Jaburritos plans to expand to the Strip with sushi burritos, salads, rice bowls, nachos and juices made to order. The menu features Jaburritos, wrapped in options such as seaweed paper or a tortilla, Jachos, built over corn or taro chips, or a Jabowl, featuring salad or rice. Individual proteins include spicy tuna, grilled steak, tofu, salmon and soft shell crab, or diners can opt for the "chef creations" combinations.

Virgil’s Real Barbecue joins the mix in the former F.A.M.E. space at The Linq Promenade in December. Parent company Alicart Restaurant Group, which also owns Carmine’s at the Forum Shops at Caesars, announced the restaurant last December, and it joins sister locations in New York City and at Atlantis in the Bahamas. Expect a 14,000-square-foot restaurant with live music nightly, private dining rooms seating up to 300 guests and three outdoor spaces, including a poolside patio at The Linq. Memphis pork ribs and chicken, Carolina pulled pork and Texas beef brisket make the menu. Virgil’s has an estimated construction budget of $2 million.
