    Carne Asada Plate
    nate c.

    What a great Carne Asada Plate. Fresh salsa bar inside. The food is great and incredibly fast. It is a great portion too. Much recommend. Gracias thanks will be back.

    Roberto's is fast food and if you go in expecting anything more then of course you'll be disappointed. For being fast food, it's been pretty good every time I've stopped by! Drive thru goes quick. One of the only 24 hr options in town. My go to is the veggie burrito and it never disappoints. It's also HUGE

    Had my stomach set for their wonderful chile colorado. A bit of a letdown this time, instead of chunks of meat, they're using sliced meat instead. Not the same definitely. The chunks of meat gave a much better flavour profile, the sliced meat does not impart the same flavour profile a chunk of meat imparts. That's a big no no, I hope this is an isolated occurrence and not the norm. I sure would be disappointed if this is how they're gonna change the recipe to. Other than that, the flavour is still good but changing to a sliced meat just doesn't sit well.

    Nice spot!

    Ok first of all let me say!! This is our first time in Carson city ! And we seen this place that reminded us of our spot in Stockton called aldabertos!! And funny thing is this place had a California burrito just like them!! I wonder if they know each other!! Food and service was really good!! Ambiance was nice for a taco shop!! Over all really good!! And if we come back to this town we will try it out again!! Wonder how there menudo is!! I will put picks up! Check them out!!

    Carne' asada fries !! Delish!!!!!

    Heading home after a long day of work, decided to go through the Roberto's drive-through. Carne' Asada fries sounded really really good, and oh my goodness they hit the spot. They were so good. We went to the one in Carson and the meat had a little bit of crisp on it like they put it on the stove top. We were able to split an order which was plenty for us two people. And they actually were exceptional. I do love Roberto's and when they do an outstanding job like they did today, they should be committed for it they hit the mark today which they usually do. Bomb!!!

    Very okay! Nothing too special, but it's quick, 24/7, and beats Taco Bell. The drive thru is always pretty slow, but maybe that means it's fresh? I keep coming back

    California Burrito

    I've wanted to try Roberto's Taco Shop, but there aren't any near me. I ordered the California Burrito, which was excellent and a large portion. It was a good value for $10.

    It's been a couple of years since I rolled through this part of Carson City. I was surprised to see this Roberto's had replaced another fast food place I used to frequent on a regular basis. Being familiar with Roberto's (from living in Las Vegas), I decided to give it a try. They've got a huge menu... it can be overwhelming if you're not exactly sure what to order. So many good possibilities and I need to narrow it to just one? Ugh. So I went with the Carne Asada plate. It was OK... definitely not the best Carne Asada I've had, to be honest. It had good flavor... but was overcooked and chewy - or maybe it was like this because it was the end of the day? (8pm) Of course, this could easily be an "off day" kind of thing... I try not to judge an entire restaurant based on one dish / one time. Considering my "end of day" theory, a better choice might have been Chile Colorado or Chile Verde... something "saucy". Overall, I think this is a good addition to Carson City, even though I already had a "go to" taqueria in the area - it's always good to have options.

If you have been following, I have been on a Birria Taco quest, trying this type of tacos every change I get. These were just okay. The sauce was good and it had generous meat/beef. But it lacked cheese?!?! See my last Birria Taco review at Mama Papa. Chimichanga - My wife really enjoyed this. She did not believe me when I told her that this was a deep fried burrito, lol. Generous portions, and she was only able to eat half. Guess we have dinner tonight. My wife and I felt the food was fairly authentic. BTW - EVERYONE ordered soup!! Menudo, Pozole, 7 Mares or Caldo de Res, etc! My wife really wanted to order this to try, but it was 70 degrees outside. Just means we have to come back. :) Kids menu also available. Atmosphere - Small location, the indoor and outdoor space was about the same size. Full of locals, everyone sort of knew each other which was cool. Semi open kitchen. One unisex restroom, I did not bother to check it out. Open 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm as per Yelp. Plenty of parking Service - Overall good, welcoming. Counter or table service. We kind of stood out, and not in a negative way. The owner/cashier wanted to make sure we enjoyed our meal. The waiter was a hard worker, cleaning our table, and bringing out chips and salsa to us. Then we went to the counter to order. Price - No prices on the menus?!?! $30 + generous tip. Reasonably priced, but for a "hole in the wall"?!?! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success.

