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!

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.
