There’s a new Mexican restaurant, Chilangos Tacos, headed for Grand Bazaar Shops, flea market of The Strip.<\/p>\n

We were marginally excited about the prospect of a new Mexican offering at Horseshoe (as first shared by the “Five Hundy By Midnight” podcast), formerly Bally’s, but it’s harder to muster enthusiasm for a concept one must endure Grand Bazaar Shops to patronize.<\/p>\n

Still, new is new, so here we are.<\/p>\n

A.I. tacos may not reflect the actual tacos, but it nailed the limes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Horseshoe proper has been bereft of tacos since Tequila Taqueria<\/a> and its neighbors, Buca di Beppo and Nobu, closed at then-Bally’s in 2021. BLT Steak closed at Bally’s around the same time. It’s now Jack Binion’s Steak.<\/p>\n

Bally’s became Horsehoe in Dec. 2022.<\/p>\n

That Bally’s has nothing to do with the Bally’s Corp. that operated the recently-imploded Tropicana. Plans for the Tropicana site<\/a> include it being a parking lot for the foreseeable future as Bally’s Corp.’s bank account is emptier than a stripper’s promise there is definitely sex in the Champagne Room.<\/p>\n

Chilangos Tacos<\/a> has five locations in Texas and Tennessee. Las Vegas is listed as the sixth outpost, “coming early 2025.”<\/p>\n

The chain is known for al pastor tacos, birria tacos and carne asada quesadillas, but they had us at churros.<\/p>\n

According to our extensive study of foreign languages (asking ChatGPT), the term “Chilangos” is a colloquial Spanish word used in Mexico to refer to people from Mexico City. It carries a mix of connotations, ranging from neutral to playful or even slightly pejorative, depending on the context and who is using it.<\/p>\n

Which is a huge coincidence because, well, nevermind.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Our high school band’s contract with Cultural Appropriation Records was short-lived due to an unfortunate incident involving a piñata and phonetic similarities between the Spanish words for “moisturizer” and “lubricant.” Long story.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While there are challenges to operating in the Grand Bazaar Shops (Bourbon Parade<\/a> closed after a month), Mexican food and drunk tourists are a perfect match. Señor Frog’s<\/a> being the exception, of course.<\/p>\n

Judging from the menus<\/a> at its existing locations, Chilangos Tacos will soon bring accessible Mexican fare to Grand Bazaar Shops<\/a>, the mall designed to look like a Pantone Color Guide thrown into an industrial-grade hay chopper.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
