Red Rock Casino Has A New Mexican Restaurant! Welcome Mercadito!

Yesterday Monday, June 23, Las Vegas welcomed a new restaurant for casual, creative Mexican cuisine as Mercadito opened at Red Rock Resort (11011 W. Charleston Blvd. Las Vegas).  Drawing from culinary experiences of Mexican markets, Mercadito features a wide variety of creative tacos made with handmade corn masa tortillas, five different guacamoles, three choices of refreshing ceviche and classic dishes like enchiladas and chile rellenos. Mercadito Red Rock will spotlight new items crafted specifically for the Las Vegas location including nachos, ensaldada verde and the Mercadito mac & cheese.  The Tippling Bros., Mercadito’s exclusive beverage partner, creates a perfectly designed drink menu featuring “on draft” cocktails including margaritas, sangria and a variety of signature drinks, as well as frozen libations, an impressive tequila list and non-alcoholic aqua frescas.  Reservations are recommended.
