Rachel’s Kitchen, Local Favorite, 3330 S. Hualapai Way:
Their tagline reads “Wholesome Food, Delicious Recipes.” I think it’s their mission statement, too, one they follow with every gourmet creation.
Their menu offers a creative, extensive breakfast list, including “protein lover’s scramble” and “create your own omelet,” goat cheese, gruyere cheese, zucchini, yellow squash, fresh-squeezed juices, freshly-baked muffins & scones; plus salads, pasta, burgers, gourmet sandwiches, wraps, smoothies, soup, and a kid’s section that’s “just the right amount for kids.” And I love this – you can order breakfast any time they are open. They say genius writes its own rules.
I eat here at least three times a week. I love their breakfast burrito, smoked turkey & avocado sandwich, 1/3 cheeseburger, tomato roasted red pepper soup, sweet greens drink (kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, apple, lemon & ginger root), and energizer drink (beets, apples, carrots, lemon & ginger root).
Their food is nutritious and scrumptious, what more could one ask for? How about this: the staff at the location I visit are industrious, charismatic, and carry beaming smiles every day. I think they’ve been eating their own food. Even the customers I see there look glowing and fit – runners, Bikram yoga practitioners, slim businessmen & businesswomen, happy moms and happy children. The vivid colors and décor also feel good; tis a cheerful, artistic, casual place. If you look at their snappy and bright website (link below) you will find this as well. Or visit their Facebook page, popping with all kinds of culinary news, pictures, menu ideas, and community events.
They have four locations on the west side of Vegas, with one café in Henderson. I’ve listed below the one I frequent.
Monday – Saturday 7am-7pm

I loved Rachel’s on the first visit. Great menu, terrific atmosphere, wonderful healthy and just plain yummy options…but what happened? I want to continue to love Rachel’s, I’ve gone back 4 times after my bad experiences, hoping it was a fluke.
I walk into the GVR location and I’m ignored while 4 staff members stock straws and clean, glancing at me like they’ll get to me when they’re done with the more important work. The Hualapai location? No better. Both locations make me feel like I’m at El Pollo Loco, staff isn’t speaking English to one another, 7 – 8 people running around and 5 customers dining and being ignored. With each meal they forget to make my green juice, so after my meal, I march to the cash register to have it removed from the bill. I challenge anyone to order scrambled eggs and not them get crumbly, overcooked and pan-scorched. *Sigh* Please fix. I’m trying to be a Rachel’s fan, but I’m staying away for a while.
Hi Max, I appreciate your taking the time to comment. Sounds like you had some rough experiences! Sorry. I’ve always had pretty awesome experiences. I will definitely share this with the staff at Hualapai and the owner of Rachel’s. I’m meeting with the owner soon for a video shoot at that location. Your frustrations will be heard. Thanks, Brendan
