Hecho en Vegas

I am a local who was staying at the MGM for a concert and we ate here beofre the concert. We wanted to eat at another restautna but hte wait was crazy long. By chance we walked up tp Hecho en Vegas and sat right at the bar. Was so glad we ended up here. They have a great menu that incluede many Gluten free options. Ceaser was our server and was amazing. Foo

Delicious and excellent service. When we say we were immediately brought fresh chips and two types of salsa. The table side guac was so good, they roll a huge cart over to the table and let you decide which ingredients you want and how much. The addition of cilantro in it was amazing. For dinner we enjoyed chicken fajitas (chicken was perfectly cooked, and served on sizzling skillet with veggies) and the short rib taquitos were on the appetizer menu but I enjoyed them as my entrée. Absolutely incredible!

Well well well. This was very yummy. I had the chicken fajitas and hubby had carne asada tacos. Service was outstanding. Chocolate tres leche desert was so so good. Guacamole was made at the table. Fresh chips that were warm

I came here about two weeks ago. The food is a little pricey but what do you expect you’re in Vegas. Anyways the restaurant didn’t open till 4:30. So my husband and I sat at the bar and waited into it open. I believe the bartenders name was Sergio. He made me and my husband the best Cadillac ever. We finally got seated and all the staff members were super nice and friendly. Our waiter was super cool and friendly and knew his stuff. The food was legit and tasted good. I would definitely come back to this place when I go back to Vegas. But just be prepare to spend some money because it’s not cheap.

We were staying in the MGM and were rushing to watch Ka. We stumbled across this restaurant, when we were looking for a quick bite. It was not crowded at all. And it definitely wasn’t a pace to go for a quick bite. Two of us shared an appetizer and an entrée.
Appetizer — table side guacamole. The waiter came by our table and prepared guacamole in front of us using 7 ingredients. They gave us some freshly made nachos to go with it. I was amazed at the taste.
Entrée — fajita bowl. It came with sour cream, fajitas, salsa, tortillas, beans, rice and guacamole. They were made so well that we couldn’t stop eating it.
The portions were pretty huge for both of us. Glad we didn’t order too much. The food was a little on the expensive side. But overall I enjoyed the good. Glad we came across this place!

All of us (4) really enjoyed our meals and drinks at this location. My husband and I used to go here 10 years ago when it was Diego’s and it was amazing. Unfortunately, about 6 years ago Diego’s wasn’t good anymore, but then on this trip we noticed it had been completely redone with a new name and we decided to give it a try! :)
First of all, the service was excellent the entire time! Our waiter was very friendly, fun, and on top of it. The manager also came over and introduced himself and he was very nice also… we even got a free beer when a table said they didn’t want what they had ordered so our waiter just brought it to us LOL
We started with DRINKS! My husband and I each got large Coronaritas and they were delicious. I got mine watermelon flavored… yum! Definitely tasted the booze in them! Our friends got the fish bowl sized Mojito and it was huge and they loved it! We definitely had a good buzz going on when we left!
I ordered the fundido because I love cheese, simple as that! It was delicious! Some of the best I’ve had!
My husband got the chimi changa that had been all over the posters in the casino and he said it was definitely good enough to warrant the posters. I got the tri colored enchiladas. They were good, but not great. Our friends split the tamale sampler platter (and they loved it) and also go the mini chimi changa appetizer plate. They loved everything they got. They, in fact, loved in so much that they went back again the next night! LOL
I would definitely return to this place again. I was sad when Diego’s went down the drain, but I’m happy to report that it has been revitalized into something good again as Hecho en Vegas!

Very good food, very good service. For vegas the prices weren’t bad at all for 2 tacos and a drink.

Delicious and fast I was impressed.
We came in hungry and left happy. The only thing I could complain about was a waiter that was in a hurry to clear our table.

I really enjoyed my experience at Hecho. The environment is excellent with bright colored walls and neat décor, staff was amazing and friendly, and the drinks were delicious and strong. Complimentary chips and salsa are great, the red salsa is my favorite.
For a mean I ordered the huge taco salad that was served in a giant taco shell. It was full of flavor and I was able to substitute refried beans for black beans.

This place was insanely average and way overpriced. Not much more to say.
Im tempted to keep typing just because Unilocal awards longer reviews but all you need to know is in that first sentence. Go somewhere else unless you absolutely need Mexican cuisine to live. I imagine there are some good hole in the wall Mexican places a short walk away.

