    Worst burrito made of mostly refried beans

    Tonight I had the worst burrito at Roberto's. I ordered a carnitas burrito, which I've had before, but this time, there was no carnitas in it! it was almost all made of gray refried beans, green peppers, and a chunk of half melted cheddar one one side. It was disgusting. I gave it 2 bites, then opened it up to see if there was any meat in it - and there were a like 4 strings of chicken - wrong meat! No rice, no guacamole, nothing else. My husband ordered a chicken burrito and his was ok (not great though) and full of chicken. Guess they ran out of carnitas and just slopped some refried beans in a tortilla. Gross. Waste of $10. Had a pretty good carnitas burrito here weeks ago - tons of meat, rice, guacamole, pico. This burrito was made of complete slop. Wondering if it was from the leftovers of someone's plate or something.

    My late night cravings were satisfied! I worked super late the other night and decided to place an order online to take home. Roberto's is open 24 hours a day! I loved the convenience of ordering online, and my food was ready on time for pick up. I have not had the carne asada fries in years! I just wish the cheese was more melted. My chicken tacos were a bit dry but had good flavor. The fries were a bit on the soggy side in some sections but still edible. I ordered my daughter a bean and cheese burrito, and we ended up just sharing everything. Believe it or not, the bean and cheese burrito was my favorite thing. I'll keep them in mind for future late night cravings since they're open 24 hours. Do check out their daily specials and combos!

    A memo

    Sorry probably give them a better review but I just can't at the moment. Their food is good I do like their rice and beans but I got here and waited 10 minutes before I was even acknowledged by the girl that was supposed to be behind the counter she was in the back and the guy who was cooking never even said hey so we'll be right with you nothing so I kind of stood there with my thumb up my butt. Now I really came over here for taco Tuesday because every taco place has got Taco Tuesday except Roberto's there is no Taco Tuesday special. And so I ended up ordering a carne asada platter and a bean and cheese burrito she asked me what kind of tortilla I would like corn or flour and I asked if I could have one of each and she said no! Now riddle me this why would it be so difficult to put one corn tortilla and one flour tortilla when it comes with two anyway instead of two of either corn or flour does not make sense so anyway if you come over here kind of be prepared to be ignored and no substitutions whatsoever apparently so even something as simple as that. So when I got home there was four huge flour tortillas and I really missed having corn because that's what I prefer. The food was mediocre wasn't anything to brag about but it didn't make my belly stop growling. I'm definitely going to try these little Mexican place down the street from Roberto's and see how they are because I'm not that impressed with Roberto sorry to say.

    Carne asada fries

    Just ate here for the first time. Roberto's is now in Sparks - I have no idea how long they've been here but am glad they are right down the street from me. I had the carne asada fries, these things are huge! They are flavor/ingredient packed and come with fries, meat, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, salsa mexicana. They are quick and give you a plate full. The asada was well done and everything tasted as it should. Only complaint is that the meat was a little too nervey (don't think that's a word but I think you know what I mean?) and the red salsa (on the side) was missing something.

We were pleasantly greeted & seated immediately, then just like that, our server (Ramon Jr) was at our table, took our drink order & answered a few questions. I'm glad I had perused the menu yesterday & pretty much knew what I wanted, my daughter ordered Ramon's Skillet & I had the Chicken Fried Steak and eggs ( gravy on the side). Portions were huge. I was glad cuz I had been fasting due to a medical procedure. They know what they are doing in the kitchen, eggs were perfectly over medium w/ crispy edges just the way I like them. The chicken fried steak was really Milanese style, perfectly crispy like I'm used to in Mexico, I tasted the gravy & it was really good but once I realized it wasn't American style CFS, I asked our waiter for salsa & pico to put on top!!! Perfection!! I had a lot to tangle with on my own plate but my daughter & I swapped bites of each others dishes, hers came with soft tortillas, the bite I had melted in my mouth! Couldn't finish either plate so decided to take the rest to go. There are many items on the menu I want to try so we will definitely be back!

Once seated, we ordered quickly and received our drinks right away. Unfortunately, nearly an hour later, we still had not received any food. We were eventually told they had new staff working in the kitchen, but no one kept us updated or explained the delay until we asked. The restaurant was only half full at 11:10 a.m. on a Sunday. We understand that new staff may need time to get settled, but waiting more than an hour for food in a half-empty restaurant--with very little communication--was disappointing. Hopefully, this was just an unusually bad day and they can get the kitchen and service back on track.

