    Very small portions for a huge price.
    Jeremy D.

    What a lie! The best Carne Asada fries is the US? I would say the worst a rip off. Just decided to try for the first and last time. 1st the portion is so freakin small for $15.99. Roberto's gives more. No flavor. I said everything on it and so they put only a teaspoon of sour cream. They should be ashamed to say the best in the US. I feel I should get my money back. Oh yes, I also got a $13 burrito that was the size of a Taco Bell burrito. The meat in the burrito was the saltiest food I've ever had. Couldn't even finish. I hope the owner sees this and makes it right.

    Two days in a row!! What is wrong with me?? Answer, nothing! This place is great! Yesterday, I had the steak burrito and today I am having the sausage and egg burrito. Both tasted amazing. Piping hot, freshly made. I also used the Yelp coupon, which when I showed it, they tried to say it wasn't valid. Don't accept their answer, they had to call the corporate headquarters to find out that they are offering a yelp coupon. Then they accepted it. I believe Riva's is better than Roberto's, except for the salsa.

    Soooooo good. They give me so much food I didn't even know what to do with myself haha It tasted very good and the salsas were perfect!!

    Chicken fries

    This spot has become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. They are in North Las Vegas on Craig rd across the street from Craig Ranch Park The customer service is excellent. They show love when I enter, even the cook says what up. I order my chicken fries simply with french fries, chicken beans, and their delicious tomatillo green sauce. It never takes long for my food to come. The food is seasoned ideally, so shout out to the cook. If you're ever in North Las Vegas looking for some good Mexican food, give this place a try; you won't regret it. Keep up the good work

    If I could give zero stars, I would. The burritos are a joke--small, beat-up, and look as ragged as the grimy place they're served in. The only place that demands your card info over the phone. Sketchy much? Feels like a scam waiting to happen. This rundown, janky excuse for a burrito spot isn't worth a dime. Street vendors outside serve up better portions and flavor. Never going back here. They're charging $12 for burritos that aren't even worth half that price.

    Shrimp salad
    Erika N.

    It's always nice to have new food options on the north side. I am still heart broken about Rivas taking the old spot of 808 Hawaiian, but change is ever constant in Sin City. When you walk in the set up is similar to a Roberto's. You order at the counter and have the option of eating in and taking your food to go. Their menu is pretty vast ranging from salads to tacos to carne asada fries - lots of options! On my recent visit I had the shrimp salad. The photo on the menu is what sold me and while it was not exactly 100% to the photo, it still looked good. The flavor was overall pretty good. I do wish they would have chopped up the tomatoes and that the avocado was a little more fresh, but still good. I'd say this place is a small step up from Roberto's, but it's not anything ground breaking or unique. I'm sure I'd come back again for a quick lunch option.

    They have a large variety of different styles of fries and Nachos, they are large portions and have great flavors. Customer service was good and even received a free taco with Yelp Check In. Service was fairly fast and we were asked if we wanted any salsa on the side as they don't have their salsa bar available for customers to self serve. The carnitas fries were fire best that we have had in Las Vegas coming from California it has been difficult finding a place we enjoy. The chicken taco they gave for check in was huge and very flavorful I will diffidently order a chicken taco again along with their fries. My family and I were very pleased with the food we ordered and will be our to go Mexican shop stop.

    This place is overpriced. But so is everything with inflation right? Mediocre Mexican food. Friendly lady that works hard. Good service.

    After trying to dine inside the Fifth Street In-N-Out around 8:00 p.m. on a Sunday night and being…read morerebuffed by scores of cars lined up for the drive-thru, scores more parked in the lot, and a full dining room, we moved on to this In-N-Out. Here there was a relatively short line of automobiles at the drive-thru, a parking spot right in front, and an open table as soon as we entered the restaurant. Staffers were very friendly and quickly filled our order of a plain and dry Double-Double with Cheese, Cheeseburger with Grilled Onion, Hamburger with Raw Onion, a Diet Coke, and three orders of French Fries. Everything tasted great except for one burger that contained a hamburger patty with obviously well done meat. Still this was nicely obscured by the very fresh and crunchy produce that accompanied the meat. The Fries were light, tan and perfectly deep fried. We speedily dispatched our food, and drove on to Laughlin. In the future, when in North Las Vegas we will come here rather than fight the multitudes farther north on Fifth Street. XXXX-1/2 stars overall!

    Eh? Ambience is…read moreclinical. Bright, sturdy but sterile furnishings. Service is friendly and quick. Fries are odd. Maybe slightly undercooked, though there's still some good crisp on the outside but a strange mealiness on the inside. I went double double on the burger without pickles. Assembly was off center and it made it challenging to get balanced bites. The toasted bun added some textural contrast. Sauce and onions were decent, adding flavor and moisture. The patties are thin and rather dry. Maybe blasphemy on the west coast but I don't get the hype, though maybe I need to calibrate based on price. It's up against McDs and Wendy's, maybe even below them. So I understand it as a value play but it is definitely a tier below my preferred Shake Shack in both price and taste. Happy to have checked the box but I've had better, though I did get a combo with a drink for the cost of just a double burger at my preferred chain. So, at the very least it has a niche.

She finally got on the speaker and was mumbling so low that we had to ask multiple times to speak louder. Second, it took way too long for us to get our food. I kid you not, we were waiting in the drive through for more than 15 minutes. And lastly, when we finally started to eat our food it was WAY TOO SALTY and even burnt!! I mean beyond eatable. Chicken- salty and overly fried. Fries- burnt and salty! You would have thought they were throwing a palm full of salt on the food. The chicken and fries could have been cooked 2 minutes less. Such a waste for the total amount of money spent and time wasted at this particular establishment. I hope the other locations are not the same.
