La Mojarra Loca is a Mexican Restaurant with at least three locations in Las Vegas. The North/West Location is highly decorated inside with loud Mexican Music filling the air.

This location has bar seating, traditional tables, and booths. The menu here is seafood heavy. They offer Mexican Sushi, Ceviche, Mexican Specialties, and Fish Dinners.

Whatever you order they start you off with complimentary chips and spicy salsa.

We tried margaritas. They seemed sweet and fruity. They didn’t taste strong but built up tp have a good kick to them.

I tried the Filete al mojo de Ajo.

They gave a very generous portion of mild white fish that is in a citrusy, garlicky, buttery sauce with rice, salad garnish, and I substituted vegetables for beans. This was all reasonably good and was LESS than $20. (subject to change). For some people this is two meals.

My husband tried the Molcajete Triol (shrimp, chicken, beef, cactus, avocado, jalapeños, spicy sauce). With rice, beans, tortillas.

It’s an enormous amount of food for any mortal.

The chicken was tender like butter and infused with good flavors. Shrimp were slightly over done. Beef was tasty but a little chewy.

Maybe not perfection but reasonably good, generous portions, and low pricing.

Worth a Try!

China Kitchen newly opened in North Las Vegas. It is an American/Chinese dine in or take out kind of restaurant. This restaurant shares a nice community patio with several other places and it was a nice day today so I wanted to try it. We did take out and sat on the patio.

Maybe the best of what we tried was the potstickers (chicken & scallion).

They are crispy all over but have little flavor.

We got free vegetable egg rolls with our purchase so we tried them.

To us they are more like spring rolls and are kinda gooey inside. (ick)

I tried the Hot Garlic Szechwaun Chicken.

The chicken is tender but doesn’t taste hot or garlicky. It taste very sweet. So sweet that you can pour it on pancakes. You can add on rice, fried rice, or noodles so I tried noodles.

It’s a very large portion. They have little flavor and are slightly over cooked and are a little gummy.

The Kung Pao Beef is hard to eat because the beef is very chewy.

My husband thought that the added on fried rice was ok.

My small dog thought that the Hot Garlic Szechwan Chicken was too sweet too!

That was my trip to China Kitchen. – Not the best.

Scoundrels Tavern & Eatery is a 24/7 Bar, Gaming, and Restaurant with two locations in Vegas. The North Las Vegas Location has a covered patio and the usual games and big screen TVs inside.

We decided to try the macaroni and cheese bites.

They were fried nicely and seemed free of oil. They also came with ranch dressing. They taste similar to that blue box type macaroni and cheese. (kinda artificial)

Who knew that the Thai Salad would be really good!

The chicken is warm and moist. The salad is a very generous portion and is really embellished with lots of things. There’s peanuts, mandarine oranges, zucchini strings, carrots, bean sprouts, sweet tomatoes, greens, and a sorta spicy peanut-tee dressing.

The Smokehouse Bacon Burger didn’t come out medium-rare as requested.

I was told that the cheese, onion straws, and bacon were very good…….but….The burger was dry, dense, and cooked to medium-well instead of medium-rare. The fries were also kinda hard and dry.

Good Thai Style Salad but not so good burger or macaroni and cheese bites unless you love the blue box stuff.

Cafe Peru is a small casual Peruvian Restaurant that offers a few ceviche appetizers, a few Peruvian Sandwiches, empanadas and a few more things. It’s extra casual. You order and pay at the counter and seat yourself.

We started out by sharing a fish ceviche.

It’s made of lime marinated fish with seasoned onions, crisp plantain strips, corn nuts, sweet potatoes, and Peruvian Corn. Green salsa and spicy creamy orange salsas were also served. It good but I think the corn (maybe?) should be cooked more because it still is a bit tough to eat.

my husband tried the Pork Sandwich.

It came with onion salsa and in the sandwich was sweet potatoes.

These sandwiches are quite large and are extra packed…….He said that the flavors are very good and the sweet potato adds a nice creamy sweetness to the sandwich.

I tried the Chicken Sandwich. To my surprise it’s chicken salad.

It’s enormous! Even half is enormous. It’s creamy and good. Maybe slightly too creamy but it taste good. I added some green salsa to it to perk it up.

Cafe Peru is Worth a Try!

Lemongrass & Lime is a Thai Restaurant with two locations in Las Vegas Nevada. The Summerlin location has traditional tables and booths inside. This location doesn’t have a bar but wine is available.

They offer a variety of appetizers and most of your expected Thai Dishes.

My most recommended appetizer is the insanely delicious Golden pouches below. They are crispy won ton wrappers filled with mashed potatoes. They sit in the really yummy massanman curry with shallots. It’s a FORKING YUMdinger.

A few of the other appetizers are –

Vegan Fried Cauliflower

Crispy Spinach Salad

All the entrees are delicious –

Red Curry Halibut Special

Garlic Eggplant with Chicken

Garlic Short Rib with Fried Rice

Drunken Noodle Combo

Salmon Green Curry (anything green curry is another favorite)

Khan Soi – Massanman & Yellow Curry with Egg and Crispy Noodles with Chicken

We also enjoyed the unusually scrumptious Spicy Thai Chocolate Cake Special

Lemongrass & Lime is Worth a Fork!

Flecha Cantina is a Modern Mexican Restaurant and Bar by Actor and Local Resident Mark Wahlberg. They offer a slightly elevated take on your usual Mexican Type Food Restaurant. We’ve been here three times and on every visit they gave us complimentary passionfruit margaritas on our way to be seated.

Then they start you off with complimentary fresh chips and salsa.

Goat Cheese with Spicy Tamarind Sauce and Pistachios with Fried Pita Breads (This is very delicious and also is a very large serving)

Balsamic Beet Salad with Achiote Chicken (slightly fancier salad with extra moist and flavorful chicken)

Lunch Burrito Bowl with Salmon – (good but less flavorful than other dishes I tried here)

Fajita Salad with Achiote Chicken (Even on this visit the chicken was moist and flavorful)

Carnitas – First visit this was perfect. Second visit still delicious but not as perfectly moist

Chile Relleno with Shrimp – This was prepared perfect and was very tasty

Fried Ice Cream – Impressive and good ice cream but not crazy about all the cereal on and with the ice cream here.

Flecha Cantina – Mostly very good and still Worth a Fork!