I was craving some Mexican food and missing my good olé’ Tex Mex I get back home, so I made hubby go here to have some grub and margaritas.
We ordered the queso for starters. It comes with flour tortillas but we requested they not bring them because that would be too filling. The chips were ok and the green salsa that they bring out was so good! I didn’t care for the red salsa too much, as it had a roasted taste to it.
I ordered the street tacos for my meal. I thought the pork was hands down the best one, and I do not eat pork. So I probably wouldn’t get this again.
Another night we were there, we had drinks at the bar. It seems to me they have a different bar food menu, as there were fish tacos on the bar menu and I was annoyed because I would rather have had that than the stupid street tacos I had the day before.
The margaritas were good, but I can honestly say the food is just ok. We both paid for it the next day, so I wouldn’t eat here again. LOL!
The food is 2 stars, the drinks are 4 stars, and that makes them a 3 star place!

I am a lover of Mexican food. No doubt.
Hecho in Vegas did not disappoint. More like hecho in Mexico.
Hecho is in the MGM Grand. Lots of contemporary Mexican art to be admired while you enjoy your meal.
Allow me to get to the food!
BURRITOS: Very large. Enough for two meals. Ingredients are notably fresh and flavors on point. Not over done or too spicey. Subtle undertones.
ENCHILADAS: Chicken, beef or cheese or pork. I had cheese. The sauce is delicious with a blend of cheeses.
MOJITOS: I highly recommend
TEQUILA: Hecho has a long list if you’re a TEQUILA lover. Speciality tequilas, old tequilas, tequila with a dead worm. lol
DIABLO ROJO: Tequila with pomegranate liquor and lime juice. The bomb. Its sooo good.
List of Mexican Wine. One of few places
with Mexican wines.

Our group had mixed feelings about Hecho during our recent trip. We went on a Friday evening on arrival day, so it was at the end of a long day.
The food is good-​I had the shrimp/​steak fajitas which are very good-​corn tortillas and good rice and beans rounded out a good dinner for me. Others said the food was decent-​my wife’s tamale plate looked good and one friend had the all you can eat street tacos.
Drinks…I enjoyed my beer, but they are very high priced, as evidenced by the $ 80 pitcher of margaritas 3 at the table had. They weren’t aware this would be the price and felt it was not worth anywhere near that cost.
Service was decent and I’d try it again next time in town.

Very nice brunch surprise this morning. The restaurant was opened for brunch for the first time and it was awesome, with live mariachi, good mimosas for $ 3 amazing coffee and amazing chilaquiles verdes with chicken and eggs. Saul our waiter was really nice and helpful!
Editing my review, to top it off Kevin the manager came to our table and offered us a round of free drinks!

This is their first attempt at Breakfast/​Brunch. They did a great job in being engaged with their customers. They forgot to update their business hours on Unilocal and it shows «closed», but I can assure you they are open.
Excellent place for breakfast/​brunch! Excellent service, entertainment, the ambiance is excellent, oh yeah and the food is great – what else could you ask for!?! The mariachi is top notch! If you are close by, stop by, you will not be disappointed.

I scheduled a reservation on Opentable for Hecho en Vegas MGM Grand for dinner during the Legalshield convention. Based upon Unilocal reviews, I had high expections. Needless to say that got shot down quick. While one waiter was very friendly another waitress was sent to take our order after the first waiter said he’d return for our order. We were provided water while we reviewed the menu. Our order was taken and the waitress never asked us which drinks we’d like to order. The food was bland and seemed to have an ingredient or spice missing from the preparation. The guacamole was bland considering that it’s freshly made. After we finished dinner, we were asked if we’d like dessert but we declined.
While it’s a great idea to offer water to the customers while reviewing the menu for their meal, do NOT forget to take a drink order from the customer.
I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Our server was EXCELLENT. In fact, service at Hecho en Vegas was stellar. Our server had a great sense of humor, checked in frequently, divided our check (for a large party), and delivered our orders quicker than expected. We were never lacking for chips and salsa. The manager stopped by and checked on us too. I loved the service and there is nothing that they could have done better.
The atmosphere at Hecho was vibrant, fun, and clean. There were many rooms and sections that provided various levels of privacy (or not). Our section felt mostly private. We could easily hear one another talk, but it wasn’t SOOOO private that it was awkward. Spot on Hecho!
It’s the food that really squashed my opinion of Hecho. I hardly ate my mushroom fajita and left hungry. This was the issue: the food flavor was enhanced with lots of salt or something. I tried to get the healthiest thing on the menu but I still felt as if I was doing my body a disservice. M felt the same way about her food.
I was also disappointed by the drinks. I love mixology, so the drinks at Hecho were too main stream for me. I would have liked a non-​tequila cocktail OR even something with mezcal (a smokey kind of tequila).
If I were paying for service and setting, then Hecho fit the bill. But, to be honest, I was also wanting food. It is pretty disappointing when you leave a restaurant hungry (and thirsty) and having to spend even more money at another restaurant for more food and a cocktail.

