La Casa De Juliette – Mexican in Centennial Hills Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try!

Leave a reply

La Casa De Juliette is a full service Mexican Restaurant and Bar located in the Centennial Hills or North/West part of Vegas. It’s a little dark inside but well lite so you can read the menu.

They currently are offering lunch and a $21. special 2-course lunch.

I tried the fish tacos. They were HUMUNGOUS but more importantly REALLY DELICIOUS! Maybe the best I’ve tried in Vegas so far.

Plump moist mild whitefish with a creamy chipotle slaw and really great tasting pineapple salsa that they call “Pina Pico de Gallo.”

My husband tried the lunch special.

He started with the wings 1/2 mild 1/2 spicy

Unfortunately today someone over cooked the wings or they would have been good.

Then he had the brisket enchiladas.

The flavors are good but the brisket is over cooked today.

Previously we tried La Casa de Juliette for dinner and tried –

Bone Marrow Esquites
Cocktails
Family Style Platter

Not perfect but Worth a Try!

The FORKING Las Vegas FOOD Buzz of the Week

Leave a reply

Not only is my local Smith’s Grocery Store Filthy all the time, always has dead herbs, and usually has the wrong signs on some f the food. Just this week they had a broccoli crowns sign on peppers.

A smoked ham sign on King Hawaiian Rolls.

Dead herbs for sale.

Filthy refrigerators

Floors that need sweeping

Filthy self check out areas

Maybe the best of the week was Moo Woo Korean BBQ

We got way more than we could eat.

Most of the food was better than from my first visit but the downside was that my favorite dish (the Bulgogi Steak was not as good. Don’t know if we accidentally over cooked it or just a different cut that’s not as good?)

Maybe the worst of the week was the Szechwan Beef from Ellie’s Kitchen.

It wasn’t terrible but didn’t taste like Szechwan Beef. It taste like beef in beef gravy with a splash of soy sauce. NO HOT PEPPER for us. This place says that they serve authentic style Chinese Foods. Well not to everyone.

DOGS Dining mostly on Cheeseburgers in Las Vegas – July 2026

Leave a reply

It’s too hot to dine out with dogs in Vegas so we bring them back something or take them for a car ride to get something.

This time they got to try a Bobby’s Burger by Bobby Flay.

Seems like they’ve enjoyed it.

www.BobbysBurgers.com

They also got to try a chicken sandwich from Chicken Guy.

They enjoyed the chicken sandwich from Chicken Guy too!

www.ChickenGuy.com

They got a ride to In-N-Out Burger.

They ate the burger at home.

They always enjoy an In-N-Out burger.

www.In-N-Out.com

A bit of sad news.

The 14 year old Giant Aussie Can’t jump into the car now so The Beagle Mix took his first burger run ride alone to In-N-Out Burger.

But came home with a cheeseburger.

Another In-N-Out Cheeseburger.

Burrito Tyme – North Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try!

Leave a reply

Burrito Tyme isn’t a fancy place. It’s a small casual Mexican restaurant connected to a gas station in North Las Vegas Nevada. They offer things like breakfast, tacos, tostadas, combo plates, fajitas, cheeseburgers and bottled soft beverages. You can do take out or do some dining in.

It’s very casual. You order and pay at the counter. You pick it up when it’s ready and you can dress the food as you like with their salsa bar.

A chile relleno (fried battered poblano pepper stuffed with cheese) is tasty and you might want to give it a try.

Or maybe you want something like a taco salad.

Something more hardy is something like a green chile pork plate. (it comes with tortillas)

Or maybe you just want tacos

Not destination Mexican but neighborhood Mexican.

If you are in the area Worth a Try!

What’s Zaap? Thai Food – Really Great Thai Food – Las Vegas NV – Worth a Fork!

Leave a reply

What’s Zaap? Thai Food is located in Las Vegas Nevada sort of between Red Rock Casino and the Durango. If they seem familiar to you then maybe you saw them on Food Network on Diners Drive Ins and Dives.

They also won multiple awards. Some more are on a another wall.

They have these super special Chef Sauces and seasons that you should use to embellish your foods. (Special Chef Sauce Left side one from the end)

The crispy spring rolls are so unusually good we had to get them again. (Use just a drop or two of chefs special sauce with a small amount of sauce it comes with)

Las time I got the most amazing green curry salmon that I ever got in any Thai Restaurant.

LOOK how amazing the cook on it was.

You won’t get this at many restaurants PERIOD in Vegas. Oh and the flavors were just wonderful too.

Last time my husband got the dish that is often called Spicy Basil and also Pad Gra Pao.

This by FAR is the best Spicy Basil that we’ve tasted in Vegas. It’s well infused with HOLY BASIL (in case you don’t know that is the basil that you are suppose to use for this dish. Most places just use either regular or Thai Basil) Also the protein is hand chopped creating more surface area that that means more flavor. Many places just slice the protein.

This time I tried the basil eggplant with chicken.

It’s made with sweet white flesh eggplant and the chicken is tender and moist.

My husband tried the spicy basil with crispy pork belly.

It’s a slight up charge if you select Holy Basil for this dish. He loved this dish and it’s one of his favorites.

Most exciting meal out of the week was the Chef Fabio Viviani Italian Three Chickens Demo and Tastings at his restaurant ai Pazzi. The Chef was funny and entertaining and the tastings were more than most people can eat.

Also enjoyed some AMAZING Thai Dishes at 328 Thai. I have to say that the Shiso Leaves are amazing and so was the Sea Bass.

No Measurements Falling Apart Tender Chuck Roast Recipe

Leave a reply

I found a Chuck Roast on Sale so I thought I’d give it a try. (It weighted 2.12 pounds) It also came rubbed with salt, pepper, and garlic. (preheat oven to 275F)

I sliced up three onions.

grated 8 garlic cloves

sliced up two carrots

On the side I had a bowl and added filtered water.

To the water I mixed in a small can of tomato paste and added a heaping spoon of

Better Than Bouillon Brand Chipotle Soup base and mixed it up.

I poured it over the meat and vegetables in the pan till it was about 1 1/2 inches from the top of pan.

Than I covered the pan with foil.

I checked on it after 4 hours and it wasn’t done yet.

I check on it after 5 hours and much better but not tender as I wanted.

So I let it go 6 and 1/2 hours and this time I think it”s perfect.

It’s delicious and falling apart perfect and flavorful.

Got lots of Happy mouths here! Latter to serve I mixed in small pasta shells and sweet charred roasted corn kernels to serve and it was very delicious.

ENJOY!!!!

Fine Company – Burger YES – House Made Pastrami – NO – Las Vegas NV

Leave a reply

Fine Company is a casual restaurant located in the downtown Summerlin part of Vegas. They offer breakfast, baked goods, soup, salads, bowls, sandwiches, and a few dinners.

My husband decided to try a smash burger.

The burger comes on a house baked English Muffin. This platter comes with a side and some pickles.He said that the burger is juicy and delicious.

I tried the house made pastrami rueben (no cheese).

The meat tastes like smoke and black pepper. It is also not cooked enough because the fat is hard like dental floss. This isn’t very good to me.

Fine Company – Say yes to the smash burger but NO to the house made pastrami.
