Sometimes the best things to do in Nevada are activities but enjoying the culture and cuisine. While visiting Lake Tahoe and enjoying the many activities from hiking, boating, parasailing, fishing and more you will likely work up an appetite. You could settle for fast food or another nationwide chain restaurant or you do as the local’s do – dine at a unique and truly local establishment. T’s Mesquite Rotisserie is just one of those opportunities.
Featuring Fire roasted chicken, beef & pork options plus Huge tacos & burritos, T’s Mesquite Rotisserie may have an unassuming and humble exterior that might make you want to drive on by, but as the old saying goes, Never Judge A Restaurant By It’s Curb Appeal. (Okay, that may not be the official saying but it should be a regular version.) Serving lunch and dinner, T’s is open seven days a week, normally from 11:00AM to 8:00PM.
While the main dishes include their famous tacos & burritos, this is not just another taqueria. Featuring a selection of rotisserie beef, pork and chicken main meals, the menu also contains sides to compliment any meal. Some side options include: marinated cucumber salad, potato salad, cole slaw, black beans and Spanish rice. Of course fresh chips with salsa or guacamole is a pre-dining appetizer that is strongly recommended. A kids selection and soft drinks are available. Beer and wine are only available for dining in. The setting and the menu may not be gourmet but you will be pleasantly surprised and satisfyingly fed when you leave.
Many eateries in tourist destinations are automatically expensive but T’s Mesquite Rotisserie bucks the trend with reasonable prices and quality service. The atmosphere is casual and prefect for relaxing after a long day traveling or sightseeing. Be advised that to help keep prices down, they do not accept credit cards or out of the area checks. Cash or local checks only. Reservations are not required but on the normal busy dining out nights or if you have a larger party, it might be handy to call ahead and check on seating or even to go options.
So for a truly local and memorable experience, T’s Mesquite Rotisserie can provide sandwiches for a light lunch to a full meal to finish the day.
