This is my favorite Mexican food place in Pahrump. They have the BEST bean and cheese burrito & chili relleno burritos I've had since moving here 8 years ago. The staff is Berry friendly. read more

The service was great, we absolutely loved the margaritas. Cute little taco shop style restaurant. I had an amazing torta, the chili Verde and the Carne Asada quesadilla were also really, really good! However, the El Pastor fries had meat that was in tiny dry cubes. Hard and dry for El Pastor. Everything else was wonderful and the service was really really good. We will definitely be back to give it another shot! read more

I called a order in, I was interested in getting the chicken Diablo but didn't want it spicy so I asked how spicy it was, was told I can get no spice so that's exactly what I did. Got home and clearly the directions were not followed, you can see the chili flakes. Disappointed because me and my wife love this place but this is not the first time our order has been messed up. read more

So this is my favorite Mexican place for barria tacos! They have great service here and give you complimentary chips and salsa when you dine in. The inside is really cute, and you totally have to look at the picture hanging on the wall to the right of the door when you walk in. I think I looked at it like three times before I finally saw that it was a chalice two faces and then pictures inside of the two faces. It's such a neat painting! read more

We selected this little hole in the wall taco place because we felt like it was the best chance for us to get authentic Mexican food and boy were we right!!!! The decor is nothing fancy, but the food is why you're here and if that's the case then you've chosen the right place. Multiple sauces on the table as well as green sauce and guacamole in squeeze containers, and about six different selections of meat for your tacos and burritos, many of which I wouldn't eat, but it was wonderful to have that option. Beef tongue and beef tripe along with chicken beef, pork, and several other selections are available for those who are a little more challenging eaters than me.So glad we decided to stop and we definitely recommend this for anyone passing through Pahrump. Yum is all I can say! read more

Chili Verde should be large chunks of pork. We rec'd these little pellets of pork!! Yuck read more

I only stop in when I'm in town for business, a few times a year. The first few visits were amazing! Very good, fresh, consistent tasting food. The two times previous to my visit today were a bit disappointing. The same meal I always ordered didn't taste the same, along with the salsa and the chips. So, I stopped visiting on my way out. Today, just craving the chips and salsa I stopped in, ordered that and some rice. The two lady's at front were very pleasant, the chips, rice, salsa and also the hot salsa for the food all tastes exactly the way it used to! Kinda disappointed I didn't order my meal this time- glad to see whatever changed, changed back and the food is as amazing as I remember! Looking forward to stopping back in from time to time read more

FIRE. Got the 3 taco combo, the al pastor tacos and grilled chicken was SO good. The pineapple in the Al pastor taco made it even better. The chips and salsa were also really good, everything is extremely reasonably priced. The service was great ,cant wait to come back read more

Good food, friendly waiters, no long wait time plus they have Mexican Coke. I will go there again and I highly recommend it.

Loved the food. Almost as good as Fiesta Tacos but doesn't have the atmosphere. The salsa is a little too spicy for me.

As usual everything is Good. I've frequently visited. So many choices. I still have to look at a menu. read more

Foods good but staff miscommunication made the order all wrong. I went in for the taco tuesday special and the waitress who came to our table didn't speak english. I mean speak whatever you want but if you are going to take orders you should probably speak the language of the customer at least somewhat so the order is made right. She proceeded to sign me up for the more expensive tacos on the menu. We asked for the special but she didn't understand. We did complain after the fact and she did discount my tacos. We had to continue to argue tho to get my wifes tacos discounted as well. She also ordered the special. If you are going to have someone working with customers you might want to make sure they are able to communicate. It isn't just hard for the customer but I would imagine frustrating for the waitress as well. It isn't her fault management decided to put her in that situation. The food is good but in this town where we have 20+ mexican restaurants it isn't just about that. The service is questionable and that is the reason I won't be returning any time soon. read more

Food was great as usual but there was a hair in my taco sauce and its not the usual red hot sauce I'm used to from them. This one has alot of stems :( disappointed read more

Johnny's Taco Shop was recommended by a local at Mountain Falls GC. For a Sunday afternoon the place was busy, many small families filled the restaurant. My wife and I were able to get a table, we ordered the asada and pollo Tacos with rice and beans along with an order of chicken Fajitas. As first time diners we were pleased that the service and food were good read more

For a small little Mexican food place in a small desert town... great food! Everything was homemade and the mango Margarita with tajin messed my wife up! Not stingy on the tequila. Everyone was really nice. Family owned and operated. Only reason for the four stars is there wasn't enough wait staff. Kept having to flag down waitress. However... we will be back! read more

We drive from Vegas just to eat here. It's nothing fancy but the food is amazing and the service is just as amazing !

