Imperial Tacos & Beer

I’ll make this short a sweet, me and some friends came just for some drinks with high hopes but it was nothing but a let down. The drink prices were okay because of happy hour but the customer service if you can even call it that was horrible!!! I will definitely not be returning!

This place is my sisters favorite so she wanted to take me here and I’m indifferent of it it’s not amazing but it’s not horrible. Taco Tuesday is .50cents off of a taco. I was really interested in the vegetarian options however the ones I tried were WAY to cheesy. I love cheese but these babies were so packed with cheese it wasn’t appetizing. The shrimp taco was bleh. Didn’t like anything about it. Not the flavor nor the texture. My favorite was the fish taco! It was probably what made this trip decent. I wouldn’t personally return for my sake but if my sister wants to go again I would definitely just order the fish taco.

THE TACOS: Several options to choose from, including 3 vegetarian versions! Unfortunately I found the lengua plain and greasy, but the grilled fish taco was fairly good. Unfortunately it was wrapped in a waxy, store-​bought flour tortilla. Prices are a little high, ~$ 3−4/per with a 50-​cent discount on Taco Tuesdays. If you’re going to hype up your tacos and price them higher than nearby taquerias, at least make your own tortillas in-​house.
THE BEER: Sat at the bar for my visit. Selection looks good, but my server/​bartender wasn’t particularly knowledgeable, friendly, or service-​oriented. There were several friendly ladies behind the bar but the one serving patrons seemed to be the least suited for it. She barely made eye contact, didn’t engage in any conversation, and didn’t seem to want to be there. Perhaps she was having an off day.
THE REST: Interesting setup, lively atmosphere. The surprise hit of the night was the taco salad with grilled chicken, which had a lot of different, fresh ingredients (toasted pumpkin seeds, a tasty cilantro-​ranch, some citrus!) and a low price tag. They have some live music events and are really pushing their Nacho House Sundays.

This place has amazing food.
Good happy hour.
Good drinks.
Nice staff.
They have fallen into the ridiculous Vegas mentality that pumping bass helps a restaurant– Sunday’s and Tuesday’s.
They just started this trend. It’s a terrible choice in my opinion. People were constantly asking for it to be turned down.
It is saddening that management has decided to fall victim to the whole Vegas idea of loud repetitive music rather than catering to locals like they used to.
It would be 5 star but the music is a serious deterrent.
Sad.

I liked my first outing here, the tacos were quite tasty and they have a great variety of beer.
Staff was friendly and attentive. I’d definitely come back.

Food was good and service good. Not THE best Mexican I’ve had in Vegas but inventive and fun. Great guacamole nice and chunky and fresh. Atmosphere was disappointing however. We were in early on a Saturday but felt very BLAH

I just don’t get tacos like this in Cleveland. I must say, these may be the very best I’ve ever had in my life. And I’m not one given to hyperbole. Excellent meal.

I absolutely love this restaurant. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, it’s not the place to be. But if you are looking for exceptionally tasty «mexican enough» food, this is the spot to be. There taco selection is extensive, I’m a huge fan of their al pastor and baja fish. Puerco verde is delicious as well. Tons of beers on tap, hip interior design, and great overall ambiance.
The only draw back is that this place is a tad pricey for what you get (each taco and side is ordered individually). If you have an average appetite, it’s no big deal. You really do get the quality that you pay for. However, if you have a bigger appetite you, might be a bit less satisfied with what you’ll spend to fill up.
I would be there every Taco Tuesday if I wasn’t worried about my waistline!

Fun for taco variety. You can downsize to a small bite size version of 12 choices in either 6 or 12 mini taco plates. All fantastic.
The only negative thing was the price of beer. The most expensive I’ve seen outside of a sporting venue or concert arena. Paid $ 12 for a 10 oz. farmhouse ale!
Worthy stop for tacos & beer choices, hence the name. 20 taps and a bottle selection.
The restaurant name on Unilocal says Imperial Tacos & Beer. There is no mention of Imperial here anywhere so it was tough to find at first, especially on Open Table.

Checked out this spot last night. And it was so GOOD! From the start, pomegranate and pumpkin seed guacamole then some bomb tacos with micheladas and a side of corn salad… to finishing with a delicious churros dessert. My tummy is happy. Mexican food made uniquely and delicious. This will totally be the go to spot when we’re in Vegas.

I liked this place.
Great taco’s.
Great selection of Beer.
Good, quick service.
Nice interior. Good music posters on the wall (Sonic Youth, Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr.)
I’m gonna go again, next time in town.

