Local Favorite Serving Up Delicious Mexican Fare At Las Vegas Casino

One of Las Vegas’ favorite local Mexican restaurants, Lindo Michoacan, will be serving up their delicious fare at their newest location inside Palace Station Hotel Casino. They officially open their doors on Thursday, May 2, 2024, just in time for Cindo de Mayo weekend.

When I first moved to Las Vegas over 30 years ago from the Inland Empire of Southern California, I asked many locals about their favorite Mexican restaurants. After all, Southern California certainly has plenty of them.

I quickly found out that the original Lindo Michoacan at 2655 East Desert Inn Road was certainly one of Las Vegas’ favorite Mexican restaurants. That location opened back in 1990, and since then, the owners have added many locations around the valley.

You can always enjoy their delicious sizzling fajitas, tableside prepared guacamole, and thirst-quenching margaritas at Bonita Michoacan, 3715 South Decatur Boulevard in Spring Valley.

In addition, there’s a Lindo Michoacan restaurant in Summerlin at 10082 West Flamingo Road.

If you check out the website of the original Lindo Michoacan, you’ll learn that owner Javier Barajas learned to cook in Michoacan, Mexico. That region is known for its amazing food, especially seafood.

Now, Lindo Michoacan is opening their fourth location. In fact, visitors to Las Vegas will soon learn how delicious their food is because their newest location can be found inside Palace Station Hotel Casino.

It’s opening just in time for Cinco de Mayo weekend in the location where Tacos & Tequilas used to operate. That’s according to an article by Janna Karel on Vegas.Eater.com.

If you’re ready to dine there during opening weekend, you should know that operating hours will be Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Expect slightly extended hours on the weekend.

For instance, on Fridays, the newest Lindo Michoacan restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to midnight. On Saturday, you can dine there between 10 a.m. and midnight. Then on Sunday, they’ll be open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. That information also comes from Karel's article.

Another favorite is the braised veal shank in an incredible burgundy wine and dark beer sauce. But no matter which dish you choose, I’m sure you’ll love it.

Brunch is the best time of day because you get the option of choosing breakfast and lunch for one meal. Why pick between scrambled eggs and bacon with brown butter pancakes or a fried chicken sandwich on jidori bread when you can have both?

The consensus on brunch is that it officially starts at 11:00 a.m. and runs until about 3 p.m. That is a four hour window to awaken your inner hunger demons to come out and play.

Downtown Summerlin is the upper echelon of shopping malls in Las Vegas and anyone that tells you different must live in Henderson. Just kidding.

The upscale outdoor shopping mall features many favorite stores including: Apple Store, Bath and Body Works, Macys and Lulu Lemon. They have a wide variety of dining choices with local hotspots like Maggiano's, Public School 702 and True Food Kitchen.

There is a relatively newer restaurant in town called, Fine Company. Many mall frequents may know what we are talking about but if you don't see below:

Fine Company feels very cozy on the inside with darker toned wood-panel walls and lots of grandiose foliage in the center of the room. The atmosphere is causal where workers on lunch or the occasional couple would come to dine.

The cashless restaurant is an elevated eatery with a focus on healthy plates. Chef Roy Ellemar is the mastermind behind the dishes while "focusing on the local community" states FineCompanyLV.com.

A few of their classic menu-items include:

Brunch Plates: Mom's Banana Bread which features local wild flower honey, good butter and delicate sea salt.

Eggs & Friends: Breakfast Burger which features 6oz beef burger, new school American cheese, bacon, French toast bun, hash-brown, maple syrup and a sunny egg.

According to their website, FineCompanyLV.com, they also offer a luxurious 'Golden Hour' complimentary cocktail (Monday through Friday) on their patio from 6p.m. - 8p.m.

The food at Fine Company is very tasty, cooked-well and displayed perfect for post-worthy photos on social media.

Located under Brunch Plates is a banana bread that will make your mouth water just thinking about it. This food item is served until 2 p.m. which is an hour before restaurant close. Hostess recommended and the softness and banana flavor packs a punch in each and every bite. The plate is served with a swirly creamy butter that pairs perfectly. The cost of Mom's Banana Bread is $10.

Located under Shareable Plates are well stuffed and savory dates. The dates are stuffed with lamb sausage, goat cheese, red pepper romesco and parsley pesto. The red pepper romesco was light and tangy to kick just enough kick. The rpesentation was brigh with fresh green urbs on top. The cost of Merhuez Stuffed Dates is $16.

Located under Eggs & Friends is a play on the Dr. Suess' "Green Eggs and Ham." The plate was was full in proportion and light on flavor. The dish features egg white scramble, spinach, broccoli, kale, mushroom, onion and baby greens salad. The salad was drenched in a sweet vinaigrette. The cost of Green Eggs, No Ham is $16. As we were told, this menu-item is seasonal.

Located under Lunch plates is a hearty and healthy option. The plate features braised fennel, fingerling potatoes and curry scented buttermilk. The fish was well seasoned and the skin wasn't mushy. The plate was bright with the pieces of ice berg and purple-red cabbage. The cost of this plate is $28.
