El Nopal
20120913:
I tried to use Yelp to find a good Mexican restaurant around, but it was confusing since the given street addresses can vary significantly from actual locations. Hungry and nearing the expected closing time of most restaurants, we ran into and settled with El Nopal, a Mexican restaurant located in the restaurant area of the Stratosphere.
Luckily, the food was pretty good and its hard to imagine finding better food outside our hotel. In that situation, the food would have had to have been better than the outside heat we would have had to endure on the way to finding it.

The next morning, we went to the food court looking for some breakfast. After a glance through the food court, my sister and I were pretty set on going to El Nopals. We figured they were pretty good last night, and so their breakfast food should be pretty good to. However, I ended up ordering lunch/dinner food. In fact, I got two shredded chicken enchiladas, which I had a taste of last night (20120913) and loved.

This restaurant is located in the food court of the Stratosphere. Desiring Mexican food and not wanting to venture out of our hotel, my family and I decided to give El Nopal a try.
The horchata here is delicious. I ordered a carne asada wet burrito. My sister got enchiladas and my dad got a taco salad. The menu selection is wide and so there are a lot of decisions to be made. You can help narrow your choices by choosing the form of food (e.g. tacos, burritos, and enchiladas). My sister's shredded chicken enchilada was better than my burrito and my burrito was better than her shredded beef enchilada. The shredded chicken was nice and moist.
My family and I decided to come back the next day for breakfast/lunch. I got the shredded chicken enchilada and again it was good chicken. I was also able to consume the refried beans with the rice quite happily. Finally, I had a taste of my mom's eggs. I liked the taste. The eggs were prepared with cheese and green bell peppers.
