5 restaurants you have to eat at OFF the Las Vegas Strip
When most people head for Las Vegas, they leave the airport and make a beeline for the Strip. Keeping in mind that’s where the big casino resorts are, that’s no surprise. It’s also home to massively popular restaurants run by some of the world’s biggest celebrity chefs.
But if you take the time to step away from the Las Vegas Strip, you’ll find an amazing selection of restaurants. And that’s in addition to all of the other experiences waiting for you. Still, it’s important to remember that the Las Vegas food scene extends beyond the Strip.

Located in Green Valley Ranch, Borracha Mexican Cantina offers a healthy dose of Mexico to the Las Vegas scene. Their menu is a great mix of classic Mexican food as well as dishes that weren’t created south of the border. But they’re delicious nonetheless.
On top of that, Borracha has a massive drink menu, including an almost overwhelming list of available tequilas and more. Plus, if you want to take the goodness away, Borracha offers take home meals for four. But let’s just say they’re also good for one if you’re hungry enough.
