2007 Readers' Choice: Best Mexican Food. Craft-filled, pink stucco palace, part Antonio Gaudi, part Diego Rivera, and easily one of the most impressive off-Strip restaurants. Imaginative south-of-the-border fare like barbecued duck quesadillas and shrimp and crab enchiladas. Impressive tequila list is by Eduardo Gonzales from Cabo, brought to Vegas especially for this.

This is an upscale Mexican restaurant in terms of both decor and menu. We were served a colorful basket of warm tortilla chips along with 3 salsas. We shared a bowl of black bean and smoked cheddar soup that was finished with a spoonful of salsa fresca and cilantro. Ms. Westie ordered the shrimp and crab stacked enchiladas with sweet corn and chili sauce and micro greens. I opted for the taco sampler -- birria de chivo (marinated goat, avocado puree, cilantro and onion), carnitas with nopales salsa and tomato puree and fresh fish with Mexican slaw and salsa fresca. The kitchen made a mistake preparing carne asada (grilled skirt steak) instead of the carnitas, not a problem since all 3 tacos were delicious. When I brought the mistake to the waiter's attention, he offered to bring me an additional taco, but I was satiated and waived him off. I used a restaurant.com gift certificate.