My group of 6 recently had a late lunch/​early dinner at Hecho en Vegas. It was an off-​time so we walked right in and were seated at a high-​top table.
The service was prompt and on-​top of our needs the entire time. As this was a pre-​nap meal, the trip was food-​only.
The complimentary chips and two salsas were delicious. The chips were crispy and the salsa verde had a great flavor. We ordered a side of guacamole for the table. They don’t offer the tableside service that early in the day, but were able to offer a discounted pre-​made guac. While not fresh, it was pretty good.
While ordering my dos enchiladas I asked if they could be made extra spicy. While they could not, our server brought out this banging habanero purée. It didn’t taste spicy at first but it had a really hot after taste. My non-​spice loving friends hated it but as a spice lover, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. It had flavor and hotness at the same time.
My enchiladas came out with jalapenos on the top so did get that extra spice in addition to the habanero purée. I like the attention to detail my server had for my spice needs.
The enchiladas themselves (one chicken, one cheese both with crème sauce) were good but fairly standard. The dish came with rice and refried beans. My friend’s came with black beans. I wish we were given the option as I would have gone with black beans.
There was a little confusion with the check. The dos enchiladas were $ 15 on the menu, however they charged $ 19 on the bill for the three orders for my table. They took it off the bill and blamed it on a glitch in the system. I wonder how often that’s happened without anyone noticing.
Overall, Hecho en Vegas provided for a relatively quick, inexpensive and tasty Vegas dining option. I’m not rushing back on my next trip to Vegas, but it’s a good casual dining alternative if you happen to be nearby and hungry.

I went to Hecho before seeing Kà. I had a reservation for 5 PM when they opened and I was seated in a short time. I was taken to the back left of the restaurant. I really like the way the place has been changed. The large room has been subdivided into several smaller areas that keep the noise to a minimum and also give you a feel of being in a smaller place than it is.
Complimentary chips and two salsas were brought. The chips were nondescript and the salsas were OK. The green tomatillo wasn’t as flavorful as the red which also had some spiciness to it.
I started with pozole. It was good tasting. I was surprised that the corn had been not left whole but had been chopped. I guess it’s just their way but I hadn’t seen pozole like this before. There was a nice seasoning to the soup.
For the main course, I had pollo barracho, drunken chicken. Along with the chicken were some mixed vegetables in a cream sauce and what I call and open face tamal. The chicken was cooked and sliced and was served with a sauce that was more a tomatillo than a barracho. There were no olives and there was no olive flavoring, something I expect with barracho. The vegetables were good. It was a mixture of carrot, corn, zucchini and tomato cubes coated with a thick sauce. I called it an open face tamal because the masa filling was placed on top of some fold corn husks and one didn’t have to open the husks to get to the filling as you normally do.
Time for dessert and I got the raspberry tres leches. The menu describes it as vanilla tres leche trifle with raspberry compote and a cinnamon sugar buñuelo (Mexican style). The dessert was really good. The trifle with the raspberry was great!
Service was good. The pace was perfect. There was ample time between courses. I was never tapping my foot waiting for something to be brought, either. My server checked on my several times while I was there and my iced tea was refilled without asking.

Hecho en Vegas offers great happy hour specials (for being on the Las Vegas strip) and tasty Mexican dishes.
The restaurant itself is appealing aesthetically, with bright colors throughout the entire restaurant. The seating area also opens out into hotel and casino, which is very inviting to those who walk by.
Their happy hour is fabulous! I believe it’s Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5p-​7p at the bar. Everything is $ 5! Guacamole, draft beers, Carne Asada fries, margaritas, and more. They also offer complimentary chips with red and green salsa. I personally love their red salsa, it’s FULL of garlic flavor! I could easily eat a whole bowl myself.
The staff here is great, the bartenders and bar backs are so friendly and make the bar atmosphere fun. We’ve had Cesar serve us at the bar several times and he is phenomenal. The restaurant managers Curtis and Fred are wonderful too, they walk around the restaurant floor, engaging with the guests. They always check up on us whenever we go!
I’ve been here quite a few times, mostly for happy hour and a few times for dinner. Their taco salad is enormous! The salad is tossed in a creamy dressing and served to you in the largest hard taco shell. Very filling and tasty. I’ve also tried their chicken fajitas which were magnificent and probably my favorite dish.
I would recommend this place for a fun happy hour on the strip. Great specials and great service!