We've gone to Johnny's Taco Shop on the way from Death Valley. This place has been recommended to us by a local. It seems locals do favor it a lot. It was full by 6pm on Monday night, which was no surprise after we've tried the food. We've started with margaritas- both lemon and mango were just right. We could skip chips and salsa- nothing special. The main dishes though were really good. Beef fajitas and beef tacos were superb. We have also tried their 3 carnes molcajetes (beef, chicken and shrimp). I loved beef and shrimp; chicken was dry and overall less impressive. The place looks and feels pretty basic, but if you're not looking for an elegant setting- you should definitely try it. read more

SOOOO GOOD! Some tasty, made-with-love Mexican food! This place has fast and capable service handing out DELICIOUS food. I recommend the enchiladas, tortas, tacos, and especially their chile rellenos, mine on two occasions were perfectly fried and stuffed with cheesy goodness, in a rich sauce. The food is so flavorful, and the señoras serving it are fast and nice. Highly recommended! read more

Being from the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, I value places where there are no excessive crowds, and as a result, you can get prompt service. When I walked in, there were only 4 patrons in the business. I wasn't sure if I needed to seat myself or go to the counter. That's because in Dallas, due to the crowds, there's usually a sign in process and you have to wait to be seated. I was informed by the only waiter in the building to sit where I would like to sit. When I sat down, she gave me a menu and asked me what I wanted to drink. I didn't know yet because I didn't know what they offered. I asked for a sprite but was wanting to get a margarita. She came back with a very small bowl of chips and dip. The dip was spicy but pretty good and the chips were okay. I ordered a bowl of guacamole and more chips and a fajita plate. Because of experiencing various presentation of fajitas plates, I based my rating off of my experiences. Their fajita plate was decent. The meat was very small as well as the shrimp. The guacamole was mediocre. It lacked flavor. The price for the food the serving size is imbalanced, but off course in Texas, everything is big so I'm accustomed to sizable portions. I actually drove to this place from Las Vegas because I wanted to get out of the city and see the mountains up close and I decided to stop and eat there for lunch. This place is not bad; however, I don't feel that it's a place that I would revisit. I think I'm being biased because Texas makes the best "Tex-mex" food lol. read more

Great and filling Mexican/Texmex food after a day of hiking Death Valley. I was super hungry so I was glad for the chips and salsa as I sat down. Ordered the #4 taco/enchilada combo with ground beef. Super tasty especially with salsa and radish from the salsa bar (the green verde was my favorite). Great and friendly service. Good value all around. read more

Medium sized restaurant with 5 booths and a bunch of tables. We were quickly seated and our orders taken. Chips and a spicy salsa were brought to the table. I liked the salsa, my wife not so much. Kind of thick like ketchup but not many chunks of onion and other typical salsa ingredients. But still hot! Ordered a beer, which comes in a bottle. Nothing on tap. Wife had chicken street tacos and I went with the Carne Asada Wife says that the street tacos were very good. She only wished that they had whole beans instead of refried. The Carne Asada was three thin slices of flank steak with a very good flavor. A little chewey but nice flavor. The only think missing for me was a little fresh flavor with the heavy taste of the meat, rice, and beans. When I used a little of the lime from my wife's plate, it was 1000 percent better. Next time I'd order a side of pico de gallio. Even though we were full, we couldn't resist adding a couple of Churros, which were very good! Meals, 2 beers, soda, dessert = $33.5 plus tip. read more

We had a take-out order. We have always been happy with the food and service in the past, both for dine-in and take-out. However, today, the food quality was not as good as usual. Hopefully, it may have been because of the Easter weekend holiday. By the way, photos of the menus are no longer correct. Apparently prices have gone up due to inflation. read more

We are from Vegas! My husband did a job in Pahrump for about a week and ate here 3 times! He kept coming home and bragging about how delicious it was and couldn't wait to bring me. By far the Best place to eat in Pahrump! Best tacos and their meat is so fresh and delicious!! I ordered some Tacos de Lengua, and a Lengua Burrito. Ask for the lengua to get grilled with onions, FIRE. Their deserts are delicious as well, we ended our meal with a fried Ice-cream, cheese cake and a churro. Their churros are filled, and so yummy. I have to say being from Vegas, this restaurant has the freshest meat I've ever tasted! The service is great as well!! read more

I like giving restaurants five stars, and typically do unless there's something glaringly wrong, such as the case here. Johnny's is the typical quintessential cheap looking Mexican restaurant. It's not just tacos but also the typical Mexican restaurant menu in the US. Nothing special that I saw nor nothing out of the ordinary. Despite this, what cost them the star is the food tasted bland. Ordered two enchiladas with rice and hold the refried beans. Came out hot enough but there truly was no flavor. There was enough food, all the components were there, but seemed as if they just took it straight from the can, jar, squeeze bottle, bag, etc. Two simple examples: The rice was just plain white rice and couple veggies on there like pea and corn. Other was the red sauce that covers the enchiladas, literally couldn't taste it. Saw the red sauce but the taste Buds didn't register it. They were super busy as just opened up but give it some time and will quiet down. Also, if you miss if and don't get a chance to go, it's likely you won't miss much. read more
