Amaro Chocolate Snickers, S’Mores Macaron
Best described as a more personal project from Chef Oscar Amador the space on Jones and Spring Mountain was reborn as Amador Cocina Fina on 11/1/2025, eight years after EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine abruptly reshaped what Sin City felt Spanish Food was capable of.
A James Beard Award-nominiated Chef with roots in Catalonia, Amador Cocina Fina sees Oscar step outside EDO Hospitality for a one-off focused on Food instead of management with Chef regularly on the line doing what he loves.
“More Latin, more me cooking anything I want to cook” per Chef, the refrigerator of dry aging Fish up front and a caddy of labor intensive Condiments on each table just a few examples, Amador’s opening menu showed a man happy to stretch his legs while a collaboration between Oscar and James Trees as part of the “Dialogue” series further sought to push Las Vegas’ dining scene forward.

Diamond Spur Provisions & Meats
Hot Chicken Caesar Hero
Meatball Hero
Chicken Parm Hero
All Natural Rotisserie Chicken
Ranch Steak Frites
1/4 lb Cheeseburger
Chicken Salad
Pasta Salad
Owned by Chef Marc Marrone and Todd Lunger Diamond Spur Meats & Provisions opened late-May 2026 with all the #influencer shenanigans one might expect, though thankfully the project leans on quality Ingredients and cookery with an ethos deserving of respect.
Located at 8241 South Fort Apache Road, Marrone’s return to Las Vegas after years on the ranch seeing his newest concept part Butcher shop and part eatery, guests will find a simple menu with fair prices including the likes of a juicy all-natural Rotisserie Chicken for just under $15.
Missing the era of Graffiti Bao, though Diamond Spur’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese throws back to those days in taste and price, Sandwiches sold as Heros pack a lot of Meat on the Sesame Seed Roll whether one of two styles of Chicken or featuring Marcs legendary Meatballs that helped made Lavo a thing.
Using Audubon Certified Beef for Steak Frites, the Tallow Fries and rich Protein both covered in thick Sauce with earthy aromatics, sides don’t skimp on quality whether classic Pasta Salad with Olives or Chicken Salad that tastes like the Rotisserie with Red Peppers and subtle seasoning throughout.

Paymon’s Fresh Kitchen and Lounge
Hummus
Pita Bread
Broiled Chicken Kabob – roasted tomato, sautéed vegetables, potatoes, vermicelli pilaf
Koobideh Kabob – roasted tomato, sautéed vegetables, potatoes, vermicelli pilaf
Fesenjan
Baklava
Rice Pudding
Serving Las Vegas since 1988 Paymon’s Restaurant is as close as it gets to a local “institution,” its longevity attributable to fair prices and the sort of Food that is “ethnic” but familiar and focused on good products made fresh daily.
A labor of love from Paymon Raouf, the decision to change from a “Mediterranean Café” to a “Fresh Kitchen and Lounge” in 2020 seeing the menu expand into Indian and Italian options, plates still focus on healthy preparation eschewing additives and preservatives with options to suit most dietary preferences.
Ordered as delivery, everything arriving temperature appropriate in individual packaging, the first thing one will notice is that instead of just Rice the Kabobs arrive with Roasted Vegetables and Potatoes with limited Salt but lots of seasoning to match moist but well-cooked Meats.
Teamed with Jeff Ecker since 2000, a number of accolades earned since, Paymon’s Hummus arrives smooth with lots of Garlic matched to Tahini, though Pita is unfortunately no better than the store bought stuff.
Looking next at Fesenjan, decent but a far cry from Zaytoon in terms of taste or consistency, dueling Desserts perform well whether one prefers thick Baklava with Walnuts or large-grain Rice Pudding with Whipped Cream on top that eats light like the versions in France.

