THE CANTINA

http://www.tuscanylv.com/dining

Inside The Tuscany Casino over on West Flamingo sits an unassuming Mexican Restaurant that isnt half bad!   Normally casino cuisine doesnt do much for me.

Don rolled The Big Green die.    A 4

We didnt really have much money to go dicing and I was like, we can throw it on the credit card and worry about it later but after the previous weeks fiasco wth Cabo Wabo, Don was worried about me paying the card and since he had comps at this location since he and his mom Gamble at this casino almost exclusively, he chose it and then chose the Mexican restaurant inside, the other 2 choices consist of an Italian restaurant and a cafe.

Once inside I ordered a Spicy Bloody Mary and he ordered a raspberry Iced Tea and I rolled the die.

For the section of the menu that I would have to try an Item I rolled a 5.  The die gets to choose!
6 more rolls later and I learn I have to try a Quesadilla.   4 told me that Don would get to choose the type and he chose cheese.   It was OK.   I also ordered another drink and a 4 Item combo meal, a chicken Tamale which was VERY Good, VERY Tender and 2 Ground Beef Tacos which were VERY well seasoned and Just delicious!   I was very happy.

Don's Turn!   I rolled a 2.   I decided that he would have to try a combo meal as well and then I rolled a 3 which meant that he would choose how many Items he was getting, he wasnt that hungry and chose 3, one more roll revealed that he had to let the die choose all 3 Items, he wasnt happy about that and it was probably the first time that the die had treated him this way, he has been very lucky!

The die chose 1 shredded Beef Taco which he said was good but he liked ground beef much better.
1 Chicken Taquito which he said was OK and 1 Ground Beef Taco which he loved but prefers Burritos.

We couldnt resist trying Fried Ice Cream.  I had never had it before and had always wanted to and he was right, It was delicious!    Oh, Our Waiter is always the same cute guy, dont know his name, Don probably does  ;)

Top 3?    No.  Chapalas is STILL BOTH of our Favorite Mexican Restaurants BUT we liked Cantina so much that later we brought my family (Cory, Amber, Jamie and Tammy) and treated them to dinner and they seemed to really like it so we will be back!
