Trying to narrow down the very best Mexican food in a city that’s so enriched by the thousands of people of Mexican descent is as challenging as, say, narrowing down the best Asian restaurants in San Francisco or Cuban restaurants in Miami. It’s possible, but it’s very much a challenge. What follows are three vastly different eateries with distinct approaches to the rich flavors of Mexico. What they do share is a flair for the authentic and delicious. – Marco Medrano

Bonito Michoacan Las Vegas

3715 South Decatur Boulevard
Las Vegas, NV 89103
(702) 257-6810

This remarkable neighborhood restaurant doesn’t call too much attention to itself. It is on the corner of a nondescript, busy intersection several miles off The Strip, but the minute you walk in, you instantly realize that you’re in an authentically Mexican establishment. The service is friendly and seamless, but it’s the food that blows you away. From the deliciously tangy tortilla soup to the perfectly grilled shrimp, this restaurant takes great pride in its ingredients and expert execution. Bonito Michoacan is soon to become an addictive addition to your Mexican food repertoire. Hours: Monday through Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Sometimes the hidden gem or unexpected find is right under our very noses. Such is the case with Diego, the stellar Mexican restaurant in the heart of the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. Beautifully designed and expertly staffed, Diego’s is known for many things, not the least of which is its roast chicken with mole (Pollo al Horno con Mole) and the extensive tequila menu. Though technically not a food group, great tequila is as mandatory in a fine Mexican establishment as a hearty cabernet inhabits Italian trattorias. Do yourself a favor and make a date with Diego. And come hungry. Full bar. Dinner hours: Sunday through Friday, 5:30 to 10 p.m.; Saturday, 5 to 10 p.m.
