It’s been more than two years, but Wana Taco has reopened at Four Queens on Fremont Street.<\/p>\n
We have a soft spot in our heart for this taco stand, as its location makes it a perfect jumping-off point for Fremont Street shenanigans. Or possibly hijinks.<\/p>\nWana Taco originally opened in 2016. It reopened after a painful, years-long pause on August 5, 2022.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Wana Taco has been through a lot. It closed back in March 2020, when all the casinos in Las Vegas shut down due to the pandemic. Otherwise known as “The Dark Times.”<\/p>\n
Even when casinos reopened, Wana Taco stayed shuttered.<\/p>\n
Staffing challenges were the stated reason it took the offering so long to return.<\/p>\n
Now, Wana Taco is back and ready to serve up some hearty fare at a reasonable price in a spot with a great view of all the WTF for which Fremont Street is known.<\/p>\n
Here’s the new menu.<\/p>\nLife is full of decisions. Wana Taco basically has four.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Longtime Wana Taco fans (possibly just us) will be crushed to see the outlet no longer offers its beer-soaked hot dogs, some of the best in Las Vegas. The cookies are also out (you can still get them at Magnolia’s, the casino’s cafe).<\/p>\n
On the bright side, the excellent tacos, nachos and quesadillas are back, along with a popular, but weird, item: Frito Pie. It’s Fritos topped with chili, queso, pico de gallo and jalapenos.<\/p>\n
The Mexican Street Corn is new and the bigass pretzels are reliably good.<\/p>\n
Nothing fancy on the streamlined Wana Taco menu, but it’ll do the trick and won’t break the bank.<\/p>\n“TACO” is a handy acronym to evaluate anything you encounter on Fremont Street: Time, Amount, Color, Odor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Wana Taco at Four Queens is only open Thursday through Sunday for the moment.<\/p>\n
The taco restaurants sits at the east end of Four Queens, pretty much bumping up against the 3rd Street stage. If you’re a fan of peaceful dining, this isn’t that. If you like live music, you’ll enjoy lots of it inside Wana Taco.<\/p>\nYou will note that at no time during this story did we mention the incredible thing “taco” is slang for. It’s called maturity.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The din of the street (including the dipshits beating on pickle tubs), the adjacent stage and Viva Vision canopy all add to the flavor of the place.<\/p>\n
Having just opened, the all-new staff was a bit overwhelmed during our visit, so take it easy on them.<\/p>\n
As with other Four Queens restaurants, loyalty club members can use their points and dining credits at Wana Taco.<\/p>\n
It hurt our heart a little whenever we passed by the closed Wana Taco space. It always felt like a symbol of Las Vegas not quite being back to its old self.<\/p>\n
It’s great to see Wana Taco open again, and it’s a perfect fit for the value-driven Fremont Street district. There’s a time and place for fine dining, but sometimes you just need a thruple of filling tacos, a bag of chips and a beverage that doesn’t cost $14. (If you’re craving a hot dog, you can always get one at American Coney at The D, next door.)<\/p>\n
