12 Best Mexican Restaurants in Pahrump

“The food was great as usual. The daily specials menu was new to us and we both tried something new. Highly recommend trying the new specials.“

“We stayed next door and this was very convenient to get a bite to eat after the drive from Vegas. We arrived around 7pm and there were only a couple other tables of diners. We were seated quickly and our waitress visited quickly for a drink order. While we waited for drinks we were served chips and salsa. Both were great, the chips definitely seemed homemade and were not greasy or salty.

We ordered the mole with chicken and the taco salad with pork. They were both delicious! The mole was a rich sauce that had a slow heat to it. The taco salad was huge and the taco shell was crispy. We would definitely go back if we were in the area. Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert, but they had fried ice cream, churros, and flan!“

“I loved everything about this place! There were locals known by the staff and I think that's a good sign. We came after 7pm and they close at 8. Very friendly staff. We ordered and sat down. Food came fast and it was delicious! Kids ordered bacon cheeseburgers and chicken fingers. I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger and the husband ordered a chimichanga. Both were excellent. We aren't from the area and just stopped in for a bite to eat and it was delicious. Prices were great too!“

“They really need to find the new cook since their old one quit. They are advertising to hire one. Today eggs were burnt, hash browns like charcoal. Was horrible“

“I usually eat here often and most of the time is not that bad but this time I thought i was really expensive but we eneded still getting the order we placed over the phone, once my husband arrived he also thought it was to expensive and asked for a recipe but was told they cant give him one because it was placed thru the phone witch it doesnt make any sense when he paid at the moment and they place the prices there in the moment to change !! You should always be able to give a recipe it just makes it seen like they can charge you any price because this is what I bought and paid 51“

“Best Mexican in Pahrump by far.“

“El Jefe’s – Great Mexican Food & Excellent Cadillac Margaritas

El Jefe’s in Pahrump, Nevada, is a fantastic spot for authentic Mexican food with a welcoming atmosphere and great service. From the moment you walk in, the good vibe sets the stage for a delicious meal.

The food is flavorful and well-prepared, with generous portions that make it worth every penny. The shredded beef tacos are tender and packed with flavor, while the carne asada nachos are a standout, loaded with toppings and perfect for sharing.

One of the biggest highlights? Their Cadillac Margarita is excellent—smooth, well-balanced, and just the right mix of sweet and strong. It’s the perfect drink to pair with their delicious menu.

The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure you have everything you need without being intrusive. Whether you're a local or just passing through, El Jefe’s is a must-visit for anyone craving great Mexican food and top-tier margaritas in Pahrump.“

“Worst chicken quesadilla I've ever had. Carne asada fries slap though. I've eaten here many times and have had some good dishes-that's why it's a four star thing. Really, don't order the chicken quesadilla- it's pretty gross.“

“OK so not big on atmosphere (but sure did enjoy the amazing aroma coming from the kitchen!) but this place is my new number one favorite!
Been craving street tacos and oh yeah this place has the best!!
Prices are great and the people very friendly.“

“Just ate here on Sunday. Delicious Mexican food, authentic, not just burritos with beans and rice. Shrimp cocktail good, sauce a little thin. Crispy tacos, Good tostadas. Will go again to try other things. A little pricey and restaurant is noisy.“

“I was at the newly opened Chipotle in Pahrump on Jan 11th. I had never experienced a Chipotle Grill before. The employees were very helpful and the food was great. I will be back very soon. Thank You“

“I pick up the food and looking for door dash usually the atmosphere is very wonderful and sometimes the people working behind the desk get a little busy but as far as the food and the service they usually have my order ready to go when I go pick it up to deliver but some of them younger people are kind of irritated I would say but other than that they do good job“
