Viva Elvis , viva Zapata, viva Arepas, viva Mercado, viva Michoacan ...so many vivas are popping up in viva Las Vegas and so many pupuserias but I'm not complaining, we need more options beside those fast food restaurants that only make you miserably fat, we need instead more places that make us happily voluminous. Enter...Viva El Salvador pupuseria restaurant. Here you can find many Salvadorian dishes but like all Salvadorian restaurants pupusas are the main star of the show, thick corn tortillas filled with your choice of ingredients like chicharron (pork) frijoles,(beans) queso (cheese) or revueltas (mixed) covered with curtido (pickled cabbage slaw) and tomato sauce. The good thing about ordering pupusas is that you can order only the amount you want, for me usually two are enough but it all depends on how fluffy you are, also don't forget to order some to go or you'll be wishing you did. Service is good, order at the counter, find a table and they'll bring the food to you. Place is clean and very affordable. I can't tell you that this are the best pupusas in town but I can tell you that they are very good and I'll be stacking on pupusas every time I'm in the area.......I give this place 4 stars, although everything here is made from scratch, it could be a little bit faster! Viva Yelp for showing me the way to this pupuseria!

Don't. Unless you're looking for a hometown buffet like experience and a bad upset stomach, just don't. Of all the Vegas buffets, I don't know how we landed here. After looking at a couple different buffets and getting frustrated with high prices, I really wish we had just splurged and gone some place more expensive. While flavors is one of the better "deals," you get what you pay for. We should have taken clues from the empty dining room but we still went for it. I stared in disgust at the subpar day old sushi, picked at the macaroni and cheese and found some barely palatable chicken wings. The desert selection was wide and all included some form of gelatin. The staff was all wonderful, friendly and attentive made the scary culinary experience slightly more pleasant.

It was between Bouchon and Aureole for dinner and we chose Bouchon based on the yelp reviews. Wish we hadn't. It was a loud experience, they were out of the dinner special, we waited an inordinate amount of time for our entree, and nothing about the food was particularly memorable. We have had better french bistro food from Bistro Du Coin in Washington DC then we had at this supposed "Five-Star Vegas Restaurant". The food is pricey for what you receive, and nothing on the menu is particularly impressive. Save your money and go somewhere else.

My mini late night w/ my hubby. Was the best experience that we had there. Our server Jesse was the the best server that we had for the many times we came. Food is delish. Tonight we had something different, the salmon salad. Normally I'm not a fan of salad, but I think next time i gotta have it again. I always come for the mushroom, walnut and spinach soup every time. It's a gotta have for me and so is the car bombs, but tonight I'm addicted to the body bomb. It's lighter in taste. It's perfect! It's not as rich as the orig. car bomb. Thanks Jesse for the recommendation.
