Viva Zapata’s is a Mexican Bar, Restaurant, and Gaming place in North Las Vegas Nevada.

The bar is in the middle of the restaurant and on both sides of the bar are tables and booths.

Whatever you order they start you off with complimentary chips, salsa, and bean dip.

Most meals include a cup of fideo soup.

I tried a chipotle caesar salad with added chicken.

The chipotle Caesar Dressing is actually very good. It taste like real Caesar but with some extra smoked chile. The chicken breast meat is nice and tender and developed with flavor. The salad is also generous in size. I got two meals out of it. For my taste the sweet moist corn cake is good but for me doesn’t work with the salad but you can eat it afterwards like dessert.

My husband tried the steak picado (ribeye). It comes in New York or for an upgrade to Ribeye. It’s cut into cubes and sautéed with onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro, and what they call Spanish sauce. It’s served with rice, refried beans, choice of house made tortillas and a little guacamole.

The beef was very tender but this is a very mildly flavored dish.

I noticed a WHOLE PAGE of seafood on their menu so I wanted to go back and try some.

I tried the Pescado Estilo Las Comadres (Whitefish in Spanish sauce topped with Monterey Jack cheese and served with rice and beans (no beans at my request)

It’s a VERY LARGE portion (for $20.95 subject to change) It came with a chip with guacamole. The fish is extra mild so it seems fresh. The sauce is mainly a rich tomato sauce. The cheese has more flavor than the fish. It’s not bad but I’ll try a different fish dish next time. BTW I got two meals out of this.

The Shrimp Chilies Rellenos (called Chilies Rellenos De Cameron – shrimp sautéed in olive oil with white wine, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeños stuffed into pasilla chilies with cheese served with rice and beans with a guacamole topped chip garnish)

This was just a little taste of Viva Zapata’s…..

Worth a Try!
