Key Points:
- La Salsa Cantina’s breakfast deal comes with 2 eggs, a choice of meat, SW potatoes, and a tortilla for $9.99 on weekends and $6.99 on weekdays.
- Portion size was underwhelming, so big eaters may want to look elsewhere.
- Food quality was “Fine”, making this a decent option for stretching your vacation budget.
It’s no secret. Things in Las Vegas, and around the country for that matter, are getting more and more expensive by the day.
While “loss leader” food deals used to be plentiful in Vegas, cheap places to eat on the Strip are now few and far between.
Fortunately for value-seekers, the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood is still home to several solid meal deals, including a $5.99 breakfast at Blondies, a $5.99 burger & fries basket at Ketchup, and the focus of this review – a $6.99 breakfast deal at La Salsa Cantina.
The price jumps to $9.99 on the weekends.
I thought it would be fun to swing in, to show you what you get for your money, along with my opinion on whether or not it’s worth it.
The Breakfast Deal
The deal entitles guests to:
- 2 eggs any style
- Choice of ham, bacon, or sausage
- Choice of corn or flour tortilla
- Southwest potatoes
I opted for sausage, 2 eggs over easy, and added a coffee to the order because, if you must ask, I was hungover.
Notably, they also serve a 99-cent bloody mary, or bottomless mimosas for $18.99 as well… but I wasn’t ready to commit to that quite yet.
I placed my order and received my plate of food within 3 minutes, suggesting the components are already prepped in the back, under a warmer.
Here’s what she looked like:
The Verdict – Is La Salsa Cantina’s Breakfast Worth Snagging?
For the price, the meal was “fine”.
I wouldn’t describe anything on the plate as anything more than lukewarm, and it was certainly edible, although this isn’t a meal that is going to blow you away. Like, at all.
Portion sizes were small, so big eaters should likely avoid the deal altogether and opt for something more substantial from the get-go.
I’m not a huge eater, but still had room in the ole’ gullet to wander across the hallway to eat a second breakfast deal offered at Blondies.
I didn’t necessarily need a second breakfast, but I have been wanting to review that offering as well.
The coffee was disappointing. It was chalky and left a fine coating of dust on the sides of the mug, almost as if it was a poorly mixed instant option.
All in all, this meal deal could be a good option for value seekers, provided you don’t have a massive appetite and can keep your expectations in check.
If you’re looking for ways to save money in Vegas, give it a shot.
I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.
