was craving some carne asada so nnI arrived at about pm on a Thursday and the place was hopping A line of about people quickly formed which gave me some time to peruse a laminated menu for what I wanted to eat I settled on a carne asada burrito with a drink for about dollars Frank gave me a number and told me to pick a seat and they would bring my food out to me About minutes passed and a reasonable sized carne asada burrito was delivered to me nnStand by for carne asada burrito dissectionnnTortilla This was ok had the consistency of a whole wheat tortilla a bit harder nnCarne Asada While this was seasoned appropriately I was a bit disappointed at how much of the Carne was too fat to eatI am used to a little bit here and there but about a of my burrito was annoyingly fatty nnBeans Beans were flavorfully nonoffensive and did not take away from the meat thankfully nnSo all in all Phat Phrankss was Phrankly ok The reviews on Yelp make me think that maybe that was just a bad burrito day for Frank and his family Unfortunately I have yet to try Mexican food outside of California that is worth a repeat trip but I am willing to go back to Phranks and try something else next time I am in Vegas to see if I feel any differently
