We popped in here between flights a few weeks ago. We had an hour to kill and decided to share a breakfast burrito. It was actually pretty good once we applied a liberal amount of hot sauce. I wasn't a fan of the chips, which were very dry and crispy. Tasted like salted cardboard.

My favorite part of the meal was my delicious Bloody Mary. Yes, it was only 7AM, but when you're in an airport, time doesn't matter.

Service was very friendly and efficient. A good place to stop in for a bite and a cocktail.

Overpriced, gross food that tastes like it came out of a toilet. Blech!

I believe it is true when they say flying is safer then driving. With all the advancements in aviation technology, I have even more faith, that statement is true. But is by some strange cosmic roll of the dice, I was to dine at DATG, get on a plane, then impact Terra Firma traveling at 600 knots, I would absolutely, positively not want this to be may last meal. Hell, I would rather take a Chex mix packet over this slop.

I take a certain pride in living in Las Vegas. I am actually proud of your ability to get millions of visitors in and out of Sin City to have fun and contribute to our local economy. It is with a heavy heart, I find that we offer those coming to and going away in the unsecured portion of McCarran International Airport this pig slop.

If I just arrived from parts unknown and have by passed what the individual terminals have to offer and am met with Don's as a dining alternative, this is a sad, sad, reflection of what our city has to offer.

If I am dining with a loved one prior to them punching out somewhere else in the country or world, it is absolutely vulgar this could be our last meal together.

Behind the facade of what appears to be a Tex Mex or Mexican style restaurant lays the cafeteria hell. After perusing the menu anything off the Latino menu was out of the question. Wanting to be safe, The GF (who was heading out of town) and I decided to share chicken finger and fries. Water was fluid to wash it down because charging over $3 for a fountain drink is just plain ole price gauging.

The chicken fingers took over 15 minutes to be served and when they did show up the fries were barely warm.

While waiting for the our "meal" I watched as the servers conducted themselves in a manner befitting the federal government. Imagine the attitude one would receive while standing in line at the Social Security office. Better yet.....Imagine if the TSA was serving your food! Rude, condescending, I watched one.. the order taker talked to a non english speaking traveller with ZERO compassion or empathy, while the traveler attempted to understand the establishment's menu.

Back to our order, the fingers where surrounded in a breading similar to that of the Carbonate Han Solo was encased in. As previously mentioned, the fries sucked. After watching other patrons plucking who knows what off their meals while making funny faces, I told the GF to stop eating because I did not want her married to a toilet while she made her trip across the country.

Dear McCarran International Airport and Clark County Department of Aviation,

We can do better this. Don Alejandro's Texan Grill is an embarrassment to our community. The location is prime and surely could do better to represent our town while they are either coming or going. Ditch the small town cafeteria fell for something sparkly and that won't turn your guts inside out. You will probably make even more money with a business who gives a damn about what they serve, including the manner in which they provide it.

In the end I earned a "Maverick" yelp badge. Though cool, it was my bad for not consorting yelp before entering. The "Mav" is earned by going against the grain and going someplace despite it's POOR RATING!

Sincerely,

Paul W.

Along the way to the security checkpoints, most travelers to McCarran Airport will almost always pass by this little Mexican gem of a restaurant. Its usually the one with the most people during rush hour and hard to miss with its Texan / Southwest rustic exterior.

Service is usually quick to greet and seat, even though there may be a small wait time of 5-10 minutes. Seating is vast but the one to two person tables far outweigh the group sized ones, understandably because its a stop for most travelers on the go.

When considering that most airport food is typically bland and overpriced, at least the food here is relatively edible, if not good on a hungry day. A lot of Tex-Mex goodies are here from enchiladas, flautas, various burritos, quesadilla appetizers and a sauced up juevos rancheros. Unfortunately, that's about as deep as the menu goes and variety doesn't seem to be their strong point. Prices can get a little steep when considering a small order of taquitos can run one as much as $9.

In the end, when considering the alternative fast food joints that exist in virtually all major airports, this place is not a bad place to settle for the mid-afternoon meal. Tex-Mex snobs should stay away or go with the flow here.

How can mess up on an omelette and potatoes? This place has awful food. My friends and I were starving and of course turned into the first food place we could find at the airport. What a bust. They completely forgot my friend's order, we waited a good while for our food even though there weren't many people in the place and the food was just gross.

I ordered the denver omelette and it came with some potatoes and a biscuit. I'm usually a huge fan of biscuits but not these ones. Everytime I tried to put butter on it, it completely fell apart. The potatoes had a funky taste and smell to it and the omelette (the most decent part of the meal) was meh. Not even the huge amounts of tapatio I poured onto it could save it from mediocrity.
