Casa Real full service Mexican Restaurant and Bar recently opened at 7121 West Craig Road in Las Vegas Nevada. Inside is very decorated with several wide screen TVs, many Mexican artifacts, and nick knacks.

They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa.

I tried a dish that most Mexican restaurants don’t offer……The chef’s specialty dish….The Salmon a la Plancha.

WOW! This is really different…Smashed pumpkin seeds, mild habanero and mango salsas, asparagus, a slightly sweetened white rice that is kinda risotto like, and creamy sweet fried plantains. The flavors are delicious……The fish today was cooked well done but isn’t dry or fishy. If this was cooked slightly less this really would be amazing.

My husband went with a combo fajita (beef, chicken, shrimp with added cheese).

It a very large generous portion and also came with flour tortillas. Some parts of it are better than other parts (just like most fajitas out there). My husband thought that the refried ere very good. His least favorite thing was the chicken because it was dry today.

On another visit we tried a Chile rellleno.

It was different than what I’m used too but was made with a fresh poblano pepper…..I was told that they grilled it instead of frying it today. It was stuffed with cheese and was battered and topped with a Chile type sauce and a drizzle of sour cream.

The Taco Salad with chicken is also a little different. It’s topped with guacamole and some creama. The chicken on it was moist. It is a little smaller than what most places offer but for me it’s a good size.

You can also get tacos here. Seafood, birria, and pork were tried here. All were flavorful and tasty. They came with Mexican style rice and refried beans.

Our server was attentive and the margaritas were strong.

Casa Real is newly opened. Worth a Try!
