The legalization of marijuana in Nevada changed everything. There are now dispensaries popping up all over the Las Vegas Valley, offering a wide variety of cannabis products. One of the most popular destinations in Las Vegas for both tourists and locals is Planet 13, which features not only a large and accommodating dispensary, but an entire entertainment complex. A huge part of this complex is the restaurant Trece, and its already made a huge splash in a very short amount of time. One meal here and youll understand why.

The greenhouse dining area of Trece is expansive, allowing for easy social distancing while you dine. Its bright, colorful and theres plenty of people watching to be had. Executive chef Manny Sanchez keeps his menu lively and fresh, focusing mostly on Mexican cuisine, but branching out to other fun, flavorful areas. Dont forget to accompany your meal with a beer from the restaurants 24 available taps.

Whether youre vegetarian or carnivore, theres something for everyone at Trece. Starters are so much funeveryone will enjoy the hummus plate, which does not skimp on the creamy, house-made chickpea dip. Its served with some truly attractively presented seasonal veggies and garlic flatbread. Theres so much here its practically a meal. Speaking of which the perfectly crispy carne asada fries are irresistible, liberally ladled with cheese sauce, guacamole, sour cream and ribeye cut. Theyre listed under shareables, but you may want this all to yourself. Cant say we blame you.

The signature Mexican dishes include Flaming Fajitas, arriving at your table while still sizzling with sauted bell peppers and onions, accompanied with corn tortillas, pico de gallo and red sauce. Wait until you see the steamed corn masa house tamaleits unlike any youve ever seen, served round and thick and smothered with green or red salsa, Oaxaca cheese, Mexican sour cream and queso fresco.