Friendly Donut House
Glazed Old Fashioned Donut
Buttermilk Bar
Apple Fritter
Blueberry Cake Donut
Cake Donut with Cinnamon Crumble
Bearclaw
Arguably Sin City’s eldest purveyor of Fried Dough Friendly Donut House remains a Henderson staple for good reason, opening hours as early as 4:00am daily finding shelves full of fried Dough paired to pleasant customer service.
The sort of place built for Veterans to linger over Coffee, a strip-mall on South Boulder Highway playing host to regulars for decades, fans of classics will find lightly fried Yeast rings beneath Glaze while those who favor Cake can choose Vanilla or Chocolate with Sprinkles, Cinnamon Crumble or plain.
Also offering Longjohns and Bismarcks, the later piped with Cream or Custard, Buttermilk Bars are textbook thanks to penetrant Sugar plus Icing in a variety of flavors while the Bear Claw and Apple Fritter are easily Sin City’s best and well-worth the drive, cost and calories thanks to the golden exterior and Cinnamon-spiced Fruit inside.

Continuously evolving thanks to customer comments Bar Bohème recently debuted a Bakery “Pop-up,” plans to open from 8:00am until 11:00am on the third Saturday of every month met with such demand that anyone not in line by eight o’clock sharp was left with very limited choices.
A combination of all James Trees’ concepts, Budino and Sourdough from Esther’s Kitchen alongside towering Rainbow Cake reminiscing Al Solito Posto, most choices come from talented Pastry Chef Jake Yergensen including buttery Bostock and Croissants that wouldn’t be out of place on the streets of Paris.
Also bringing back Ada’s Cookies, Biscoff and Raspberry nearly as good as the oldschool Caramel Pretzel from Tivoli Village, additional highlights came from laminated Cheese Danishes with Harry’s Strawberries and a vibrant Calamansi Cruffin.

Glazed Strawberry Filled Doughnut
Vanilla Fruity Pebbles Doughnut
Maple Longjohn
Chocolate Longjohn
Family owned and operated from the start, Dominic Sang bringing Dad’s recipes from a Texas Doughnuttery to Sin City in October 2015, guests entering Glaze Doughnuts will notice little has since changed about the shop in nearly a decade while their soft base and creative toppings earn “Best of Las Vegas” accolades annually.
Located on Fort Apache Road, fair prices and friendly service undoubtedly part of Glaze’s appeal, what the shop lacks in selection is more than made up for in quality compared to the likes of Dunkin, Krispy Kream or other spots nearby.
Largely built on Yeast Rings, though undersized Fritters perform admirably, fans of simplicity will find Maple Frosting far more subtle than most while Chocolate and Vanilla Glaze are also of excellent quality with or without additions such as Cereal or Candy.
Not over-the-top, but balanced and complex, Black and White Sesame dazzle atop a fluffy leavened base while Vanilla with Oreos do the same, though if one is seeking Glaze’s top choice the decision comes down to Blueberry Cinnamon Toast, Churros and Horchata or Matcha Green Tea Pistachio that delivers sweetness beneath toasty notes.

Wicked Donuts
Ube Mochi Donut

Tiramisu Donut
Wicked Boston Cream
Bella Nutella
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookie Cronut Bowl
Sugar Rolled Cronut
Offering over two-dozen flavors daily, in addition to freshly-fried minis available in a keto-friendly fashion, any discussion of Wicked Donuts should begin with the base, buttery Brioche or toothsome Cake enjoyable beneath tangy Buttermilk or Vanilla Glaze, though upgrading to Chocolate, Blueberry or Maple is highly advised.
Eschewing Artificial Colors or Preservatives, a fact pertinent to Cream-filled choices, suffice it to say that most will not last long whether it be decadent “Bella Nutella” or the more nuanced Lemon Meringue.
Executing Ansel’s invention well, available filled, topped or coated in Sugar, the Chocolate Chip Cookie Cronut Bowl is a fun little bite while “Puffernuts,” Mochi and Cruffins add even more variability to the collection.

