The absolute GOAT of food in San Diego litteraly my childhood fav to this day would never change a thing apart from that lame ass trumpie that's now running it what a fucking loser read more

Me and my son ordered carne asada fries and we both got sick the next day. Steer clear, this spot seems very unsanitary

When in SD, you have to get the CA burrito! Heard Roberto's is an OG spot so I had to try it. Thought it was good - had a good balance of meat to rice + fries and liked the salsas! The steak was decent, not the best but pretty good. Personally wouldnt crave this often but it's just because I prefer Al pastor. Overall worth trying! Did try to call in the order for pickup but they hadn't even started it when I got there which was not ideal but thankfully only waited 10 mins. read more

Been going here for a good while always the best the burritos or the carne asada fries always hit I would've taken a picture of the carne asada fries but as you can tell I devoured that since it was my first meal. The crew are always amazing mad respect for their hard work. read more

This spot was falling off past few yrs. Only went cuz I work graveyard & nothing else to buy in NC. Been seeing more reviews on SM since it's supposed to be the OG Bertos. Still wish I could get steak n egg burrito 24/7 like I used to 5yrs ago. Maybe owner is actually reading reviews & comments. Salsa bar was fresh and clean, my taco and carne asada was stuffed with meat & was able to make 2 tacos. Still looking for some more salt & seasoning in the salsas and meat. The salsa roja used to be so good, it's really bland & flat now.Took a nice nap after my meal. Service was fine and I got my order before I could even fill up my salsa cups. read more

I went here for a burrito because it was 30 years since I first ate a carne asada burrito with good friends in San Diego. When I saw it was around the corner from the mechanic shop where I was waiting, I went to grab some lunch. The burrito was just ok. The meat was pretty tasty but it wasn't hot, as if it was resting and not reheated before it went in the tortilla. Thankfully, that was nice and hot and grilled. I got it with no rice and beans, just guacamole and pico de gallo, and it was big, I'll say that. It was over $17 too. Man, inflation hurts. The red salsa was damn good though and honestly I'll go back again, despite the good, not great. read more

Drug addicts everywhere, Drug addicts peeing outside on the curb as we pulled up, other addicts asleep in a booth inside while families were dining. Paid $17 for pollo asado chips that had a little guac and cheese as the toppings. I grew up on this spot, just super bummed on how downhill this experience was. Generous 2 stars read more

I had the surf and turf burrito. The burrito forshure smacked. So dam good! The cashier was very friendly and i will come back when i visit san diego again. Ignore the haters because this place is a banger read more

As my wife was eating her roll tacos, she bit down on something hard. Turns out it was this little BB, who know's if there was anymore in the food and if this was done intentionally. Who knows what other people have ingested. read more

I've always liked the original taco shop. Robertos. They have changed the recipes and marinades and the food is exceptional. The flavors really pop. read more

Ordered Carne asada fries and 3 roll tacos with extras that I did not ask for and charged me 10.50 on top of the original order . To top it off I came home to no salsa , when calling amd complaining the guy said it was my fault for not seeing the salsa bar, after it was my first time at the taco shop. 0 stars for customer service read more

The guy working here at 12:45am on Wednesday 10/4. This guy took 4 orders and cooked it himself in a very efficient organized manner while simultaneously fighting off crackheads coming from outside. I wanted to tip the man but they don't accept it via card payment. Yo if management is reading this give your boy a raise read more

Classic traditional Mexican food, soCal style OG. 5 rolled tacos is a staple and a favorite. See picture. We also ordered the chicken quesadilla. Big enough to feed two easily, but sucked, because it was mostly greasy tortilla. Little cheese and undesired chicken parts. My wife says Taco Bell is better! read more

Food so good, they are very nice and customer friendly. Never get my order wrong. it's clean in the place.

