Roberto Mexican Cafe is spot on Mexican cuisine. All the sauces and spices are exactly what you would experience South of the Border! They have many authentic dishes to choose from including many vegetarian options. I love the Carne Asada Burrito and a side of Refried Beans! Very filling and large enough to share. The price is affordable and worth every penny. You won't leave hungry, in fact you will leave extremely full! The little cafe reminds me of a quaint Mexican cafe in Mexico! It's a relaxing and fulfilling foodie experience! read more

Visiting Carlsbad is always special for our family. On this visit, for convenience sake, we ordered delivery from a new-to-us Mexican restaurant. All around a hit for our group. Loves the kids meal options and my husband enjoyed his surf and turf burrito. I devoured the carne asada nachos. Our boys shared the carne asada plate and it was a generous portion they were able to share with leftovers. Can't vouch for service since we had it delivered but will have to make a stop in at the actual establishment next time. read more

One of the better chorizo burritos I've had, it was very flavorful and it was a pleasant surprise. The spot is close to the beach and they have some seating inside and out. They were pretty quick in getting my food out and the staff were nice. read more

Always fresh, always great service when ordered by phone or in person. The loaded breakfast burrito is the best by far, but truly everything else I've had is really good. From the humongous California burrito to rolled tacos! Sauces are also right on the counter to enjoy. Great shady patio and easy parking out back. read more

my kid loves the carne asada fries. he would eat it daily if I let him. Great salsas we like eating there once a week read more

we walked here from the hotel a few mins walk... 3 min way..... not wanting to eat at pricey hotel again. David helped us and was amazing in his manor and kindness. This young man should be a Mgr. at least. food was a four star but he makes it a 5 all by himself. I loved the green sauce(hot) !!! we had a nice dinner in our room with NO regrets. If you are nearby, hungry, and not wanting to spend a fortune.... this is it !!!! read more

This become a tourist trap? WAY overpriced and half the size of others. Pros: Burritos on the beach is easy, within walking distance. Food was OK, exact same you get at other mex restaurants. Cons: $17 for a burrito? Same price for sit down restaurant that give you sides. Half the size of places like Cotixan up the road. Chips and guac for $10 was like a single servicing of chips, with 8oz guac but it wasn't Hass, actually tasted like the frozen wholly guacamole product. Don't expect to eat inside on a winter evening, place barely has standing room only. LOTS of Mex restaurants in the area, try Kotija or Cotixan, both way better options. read more

I ordered the Chile Relleno burrito avocado. It comes with rice and enchilada sauce. I added avocado and refried beans. The chile relleno was cooked perfect with just the right amount of cheese. The avocado was fresh and added a nice contrast to the enchilada sauce l which was on parr! I can't vouch for their meats, as I didn't have any...but the chile relleno, moi! read more

Food was terrible. Extremely bland and oily. Adobada was mostly fat. Asked for flower tortillas but got corn. During payment the cashier Selena kept looking how much I was going to tip and that determined how she was going to treat me. She was extremely rude after. The salsas were good though. read more

Good place to get a burrito for the beach - rolled tacos seem popular but burrito is better there

Consistently good Mexican food. Order in or take out, Roberto's has been my go to whenever I want great, authentic Mexican food.

I'm going out on a limb and questioning whether this place is under new ownership or management as the size of my $20 (adding tax , tip, and sour cream) burrito is close to half the size it used to be. Easy to go a block up the street if this continues. Lame!! read more

Classic hole in the wall. Reliable and tasty. The red salsa is yummy. Bean and cheese burrito, carnitas burrito and crispy beef tacos were all solid (beef was a little dry). Small seating area in front. read more

I come here at least once a week. Their California burrito is always consistent and very delicious -- I highly recommend adding guacamole! Their carne asada fries are also fantastic. Same with the bacon breakfast burrito. Cute sunny patio to eat at, and the staff is always friendly and helpful!! Bonus: their creamy avocado salsa is 10/10!!! read more

Terrific food! They have an amazing veggie burrito Calle the light burrito. Nice title deck if you dine in, or take it nextdoor to the beach! I've been coming here for years and it's consistently delicious. Very clean, and good service. read more

This place used to be amazing until the price gouging began. Just paid $13.75 for a bean and cheese burrito with lettuce, salsa, sour cream.. what a total joke.. I've probably been here 50 times in my life and won't go back read more

Great service from DAVID the other day! Very personable and polite. Great food, always. Nice spot to stop on the way to the beach, or on your way home from a long beach day!!!! read more

They've all the basics here and just off the coast highway. Lots of parking. No frills, just solid food. My craving for rolled tacos was more than satisfied. read more

