We visited Tinoco's on First Friday, the downtown arts festival in Vegas which is partially within the same building as Tinoco's. This is the second time we have visited. We thought that they'd be on their best behavior for such an event centered around the restaurant but we were unimpressed by the food and service. The food is average at slightly inflated prices. The service was quite poor in that we sat for longer than customers should after first sitting down and then a waitress came over and asked if we had been helped yet. No service zones in a restaurant attempting to be upscale? After that things seemed to go smoothly until our dinner plates were taken away and a woman dropped the check off at our table. No offer of dessert or coffee. Nothing. When we asked about dessert the woman who dropped off the check took the check back and left to find the waitress who then rattled off four desserts (no menu) and didn't ask if we'd like coffee or anything else. Of course we just requested the check back and left a ten percent tip. Gratuity is to ensure prompt acceptable service. This definitely was not either.
Pros: Wine was good, adjacent to First Friday Arts Festival
Cons: Food average for price, service poor
