Less than 10 minutes walk from The ROW is this mom and pop Mexican Taco shop. We got adobada, carne asado, and fish tacos. The carne asado was a bit tough. The adobada was nicely charred and seasoned. The fish was perfectly deep fried. For about $5 each they were huge tacos. Other items on their menu were fairly priced. Much cheaper than eating at the casino food courts. Food was great but my only complaint would be the air circulation. It wasn't warmth the heater but stuffy from being no air circulation and then you got the kitchen cooking. I was hesitant to get anything from the salsa bar and their pickled veggies because the cart didn't seem cold. read more

FOOD POISIONING. After eating here, I literally spent days on the toilet with explosive diarrhea. read more

I have visited two locations. One downtown (near UNR) and South Reno on Steamboat. I have had their breakfast burritos. I've also had the carne asada burrito and their special priced chicken tacos on Wednesday nights. Kinda weird that it's not on the traditional "Taco Tuesday" night? The breakfast burrito was filling, hot and satisfying. Fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage and potatoes. The carne asada burrito is delicious. It comes with a good portion of steak and guacamole. The chicken tacos are not my favorite. While they have a great price they taste like saw dust and are loaded full of grease and they also come with cheese. We all know that Mexicans don't put cheese on a taco....onions and cilantro only, and I happen to agree. They have a very nice condiment bar with red and green salsa, green onions, radishes, cut limes, and pickled carrots with jalapeños. Try both salsas, but the red has just a touch of heat. read more

Roberto's Taco Shop - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Read a great review by Tara T on this restaurant. So I decided to swing by and have lunch. What an odd set up. Four parking spots and a drive thru. I parked and went inside. Tight quarters, but clean and well organized. Decent sized seating area. Easy ordering, classic menu. I ordered carne asada tacos and Tara was right, these are street tacos (I opted to leave off the guac) but double the normal street tacos size. These came with a larger single corn tortilla that was cooked in some fashion as it held together really well. Meat has a great flavor, onions and cilantro are fresh. I ate these as served with no sauce, and they were delicious. Good quality beef, well seasoned and thoroughly cooked. They have bottled drinks, a soda dispenser (Pepsi products) and a condiment bar. I'll be back. Will probably drive through next time. Thanks Tara T! read more

Clean restaurant, fast service, friendly staff, homemade salsa, good food. I haven't had good Mexican food in over a year. Well done

Miscommunication on the menu. Taco combo does not state it's hard shell tacos only. Lady in the kitchen was rude about not wanting to fix the order after I asked politely. So, some feedback: clarify your menu, do not be unnecessarily rude to your locals, and do not park your massive red Chevy suv in the only handicap spot you have if you're not disabled. read more

Roberto's Taco Shop - You have a return policy and didn't honor it. - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

About the only thing going for this place is the fact that they are usually open 24/7 and it's next to a college. I ordered a burrito from here on a Friday when they had a line going all the way to the door with drunken 20 somethings. I would describe the ambiance as loud and gross, the food is also gross. The filling of my burrito tasted like the microwave kind and had a similar texture. The service is stressed and probably underpaid for what they deal with in there. Almost anywhere else in town does food better. read more

So - there is a white people tax. Menu - veggie burrito 9.80 - carnitas - which I ordered $10 - my receipt - $4.50 to add carnitas - I'm simple but I'm not dumb - they're robbing you and ask when it happens - done me wrong - not coming back - the lady said it was because of avocado and acted like she didn't know the language - even if true - $4.30 for avocado seems steep read more

Today I used the online ordering system again. This time I had an idea to make sure the order was ready when I arrived: since yelp shows their phone number, after ordering online, I called them and let them know I was on my way and asked them to start my order as soon as possible. The girl located my order and said that she had the order and she would tell the cook. What we ordered: Two Carnitas tacos Two shredded beef burritos Shredded beef chimichanga, no beans It took me about 25 minutes to get here. The food still was not finished, but it was only a couple of minutes waiting. It seems strange that The online ordering system allows you to choose to have your food made ASAP, or pick a later time to have it prepared. This doesn't seem to work. Not sure if they don't get notifications there is an online order or if they just don't give it a priority and tell you arrive. I mean, I do pay online, so the food is paid for. I wish that they would start the order as soon as they got it. But yes, calling in after making the online order send to speed up the process. read more

Very upset! This Robertos tacos shop is by Atlantais casino. We came a very long way to get tacos frome here. We usually live them, however...we got stale tacos, a tiny bit if meat, and it was nothing like we have got un the past 3 years. Sad how people change things, then they wonder why they aren't making as much money. Wecame 2 different days hoping it was just a one time thing, but nopeI terrible read more

Look, if you're drunk and can't taste anything since 2020 covid, this is the place for you! It should be known for its location but bruh. It's downtown, old and dirty. Undercook and sad soggy fries? At the same time? Idk how it can be cold when they "just cooked it". I promise you there are better local places instead of this icky chain. Won't be giving another chance. read more

The part that is OK are the beef tacos. My brother got the Carne Asada burrito and it looked like a mixture of chicken and beef and nothing else. He was completely full. The salsa bar looks kind of watered down and the jalapeños and carrots were marinated, but looked homemade and I kind of liked the canned better. Tables were a little dirty. Food was really reasonable. The area of town is kind of rough, but all in all if you can handle all that I think the food was decent. read more

What a crappy experience. I should have listened to the reviews. Shredded chicken burrito? It's supposed to be grilled. Carnitas taco was wet and fell apart first bite, no moistness whatsoever. Hard shell beef taco was cold. So disappointing. Never again. Took a chance, lost. read more

