Decent food, friendly staff, but quality concerns
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the portion of food was decent, I felt like they skimped on quality. The flavor was lacking.
The staff was really friendly, which was a definite plus. However, considering the price is the same as Roberto's, I'd only recommend this place if you specifically want to support local. Otherwise, I'd suggest trying elsewhere.

Better than Roberto's!
Holy guacamole! This was my first time trying Lalo's, and while it might be Las Vegas blasphemy, I think it's better than Roberto's. The carnitas had amazing flavor, and the carne asada tasted great.
I also had some of the best machaca I've had in a while! On top of the delicious food, the serving sizes were very generous.

Affordable Mexican Food in Vegas
As someone from East LA, I've found Mexican food in Vegas to be consistently average and overpriced. However, upon checking this place online and seeing their super affordable menu, I decided to give it a try. The flavor is average, nothing to complain about, and the price is reasonable.
My son enjoyed the asada fries, and I had the burrito de asada. We both appreciated that neither of us encountered any hard, chewy fat pieces, indicating they provide decent meat. The shopping center it's located in is large and somewhat desolate, making the restaurant itself seem small and lonely, but it's worth giving it a chance.
Your appetite will be satisfied, and it won't break your wallet.
