Literally the worst restaurant i’ve been to! Just cus it’s in the casino doesn’t mean it’s worth it! We ordered the beef thing and it was a big bone with little bits of beef! The sauce horrible not even close to actual Birria. So expensive for crappy food. The menu sucks literally no options. Never again. The restaurant is beautiful but the food sucks

This review is for felt and also diablos

Ever since this club came under new management, my experience has gone from great to extremely disappointing. In my opinion, the manager, Brittany, has brought a negative, stressful, and unwelcoming energy to the entire place.

The atmosphere that used to make this club enjoyable is gone. If you’re not a celebrity or someone with status, it honestly feels like you’re being looked down on. From what I’ve personally seen, the club now seems to prioritize well-known names only — a huge shift from how things were before Brittany took over.

The dress code situation is frustrating and inconsistent. They tell you one thing at the door, then once inside, you see people wearing the exact same items you were told were “against dress code.” It feels selective, unfair, and completely unprofessional.

I’ve also seen people turned away with the excuse that the club is “at capacity,” even when the place didn’t look anywhere near full. From my experiences, this seems to happen based on appearance or status, not actual capacity.

What stands out the most, though, is Brittany’s attitude. In my personal experience, she has a consistently rude, dismissive, and mean-spirited way of talking to people. She comes across as irritated, impatient, and downright disrespectful — and we’re not the only ones who feel this way. We’ve heard the same from multiple guests.

And honestly, as the manager, she really needs to be careful with how she speaks to people. You never know who someone is, what they do, or who they work for. Treating people poorly is not only unprofessional — it can create serious problems for the business. Showing basic respect shouldn’t be optional in her role.

Overall, I’m sharing what I’ve personally experienced at this club — possibly including Diablos — ever since the management changed and Brittany stepped in as manager. The change has been hard to ignore.

We’ve been walking past Diablo’s Cantina for years and finally decided to stop in – now we’re kicking ourselves for waiting so long. I ordered the chicken fajitas and my husband got the beef fajitas; both came out sizzling hot, well-seasoned, and with generous portions and fresh toppings. Service was friendly and fast, and the prices are very reasonable – honestly, the food here tastes much better than the typical food court spots outside but is still just as affordable. We’ll definitely be back and I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Worst food ever! Salsa had no taste, it was very runny and tasted like water. Chips were tortilla shells. Fajitas had chicken that was tender but no seasoning and no taste lots of green peppers a couple slices of red peppers and onions. It came with no refried beans or rice. No sour cream or cheese or pica or lettuce. Guacamole was extra. The menu was very limited to 5 or 6 items. It was NOT a Mexico cuisine more of rip you off, over expensive restaurant. The average price was $22 per items. NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR TIME.

I’m not one to leave a bad review even when the food sucks but wow I absolutely must.

I ordered a steak fajita plate and paid $25 for the most bland and under-portioned protein dish of fajitas I’ve ever seen and tasted.

The casino isn’t just scamming you. So is this restaurant

Change your recipes and considering giving your customers a PROPER serving of protein.

Beans and rice and sour cream were not even given at the $25 price tag

NEVER again here.

The food is terrible. They have 3 pages full of liquor choices and 1 small page of food choices. I wish I could get my money back. Would never go there again. Eat before you go there to hang with friends.

Menu was changed and not updated online, Chicken Fajita was dry and lacked seasoning the only good thing on the menu was the corn fritters. The drinks were just ok.

The atomosphere is really nice in here. The music is lively and fun. HOWEVER the food was BASURA. Not disgusting where it couldn’t be eaten by a child but whole time I was waiting for a burst of flavor from somewhere. The pork chop was literally just a grilled pork chop. No flavor, and had to ask for salt and pepper for it. Which didn’t even help. The yuca tots had a sauce on them and based off the menu seems like it would taste delicious but I’m here thinking how do you have a sauce on something and STILL NO FLAVOR? Like am I tripping?!
Then I had the steak fajitas and it came with just peppers and onions not the usual beans, sour cream, rice etc. now it didn’t say that on the menu but still. Maybe the only flavorful thing we ordered besides the spicy salsa we had to ask for.

The drinks are good I will say that. i got the Oso Loco and my date got the old fashion and they were giving what needed to be gaven. Bartender Brian did what he needed to do. I

All in all if you come here, DO NOT GET FOOD, and if you do get chips and dip. But stick to drinks!!!

I give this place an over al 4 star. I like the environment, the setting, the location, the food was good but it could be better if they had more options. I would go back but only for the bone marrow beef tacos, the goat cheese on a cone! Whoa! Not for me! If you like goat cheese this one was very strongly spiced for some reason, you can mix it with other foods too for the taste.

Drinks are too expensive. No happy hour, no beer. I came for dinner, not small plates. To only get four pieces of overcooked shrimp was outrageous. The beans were so small it didn’t even fit on the fork. That should have been classified as an appetizer, not dinner. You should not leave any restaurant hungry as I did. I will say that I did enjoy the guacamole, and that’s it.

We used to love this restaurant and went all the time but they recently changed their menu to be a tapas bar. The food is now extremely disappointed and you can tell by how empty the restaurant is and how defeated the wait staff appears (they even sound disappointed when explaining the menu).
