    We went on a Saturday at 7 and it was packed. It took a few minutes to get sat with a reservation, but once we were at our table our server was pretty quick getting drinks and orders in. Highly recommend the frozen swirl margarita and single spinach enchilada as those were incredibly tasty. The small plate cheese quesadilla is definitely true to its name, though, so be sure you really don’t want much food before ordering (it was so small for its whopping $13.95 price tag that we forgot to take a picture of it). It was more expensive than my single spinach enchilada and still somehow a lot less food. Overall, I still had an enjoyable time. The service was quick and friendly for how incredibly packed they were, and the restaurant itself is really nice when it gets dark out. However, I would not recommend this place for larger parties. We had 7 and it was at times extremely difficult to hear each other over all of the other guests. If you have a smaller group and are closer to each other, it’s probably a lot better experience. It may also have just been where we were sat—the middle of the second floor. I will probably go back sometime with just my partner to try the enchiladas and margaritas again!

    We visited Lauriol Plaza on Mother’s Day. It was crowded but we were seated quickly. The young lady that helped us was attentive and the food arrived quickly. The tamales were tasty. The salsa had a little heat to it which was good. The carne asada was sizzling when it arrived. I liked the Mexican butter. The shrimp tacos were good. Overall, I would go back again to eat here. We also had the Margarita swirl which was good.

    Had a great time grabbing some drinks and food with my friends. The pitcher of sangria is a great deal, and it was delicious! My quesadilla nachos were amazing and unique.

    Had a wonderful dinner here with friends on a busy Thursday night. Get here early, or make a reservation. The aesthetic of the building doesn’t scream Spanish Restaurant, but it’s comfortable and dim. The fresh chips and salsa are great. We had many rounds of margaritas, all consistent. The menu is vast and fair for the location and portions. We spent over five hours here and our server was constantly filling drinks and taking good care of us. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.

    Parking wasn’t bad, but I might have gotten lucky. Worst case scenario, you park a 4-5 minute walk away. Was sat immediately. The place is HUGE. Don’t think that it’s not worth going if you don’t have a reservation. By huge, I mean 3 expansive floors, an outdoor seating area, and an indoor rooftop deck. I sat with a friend at the table furthest from the rooftop entrance. Cool view of the strip outside, and close to the bar. The food and drinks came out alarmingly fast. I had the crab and shrimp quesadilla, which quite literally came out in 4-5 minutes. The quesadilla had a good meat to cheese ratio (40:60) and was portioned well. It wasn’t soggy, which a lot of quesadillas have problems with, and paired well with the tomatoes, jalapeños and guacamole that came on the side. 10/10 The chips and salsa that came on the house were standard. The chips could use seasoning, and the salsa was the watery type, which isn’t my favorite. 5/10 The strawberry daiquiri was delicious- light, flavorful and fresh. 10/10 The lemonade (with lime added) receives the same regards. Fresh, the right amount of tartness and sweetness. 10/10 My friend’s review stats: Quesadilla- 8/10 Margarita on the rocks- 10/10 Chips and warm salsa- 9/10 Service was efficient.
