"Transilvania Bar & Bistro on Tropicana—such a cool spot with real Romanian food! Loved the “salata de vinete” super smoky, creamy! The “mici” sausages were juicy, perfectly grilled, and packed with flavor! Mark’s still obsessed with the meatball soup—warm, hearty broth with tender meatballs. Total comfort food! ❤️🇷🇴 Cozy place, great people! ❤️ Definitely a hidden gem—go check it out!"

"All I can say is Wow. An absolute hidden gem. We are visiting from Toronto and this has been the best meal in Vegas during our 4 day visit. The restaurant has been recently purchased by a Romanian family. Our host Bobby and his family offer the kind of service you can only find at a fine dining establishment. The restaurant is very well decorated and the seating is extremely comfortable. You are made to feel like family and not just sitting at a restaurant. Then there is the food. Made from scratch and with love from the fresh bread to the chocolate cake. We ordered the cabbage rolls and they were the best I ever had. Being Russian that says a lot. The prices are more than reasonable and you will pay a fraction of what you pay on the strip for a really great meal. We will definitely come back. Although we may come back on a weekend to enjoy the live music. Thank you for making our trip even that much more memorable and the great hospitality."

"My girlfriend and I found this spot after trying several around the area and this is hands down our favorite. Everything is made authentically from scratch and the portion sizes are great and filling. Everything is so fresh and made to order. We came back to back days! Also the prices are affordable. If anyone deserves their respect or love, it is this place. You won’t be disappointed."

"Was in town for a lowrider hop event and just wanted to grab some breakfast for the team to start the day! Our first option was just crazy packed, did a Google maps search for something in the area and El Zarape came up and it was a 5 minute drive, let's do this! Nice little spot with that old school vibe, ordered like 10 breakfast burritos and the staff was kind enough to cut them in half and wrap them for us to take them to go. I was a bit hungry so I grabbed a half ham burrito and took that first bite, man.... that melted in my mouth tasti g so delicious!! 2 of my team members also decided to eat and after the first bite my boy is like "Man! This is really good!" We shared a few laughs with the staff before we headed back to our event and a few had asked where we got the burritos and how good the food was! A few Vegas locals also asked us and will said they will be stopping in to try other menu items!! I myself am looking forward to my next visit and will be recommending El Zarape to everyone!"