Now this is a worthy destination and should be a must do next time you are in Vegas. So many tasty options…
I had a Chorizo, Baja Fish, Chicken Tiki or something-​or-​other and a beef tongue… All awesome!!! The Margaritas were great too! And it was taco Tuesday so 50¢ off each taco. So good
Do it!

True to its name, this place serves up some mean tacos (and beer). Beer choice is pretty hipster (lots of IPAs and ciders) and they also have margaritas.
Womp Womp I wrote a review

We’ve been here a few times now and it is consistently good food with consistently ok service, especially if you’re sitting on the patio.
You obviously can’t go wrong with ordering the tacos and beer… Duh! But if you must venture away from those items, I have to say, the salads are extremely flavorful and delicious!!! I have tried to copy creating it, but I just can’t get it right.
The décor is quite fun and interesting. There’s large TV screens, a turtle with a skull head, burning candles, biblical people doing funny things, etc. This is a great place to start your night out with a group of people.

I visited Vegas to party on the Strip, which became reclusive. I discovered Tacos and Beer on the recommendation of a local and I am so glad I ventured here.
It’s a late night, neighborhood gem that had music and patrons dancing on the patio. My friends and I made it just in time for their late night happy hour 11PM-​2AM. Chicken quesadillas, Baja fish taco & queso fundido, and chicken/​steak nachos were ordered. For happy hour, select tacos were on special, but we chose to partake in the $ 5 margarita deals + $ 3.50 bottled beers. The margaritas were ok, either too sweet or tart. No complaints on the food!
Cool vibes, nice décor, and nice atmosphere; I’d definitely visit again when I come to Vegas.

First time here! Had a few modelo Negras and a couple of micheladas which were good. We also ordered some tacos. I ordered the 8.95 mini taco special so I could try a few different meats. I ordered chicken tinga. Carne asada and bbq beef. They were tasty I was just surprised how small they ended up being! My love
Ordered 3 tacos. Shrimp. Al pastor. And chorizo. Overall it was good and I would come come again!

I haven’t had much from the menu, but the beer selection is on point.
The staff is great and very knowledgeable about the rotating taps.
It’s a small place and gets pretty crowded on weekends. They are also open pretty late (until 2 I believe), so it’s a great spot for grub after a show at Hard Rock or if you’re in the area.

I still like going here but sometimes the service is painfully slow. Also, the fruity margaritas don’t always float my boat– I’d rather get a regular one.
The food is good though! It is usually a good spot to meet friends, location wise and menu/​drink wise.

Ok so this is the second time I’ve been here. I couldn’t remember what I didn’t like from the first time. I just remembered I didn’t plan on coming back. But I met a friend for lunch. He picked here.
I love the décor! The lights are main with the Jesus candles which is pretty cool!!! And there is a mural of Cheech and Chong behind the bar! Once again awesome!!!
Drinks– Some beer comes in tall cans so ask before you order. Passion fruit margarita so sour and tart that I couldn’t finish mine. It was awful! And it’s $ 9 for a small glass on the rocks! Originally I was going to order a cider but wasn’t about to spend $ 14-​$ 16 on one cider!!!
Food– Crunchy taco the worst taco I’ve ever had the meat is drenched in a sauce that tastes sooo bad I didn’t even finish it. Shrimp taco had too much going on. And shrimp isn’t whole it’s pieces. There was no shrimp flavor because of all of the sauces. Best taco was the bean and cheese. It was actually really good and I think it would have been better plain.
Service was interesting. When I first came in. I said I was expecting someone and took a table. Ordered margarita. The nasty passion fruit one. I asked how it was and he said a little sweet. Liar!!! That thing was like drinking sour candy! And he kept coming up asking if I was ready. Seriously in 10 minutes he came up 5 times. And when my friend sat down asked if we were ready. I literally had to say give us a minute. Geez the guy hasn’t even looked at the menu yet. Then he wasn’t around when we were ready. Finally he came back and ordered. Two other people came up and checked on us. Then we waiter forever for the check.
Don’t waste your time!

Don’t be blindsided and miss this little awesome taco joint, it’s in a little plaza in Paradise road. I love their simple name of «tacos and beer» and when you walk in this small restaurant, it is filled with great authentic décor and detail. Absolutely stunning interior design for a taco shop.
Anyway, my boyfriend and I came to Tacos and Beer for Cinco de Mayo! Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to come her for the first time on this day just because the service was so slow because of the crowd. But the food and drinks were great! We will definitely be back on a regular day and hopefully it’s even better!
