When Saturday Night Live and Bad Bunny recreated El Chavo del Ocho in an unforgettable sketch, millions around the world felt a wave of nostalgia. In Las Vegas, La Vecindad del Chavo brings that same laughter, color, and community to life, every day, through authentic Mexican food and the neighborly spirit of la vecindad.
From NBC’s Stage to Our Neighborhood 🇲🇽✨
In October 2025, Bad Bunny hosted SNL and transformed Studio 8H into a Mexican courtyard straight out of El Chavo del Ocho. Wearing Chavo’s striped shirt and hat, he and the cast, including Marcello Hernández as El Chavo, recreated our favorite characters like Doña Florinda and Don Ramón.
The skit wasn’t just funny, it was a tribute. It showed how El Chavo’s humor and heart transcend language and time.
That same feeling lives right here in Las Vegas at La Vecindad del Chavo, where you can taste, see, and feel everything that skit celebrated.

That same spirit inspired our restaurant’s name and mission: La Vecindad del Chavo.
Step inside and you’ll find colorful murals, laughter at every table, and plates full of authentic flavor; the kind that makes you smile before the first bite.
