We were hungry and looking for a Jack in the Box. Never really found it because my friend saw the Fausto's sign and shouted "Fausto's go Fausto's!!!". I've never heard of them before but must be good to shout it out like that. It was like any other Mexican restaurant like Roberto's, Don Tortaco, etc, which I do enjoy, cheap, fast, very filling, and perfect when drinking or recovering. We ordered a few burritos. Being only about $5 you can't go wrong. The carne asada burrito was my choice just because I don't think I could've ate an entire plate of nachos. It was satisfying and did the spot, delicious and filling definitely. I saw a sign for menudo and being a chilly Friday night I wanted some but it was only made on Sat and Sun, so maybe next time. They are clean, fast, and reliable. If you're feeling like Mexican, Fausto's is good especially if its the nearest Mexican around you. read more

It did the trick, seemed real authentic to me because the beans were creamy and a soft brown/whitish color. The plate was full with my 2 cheese enchiladas, beans and rice I really was enjoying it until the lady started vacuuming during my meal. I wish she hadn't done that. I was enjoying the TV and the sights of the other patrons and here comes this lady with a vacuum besides I don't think that is the most healthy thing to do while people are eating, I could be wrong. Good food but overall experience, ahhh I'd go somewhere else with no bother. read more

Consistently just solid food, I have been coming here for about 15 years and it is solid. Try a breakfast burrito and see what you get at a great price point, also try their Shrimp cocktail. Friendly neighborhood place, solid food and at a fantastic price! read more

Every time I'm in Vegas I come back for a amazing 10$ shrimp cocktail with huge shrimp and avocado! Its the best ! They actually give you about 10-12 shrimps and comes with crackers! Also I love the Chile relleno burrito without veggies or rice or sauce just ask for it with beans and it's the bomb ! read more

Fausto's Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Aimlessly driving down Eastern looking for a place to find something for dinner that would please the entire fam is not always easy. We roll right by sin city sushi and then passed cafe Rio and just keep on truckin... At this point we all started getting to the point of being "Hangry" (so hungry you are angry)... so i made the executive decision to start searching parking lots for places that we have never been. After all, we must find new places to yelp about. After the third parking lot the pink fluorescent lighting of Faustos caught our attention.. Yes a little Roberto'esque but we figured, "Why not?" Unlike many of the other places I have reviewed lately this little joint was packed.... You have the Indian family to my left getting down on a huge plate of chicken nachos and the group of mid twenty couples sitting in the corner eating this stuff family style like they are at a Mexican buca di beppo. I have never walked into a small place like this and have to stake claim on the last table left to sit in. After we put our order in I noticed they have a cafeteria type serving cart in the middle of the room that has the salsas and pickled jalapenos and all the fix-ins.... Only problem was that the place was so busy I could barely get to it. About 10 minutes later our grub had arrived, i had ordered my own plate of carne asada nachos and was amazed at the size of this thing.. the meat was great and perfectly seasoned the salsa was fresh and well worth the 2 arm wrestling and thumb war matches I had to survive to get to the salsa cart. This was a pleasant surprise when you look at how we ended up here. The reason why i took one star away was the tacky interior design.. Obviously i am not expecting some Mexican ultra-lounge but the pink walls with crooked pictures could be updated just a little. I would recommend the food if you are looking for something quick to eat. Be prepared to leave full and with a box because the portions are huge.. Enjoy!! read more

I loathe Panda Express - my family's favorite fast food joint. I wanted something else while they ate next door, so I got Fausto's to go last night (10/1/11) around 7 PM. I got the lengua (beef tongue) combination plate, no beans, with corn tortillas for $7.50. There's enough food for at least two adults and a kid. I've already gotten two meals out of it, and I still have leftovers. Was it the best lengua I've had? No. Not by a long shot. If you're in the mood for quick and cheap Mexican food and are not into Roberto's, I'd say this is a decent choice but isn't something I'd crave. read more

This blows Roberto's taco shop or of the water, I thought it tasted much better and it was seasoned well. My new favorite thing in the works is the Nevada Burrito. It came with fries, carne asada, cheese & sour cream for $5.75. You can't beat that price for how juicy & cheesy it was. So good. Great staff, very clean when we walked in around 1 PM on a Monday. I had to eat before going to Desert Radiology up the street. I will be back! :) read more

Fausto's Mexican Grill - They have all sorts of Breakfast burritos too. Mm. - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

This place is like an authentic mexican fast food place. Now they do have lot of options beyond your basic burritos and tacos. Rice and beans are usually part of any combo plates you get. I didn't get to try any of the drinks there but i did see the basic soda fountain. Now if your coming here on your lunch break I suggest calling your order in just because it seems to take awhile especially if they are busy. They do have a salsa bar if you would like to some salsa,limes or jalepenos to go. I always like to get a torta de pastor (mexican sandwhich with marianted pork) but this last time I got 2 ceviche tostadas. It had alot of imitation crab and barely any shrimp. Let's just say it wasn't alot in general for the size of the tostada. So I'll be sticking with my usual. read more

Fausto's Mexican Grill - Lunch time! - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Very disgusting. The meat is dry. Doesn't have any good taste found a piece of hair in my food nasty.

