DJ’s Taco Bar

We had been in Vegas for a couple days, spending anywhere from $ 60 to $ 150 to feed 4 people, and no joke we noticed earlier in the day Bally’s was charging $ 15 for a hot dog, FOR ONE HOTDOG. Then we stumbled on this place while walking down the strip. We fed the four of us here for the same price as that one hotdog would have been.
The street tacos are only $ 2 each, and they are amazing. You get to pick a meat and all the toppings you want. We had carne asada and shredded beef and they were both delicious. The staff is also super courteous and helpful in deciding what to order with your tacos.
If you’re in Vegas and are tired of spending an outrageous amount of money on food and don’t want to veer off the strip, go to DJs Tacos and save your money for the casinos (;

The food was okay… I would’ve put another star if the customer service was better. The guy’s working in the back were rude and not very helpful when I asked them a question about the their food they just looked at me like I was dumb… Other then that I recommend going to Tacos El Gordo for legit street tacos they use better tortillas.

Best place to get tacos on the strip. Also very affordable and easy to access. The steak tacos are amazing!!!

As a Real Mexican from Colima Mex, this place is a 10, real habanero hot sauce, meets have great spices, this place is a gift to Las Vegas. if your looking for real street tacos look no further.

I thought the tacos here were just alright. The main issue is that the meats (beef/​pork) we had weren’t seasoned very well. Also, the fried fish taco looked and tasted just like a fish stick.
Also, the rice and beans that came with the taco plate weren’t seasoned very well either.
The majority of the seating is outside, and the inside seating is very very casual to the point where they probably could a bit more with the ambiance. On my next stop back in Las Vegas I’ll find another spot for tacos.

So I gave three stars for the quality of the food for the price. Food was great and for $ 10 a plate, that’s awesome! Minus one star for the seating. Although they have ample seating outside, it’s winter and freezing. Who can enjoy a meal when you’re shivering? There was seating inside but very minimal for how busy they are. Minus another star for the service. The guys working there had no personality and I’ve literally received better customer service at a Jack in the Box. There are wayyyyyy too many places to eat in Vegas to have crappy customer service. I suppose if you’ve spent all your money gambling and shopping and all you really have is $ 10, then this spot will do.

This place has decent street tacos. Just decent, not amazing. Maybe good for Vegas but you can get way better on the streets of LA, San Diego or Phoenix for sure. Carne asada was cooked well but under seasoned. Grilled fish needed salt too. Fried fish was good though, well seasoned, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. That being said, carne asada is the measuring stick for street tacos and this place is just meh…
So, decent food — 3 stars worthy I would say. Then why two stars? Because they treat you like you’re inconveniencing them when you go in there. One guy wouldn’t even look at me and my wife as we stood and waited to order. Took the order of the people in front of us in line then walked away without so much as acknowledging our presence. When someone finally did acknowledge us to take our order, he was short with us and kinda yell-​talked at us as if we were on his last nerve. I’m a nice person and I go out of my way to treat people with respect, if I’m spending money at a place, I expect at least some of that in return and, street food or not, you won’t get it at DJ’s. Not going back.

This is Mexican street style food at its finest. I had an awesome burrito here. This is comparable to Chipotle but more authentic. The menu is basically $ 10 per item. They have tacos for $ 2/​each but they are quite small and you would likely need 3 – 4 of them to fill you up. For Vegas standards, the prices and quality of food here is awesome.

I felt like went to Mexico Tijuana when walking in to this small Mexican restaurant; the counter, setup, table & chairs, wall painting of US & Tijuana border. Owner is Mexican. Lots of good foods. We just did the soft taco sampler, very authentic Mexican foods. Recommended to try there!

OMG… the best mexican street style food I’ve had in ages. There were 6 in our group. We all had different items… every single one of us was super happy with our choices. I’m not sure they have anything bad there.
If there’s a low spot, and it’s not that low, is the seating would be an issue if they were busy. There is outdoor seating and approximately 20 seats inside.
Other than that (seating) we would have given this place more the a 5 if possible!
One last thing this was the lowest cost meal we’ve ever had in Vegas.

