*Saturday nights their bar and lounge area turns into a slice of Miami with great live music and a DJ, you will forget that you are in a restaurant lounge in the Las Vegas desert.

*Call for reservations way ahead of time, even during the planning of this trip.

*Chica’s portions are shareable appetizer sizes, so start with a few dishes from each of their options. I would suggest getting a Cuban sandwich, chicken and waffles, shrimp tacos, and a few side dishes to create a nice variety of food.

*They have a full bar and “for the table” drinks which serve up to 8 people. The mezcal punch bowl will definitely get the party started.

*When it is time for dessert, ask your server about the “Flaming Skull”, its table-side presentation that will surely impress you.

*It's an easy walk to XS afterwards if you have dinner, otherwise make a day out of it for brunch!