Let me preface this review by saying that I have grown up in orange county and san diego with a plethora of great Mexican food. I came to Fausto's because I had been thinking about Mexican food for a while. I had just moved to the area and heard that this was the best Mexican around. After placing my order for a carne asada breakfast burrito, I took a peek at the salsa bar. I must say that it was fairly disappointing...They did not have any pico de gallo which was a bummer and the other sauces looked meh. When I got my burrito, it was so.... small (thats what she said). I expected a little bit more in portion size. In addition, the carne asada was not what I expected. Rather than having a distinct beefy taste, it had the texture/taste of the sausage toppings on a pizza. It tasted like beef, but a little bit off. I will try this place a few more times to see if it improves. read more

Overall, pretty good value for the price! They have an extensive menu so ordering the right thing here is key to good experience. Giving a 3/5 for now until I try more menu items. I ordered a super chile verde burrito, but the guy taking my order misheard and gave me a normal burrito (and charged the $6 price, so they didn't mischarge me phew). Should have been a warning when he asked the cooks if they had any chile verde ... because the meat unfortunately was super salty. Also, since it was only rice/beans/ and the chile verde meat, there was nothing to offset the saltiness, so didn't manage to eat more than about half of it. :( The Chicken taco salad with small drink special-$7.50 - is pretty good deal and the portion is massive. Not a huge fan of the less thick guac but the chicken itself was pretty solid and if you're into crispy hard taco shells, it's thick and quite good! Last tips: -Salsa Mexicana, sour cream, cheese, and guacamole can be added for $1 each. Worth it for the burritos imo. -Free salsa bar and the pickled vegetables. They have plastic bags on the side if u want to take to go too! - they charge a small additional fee for using credit cards, so best to bring /pay with cash!! read more

Great food I go at least once a week. I love their grilled chicken burritos. Great food and friendly staff.

I just started eating at this food chain and I have to say it's really great!! This location has such friendly staff, and i'm also satisfied with how cleanly it is. I love how i'm always happy with my food. They always get my order right the first time, no complaints! (: read more

ive been going to this place since i was in high school and its always been my go to. the breakfast burritos are large and can last me two meals. the chimis are my current favorite. eat here cuz you know its local authentic and delicious! read more

I'm giving one star because I can't give zero. The food at this location is usually good but they are not consistent. Especially the fish burrito. The low rating is due to the total lack of customer service. My fiancée was given a fish burrito where the fish was over done and tasted like the oil was old. When a replacement was requested the counter people never once apologized or made any attempt to show professionalism or pride in their food. The cashier and the cook were both very rude and basically just gave us attitude and looks and proceeded to make the same substandard crust old burrito . Probably won't be back. It's a shame too because we used to enjoy Fausto's after church often. read more

after spending a few days at the grand canyon and living off Dennys I was dying for something ethnic to eat. So on my way to vegas i bust out the yelp app on my phone and start looking for places close to where I am. I just randomly picked Faustos from the list. Mexican food sounded good and I was dying to eat something decent. I was pretty happy with the food here. sure a lot of it had to do with not eating anything worth wild for the past 3 days. I thought the quality was pretty good. Decent mexican food in a casual enviroment. I am happy I stopped here to eat. If I'm ever in the area again i would come back for sure. read more

My boyfriend & I have been coming here for years and never once a bad experience, we love it here & it is one of our go to places!

Okay, went back to this restaurant after a couple months and it was back to the way it was before - great food value, clean, customer service back on point. We must've entered into an alternate universe during the previous visit - review below - just weird. ---------------------- Uh-oh... Was there a recent change of ownership? This place was our fave go-to Mexican restaurant - great value for great food. Yesterday we went after a couple of months of not going and saw several things that point to different ownership. First, we did not recognize the staff and the one woman who took our order seemed either pissed off for some reason or in pain. She took my order several feet from the counter which confused me at the same time she was kinda snarling. Second, the place was filthy. Usually, we see staff constantly cleaning. Third and the saddest part, the food was sub-par. The taquitos were about 2/3's the size of what I'm used to and barely edible. My hubby's breakfast burrito had egg shells in it. Since it was a holiday weekend we're hoping the owners/staff we're used to were maybe on vacation. We decided to try another time but if it's more of the same - we will no longer be Fausto fans. read more

Small little restaurant with a full menu and a salsa bar. They have specials for certain days where the prices are alot cheaper, but what I order is never on sale. However, to me their prices are already pretty low. The carne asada burrito was excellent. You get a good portion size that will leave you stuffed. read more

