Not so tasty, not so great  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

This is not a place for a family dining. With the statue of a she devil at the top of the building it is not a suprise that i did not like this place. There is a bar in the middle of the restaurant and another bar off to the side that serves large magaritas.

Our table was very close to the bar. People were standing too close by as we tried to eat our food. Our waitress was very weird and the food lack flavor. The nachos were really big but I was disappointed because the cheese was so thick and stiff that all the chips were stuck together!

The next time I am in Vegas I will make sure to stay far away!

Unique Mexican food on the Vegas Strip  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

On our first night stay at the Monte Carlo, we decided to pick a restaurant in the hotel. We entered Diablo's through the hotel side which was very different than the outside view the hotel. It looked like a casual dining restaurant but we soon felt like we were decending to a dungeon and found out it was more of a bar. There is a huge bar in the center of the restaurant, taking up most of the space and a side bar for Margaritas.

There was a 30 minute wait so we decided to stand outside since there was no seating area. The hostess was not friendly.

The place is a bit chaotic. We finally were seated and our waiter seemed a bit spacey or maybe drunk. Our table was very close to the bar and people were hanging around and over us as we were eating. We ordered the chicken nachos, empanatas and taquitos. They were a bit skimpy on the empanatas and taquitos but the Chicken nachos was more for your money.

PROS: Good place for happy hour.
CONS: Margaritas are expensive and there is not a great variety on the menu.

I would go back just for the nachos.

Were there servers here? 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I travel almost everywhere on business by myself - so I get a different taste of life than the couples and groups. I feel you can really tell what a restaurant is going to be like given the service you receive as a single diner. Most places, you can expect to be a little slower, or faster, but you won't get the attention a group would. Understandable.

Here - I was asked if I would mind sitting at a high table in the bar area because the dinner rush was going to happen soon. It was 530- but whatever. I will make them as happy as I can. I sat for 30 minutes before I went back to the hostess and asked for a server. She brought me one drink and disappeared for another 30 before I left a couple bucks on the table and walked. I was so hungry I could have eaten a horse, I'm Central Time, so it was 630 when I sat and by 730 I hadn't even been able to lick the salt off a chip.

The food looked and smelled wonderful. The drink the bartender made was super. Try their frozen signature drinks... Tasty tasty tasty. Service... ick.

Pros: Great atmosphere. Great place to get the party started or sit in the back with a date.
Cons: Service around the bar was non existant.

Disappointed 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

Arrived in Vegas Wed night excited about this place. Had a 30 min wait had 1 drink at the bar drinks were good. The food i had, the chicken taco's very dry and flour tortilla was hard. Wife had fish taco's said they were ok. The chips were great waitress did a good job. For drinks and chips good place Dinner i would skip. Total bill before tip $ 54.00 should be better for that price.

Pros: Chips and Drinks
Cons: Food and price

Good margaritas, great vibe, good food 4 Star Rating - Very good

We ate lunch here because we got coupons. We were seated by an open window on a beatiful day. I asked the server if drinks were included in the 15% off coupon. I was surprised when he said yes. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas which were served with glasses rimmed with crushed red pepper and salt. When I looked at the pitcher, I was disappointed. It looked small. However, when we were done with the pitcher, we were pretty happy. The food was really good and came out fast. Service was excellent. We told our server that if he took care of us, we would take care of him. He was friendly and fast. I wanted a plastic Diablo cup that could only be purchased with a $20 drink. He hooked us up and we tipped him well. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a fun laid-back atmosphere.

Pros: Good margaritas, good service
Cons: Wait can be long

great place to party on the strip 4 Star Rating - Very good

It's a poppin' bar with no cover on the strip. I've seen live bands here, some okay, some not so great, but it's still a rockin' atmosphere any night. Usually they have deejays. Really feels like being on spring break. It's got a nice younger crowd for the most part, and that's right up my alley. Music is kind of loud, but I've only been there at night, so I can't really comment on what it's like during the day. At night it's a party atmosphere with tequila girls and gogo dancers. The food is great, service is on par, and I really can't complain about the ice cold beers and delicious margaritas. Places on the strip are known to be skimpy on their alcohol content, but not this place. I give it my two thumbs up!

Best Margartias, Nachos, and free entertainment on the Strip 5 Star Rating - World class

Diablos atmosphere is fun and edgy. The wait staff is friendly, professional, yet fun. The inside decor makes you feel like you just stepped off the Las Vegas strip and into a spring break college hang out in Cabo San Lucas. The food is excellent and the service is quick. I love their college night on Thursdays. They always have some kind of fun and quirky event and there are people there that hand out free drink passes. All in all it's a great place to dine, drink, and hang out with friends!

Pros: Atmoshphere, location, tasty food, entertainment
Cons: none
