Chef
Saul Ortiz is warming up with new menu items available exclusively from Oct.15
to Dec. 31 to welcome the fall season at Tacos & Tequila (T&T) inside
Luxor Hotel and Casino.
Chef
Saul has added his own twist to two seasonal favorite, the pumpkin flan and
caramel café. The delicious creamy pumpkin custard is topped with cajeta and
tequila caramel sauces, priced at $7. For the ultimate dessert, T&T will
also introduce the caramel café mixed with espresso, tequila cajeta, milk,
Patron XO mocha and Café Navan vanilla cognac, priced at $8. The restaurant
will also offer the combo taco platter featuring the spicy ghost pepper salsa
with three tacos including carne, carnitas and chicken served with rice and
beans, priced at $17.
Named
one of the best tequila bars of 2011 in America by USA Today, Tacos &
Tequila embodies the cool modernism of Mexico City while incorporating
traditional elements of Mexican style and Las Vegas flair. The color mixture of
old and new creates a vivid picture of brushed aluminum, dark wood, leather,
bright fabrics and colored glass. The focal point of T&T’s design is its
abstract sombrero composed of 20 brushed-aluminum panels featuring thousands of
laser-cut images, including two 30-foot dancing, tequila-drinking skeletons.
Lit from within, the breathtaking panels stretch across the entire length of
the restaurant floor and across the common area, connecting the T&T retail
store and walk-up daiquiri bar.