They have the potential to be great, but their meat quality is not there. My carne asada tacos had a great deal of gristle. That is just not appetizing. read more

This is probably one of the tastiest and most complete menus of any take-out Mexican restaurant in the Las Vegas area. Fausto's features something that Roberto's does not: Sopas, a thick, delicious, golden deep-fried corn cake topped with your choice of meat (best with grilled chicken, carne asada, el pastor or even chili relleno!) then topped with cheese & lettuce. $5.00 - 6.00 each and SO good! read more

I had the chili rellano and my husband the grilled chicken burrito. We thought they were both very good and the rice and beans were delicious. We were not fans of their famous carne asada fries, but their chips are perfect! The chips were light but enough strength to hold together while you dipped them in their beans! Love the carrots and jalapeño bar, both were pickled all the way through, sour but yummy! My husband asked if we can have it again the very next day, must have left a great impression. The staff was nice and answered all our questions. read more

Food is excellent but some employees are straight up RUDE. Especially the woman that works days at the Horizon Ridge locations I always order carne asada nachos with 4 red salsas . This girl refused and wanted to charge me extra for more Salsa like she's the owner and it comes Out of her paycheck! I will Stop patronizing this establishment if this BS Continues. I've been a Customer ever since they opened for many years and this is the crap I get... is if the aggregation is worth it at this point. This Employee needs to go she's ALWAYS been a Raging B$&@h‼ read more

I tried the California burrito. The taste isn't up to par like San Diego(where it originates) but it's better than Roberto's. I would come here again if I'm in the mood for a California burritos. read more

Normal fast food mexican (our usual spot) Too bad, they forgot a grilled chicken Questa in our to go order. I called and they took down my number to get a replacement on another date. I showed up to place an order today and they refused to throw in the quesadia they owed me. They lost the order I was about to place and a frequent customer (rude). Too bad read more

Walked in the place smelled like it had been freshly cleaned. No wait time, food was done in 5 minute... food was way better than Roberto's

I was a regular at another Fausto's location and was excited to see this location near our house. My hubby had never been and it was a hard sell to convince him that this place is better than Roberto's....but the food speaks for itself and he was quickly on board. This is our taco shop of choice - the only thing that would make it better would be if they had a drive thru. Everything is delicious - our favorites are the Nevada burrito (what a California burrito is in California) and the Henderson burrito (chicken). Their beans are tasty, which is always important. The service is friendly and fast and we can always depend on Fausto's for a quick and cheap meal! They also offer a Taco Tuesday special on chicken tacos - $1 each, which is fantastic!! read more

Employees were rude, we were not greeted upon entering the restaurant or walking up to the register. They didn't speak a word to us other than "beef or chicken?" When ordering quesadillas. However, as soon as a regular walked in he was greeted like he was the president of the United States! Food wasn't great either. Will not be returning. read more

Just ate here the lady in the front was really disrespectful and the food was horrible and there was a hair in my cocktail and the asada fries as well I asked for it to be remade and they refused so I asked for my money back and they refused as well they kept talking bad about us in Spanish with there cook overall terrible service and really rude never eating here again read more

This place is tremendously bad. It's the worst Mexican food I've ever had in my life. No question. My wife ordered a carnitas burrito. The pork was awful. It was overcooked, spongy and slightly green. Yuck!! I ordered the beef burrito and cheese enchilada. The beef was undercooked and tasteless. The rice was terrible. The cheese enchilada was bland, and the red sauce tasted like wallpaper paste. Bland as heck and too thick. The beans were decent, but not enough to get two stars even. Many better places in Vegas to eat Mexican food. Avoid this place at all costs. I don't get the positive reviews. It's just terrible. Never again. read more

Sometimes the craving for what I believe hands down is the best "fast food" carne asada burrito in the valley is more than I can stand. I try to resist because I know that I will load it up with cheese, sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo. Aside from the pico and avocado I know that everything in large quantities is going to put a hurting on me. When I do get around to indulging myself, I go to Fausto's. Doesn't matter what location be it Horizon & College or Horizon Ridge & Eastern they both taste great! The only difference is that the Horizon location can be an absolute madhouse while the Horizon Ridge location is always quite when I go. The carne asada is always tender. And while my gag reflex has been tested by pieces of grizzle at Robertos, I can based upon experience, confidently chow on a Fausto's burrito as I have yet to find anything nasty in it. Another comfort is that it is not laden with greasy residue it's cooked in and will not blow out the bottom of the burrito as you approach the end of it. Nor will it leak through the wrapper all over your shirt. When I am in the carne asada feeding frenzy state of mind I can't seem to branch out to the other awesome looking combination plates they sell. I digress. I have had the carne asada fries which simply cannot be matched by other impostors. Don't be fooled by the pepsi products. They have Coke in a bottle behind the counter. Great food and great price. read more
