- RROBERTvipLas Vegas •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAbsolutely stellar. I started with the turkey tamal, which was very hot (you've been warned), but amazingly delicious. The yellow chileajo with pork ribs was also very, very good. If you want complex Mexican sauces, rendered to utter perfection, this is definitely your place. I also thought the tortilla/salsa tasting station before actual seating was a wonderful, interesting and charming touch. Highly recommend.More infoTierra del solPrice: Expensive• Traditional Mexican• Oaxaca•4.5