I visited the Carlsbad state beach for a family picnic but forgot that I was supposed to pack food. I quickly went to Yelp and found this burrito joint open at 10 a.m. on Sunday. Lucky for me, it was not lunchtime, so the place was empty. I ordered a couple of breakfast burritos and California burritos to go. I saw that they had coffee on the menu and decided to order that too. It turns out they have a Keurig machine for coffee. The burritos were good even though we ate them after 2 hours as a beach picnic lunch. I will order again when I visit the beach and when it's my turn to pack the picnic lunch. read more

I tell myself, many times, I wont come back as its hit and miss. I should have just gone to In n Out. I got a CA burrito. It was cold. F***ing cold. Cold cheese unmelted... meat barely warm... a cold tortilla. I have been coming here since I was a teenager. I am over 50. What a joke. Just had to come back hours later. What a bunch of buffoons the cooks... and I can speak Spanish. Somebody needs to tale Natalia by the hand and plead for pride in their work. Since the construction of the hotel and the "gentrification" of Leucadia her business has seen a lot more revenue. read more

Cali burrito all day. Bean n cheese is bomb too! Right by ponto beach, can't go wrong with that location. read more

Drove 30 min to get here at 8:39 and they were all locked up. Wish you guys would just update the hours to the hours you are actually open... won't be comming back anytime soon. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I have been jonesing for Mexican food since I have been out of the country for several weeks. Bland chicken, bland pico de gallo and bland guacamole. I asked and paid extra for pinto beans and got bland refried. Friends had crispy tacos that were dripping with grease. Their shredded beef and and chicken were also bland. I love Mexican food but this was just plain sad. Two taco plates and a burrito with 3 mineraguas was $60. The ladies working in the front and in the kitchen were nice. But I wouldn't go back even if you paid me. read more

This is the best Roberto's location with great customer service. Adelahida was friendly and helped me sign up for the rewards program. My family's favorites are the machaca burritos, rolled tacos, and enchiladas. read more

Tried and true! Everyone is so nice when you call or order in. Food is always good. Breakfast burritos are huge, the California burrito is awesome as well. People see hole in the wall, I see good food. read more

The best of the Roberto's family chain of taco shops. Waaay better than Solana Beach. Great staff!

Rolled tacos always taste better in Southern California. The order of three was crunchy and topped with decent guac and cojita cheese and alot of lettuce. Eat these with a view of the ocean and you can't go wrong. We also had some good breakfast burritos for about $6 each. You can get the Mexican scramble and add whatever you want - in my case hash browns and also bacon in another person's. The fresh pico de gallo really made this burrito burst with flavor, plus the green sauce has alot of flavor when added on top. The front service girl in the AM was really sweet and the burrito's were a good start to the day. read more

This place is amazing!! We ordered dinner last Sunday. I was surprised how busy they were when we walked in and I am glad I decided to give them a shot. I have been ordering food around but this place is a winner. Delicious food, friendly staff, reasonable price and I do not understand how people are complaining about Robert's food being pricey I was reading the other reviews that people like to add stuff in their burritos but what are they expecting? getting for free?.. anyway, we will be back for more delicious food! I am adding this to my favorite place. read more

WOW my first time here .....I'll definitely be back! I saw the line outside and knew they had to be worth the wait ! read more

Their breakfast burrito was HUGE. I like my pico not so chunky, but they have a solid business just feet from our airbnb. Wish I had tried lunch there. read more

in my opinion, this place is not very good. Also, it cost a whole $15 for two tacos. The tacos did not have an extra shell so it broke very easy. Also, one of my other friends got a bean and rice burrito that bean and rice burrito tasted like a piece of beep. thanks read more

I am trying to understand how this burrito was created. The thickest layer of clumped up cheese ever. Not very appetizing. It was like someone inserted a block of cheddar right in the middle of the burrito. I want to like this place. The ladies workjng here were really nice and not at all like some of the other comments here. I just think they need to work on the food a bit. read more

Reminds me of my old UCSD days, although the burritos are much bigger these days. Same great taste.

Roberto's has one of the best California burritos in North County. Delicious offerings and a convenient location this is a great spot to grab a bite. The staff here are super friendly and get you the food quick, love these guys. If you are spending the day at the beach in Carlsbad or Encinitas this is the percent place to grab lunch or end your day. Breakfast burritos are also great after a surf session. read more

Roberto's has been consistently one of the best taco shops for all the years. I've been eating there, close to 40 but the one in Leaucadia is suffering, the last three times I've eaten there. The quality has definitely gone downhill. I ordered rolled tacos last night, and I had to fight to get guacamole on every bite, it was very skimpy, I could smell that the oil needed to be changed in the air fryer, and unfortunately for them, and for me, I'm not going to eat there anymore. The one in Solana Beach is still meeting the old standards, and still producing food of high quality. I will make the effort and drive down there rather than visit the one in Leaucadia. What a shame. read more