Chula Vista. Broadway Ave. I remember going here in the 80's & 90's. Lots of parking. Food prices are decent. Plenty of good Mexican choices on the menu. One of the few places left that have good size burritos. You'll be glad you ate here. read more

Love the food here I think it's the best Roberto's in San Diego food is hot and made however u like. Staff is super friendly

I'm sorry but this place needs people who know how to give customer service. The cashier was disrespectful and acting up. Was up charging 8$ for a mix of meat. Which that is no problem but the attitude was so rude. The previous person he attended he was also rude to them. It sucks going to a place and getting bad service. Last time we did our order it wasn't correctly given. The prices are not good and the food is average. The place definitely needs to be clean more. Definitely don't recommend this spot for food. Not a family friendly place . In addition their service tables are really reduce. read more

I can't believe how big these tacos are!! The biggest I ever had! I did t even eat dinner at night! Ordered Adobada and and fish taco. The fish taco was ok. But the Adobada taco was wonderful. Juicy and full of flavor! Definitely would eat here again. Just won't order the fish taco. read more

Been coming here since they opened decades ago. But that all stops after food poisoning from a pollo asada burrito (possibly spiked) Tuesday. Couldn't hold anything down, vomiting excessively and then diarrhea after regaining appetite. Given my long patronage to this shop, want to give them the benefit of the doubt, however, it's hard to believe that a half eaten burrito with possibly tainted meat would make me this sick without some other foreign ingredient. read more

The dudes who work here are amazing!! I absolutely love them and they always get your order correct. HOWEVER, the women who work here are only here for a check. They don't have any care in the world and will always mess up your order. I asked specifically if there was sour cream or cheese on my specific item and if so to make it without. I come home and take the biggest bite of sour cream and cheese. Barely anything else in the damn burrito. Don't go here when the women are working cause they will screw up your food. Spent 30$ for food me and my fiancé don't want anymore. We always get the same thing and every time it's them they mess it up and the quality is awful. If you see the boys they're amazing and they'll make sure your food is right. If the girls are there just go to a different one. Very very upset customer and I will never order from the girl(s) again. read more

Roberto's Taco Shop - Store front - Mexican Near Me - National City, California

No rude service or face today and food tasted good. Upon walking up to the store, I see a young man sitting outside. He looked like he may have just finished and was just relaxing and enjoying the warm and sunny day. 15 minutes had passed and he was still chillin'. I was thinking, this guy must be really full and about to go into a food coma. The next couple minutes, I hear, "California Burrito!", and the guy gets up to grab his food. I was like, TF? Then I look around and see more people sitting around chatting or on their phones. I realized all these people are waiting and I'm last! I remember one lady with a puzzled face who waited for one mini taco that probably took more than 15 minutes! I tried. I guess I'll come back after a year again. Even though it's one of the closer taco shops to my house. read more

I called to place an order and i didnt even say i was done and the lady just hung up on me. I called again and said excuse me you just hung up on me I want to know the price and she said ,"I have an order on the screen I cant tell you." and then she proceeded to hang up again. Very rude, very bad customer service. also the food was not that great and it is pricey. I understand that the economy is not the best but if we are paying more then it should have a good amount of meat and the other ingredients as well but they give you so little now it is very disappointing and i was very dissatisfied. I dont believe I will ever go back here again . read more

It is 7:07 P.M., March 30, 2023. The lady cashier is helping out in the kitchen, holding the raw shrimps, then went back to the front to get orders and payment without changing her gloves. This happened while taking care of more than 3 customers while I was there. Handling raw seafood especially shrimps without washing hands and without changing gloves before taking care of money is not a good practice. Please remind your staff...This is a good place to eat, but what I have noticed tonight is unacceptable. read more

I've been to many Mexican restaurants and taco shops all over San Diego and nobody can compare to this hole in the wall. I love the authentic taste and grandmother flavors. This place also uses real guacamole and gives you a generous amount. They also cater I love it!!! read more

Just ordered the chili relleno burrito, which is supposed to have beans, rice, cheese and a chili relleno inside. What I got was a chewed up, flavorless chili, with tons of soggy batter, no beans, no rice, no cheese. Just a bunch of lettuce. F*** these guys. They're an embarrassment to taco shops. read more

Burrito prices are a little higher than other shops and justified since they were bigger but the last few times they made them smaller so not worth it. Stopped coming altogether after pouring the salsa from their self-serve salsa station onto my burrito and found that the dark chunk was a dead fly. read more

3 Star food with 0 Star service. I asked for a Special Breakfast Burrito and 1 Large Horchata Drink with no ice. The cashier proceeds to give me the drink with a lot of ice. I told her I ordered the drink with no ice and she gives me a mean look, throws the contents of my drink (drink + ice) back into the large Horchata drink dispenser and refills my drink. I shouldn't have to deal with their attitude if it is their fault that they got my order wrong!!! Also, I'm sure it's against some health regulation to dump an already poured drink back into the drink container but I'm sure they don't care. Never coming back here. read more
