El Segundo Sol

If it wasn’t for the terrible service, the rating would be higher. The food was good but the service was slow and inadequate. Went here with a group of co-​workers while in town for a conference and most of us ordered the shrimp taco «special» and two others ordered fajitas. The fajitas came out hot and sizzling but everyone else’s shrimp dishes came out ice cold. The cocktails took way too long to arrive and we had to ask for water 2 or 3 times as our pitchers were always empty but there was no one around to refill them. Don’t quite understand why the service was so slow for a Saturday night when the place wasn’t nearly full.

Took my elderly mother whom is from out of state to eat at El Segundo. My mother really enjoyed the food. Our food server was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our experience with the bartender was another story. She was rude and not very friendly. My brother and I decided to go to the bar for our drinks and experienced her unfriendly attitude. Jen needs a class on dealing with people. We got her name after we asked the food server. People like her working with the public need to change careers where there are no people to deal with. Great food, great food service. Average drinks from below average bartender.

Do yourself a favor and sit at the back bar with Joan. Great bartender, super sweet. Took great care of my wife and I. Will be coming back soon.

Excellent food nice scene only thing service was slow but other then that we loved it there nachos are to die for…

3 stars for the service. Chips and salsa cannot be missed. The Chicken Caesar salad is, I’m sure, one of the unforgettable gems on the menu. The ambiance literally sparkles with happy energy, and with what looks like fireflies smiling on the ceiling.
Unfortunately, as great as the food is, service is a hit or very painful miss. First visit gave my mom and I an attentive, friendly hostess, while our most recent visit left us with a forgetful hostess that kept playing disappearing tricks. Once she flew right by us without a word.
Festive, electric ambiance with good food. Expecting stellar service every time though will most likely result in major disappointment.

This place has pretty good food right off the Las Vegas strip by the fashion Mall well… Say we try some hot sauce there goes peppers look pretty bad taste pretty bad but let me tell you you had to drink a gallon of milk just to get the hot flavor out your system if you want hot ass for the hot it will almost kill you

Huge fan of this place which is within walking distance from the Trump on the corner of Fashion Show mall. Lots of outdoor seating (with heaters right now!) and indoor space, right on the strip so good for people-​watching.
I went down for a quick lunch the other day, and it was so good I doubled back a second time for dinner with the hub in tow — he totally agreed!
The guacamole, which they can do spicy or super spicy (go for the super) is great, and there’s LOTS of it for the price, fabulous value at $ 10! Comes with a baking sheet of crispy tortillas that almost resemble fritos in taste, really unusual and really good. Comes with 2 bowls of salsa — all this is easily enough for an appetizer for 3 – 4 people, or a lunch with leftovers for 1! For an additional $ 3.95, they’ll give you bottomless chips and salsa.
Today we had the mahi mahi tacos, which was not a good value for $ 18.95 and a portion of fish about the size of 4 fingers, but it was decidedly delicious nonetheless. Comes with very flavorful white rice, black beans, pico de gallo, slaw, and a couple of little sauces.
Their margaritas are awesome, as is their sangria, which is homemade. This will be a go-​to for fast, delicious bites — and it’s right next door to another great joint, Stripburger! A definite be-​back!

Walked around the mall to look for a place that served alcohol without the cost of an arm and a leg. Luckily we found this place right as it hit happy hour so the drinking lords were on our sides with this one. Great pricing for food and drinks!
Wish I remembered the outside bartender’s name, he was awesome! Thanks again dude-​with-​beard!
Didn’t get anything to eat but I’m going to definitely try and remember not to eat a whole family sized portion of food before the next time I come here. Gunning for that guac.

Great food, guacamole is THE BEST!!! You can order it mild, medium, or spicy. If you order tacos you can prep your own with the amount of meat you want in it. Bottomless chips and salsa, Primera Margarita was refreshing and light (you can get a lil toasty from it).
Neat atmosphere, very dimly lite — bust out your flashlight on your phones when coming in the evening. Great place to entertain definitely will be coming back.
Our server Rachel was very attentive and personable, she made our dinner and experience fun and memorable. Love her!!!

Dangerous Margarita specials, great if you are walking. That’s all I have to say about that.
Oh yeah the food was pretty good too.

VERY MEDIOCRE.
I suppose when I am in Vegas the first decision for Mexican fare should not be attached to a mall, so silly me for that decision.
The salsa’s were meh, the guacamole was meh, the fajitas were meh. The one PLUS they has was the delicious two-​tone margarita (aka frozen margarita with sangria on top). I could have had 3 of those drinks and skipped eating and been okay.
We were sat at a table right near where all the serves grabbed glasses and plates, so needless to say it was very loud and a lot of clanking all night.
I wouldn’t recommend this but the server was nice and the drinks were good, so I gave it 3 stars.

Sat at the bar, Chris (CK) my bartender kept me entertained. Came to watch football but unfortunately they didn’t have the NFL ticket, which is unheard of in the Las Vegas strip, drinks and food were delicious and the bartender was great. So it wasn’t so bad.

