Yolo's Mexican Grill
At Yolos Mexican Grill, the fun-loving crowd, and the cool and energetic colors of the dining room all serve notice that this urbane cantina is a little different from what you’ll find anywhere else in Las Vegas.
The service is as gracious as any down Mexico way. The kitchen puts a deliciously inventive spin on all your favorite Mexican dishes with a global flair of international cooking including the Pacific Rim, South American, and Caribbean cuisine.
Open daily from 11:30am, with an eclectic selection of over 60 tequilas and a fresh fruit margarita bar, Yolos Mexican Grill is the ultimate Mexican experience.

"The food was ordinary Mexican fare. Nothing particularly special or tasty about it. A companion's fajita's were dry and my soft tacos were bland. The guacamole was very good and the service was excellent and fast but I am certain you can do better for casual and/or Mexican food elsewhere."

"The fish tacos didn't taste like fish.
The Spanish rice was just colored orange.
The chicken was bland.
The hot sauce was weak.
The guacamole and coconut shrimp were ok.
Our main course came right after our appetizers
The tables look like a mall food court"

"Dining area was fairly empty for a Friday night in Vegas...this came as a surprise, being that this place is advertised all over Planet Hollywood and is in a good location...Seating was abundant both at table and bar...Bar was a bit more lively, so chose to sit there rather than reserved table...Bartender and staff are very friendly, helpful, and quick...Food was great and portions are large...had the hatch chili enchiladas($14)...at 11pm it switches from nice restaurant to more of a "barsy" type scene and atmosphere with karaoke...definitely recommend being done with dinner by 11 and into drinks by then...this place is a bit more upscale than a standard mexican grille which makes it a nice place to eat before hitting the strip..."

"The food here was Ok for mexican food. It came out fast. The real up and downside is that it is right in the casino. Unfortunately it is not protected from the noise and smell (of smoke) which detracts from the experience. Probably a good place to go after a day of gambling when you need a quick meal. Not great with kids."

"Overall, I enjoyed our visit and would recommend this restaurant to my friends.
It was curiously loud and noisy; perhaps that's part of the room's design.
Our server Roy was charming and very attentive during our entire visit.
I recommend ordering the guacamole (appetizer); they prepare it for you right at your table, and it has a wonderful fresh taste.
Everyone in our party of 6 got something different, and we each liked our food.
I got the Street Tacos (carne asada), and I enjoyed adding to them as I wished, from the provided mexi rice, black beans, guac, etc.
The margaritas and the two types of sangria were tasty, if a little weak & under-sized."

"My wife and I had terrible service. After our meals arrived the waiter disappeared and did not check in on us till 8 minutes after we finished eating. We were not able to get a water refill nor place additional drink orders. The food was good and so was the atmosphere. But it was overshadowed by the poor service. I enjoyed being able to place a reservation online."

"I enjoyed the nachos and tostada salad. Thursday nights there is karaoke. There weren't too many people when I was there but it could vary on different nights. There is a special on sangria sometimes...$25 for the pitcher. The red sangria is delicious. I'd call ahead of time to find out if they have the special."

"My girlfriend and I had dinner at Yolo's because we were attending a concert at Planet Hollywood that night. We had a reservation and it only took about five-minutes to get seated. We had never dined at Yolo's before and we had reviewed the liquor menu and decided on our drink, then reviewed the food menu and decided on our appetizer and entree's several minutes before a waiter showed up at our table. Yolo's is a small restaurant and it's in-excusable to make a table wait 10 to 15 minutes before even taking a drink order. The drinks were average. The tacos were good but overall the meal was not worth the $100+ dollars we spent on four drinks and tacos."
