THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE - THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD! Now granted it happened to be the night of the University of Pittsburgh's Graduation which happened to coincide with my wedding anniversary but really it was crazy! My special occasion was just as important as everyone else! However, the main course I desired was unavailable so I settled for a second choice that ended up tasting like something from Long John Silver! Greasy over cooked shrimp! I'm over giving this place big praise. Yes the view is nice but it really does take one bad visit to change someones mind. I won't be going back.

The only authentic izakaya of Las Vegas, definitely worth visiting for a casual night out with hungry friends. If you love to drink and enjoy authentic, off the beaten path menu items of Japan uncommon at your local Japanese restaurant, this is the place for you. Be prepared and keep in mind that it's an izakaya where quiet dining is not to be expected. Despite this jewel of a find out here in the desert I give it only four stars due to the rather disappointing ramen experience which was nothing more than what it seemed like noodles in miso soup. I have yet to find a good ramen place which unfortunately does not exist in Las Vegas...

First time at Zio: I was welcomed very well. I had a glass of Zin suggested by John. Good and affordable. I chose to take out and ordered the homemade fettuccini with spinach, white beans and tomatoes. Nice flavors. I'll go back.

I'm still trying to figure out how I lived seven-ish years in Ahwatukee, and somehow missed out on Los Taquitos! Came here a few weeks back with Yelpers Monica O., Cheryl B., Shannon E. and Rick N. for a lovely workday lunch. If it's your first visit, you absolutely MUST try the infamous street tacos. My first go, I tried the Carne Asada, Pollo, and Fish three taco meal with rice and beans. They were all delicious, but the Carne Asada was the star. Some of the best I've had in a long time. The spices worked well together, and no tough pieces were to be found. The Red Salsa they top everything with is nothing short of amazing. It's not blazing hot, but tastes great. I enjoyed it so much I dragged my Dude back out a Saturday that same week, where we discovered the Carnitas are right up there with the Carne Asada! Very tender, and it tasted like some type of apple and brown sugar rub was used. And again for another workday lunch when I got stuck on a client call and missed a vendor provided lunch. This place is small and gets packed at high noon quickly. Call it a dive; call it a dump. If you're coming here for ambiance (not delicious tacos), you're doing it wrong! I look forward to trying other menu offerings at Los Taquitos, but for now, I'm hung up on those amazing street tacos. Update 9/18: Tried the Bombero Burrito con Pollo. Do not order this if you hate spicy; also, it's massive (see photos) so SHARE. Barely ate half! Was able to sample the Vegetarian tacos, also delicious.