I am upgrading this review from 2 stars to 3, because I had a bad service experience at El Segundo Sol in Las Vegas (the food and drinks were amazing) and I got a call from the manager after the owner got back to me after seeing my review.
Ross Buter who is the manager offered me a free meal there, but he wouldn’t be in on the day we would have gone in, but since it was our first time in Vegas, me and the wife didn’t want to repeat restaurant on this trip. Thus Ross offered me a certificate (without an expiration date) to eat at any Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants’ establishment.
That was a really kind gesture and as promised I received that letter in the mail with two gift certificates totaling $ 50. So I plan on definitely visiting an establishment and will 100% be going back to El Segundo Sol on my next trip to Vegas which will be rather soon.
I’ll be updating this review again and possibly another Lettuce establishment in the near future.

It’s your standard chain Mexican food. Nothing too special. I think the huge guac bowl is not worth $ 12, more like $ 8. They have some decent apps. The salsas are probably the biggest redeeming factor, as well as the rice.
They can get you in and out pretty quick, and the service is pretty good!

What the do is pretty good but they miss details. Chips are way to salty.
Tamale corn flavor is great but there is no other flavor.
The Margaritas are strong but tiny and over priced. Also have little taste but the tequila.
I feel the servers are stretched to thin as service was a little slow but friendly.

I’m torn between 2 and 3 stars strictly because of service. I ordered the steak fajitas which happened to be some of the best fajitas I have had in Las Vegas but they were delivered by such an unhappy, unhelpful waitress (Mercedes) that it almost ruined it for me. The rice that comes with the fajitas is fantastic as is the salsa. After receiving horrible service, an 18% gratuity was automatically added to my bill (for a party of 5).
My kids ordered off of the Strip Burger menu (located next door but owned by the same people) and they enjoyed them. All 3 of them ordered a milk shake to go and apparently something was wrong with my sons as it all came back up as soon as we pulled into the driveway.
I would probably return to eat the fajitas again but would specifically request not to sit in her section. Tip-​If you don’t like your job, find a new one!

Well I don’t know how I have never tried this spot before. Heard about it from friend and was skeptical because he doesn’t have great taste in food (hope he doesn’t read this)!! We went during happy hour. Love the set up! You can either sit at the bar outside or the patio with a view of the strip, or you can sit in the bar area inside where there are also tables. The happy hour menu had a few sangrias, margaritas, and frozen drinks on the menu along with a 3 dollar tequila shot. Drinks were 5 to 3 bucks and they were really good. We had some nachos, quesadillas, and a fajita plate. I liked the nachos, loved the quesadillas and the fajitas plate sides. The fajitas could have had more flavor to me. The beans and the rice that came with the fajitas were really tasty though. I had to ask the lady if they really made the beans in house because of how good they were. All in all great happy hour spot for some drinks, food, and a great time!
(There is a lot off construction going on right in that area though so it looks kind of crazy right now)

The restaurant is located at the bottom of the fashion mall. Service was actually good.
Margaritas and the white sangria were delicious. Get the salsa and chips. I was full just with that. They had 3 different salsas — salsa Verde, roasted salsa, pico De gallao which was really salty and mixing it with the other salsas made it edible.
The steak taco is a good choice at almost $ 20 a plate but it was a good amount of meat, rice and beans. The chicken quesadilla was small but good enough for 1 if you pigged out on the chips. Also got a side if elite which was really roasted with cheese, chili, and lime. Good but not cooked enough for me.

It is on The Strip so expect to pay more… However I expect better service and that is where the restaurant fell short. We waited a long time for drinks and our food and it was not that busy. Our endless chips we ended because the second round never arrived. The waiter was pleasant, however we felt forgotten.
The margaritas are pricy and if I returned I would only go if it was happy hour. We tried some different margaritas and we loved them all. The small is very small, and for the price it is not a deal. The large is very large!
Because I saved this draft to finish the review, I cannot remember what we ordered food wise, but it was all good. Overall, if I was at Fashion Show Mall, I would probably return, but not to make a special trip.

As a native Tucsonan, I am very picky when it comes to Mexican food. El Segundo Sol does the Southwest justice. They offer the classics that you yearn for like queso fundido and elote, which are both must tries. Also their margaritas are good. And a good margarita is never a bad thing. Although the prickly pear margarita is sweet, sweet, SWEET I give them points for including it on the menu.
The other reason (besides the amazing food) that El Segundo Sol is a place I love to frequent is the patio. OH, THAT PATIO. It is right off the strip and if you can get a table on the edge of the patio, people watching is a must. If you can’t, which is likely for bigger groups and busier nights the entire patio is a dream. Lights, greenery, piñatas and great music makes for a fantastic meal and experience.
If you are in town and not wanting to journey far from the strip, El Segundo Sol is a must.
