Hussong s Cantina
There are a lot of restaurants to choose from at Mandelay Bay. We decided on Hussong s Cantina because we hadn t had Mexican food at all during thpatagonia outlet store santa cruz0is trip. I think I had been here before, some years ago, but only remembering its interior, which is still fun and fanciful.
We started off with chips and red and grpatagonia alpine guide pantseen salsa whipatagonia outlet storech were good. The chips were thick and brought to the table from under a heat lamp. The salsas were good. I am partial to the spicy green salsa which isn t overpowering, but had enough kick to keep me intrigued.
We also had the guacamole. I have gotten spoiled inpatagonia outlet store santa cruz3 Texas where the guacamole is prepared tableside. This wasn t. It was about as good as what I could make at home. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. The avocados were fresh though.
I had a huarache which is a tender steak layered on a tortilla base with a piquant chimichurri sauce and topped with lettuce and cotija cheese. It was definitely different and a nice change of pace to the usual Mexican bill of fare. The sauce was the highlight and nicely accented the steak. The menu claims that the tortilla is crispy but I beg to differ. I didn t find that to necessarily be a bad it thing, but if they are advertising that as so, believe me, it s not.
Service was ho hum. I really don t blame the server. We had refills of our drinks several times. My issue was that after we were given menus and prompted to get appetizers which arrived quickly, we still hadn t received our basic beverages of iced tea until a good ten minutes after having received our guacamole. In addition, communication from the kitchen to the server was a little less than desirable as she brought us another guacpatagonia outlet store santa cruzamole after we had already received one from the kitchen.
My dining partner ordered a chicken burrito with cheese sauce which he liked very much. It was double the size of most burritos and looked very appealing on presentation.
As long apatagonia outlet store santa cruz2s you are not expecting over the top Mexican cuisine, you will be satisfied. You can do better, but you certainly can do a lot worse. Hussong s is a safe middle of the road option.

We ordered food here to kepatagonia better sweater 1 4 zip mensep us full before our wedding. Im sure my husband liked it because the bar tender was pretty and poured him a stiff drink. We ordered the corn, tacos , and taquitos to go. The tacos were supposed to be served with rice and beans but we didnt check to make sure we had them before we went bacpatagonia full zip rek to our room. Thpatagonia clothes for cheapat made four tiny tacos $14. Way to much. The corn was $6. For one ear of grilled corn. The taquitos were bland and tiny for the price. I WONT BE BACK.

Stopped in at Hussong s for lunch while staying at Mandalay Bay this last weekend. The decor here definitely has a SoCal feel. stickers for KROQ, The Misfits and The Ramones adorn the wall behind the bar. There is also a pretty large selection of tequila along the back of the bar, telling me that some partying definitely goes on in this place. (the original is located in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico).
I ordered the four street taco platter, two chicken and two beef, all served on corn tortillas and topppatagonia discount code qatared with sour cream, cheese, pico and sliced jalapenos (each topping runs 50 cents extra). The chicken tacos were excellent probably some of the best I have ever had. The beef tacos were okay thepatagonia outlet store santa cruz1 meat was a little tough, but not too bad.
Service here was great the bartender immediately welcomed me when I sat down and made me a great bloody mary to start with until my food was ready. She also checked back with me several times to ensure everything tasted okay and asked if I needed anything else.
While I was eating lunch, I noticed on their specials menu that they serve Chilaquiles for breakfast, something that my brother in law got me hooked on that I wish now I would have ordered (I don t find this dish on too manypatagonia freeport maine directions menus).
Overall, the atmosphere here was laid back during the lunch hour, but I get the sense that this place gets very popular later at night. I will definitely be back to patagonia guide jacket knittingvisit this place again on my next visit to Vegas.

2nd Visit: Tried the lobster tacos. Very cheesy. Hard to detect the lobster, although I did have a few large chunks. The chips were warm, the guacamole tasty, margarita and service good.
1st Visit: My server was very helpful, explaining the difference between the Original (fresh = sour) and the Traditional (mix = sweet) margaritas. The original was delicious. I was torn between ordering the avocado/shrimp salad or tpatagonia guide pants 14he lobster tacos, and my server recommended the salad as one of her favorites. I was surprised to see the entire avocado was deep fried with cooked shrimp inside. Unusual, but tasty. Served on a bed of lettuce with the whitest scallions I ve ever seen, plus tomato and bacon bits.
