Absolutely the best taco I've ever had in my life. I'm talking about their regular beef tacos, not the Indian taco, which is much different. The Indian taco takes up a half page on the menu, but it's the small regular tacos that I am talking about so don't order the wrong one. Homemade shells, homemade salsa, marinated beef. It was an eye-roller. I live in Missouri and I made a special 100-mile detour when I was on a trip west just to eat there a second time. How I wish she would share their salsa recipe and the marinade recipe for their shredded taco beef. It simply melts in your mouth. Maybe one of these days I will be able to enjoy their tacos again.

On the bright side, and I seem to end up stopping for lunch in Las Vegas a lot, I haven't found anyplace better. My advice, keep driving.

Love the taste of the food, great plates Red & Green! Hate the wait, do expect to be there a while! Service is not so bad! The place is usually pretty clean. Servers need to move a little faster. Cooks need to step it up, plate faster!!!

Waitresses hang the phone up on you when you attempt to place a food order.

All around awful. Took 45 minutes to get our watery, barely.warm food. No beer available nor other alcoholic drinks. No chips, no anything on our table but one glass of water. Didn't even offer refills, we had to ask. Don't go there.

I was in town and visited Smiling Faces on a recommendation from a friend who lives in Vegas, and I’m glad I listened!
I started with the chips and salsa. The chips were freshly homemade, crispy, and delicious. The salsa also tasted fresh and homemade, with great flavor and just the right amount of spice.
For my meal, I ordered the stuffed sopapilla with shredded beef, swapping the beans for papitas, and had it smothered Christmas style. I appreciated that they let me choose between hot or medium chile, I went with hot, and it was fantastic. Spicy enough to enjoy, but not overwhelming. The portion was huge and I really enjoyed each bite!
It did take a little while to get my food, but the service was friendly, everything is made fresh to order, and there are signs noting that they’re short-staffed, so it was understandable.
If I had any constructive feedback to help take this place to the next level, it would be: adding a bit of chile inside the stuffed sopa over the filling to keep it from being a little dry, and serving the chile just a bit warmer, it wasn’t quite as stove-hot as I would have liked..
Overall, it was a great meal. Thank you, Smiling Faces! I’ll definitely be stopping back in next time I’m in Vegas.