The management here is messed up. We came on fourth of july and there was a line out the door. As we got closer to the counter to order, i finally realized why the line was out the door. One person is preparing our orders while 6 others are standing around, talking, acting like their busy but they’re not. They act like they’re only assigned to one job (i.e. cashier) so they stick to that one job post even when there’s no one to help while one lady is running around putting tortillas on the grill, flipping them, putting the meat and fillings in it and assembling it. When one girl tried to tip her, another worker came up and said that’s not allowed. What do you mean it’s not allowed? They probably split tip if we had left it in the tip jar. Heck, we only want to tip the person who actually worked.

Eh– I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to have lunch here, but if I’m in the area. it’s okay.
They had good service and the location is cool: Fuku burger is in the same plaza. The plaza is open, there are vendors and music. Not as nice as the Monte Carlo plaza.

I am baffled to why this place has 4 stars. We came here after the iHeartRadio festival. We were looking for some good cheap eats that was close enough to the hotel that wouldn’t break the bank. Four star taco place, sign me up. But, it wasn’t good.
I got the nachos, they use cheese wiz. Yup, melted cheese wiz, it was gross. The guac wasn’t bad. The «steak» was so chewy it was like eating gum. I couldn’t finish it (and yeah I had been drinking, so everything tastes good when you’re drinking).
My wife got tacos, she barely finished them, the chicken was good everything else was meh. And this wasn’t necessarily cheap.
I would put this place one step above Taco Bell and 3 steps below Chipotle. I would avoid it at all costs, so many better options. And it wasn’t cheap at all, it was almost 30 bucks with a couple tall boy cheapo beers.

Ok… So after reading all the reviews about this spot, I had to come to Vegas and try them out!
It’s a small Taco spot but don’t let the looks foul you. I came with my best friend who recently moved to Vegas and even she stated, «I’ve been on the strip so many times and never seen this taco spot». Yup! Thanks to Unilocal we were able to ball on a budget here.
We walked in and notice their menu. They had many different things to order: Taco Platter, Quesadilla, Burrito, Salad or bowl. You can pick your meat and don’t worry; they have all type of meat: Steak, Chicken, Pork, Shredded Beef, Grilled Fish, and Crispy Fish. No matter what meat you get EVERYTHING is DE-​LISH!
I am in LOVE with Tacos so of course I ordered the Taco Platter plate which consisted of: 3 tacos and 2 sides. I was able to make both my sides rice (Yes, I love rice as well) HAHA!
What I really liked most was that you were able to put your on toppings on your tacos. Normal taco places that I go to in California they just do the norm: Cilantro and salsa but this place has it all baybee! Avocado, sour cream, different type of salsas, tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro… OMG! REALLY!
My best friend ordered the bowl and she truly enjoyed it! Matter of fact the bowl could actually feed two people! NOICEEE!
They also had outdoor seating and indoor seating (Limited seating inside). During the time I came here it was 100 degrees in Vegas so seating inside or outside to me was miserable.
The inside has NO A/​C! OMG how can the workers stand to work in that HOT environment! Anywho, my only concern was the hotness in that joint. They would definitely be 5 stars once they fix that A’C problem.
In the meantime, 4 stars for the cheap Taco spot on the Vegas Strip!
Till next time DJ’s Taco Bar!

Coming from Los Angeles, Southern California, the mecca of real Mexican food. this place was just okay to us. We were really craving some tacos and/​or burritos and we found this place on Unilocal after reading the many reviews. They are kind of located some place where you would never expect them to be. There weren’t a lot of people nearby or even in the store so that was kind of surprising. However, if you do happen to go here, I’d just stick with the carne asada. The chicken was subpar to us. Their sauces were okay as well. Customer service stinks — they were on their phones and talking to each other really not minding the customer’s needs.

If you are visiting vegas and tired of spending $ 20 on hotdog and fries at the hotels THEN this is the place you need to go so YOU CAN SAVE MONEY AND EAT GOOD!
Best quesadilla ever! So it’s setup like chipotle were u can add your own toppings.
Also the quesadilla is HUGE!!! You have ample choices of meat to choose from, veggies and rice and cheeses.
The food was muy bien… the price was right considering what Vegas was charging to eat at these other places. The service is quick, place is clean and ample drinks to choose from.
Believe me you wont be disappointed by eating here.

