Tacone Flavor Grill Las Vegas Review

LAS VEGAS | Saturday, September 23, 2006

Although I put this review in the category of "fast food", Tacone's preferred description is "quick-service gourmet franchise"�and we quickly found out that it was a far cry from what we normally associate with "fast food". Located in The District (a chic, outdoor shopping center in Henderson, a town just outside Las Vegas), Tacone quickly filled up when the doors opened for lunch, and people of all ages enjoyed the food and company on the sidewalk tables. We weren't sure where we'd like to stop for a bite to eat as we walked along the manicured sidewalks by fun shops like West Elm, White House Black Market, Sharper Image, and Anthropologie, but we were stopped in front of Tacone by the manager who stood outside to give samples and promote this new franchise. One of the fastest growing franchises currently in America, Tacone boasts an unique array of salads, sandwiches, wraps and smoothies�all with fun ingredients not normally seen together.

The sample we tried outside was of the famous sweet potato fries, which are dipped in a creamy, fruity sauce. The manager could not have been any nicer�patiently telling us about the menu and preparation of food, as well as bringing out complimentary chips to our table! We ordered a vegetarian wrap with a grilled variety of veggies, beans, feta, and balsamic vinaigrette. The name "Flavor Grill" does not disappoint with the wide variety of grilled sandwiches, grilled wraps, grill-plates (including vegetables, seafood, and chicken), and quesadillas. Flavors are combined with fresh ingredients from caramelized onions, cilantro, and artichoke pesto, to jasmine rice, Thai peanut sauce, and mango salsa. Don't miss the table of about 10 unique dips to add to your platter, from a spicy apple butter and herbed oil, to a creamy Tex-Mex ranch and sweet hot sauce. Finish your meal with a dessert like homemade brownies or fruit salad, or a delightfully refreshing smoothie like the Pink Flamingo, with bananas, mango, strawberries, passion fruit, guava, orange, and pineapple! Open 10:30am - 9pm daily (Sun until 7pm), this restaurant is a nice stop during a day of leisure shopping in The District. Most plates are around $7, but we found that the main dishes were big enough to share!
