text: Allow me to preface i seldom give or stars A lot had to be missing for any dining establishment to fall in this category nnit was a saturday night at the Cosmopolitan Hotel Casino H and I were in a hurry to grab a quick bite before heading to the Marquee Night club The cafe would surely prepare a hearty meal but as the minutes ticked away we knew that time was not on our side Luckily or unluckily in this case China Poblano jumped out of nowhere and had a sign that said to go or take out instantly i am thinking it is kind of like Taco Bell fast but let us just say that we are lucky to get our food in less than minutesnnthe menu was a fusion of chinese and mexican food unique not really anybody can make any type of meat and throw it in a tortilla she will and call it mexican food anybody creating this type of concept needs to think it through to create a unique dining experience for everyone who passes through the doors comeon people travel from all over the world to come to vegas is this is best meal the Cosmo can offer i believe notnnTHE PORK SIU MAI were a disgrace to Chinese people who invented this dish i have eaten this all my life in OC LA even SF and have never seen anything so tiny it was literally the size of a quarter all of them looking pretty sad and lonely in this takeout container that it was tossed into no shredded lettuce or cabbage for garnishment just puny little siu mais squished to the corner of the container i finished them in minutes and naturally was not full at all the taste it was ok not spectacularnnTHE TACOS that H had were another dismal dish that appeared from the same menu i cannot quite comment on the taste but the size was disappointingnnthe prices were not cheap both microscopic macroscopic items came in slightly less than what does money grow on trees Asians are taught to get the best bang for the buck and to bargain our way through life this time i felt jipped helpless left the establishment with a more than half empty stomach feeling robbednnTHE EXPERIENCEnok granted we order takeout but there was no place to sit outside in the hallways of the hotel it is just not sexy or classy to eat in the hallways meanwhile inside the bar was completely empty as in zero zip zilch nada patrons We asked the girl cleaning the bar if we could please sit there for a few minutes and she said yes then like a bat out of hell the hostess stormed over and said we cannot sit there what did you not realize we were not fighting for seats but actually making your establishment appear fuller than it is so she escorted us to these benches behind the bar with pillows that we could sit in for all the commotion that she caused by moving us we could have finished our food in the minutes that it requires to consume our socalled mealnnIN CONCLUSIONnthis place is not suitable in such a gorgeous hotel as the Cosmopolitan it does not compare to its elegance its grandeur and its sophistication the people who work there need to grace better manners and accommodate its patrons a little betternni would highly suggest you save your money and go to the cafe downstairs or win a couple of hands in blackjack and eat at Blue Ribbon Sushi or STK instead