Like Vic G said … This is the BEST MEXICAN FOOD on the Vegas strip! Get the taco platter or the quesadilla, you will not be disappointed. Seriously, great food, great service and amazing prices seem to not exist on the Vegas strip! DJ Tacos makes it happen folks!!! Tons of options on menu and you can mix up. Example, undecided then have chicken, pork and beef tacos instead of 1 meat option.
Niki K and I hunted this place down for lunch one afternoon. It was hot out and honestly I almost caved in and said forgot about it. So happy I didn’t.
I ordered the taco platter with an old school big bottle of soda. She ordered the quesadilla and same soda!
Man this food is off the hook! Flavorful and finally non hotelish food! I was in utopia…
The Taco Platter:
— came with 3 tacos rice and beans.
— I choose pork, shredded beef and chicken. All cooked and seasoned well.
— then you have sauces, lettuce and toppings to choose from.
Quesadilla:
— a lovely cheesy and meaty quesadilla slice into 3 huge pieces.
— same choices of toppings and sauces to go inside quesadilla.
— I had to assist mi lady with finishing it. Ha ha
In close all of this with tip was low $ 20’s! I would live here if I returned to Vegas as I love Mexican food and awesome service. Check them out and enjoy people watching on the strip if you decide to eat outside. Enjoy y’all!

A small super cool taco joint. Hidden in sin city. Along the crazy, lively strip. Here I was away from everyone and everything. So relaxing! With one of my most favorite people in the world. My 1 and only bro!!!
«You gotta try these tacos!» He insisted. We walked Lord knows how many blocks from Treasure Island. But it was worth it.
My brother is a serious Mexican food lover. I guess all us siblings are. But he out does us all. He’s also a DJ. (DJ Taco Bar). It couldn’t be anymore clearer than that. Hahhaaaa.
We ordered fish tacos. They came loaded with all the yummy goodness. You get to choose what you want on your Taco. They prep the way you like it.
We snuggled into a table seat. And chowed sinful tacos. Ohhhh the only downer was the soggy tortilla. Whoopsie Doopsie.
But everything else: «Perfecto»
Yeah I kno…
You eat fish tacos every Tuesday.
Psssst… (whispering) but these are sinful Tacos. Hehe.
Enjoy!
Best Tacos in Vegas… so far!

Yummmmmmm!
DJ’s Taco Bar popped up on my Unilocal when we were looking for a good place to check out in Vegas and I’m glad we stopped here. We were obviously newbies and the guy behind the counter was a huge help. He recommended two meats (so we could try more than one) on our nachos and they were both delish. We went with the chicken and barbacoa and they were both perfectly cooked. We let the guy dress our nachos how the regulars do it and everything was fresh and went great together. I don’t think there’s a wrong choice coming here.
While we were pigging out on our nachos, a guy asked us how the tacos were… We laughed and said, «Well, it’s our first time here but these nachos are legit! Let us know how the tacos are!» He walked out after eating and said, «Tacos were the bomb. Get them next time!»
I think that speaks for itself. Yum! :)

DEAL ME IN
This place is a total find and is located on Fremont Street next to the Heart Attack Café. You can not miss it because they have a blinking red neon sign that says $ 2 Tacos. Enough said!!!
I needed a light snack before dinner after skipping lunch, so I decided to pop in here. They had a large selection of meats to choose from. I decided to go with a pork carnitas taco and a shredded beef taco. Both were really good and packed full of meat. The $ 2 price also included a choice of hot sauce and I went with the medium green salsa. Cilantro and raw onions were included too. I skipped the cilantro but dived in on the raw onions. Luckily I had a tin of the Unilocal shaped breath mints to freshen me up afterwards.
The meats were really tasty. There is nothing like a slow roasted piece of meat in my book. I saw the grilled steak and grilled chicken but they looked a little dried out. This location has many of its meats precooked and sitting in warming trays. This is why I choose the two meats I did. The pork carnitas and shredded beef were sitting in their own natural juices and I knew they would be yummy at any time of the day. I was dead on.
I decided to go with a medium salsa because I was taking a redeye flight back home and I wasn’t looking forward to terror at 30,000 feet, so I played it safe. They had several salsas to choose from but I was happy with the medium salsa verde. It had the perfect amount of spicy without being too over powering.
The location is in a food court without any mall. There were two other restaurants in here. One serving pizza/​pasta and the other serving Asian food. I did not try the other food at these two places but was offered some Asian chicken on a toothpick that I nicely turned down.
So if your on Fremont Street looking for a light but filling snack then I highly recommend this place. The tacos were really good and I would come back here in a heartbeat for a good meal deal that won’t break the bank.