Shanghai Taste
House Fried Rice with Sausage
Shanghai Fried Rice Cake with Shrimp
House Fried Fat Noodles with Beef
Sheng Jian
Scallion Pancakes
Kao Fu
Tucked inside Suite 104 of 4266 Spring Mountain Road, it was via contacting ShangHai Taste directly that catering was coordinated on Wednesday, Managing Partner Joe Muscaglione arriving at 11:45am-sharp with six items portioned large enough for sharing.
Still the top destination in Shanghai Plaza at the corner of Arville Street, family recipes handed down to Chef Jimmy Li comprising a concise menu of scratch-made plates, it was with all items carefully-packed and temperature appropriate that most got started with Fried Rice, a bit of tooth welcomed amidst Pork, Egg and Soy.
Now the 28th time delivered, though Jimmy’s years at 3 Villages, 1900 Asian Cuisine and Niu Gu will find many locals familiar with his authentic brand of cooking, fans of Soup Dumplings, or XLB, will be happy to know ShangHai Taste’s set a high standard, and whether one prefers Pork, Beef, Shrimp, Crab or even Gluten Free the textures and flavors are great, as too are the fried version entitled Sheng Jian with Sesame Seeds.
Again impressing with House Fried Fat Noodles, each strand slick and slightly chewy tossed with Steak, Stir-fried Rice Cakes traditionally known as Chao Nian Gao remain a personal favorite thanks to sticky-soft pillows with Salt and a bit of sweetness.
Only offering one Dessert, not “American” by any stretch, remaining stomach capacity saw Chocolate Dumplings skipped this time while guests with a sense of adventure enjoyed steamed Wheat Gluten Kao Fu with Mushrooms, fermented Soy and Ginger.

Founded in early 2021 Milpa has come a long way since it took over the former Elia space at 4226 South Durango Drive, Chef DJ Flores’ embrace of traditional techniques with an eye towards health-conscious cooking earning a James Beard Award semi-finalist nod in 2024.
Open daily for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with an odd location in the lot of a Strip-mall, easily missed despite the fact that Chef Flores is cooking some of the best contemporary Mexican Cuisine in Sin City, guests will find the interior quaint while service is both efficient and charming.
Recently forming Nivel Hospitality Group with Aaron Cappello, their bar called Nocturno earning positive reviews in the Arts District, Milpa remains part Molino and part sit-down Café with stone-ground housemade Tortillas and slowly-braised Meats a point of pride.
Simple in signage, Milpa Mexican Cafe in yellow over the door, most Entrees hover in the $15-20 range with both Barbacoa and Beef Birria with Consomme showing the sort of depth one might expect of a Vegas native with skills developed under thinkfoodgroup and Too Hot Tamales before staging at Quintonil in Mexico City.
Achieving the rare trifecta of healthy, affordable and delicious, all while utilizing time honored techniques plus many local Ingredients, seasonal Tamales are thick, soft and with the perfect amount of moisture while Corn Esquites paired to Chips channel Elotes minus all the Mayonnaise.

Debuted in 2025 at Boca Park and open 24-hours Pinkbox Doughnuts remains Las Vegas’ premier spot for unique Doughnuts, just as it has since debuting over a decade ago.
More and more social-media savvy over the years this visit entailed far beyond the usual “OG Classics,” and although PinkBox’s Old Fashioned Cogwheels are still Las Vegas’ best additional traditional choices are mostly as expected making “Fancy Pancy” or “Show Off” choices a necessity.
Fully committed to clever nomenclature, Roberto Armanino’s famous Caramel Cheesecake now “The Caramelo,” “Mr. Blueberry” succeeds thanks to the homemade Filling and plenty of complexity while “The Big Samoan” uses Coconut for texture atop a Ring with a Chocolate Shell bottom.
Replenishing supply as necessary, high volume assuring everything is fresh, Fritters both achieve high marks while “Dubai Chocolate’” eats like its namesake on a Cocoa Cake base.

