Mavens Overview: Pink Taco

The Pink Taco at the Hard Rock serves Mexican cuisine with strong Californian influence. The food is solid, if unspectacular. A big part of experience of eating at the Pink Taco is the young casual atmosphere, vibe.

The internet buzz is mixed, as far as the food is concerned. Those that focus solely on the food seem a bit disappointed, while those giving the Pink Taco bonus points for the atmosphere seem more than satisfied. Having a reasonably priced menu is another plus.

Internet Buzz: Pink Taco

  • LOVED this place! Loved the food, loved the ambiance, loved the drinks, loved just about everything!
  • They have absolutely delicious bean & cheese chile rellenos and fyi their salmon....M-A-R-V-E-L-O-U-S (to be sung in your head)! They make you smile and gives you the happy peppermint patty sensations like on TV LOL.
  • Not too shabby for Mexican food. I've been looking for good Mexican restaurants being that I'm from Southern New Mexico and have been craving authentic Mexican food. The chips n' salsa weren't bad at all, nothing special (again this review is coming from someone who KNOWS good Mexican food, but hey its all opinion right?) but they did give you three salsas to dip from.
  • The cheese quesadillas had NO FLAVOR. The chicken skewers were over seasoned and dry. The sweet corn tamales were good, and something I really enjoyed. The taquitos were ok. Overall I would say pass on this place after the meal we had.
  • I wasn't overly impressed. I wasn't disgusted. I was, however, hung over and grateful for the immediate arrival of chips and salsa and the water. The rest of the meal was unremarkable, except I remember thinking that the portions were pretty hefty
  • With all the hype of this place I thought it would be way better. I'll admit I do not eat Mexican food often but when I do it doesn't taste like this place.
  • The food at Pink Taco is nothing amazing..basic Mexican fare with a few flares here and there. What I did not expect when I walked into this Hard Rock hotel establishment was the abundance of tequila they had...and the prices per shot were not too bad (considering it's Vegas). I had a glass of the Milagro Reserve Anejo and El Tesoro Anniversary Tequila. Both were great
  • The best thing about The Pink Taco is the Hard Rock Hotel scene & vibe. The food is good & fresh and the portions are large, but nothing you would not find in many other mexican restaurants. The bar drinks are excellent with great margaritas The servers are attentive and attractive. If you are looking for a casual diner of tacos, nachos, & burritos before hitting the the Hard Rock then this is a good choice