    Every now and then I have one of those where have I been moments?…read moreWell, today was one of those times. I was at a plaza, not far from where San Marcos Grill is located. We were hungry and decided we wanted Mexican food. We've been really tired of the place we've been visiting as we are regulars there. We've been really wanting to try something new and I remembered there was a place down the street from the plaza we were at. San Marcos Grill is not very hard to find. It's just off the main drag going through Carson City on Winnie Lane. We pulled in to the parking lot and I have to be honest. My first thought was wow I hope this place is good. Because I had my doubts being in a strip mall. But you never know unless you try. So we walked, and I was amazed, how awesome this place looked I'm talking very festive, very clean. Tables were well spaced out. The lady greeted us immediately and pointed us to a table where we could sit at. She was there taking our drink orders very quickly. As we sat and looked over the menu, I could not get over the size and beauty of the bar that they have in this establishment. Complete with a great selection of any kind of drink, you could possibly want also TVs that are spaced around the establishment so if you want to watch a sport event, there's not a bad seat anywhere in the restaurant. After looking over the menu, our server came to our table was a very nice young lady and took our orders. My wife chose the beef enchiladas, and a taquito, which comes with rice and beans As I always do with a new establishment, I chose the Carnitas plate. I am a Carnitas aficionado and I always try everyone's Carnitas to see if they are legit. As we're waiting for our food, I noticed an older gentleman who was just helping everybody, come to find out he is the owner. I do not know his name, but he's very friendly guy and very warm and welcoming. As I said, the establishment is very spacious and clean. The bathroom was even clean, so it was a real joy to be there, even though we were waiting on our food, which did not take very long. My wife ordered a margarita that she really liked and I just had a Modelo with a lime. The gentleman I just told you about who I think is the owner brought our food to us and it looked amazing. Needless to say, we dug right into our food and I could not get over how great these Carnitas tasted. Not everyone can make really good Carnitas, they're either dry or they're cooked too long to were they are too crispy. These are so tender and flavorful. I enjoyed every bite. My plate came with rice in a small bowl of beans, a garnish of avocado, sour cream and pico. It also came with very hot corn tortillas The tortillas, however we're spoiled and tasted really old. In fact, you can smell how old they were. I let our server know, but it was no big deal because I had tortilla chips still on the table. She offered to get me some new tortillas, but it was fine because I only use the tortilla to kind of put my food onto the fork. So the tortilla chips worked just fine. I kept trying to eat the Carnitas slowly because I was savoring it so much. I did not want to hurry and be done with the meal too fast. This was our first visit here, and I can tell you that we will be back and probably become regulars. The staff here is very wonderful welcoming and I cannot recommend this place high enough to anyone that wants a great place to eat really great Mexican food. Kudos to the staff.!

For me, the tortilla chips and salsa are a good litmus test of how the food is going to be. All I can say is the chips were AMAZING. Crisp and flavorful. These chips were clearly homemade. The salsa was meh, but the chips were amazing. On this day, we were taken care of two wonderful Latina's, which added to the authenticity of the experience. I overheard our waitress saying she was from Mexico City. Legit. Our friends ordered the Sopas and Birria "soup". The Sopas looked amazing, with a hand formed tortilla and served with a variety of proteins. Our friend ordered the carnitas and chorizo, to have a couple of flavors to sample. She said that the tortilla was bit different than "her mom would make" but did not take away anything from the dish. Her husband had the Birria "soup". I don't know if that was the official name but that's what it looked like. LOL. Served in a rich broth (not oily) were wonderfully seasoned, tender chunks of Birria beef. Whenever a Mexican restaurant offers Menudo for breakfast, I'm down. Menudo it was. This dish was served with Tripe only, lacking the familiar hominy in the dish. I came to understand, the inclusion of hominy varies, depending on where in Mexico the recipe comes from. Well, all right, now I know. The kiss of death of Menudo is if the soup is "oily". No oily broth here. The dish was perfect, served all the normal accoutrement, including onions, cilantro and oregano. Now about the tortillas. We were told that the tortillas were hand made. O-M-G. These were the most delicious corn tortillas I have ever had. I couldn't stop eating them. OMG. Last but not least, my wife ordered the breakfast burrito. She ordered it with bacon instead of the normal Chorizo. Her breakfast burrito was legit. I don't know how they prepared their potatoes but man-o-man were they good. The burrito is also served with Mexican Queso. SO GOOD. The cheese added creamy goodness to the burrito. What a great meal. The restaurant is small but super clean and the staff were amazing. We are looking forward to sampling more of the menu. Que Bueno
