We were in town for the casino but decided to eat elsewhere. A quick internet search and we found Fausto's. The food was delicious and the prices were more than reasonable. I had the fried shrimp, and my wife had the fish. Both were excellent. The sides were hot and tasty. When we return this will be our "go to" spot for lunch or dinner.
Chicken is phenomenal 2yrs later and I have to come back and update this review. Everytime we come through we grab chicken. The chicken is great but allowing to young guy in the kitchen to treat the older gentleman like he did is just disgraceful. The older man deserves better
Excellent seafood though you have to wait quite a bit. I wanted to add a side of alligator but they told me the plates of food are prepared as is. What?
