" Finding a nice spot to unwind while traveling can be a challenge, but Big T's was just what I needed! I sat outside on the patio, which was lovely. I ordered their sweet potato tacos, which had a unique twist and were quite delicious! The service team has a warm attitude that contributes to a welcoming atmosphere. However, the drink prices felt a bit steep, even if the drinks were exceptional. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and I can see why so many enjoy coming here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an amazing meal at Big T's! Their pecan margarita paired perfectly with our meal. I enjoyed the chicken enchiladas, and my partner had a taco platter. Portions were generous, and the price was right! However, I would have appreciated a little more spice in the enchiladas. Service was satisfactory; the staff was attentive, though I felt they could be a bit more engaging. In summary, I would recommend this spot for a chill night out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Big T's after hearing about it from locals and I understand why they love it! The atmosphere was lively, and I particularly enjoyed their tasty salsa. The tacos I had could have been a bit more flavorful, but I appreciated the creative options on the menu! Full of fun and vibrant environment made me feel right at home. Service was top-notch, attentive without being intrusive, so I’d be delighted to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Big T's Cantina! We stumbled upon this gem while exploring Boulder City and were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is lively and the decor feels vibrant. I decided to try the enchiladas, which were deliciously prepared, accompanied by perfectly seasoned rice and beans. I love how the menu offers a good range of vegan options as well! Our server was friendly, immediately making us feel at home. The margaritas here are a must-try; I had a classic lime one and it was refreshing. We ended up staying longer than planned just enjoying the ambiance. I highly recommend this place for a fun dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Big T's has a wonderful atmosphere and the decor gives it a joyful feel! On our visit, we enjoyed the birria tacos and spicy salsa. They were good, and we left satisfied; however, expecting more authenticity to showcase Mexican traditions in cooking. It felt more like Tex-Mex comfort food than the authentic flavors I was yearning for. Nonetheless, the service team was friendly and accommodating, and we had a great time overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Big T's through a friend's recommendation and was pleased to find such an upbeat restaurant! The margaritas are fantastic, made so well they almost stole the show. I tried their sweet potato tacos—amazing! The flavors were well-thought-out, but I wished they had a few more meat options. Service was fast and friendly, making for an enjoyable evening. I’ll be returning soon, eager to explore more of their inventive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am really surprised by Big T's! The atmosphere is alive and engaging, making it a fun spot to visit. I tried the enchiladas, but they were a bit off for me—they felt a tad bland. However, positive points go to the fresh chips and delicious salsa! The bartender was great and crafted wonderful drinks that complemented our meals nicely. I'd definitely give this place another try. " (*Curated Review*)
