Chipotlee! Las Vegas TikTok Star Keith Lee Gets Fast Food Honor

Author Shawn Tempesta

You may remember the story of Frankenson’s Pizza. They were down on their luck, trying to get any business whatsoever. They asked TikTok foodies if they’d do a story on them, and they were being told it’d cost them thousands. Then Keith Lee entered the picture, who did an honest – and glowing – review for free. The restaurant is still slammed several weeks later.

Keith Lee was a TikTok food creator way before being thrust into the spotlight for his Frankenson’s review. His infectious personality and honesty has helped propel his TikTok account to nearly 11 million followers!

Creator Alexis Frost posted a “hack” that you could order at Chipotle that involves putting fajita veggies in a beef quesadilla. Then Keith Lee – prior to his Frankenson’s fame – posted his reaction to trying the hack.

The combination ended up going viral with millions watching the culinary collaboration. That leads us to what happened with Keith this week.

Chipotle, in their thanks for giving them some viral love (and probably a ton of business as well), brought Keith, blindfolded, to their newest location at Las Vegas Boulevard and Warm Springs Road. The sign doesn’t read Chipotle… but Chipoltee! At least until Sunday.

Plus, the “Fajita Quesadilla” hack is getting added to the menu on the Chipotle app! Does it get any cooler than that?! Yes, it does.

Keith Lee gets another surprise…

Frank, the owner of Frankenson’s Pizza, swung by to support Keith and buy a bunch of quesadillas for his massive staff. Ever since Keith did his Frankenson’s review, Frank’s been knee deep in business, going from 4 employees to over two dozen! All thanks to Keith’s review (and of course Frank’s great food).

So, congrats to one of the “good guys” of social media! If you’ll excuse us, we are going to check out this Fajita Quesadilla because it sounds bomb.

8 Best Mexican Restaurants In East Las Vegas

East Las Vegas is a central hub for all things flavor. If you live in the 89101, 89015, 89121 or anywhere around that area you know what we’re talking about.

Summerlin is cool and Henderson is nice but East Las Vegas is really where heart, love and soul come into play. Many outsiders see run down streets and old buildings but behind the cosmetic imperfections lives a part of the city that thrives on culture. A large part of the Latin X community live on the east side which sources family recipes and hidden gems.

The restaurants in the area know how to cook up a mean plate of food. From carnitas tacos, flautas el paso, carne asada and some of the most refreshing aguas frescas. What’s also impressive is the amount of food that these restaurants serve. They don’t skimp on the meats or sides.

Not all but many of the restaurants stay open late catering for those night time hunger cravings. Check local listing times for any updates or changes.

Customers are valued which is why these restaurants stay in business and have continued their success on the east side. We also want to mention that many of the places listed are fair with their prices. It won’t cost a whole pay check to eat at any of these restaurants.

Vegas is one of those cities where you can drive past a business without ever realizing who or what they’re about. Residents of the area understand the struggle of getting their name out there for the masses.

Each of the Mexican restaurants below were rated on Google with a 4.2+ in star ratings. Each of the eateries that were chosen have at least 200 or more reviews.

We wanted to highlight the businesses below that are known for making people smile. We hope you enjoy.