Whenever Me and my wife have a craving for Mexican food, we usually go here for their rolled tacos, Burritos and Quesadillas! One time they mistakenly gave us an order of Carne Asada Tacos and those were great too. We usually end up going there in the evening. Try not to go there at midnight, because the drive thru will be closed for 15 minutes. Their food is great, but one time they put the Hot food into the styrofoam container and the hot food burnt a hole in it. I may have had another post with pics. read more

I ordered a breakfast burrito. It was well cooked and plenty of it. I also witnessed the counter person give a burrito to a homeless man. This is something you don't see a lot of. I highly recommend this location. read more

I have to tell you I absolutely love this place. Their tacos are amazing probably the best in town fast food or restaurant. They're ingredients are fresh and I'm never unhappy with the quality of the food that I received. Now to get to why I'm giving this location for stars. I am a creature of habit and I go to this location every Wednesday night and take food home for my family. It's kind of a tradition. You go to the same place often enough you start to recognize the people and the cars. Mostly because this location only has five parking spots. Today is the first time in many weeks that there wasn't a black shiny car with a California license plate parked in the handicap zone. Mind you this car is there every time I go to this location, very clearly they work there. The car was there tonight, but for some reason, not parked in the handicap zone probably because Hot August nights is in town, and there's cops everywhere. I went in and there was not a single customer in the place yet. There was only one available parking spot. I know that it sucks to walk, but if your job to keep paying customers to come in and spend their money. Stop parking illegally, leave some spots for the people that make sure your boss has income. read more

I was so disappointed in this place. I had heard such great things. I went to the drive thru (because I've sick and didn't want to expose people). I ordered 2 cheese enchiladas and specifically asked for no sour cream. 3 times just to be sure. I drove all the way home just to unpack it and it is literally filled with sour cream. I decided to drive all the back and explain, I was very nice about it. But they refused to make another dish. Said it was my fault. I had to just throw it in the trash.. The drive thru girl was so rude to me. There are other great mexican places in town. I will go there from now on. I don't like to write bad reviews, honestly, but they clearly could not have cared less about the issue. read more

Ana and Hilda They were excellent. Anna was excellent at customer service and she helped us we come up here quite often from Northern California and it was a great experience. The food was delicious. . We ordered chili Reno rice and beans and taco with rice and beans and it all was delicious. We also had an enchilada a cheese enchilada was phenomenal buttery the rice was delicious. The beans were creamy just yummy. We will definitely be back read more

My go-to is the breakfast burrito, either sausage or bacon. I buy two so I'm covered for the next day. The prices adjusted recently due to ongoing egg shortage with 'U.S. Hens Avian Influenza' and I was a little surprised but know a carton of eggs at Trader Joes are north of $6. I want to give a shout out to the Roberto's team and workers at this 801 N Virginia location. Keep on rocking in the free world! You guys are the best and the burrito always hits right! read more

Came here on NYE after counting down under the Reno arch and it was poppin'! Which meant it must be good. Cashier seemed overwhelmed but I don't blame him with how crowded and hectic it was. The kitchen staff were friendly though and cranked out the orders as quickly as possible and with a smile. Carne asada fries and beef rolled tacos were good and they had a salsa bar with hot carrots. Was just bummed they were out of horchata. read more

Roberto's Taco Shop - Menudo cup - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I used to love this place. However lately it's gone downhill. Chips and guacamole became a container of chips covered in guacamole and cheese. When you scan the whole menu for something vegan, I find it weird they would cover your guacamole and rice in cheese. It was $7.15 for premade guacamole on premade chips and another $3.70 each for a side of rice and beans. $15.75 for chips I had to send back, bland beans, and bland beans. The server was super rude. Super rude. I asked if they had any milder salsa than what was out (usually I get pico or enchilada offered). Nope. It's hot and hotter. I watched the server be continuously rude to the next five customers to come in, and I'm kind of dismayed because this used to be a favorite of mine. Hopefully the other locations are still decent because this is a sad showing of the Roberto's name. read more

I just ordered from Roberto's for the first time. I ordered bean tostada and cheese enchilada to go. Got home within 8 minutes and found everything cold. Cheese wasn't even melted. Beans ice cold. I won't go there again and I had heard good things. They weren't busy so there is no excuse to not have cooked my food. read more

If you're in search authentic mexican food, run don't walk AWAY from this place, garbage. My order: a torta, a Chilli Relleno meal, asada fries, and rolled tacos. 1. Torta - cold, chopped flavorless meat, chopped lettuce and salsa, soggy bread. No tomato, avo, sour cream. I ate half. 2. Chili Relleno - canned beans, bland rice, disgusting canned sauce.....all cold. I ate a bite of each. 3. Asada Fries - again, cold. Same flavorless chopped meat, and cheese. 4. Rolled Tacos - I love going to a Mexican food place and getting frozen rolled tacos. I bagged it, and left it on the ground outside. To be clear, the one star is attributed to the service, the food gets zero stars. read more

This crap can't possibly be considered real Mexican food! The crap I ordered had so much oil and grease that I wanted to take it to Jiffy lube for an oil change! Oil and grease aside, it tasted like they were trying to get even for something. Do yourself and stomach a big favor, AVOID this dump. Hell, even Taco Bell is better than this dump. And I can't believe I'm saying that! If you decide to eat at this dump, bring plenty of Pepto with you, you'll need it! read more