Meraki Greek Grill
Beef and Lamb Gyro
Chicken Gyro
Pita
French Fries
Mama’s Rice Pudding
Baklava – Phyllo, Walnuts, Honey
Greektown Donuts – Nutella
Formerly a regular part of the lunch rotation, Estiatorio Milos Chef Nikos Georgousis and Girair ‘Jerry’ Goumroian of Henderson’s The Great Greek all-but rescuing the plaza on Rainbow at Tropicana in early 2017, it was once again that Meraki was ordered on Tuesday.
Nothing less than an Off-Strip sensation since opening its doors guests may now opt for dine-in or take-out from any of six locations, Meraki’s servings always more than generous and prices affordable even as prices everywhere rise.
Defined as “doing something with soul, creativity and love,” a spirit embodied by courteous employees, it was at noon that employees arrived to easy-stacking boxes containing temperature-control trays, this simple extra step guaranteeing Food is indistinguishable from that served inside the Restaurant.
Serving a diverse crowd, but doing so with an impressive spread of Proteins, Produce and imported Ingredients, Hummus remains a highlight in terms of taste and texture while tangy Tzatziki shines thanks to “authentic” Greek Yogurt.
This time putting plenty of Feta on Meraki’s Salads, just the it aught to be, Greek Rice receives high praise for its fluffiness and flavor while the Gyro kit allowed ample customization of marinated Chicken or Gyro Meat with Tomatoes, Lettuce and Onion
Happy to find no shortage of Pita, soft and warm rounds gratuitously slathered with dueling Spreads, Vegetarians can choose crisp and oilless Potatoes lightly perfumed by Herbs or two-bite Falafel that are light but toothsome and fragrant with Garlic as well as Cilantro.
Not forgetting Dessert, Mama’s Rice Pudding always a staff favorite, Honey-soaked Baklava rife with Walnuts is also highly recommended and arguably the best in Sin City.

Banana Pudding
Open from 11:00am until 9:00pm daily, and Sin City’s best place for Barbecue ever since the Henderson original debuted in January 2016, it was for lunch on Thursday that the smell of Big B’s Texas BBQ filled the downstairs, staff quick to gather for an abundance of smoked Meat, Dessert and Sides from the 2025 Sahara location.
Named after its Pit Master and changing the long-held belief that Las Vegas is not a Barbeque town ever since the original opened, Big B’s Texas BBQ features the work of Brian Buechner and Natalia Badzjo, the husband and wife team taking a hands-on approach to every aspect of the operation from build-out to driving in fresh piles of wood as needed from the Lone Star State.
Available for dine-in, take-out, catering and delivery, all presented by one of the most pleasant teams in town, over-ordering is easy regardless of preference for Pork or Beef including Ribs, pulled-style or Brisket with a good smoke ring whether fatty or lean.
Texas through and through, the aforementioned wood just one reason why Big B’s Proteins outpace growing competition, sides are highlighted by Creamed Corn and thick-cut Onion Rings plus Sin City’s best BBQ Beans and Mac n’ Cheese.
Never forgetting Cornbread that seems to get better every time Dessert is a pick ‘em including Pecan or Apple Pie, Chocolate Cake or fresh made Banana Pudding as good as any one will find down South.

Sesame Seed Bagel
Described as a “Faith-based” business Abel’s Bagels opened late-2022 at 7150 S Durango Blvd Suite #130, owner Nick Pace of an organic juice bar in Roslyn New York hoping to bring “authentic” New York Bagels to Sin City along with other favorites from “Nook’s Organic.”
Inspired by the Bible’s Abel and Mr. Pace’s commitment to quality it is from 7am Monday through Saturday and 8am Sunday that Abel’s offers not only hand-rolled, boiled and baked rounds but also Sandwiches, Smoothies and Acai Bowls.
Sourcing good Ingredients and Coffee, high-gluten Flour the backbone of any proper Bagel, Abel’s collection includes all the favorites save for Egg while Cream Cheese is offered on its own or with up to three mix-ins ranging from Fruits or Vegetables to Macha and Peanut Butter.
Friendly in terms of service, though prone to selling out of top choices early on weekends, Bagels run $1.75 a piece with discounts by the dozen for specimens with a good skin and light crackle that quickly gives way to a chewy center that performs at nearly New York standards whether flecked in Seeds or dotted with Raisins.
