El Pastor Street Tacos
Ian M.

The owners and servers are one of the biggest gems of this place. So warm and friendly and such great service every single time! This visit I tried one quesa birria for the first time. I would definitely order this again! Wow! The broth (consome) that comes with it is so flavorful! My wife always digs the street tacos, as I have on occasion myself. There's just too many good choice to pick the same thing every time so I variate. If passing through Gardnerville and hungry, consider stopping by! The indoor dining and bar area is spacious enough and on a nice day, the small outdoor dining area is great too! Hope you enjoy!

Best Mexican Restaurant with always consistent service.and food quality. Pretty sure it is family owned and operated. Same staff since we started eating there in 2022.

9/2/2023 Out for a drive and decided once again to stop by. It's still overcast and a light rain.. Decided to go with pozole, and a carne asada street taco... Huge piping hot bowl... Street taco I devoured.. Dh got the carne asada torta... Oh my! Beautiful soft torta and tender pieces of meat.. I'd say this is one of the best tortas.. (one other place in Alameda was just as good).. only $8.99! So glad we stopped..

Tasty mole sauce. Enjoyed the veg fajitas- very thinly sliced peppers and onions. Yum to the chips and salsa.

We ventured into another town for lunch. We have exhausted all the places where we live. Now onto…read morethis amazing meal. We entered and were greeted by the sweetest waiter Ivan. This young man was the best. We were brought chips and salsa, and we also requested the extra spicy for the Hubby. The mild was perfect for me. The chips were nice and crunchy with a great corn flavor. We did order a sangria for me and a margarita for the hubby. They have a really nice lunch menu with great prices and a very extensive regular menu. I ordered the #6 off the lunch menu. A chili relleno with the sauce on the side and a crispy ground beef taco. The rice was so good, great flavor as well as the refried beans. 5 stars for each of these. The taco was so full of meat (ground beef) and fresh veggies. The chilli relleno was huge and perfectly cooked. I get my sauce on the side so leftovers will not get soggy. Now this sauce was like a ranchero sauce, looked like onions, celery and maybe tomatoes in it. It was really tasty. Hubby got a #13 off the regular menu. 1 enchilada, he got ground beef, 1 crunchy taco with ground beef and a tamale which was shredded beef. I tried the tamale and it was very delicious. We did ask to speak to the Manager who looked a bit nervous coming over. We explained to him it was our very 1st visit and won't be our last. We told him everyone wants to call you over to complain, we were like we wanted to give you major compliments on everything from the awesome waiter Ivan to the food and atmosphere. Music was at a perfect tone etc. We were seated by the bar area in a booth. Very nice in that area. We will definitely be going back

Nuevo Vallarta was a solid choice, and from a guy that doesn't eat at Mexican restaurants much. I…read moredo have one big exception: New Mexican-style - Red or Green? Gayle was off with her Sister on a Cruise, or what she calls "Sisters Without Misters" or "Misters Without Masters". I was coming in from Markleeville and stopped in Minden for gas an a burrito combo to take home as my first "bachelor" dinner. I hadn't set foot in this building since McDonald's was here, and found that the subsequent renovation to be impressive. I'll need to come back for a sit down with music, but for this visit it was a To-Go order at the counter. The order came out relatively quick and hot, so much so that I had to be careful taking it back to the car. It was a huge amount of food and so much so that it was good for 2 very satisfying dinners. Even a little microwaving on Night 2 didn't really dent the experience. My only quibble is that I prefer black beans to refried, but either forgot to ask or wasn't sure.
