Burrito Tyme is a small casual Mexican Restaurant located by a gas station in North Las Vegas Nevada. It’s very casual. You order and pay at the counter. Next to the cashier is a small bar of salsas, limes, radishes, pickled carrots, and grilled jalapeños and maybe a few more things so you can dress up your order as you like.

It’s small but they offer a long menu of all kinds of things like breakfast, and of course burritos, quesadillas, tortas, tostadas, enchiladas, tacos, combo plates, fajitas, taco salads and MORE! Mostly soft beverages are available (I only noticed a bottle of sangria but wasn’t sure if it had alcohol in it because it looked more like a soda?)

I tried three tacos – a fish taco, a chicken taco, and an asada taco (steak)

Above is the fish taco and the asada (steak) taco.

They are much larger than I was expecting and are also very generously packed.

The first one I tried was the chicken taco. (lower left side below.

It’s well packed and doubled shelled with white corn tortillas that I can’t separate ……The chicken is ok….this tacos also is dressed with pico and guacamole…..The asada is next……I’m surprised….the beef isn’t chewy…..it’s ok ………My favorite of the tacos is the fish taco……It’s the one with lots of crunchy lettuce. The fish is fried really perfect. It moist, fresh tasting, and meaty inside with a shattering crisp crust. It’s different than any other fish taco I’ve tried anywhere. It’s dressed with Mexican tartar sauce…..This one is my favorite I’ll come back to get this again.

My husband tried adobada (pork) and carnitas (pork) tacos and a combo plate of a chile relleno with a cheese enchilada that comes with rice and beans.

The chile relleno is unique from others we’ve tried. Inside is a fresh roasted poblano type pepper with lots of white melty cheese encased in a light bread-ee fried batter. My husband said the beans were good.

Worth a Try!

Saffron Flavors of India might be the only Indian Restaurant near North Las Vegas Nevada. We decided to give them a try.

It’s nice and neat inside.

Some alcohol is served here.

We started out by trying the gobi manchuriam (cauliflower appetizer in Chinese style sauce)

It taste like Chinese Take out……It’s kinda sweet and kinda spicy with not too much in-between….We ordered #8 out of #10 for heat……It’s not crispy like from other places I’ve tried……..Not sure that the cauliflower is battered or not…seems like just vegetables and a sweet and spicy sauce. Different….I’ve never had this dish like this before.

This restaurant does have dishes on the menu that you don’t find at other restaurants like the Frankie Naan. It’s like a cheese stuffed Indian Pizza (cheese stuffed Indian type bread topped with garlic, basil, spinach, cilantro, and pesto.)

It’s tasty.

Then we shared a few dishes.

Goan Fish Curry – ginger, tomato, coconut curry sauce #7 out of #10 heat

Makhi (butter) Curry with Chicken #7 out of #10 for heat.

Both curries are #7 out of ten for heat and both are just above mild. n the lower right hand corner is the Goan Fish Curry. The dominate flavor of the curry is ginger. I would recommend not to order the fish here….It’s stronger than I enjoy…..

On the upper part of the plate is the Makhi (butter) Curry with chicken…..The white meat chicken is prepared nicely and is tender. The sauce is fragrant and more balanced than the Goan Fish Curry….For my taste this one is much better but it is different from what I tried from other Indian restaurants that I’ve been to. Different isn’t negative…..It just means different.

I noticed Rogan Josh on the menu and that is a dish I haven’t found before in Indian Restaurants that I’ve been to.

That was my trip to Saffron Flavors of India.

Nusr-et Steakhouse is a Steakhouse by Chef Nusret Gokce who is known by the name Chef Salt Bae.

Nusr-Et Steakhouse is in almost 30 locations across the world including places like Istanbul, Dubai, London, Mykonos, Miami, and LAS VEGAS just outside of the New York New York Casino/Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Quality flake salt is the signature of this restaurant and it is sprinkled on most things savory.

The steaks run up in Price to $1,500.

Nusr-Et also offers a three course Lunch Special for $39.00. I thought this would be an amazing opportunity to try Nusr-Et.

The Las Vegas location looks like this with a big modern attractive bar in the middle of the lower floor of the restaurant.

A larger than life portrait of Chef Salt Bae is in the middle of the room.

We shared the appetizers and started with the salmon tartare. It sure looks AMAZING but doesn’t taste amazing.

It taste like salmon that is mixed with mayonnaise on top of creamy avocado that is embellished on the top with crisp (maybe freeze dried) capers (I don’t think they are fried because when capers are fried they open up like flowers …and have some flavor). On the plate is an artistic red splat that looks incredible but doesn’t add anything……….Honestly I think a few ingredients are missing from this dish today.

Next we share the best of what I tried at Nusr-Et.

It a BIG Nusr-Et Salad. (greens, tomato, apple, walnuts, feta, raisins, cherries, pomegranate dressing)

The salad is big and fresh. Everything is fine here.

Now on to the mains…..I’ll show my husband’s main first because the picture shows what is wrong better. He got the 5 oz. New York Strip with mashed potatoes.

You can tell just by looking at the photo that this doesn’t taste good. THE STEAK is tender but THE STEAK IS GREY. It’s NOT SEARED. The grill marks look like they possibly could be painted on? The steak is salted but other than salt it’s tasteless………Sadly to admit that the mashed potatoes are stomach turning to be. They are gluey……..I KNOW that for $39. for three courses I don’t expect a high quality steak but it is so easy to make a cheap steak taste at least good……..Don’t mean to brag but even I can make a cheap steak taste good….see picture below.

Would you prefer this? (sometimes I salt crust the potato)

Or this?

ANYWAYS-

I got the 5 oz filet mignon. It sure looks better and also is tender but also is next to tasteless……..Salty and not much else. To me the mushrooms are too salty too.

We also shared a side of macaroni and cheese.

It looks great and does taste like it was made with real cheeses but has a weird texture and doesn’t taste right. It’s very grainy and the sauce looks good but taste like it is missing something…………..It’s missing either butter or milk….take like cheese and water……(maybe that is why it’s grainy?)

The baklava is ok…….and not too sweet.

Never had Turkish Ice Cream before so I’m not sure what it is suppose to be like but this I can’t stomach. My husband can’t eat it either……..It’s so strange. It’s sort of hard and chewy in a really weird way.

To me the three course $39.00 lunch at Nusr-Et was disappointing.

I do note that your experience and taste may indeed differ.
