Now those were some excellent enchiladas suizas—not to mention a fine ribeye and homemade tortillas—that my guests and I enjoyed on the opening day (October 16) of Los Amores De Julia.

Look for this sharp-looking Mexican eatery with outstanding food and an upbeat atmosphere on W Sahara Ave across from Palace Station in the building that formerly housed Culichi Town. It’s a huge space with a separate bar, a stage for mariachi bands (Tues-Sun), and a store selling and  celebrating Mexican culture with coffee, pottery, baked goods, and candy lining the shelves.

After dining here, step into the store to shop for items that make Mexico great. (Image: Vegas 411)

Los Amores has six other locations (five in CA, one in Texas) and they serve brunch every day (8:30am-2pm) in addition to dinner. Wishing them success, particularly since its opening has coincided with an unfortunate array of restaurant closures in Vegas.