I got there kind of late morning and was surprised to get a table without issue. The place was about half filled and got choice of table. No issue getting a table without my friends arriving yet which was nice. Combed over the menu and had a couple things on my radar which got thrown for a loop when I was told "You can make any scramble a burrito or taco". WHAT??? How do you not love that? And why aren't more places doing this? Opted for the Traditional breakfast burrito made into tacos. Felt like it was the most complete option of items that I would want in a taco versus some of the others like having potatoes in it or something. Came with choice of potatoes, pico, and salsa. The pico and salsa were just the right amount for the 3 tacos. I really enjoyed the tacos, but wish it had a bit more protein. I probably would have been better off with sausage or maybe adding sausage to have both. Me and a buddy also split a side of French toast. I had heard they have the best french toast and while I'm not a big french toast fan (i enjoy it, just never order it), It was great. Not great enough to convert me to getting it, but definately one of the better ones ive had. We will be back again for sure. Wish I remembered the servers name, she was great. I think it was Alana.

Hubby had the breakfast burrito the size of Popeye's forearm with a side of biscuit & gravy. I ordered a bacony benedict type thingy with onions & cheese, it was divoon. The gravy for the biscuit was a little thin but a generous portion of it. Overall, we were both very happy with out takeout and had no issues or delays picking the order up. It was almost noon on the 4th of July when I ordered but still had no issues, and the restaurant did not seem to be it's usual business at that time. Moral of the story: if you like Squeeze In on a weekend or holiday just to come here and complain about the wait or service, maybe just order ahead & get take-out?

My friend and I had other plans for lunch but Jacobo's turned out being our choice. I really felt like Mexican, she felt like Breakfast. I ordered Carne Asada , she ordered Pancakes, sausage and eggs, simple right... I will comment that we waited awhile for our food to arrive. Mine came on a large platter, nicely dressed with sour cream, guacamole, jalapeño peppers onions. Actually very nice, the meat was tender and tasty. Mine also came with eggs and potatoes. My complaint begins here, I ordered the eggs over medium and they came Over easy, the Potatoes needed more cook on them and I didn't care for the way they were seasoned. I'm not one to send back food, so I ate the eggs and left most of the potatoes. Oh, tortillas came with, either corn or flour. I chose flour and I will say it was a good soft flour tortilla. My friend always orders something simple and generally anything that can be made at home. As I mentioned she ordered pancakes, sausage and eggs. Again she ordered Over Medium and they were more Over Easy, the sausage links looked disgusting, small shriveled and overly browned. She complained about the pancakes as well ( I tasted them and they tasted fine to me ). So overall, not a great meal. I have a favorite option for breakfast in Sparks and will undoubtedly go back there. As I mentioned the staff were nice and friendly, no complaints there. I'm sad that we weren't happy with the food here, we both had high hopes. Unfortunately I didn't take my phone to photograph anything. P.S. a funny thing, the menus seemed worn yet the restaurant hadn't been open that long for them to be in the condition they were in. An odd thing.

Their breakfast menu is tempting, but it was after Eleven A.M. and I was craving a hamburger bad.

The only complaint is that on this particular day the kitchen was short staffed and we did wait awhile for our food to arrive, but I'm patient with these kinds of things after working in the restaurant industry for many years. So the food arrived and my eyes popped out of my head when my burger arrived, the patty was meaty and the vegetables on the burger were fresh. I chose the Mushroom Swiss burger, Wow ! Every bite was delicious and the French Fries were so crisp and delicious. I filled my belly to its limit with this meal. Oh, and my friend's omelette was unbelievable it was so fluffy and it was served steaming, every bite steam kept rising from it, it's like nothing we had ever seen, unbelievable ! As for me I probably won't be ordering a burger anywhere else. Excellent ! I did also order a Latte and it was filled to the rim and quite good. They definitely deserve 5 Stars.

(For reference, I'll return to a restaurant I rate a 4 but I won't return to a restaurant I rated a 3 unless someone I'm with wants to go to it). Here's what they do well: exceptionally good and friendly service, the portions are extremely generous given the already great prices, homemade flour tortillas, smooth horchata, great guac (finely diced onion and tomato in it), delicious bean and cheese burrito with great umami (love when it's salty and richly flavorful), being able to view the kitchen in action (people pay a lot of money for those teppanyaki show style dinners! lol), and frankly because they were already rated so high I figured the Yelp community can't be wrong! Here's what was less than impressive on my visit in late August 2026: my huevos rancheros sauce was bland. I could sense there was a hint of chicken bullion in the background but for the most part I felt like I was eating watered down canned tomato sauce that had been thickened with cornstarch and had a pinch of bullion. I was hoping for some acidity, some cumin, some spice-- something! But it just fell flat. I was also disappointed that there was essentially bits of raw bell pepper just thrown on top. In addition, I personally don't mind their deteriorating "ambiance" but I think it might matter to the average person searching reviews on Yelp so I gotta tell ya, it's rough inside; I'm talking exposed wood in the countertop, cracked and peeling barstool cushions (all they have is barstool seating by the way, but there's plenty of seats and they are lined up around a long counter that faces the kitchen). Now, I can't end with that for a "4" so do let me remind you of some of the good: great prices, good portions, friendly service, and lots of yelpers appear to rate them highly. My recommendation, perhaps try a burrito-- the simple bean and cheese burrito my daughter got (that I took a bite of) was fantastic.
