Last minute craving and felt bad going in before closing, yet we were still greeted with a smile. Ordered a veggie and Cali burrito with a side of potato roll tacos . Food was delicious!!!!!!!!!! The salsas were spicy and flavorful. Thank you for taking our order and making tasty food. read more

Highly over priced for a basic burrito. Just carne asada guacamole and pico de gallo. It's very dry. You have Mexico right down the street and you have this horrible quality of Mexican food. God bless the Mexicans in Los Angeles. We have great Mexican food up there. read more

I had a great experience at Roberto's! Ordered a feast and enjoyed every bit. California burrito was perfect for me, the adobada taco was delicious, and taquitos were good too. Honestly, we enjoyed every bite, thank you! read more

Surf and turf burrito was excellent. Shrimp were perfectly cooked and plump and juicy.

First time at this location. Sausage egg and cheese burrito was loaded with eggshells. Tossed it. Maybe just a bad day for them but I won't be going back. read more

Avoid this place. On March 22, 2026, around 8:45 AM, I walked in and was told they don't open until 9:00 AM--which is fine. However, when I politely asked if I could wait inside, the employee immediately told me "no" and ordered me to leave. The entire interaction was in Spanish, so there was no misunderstanding. When I asked why the door was open if customers weren't allowed in, he responded, "I was waiting for someone to ask me that," with a smug, confrontational tone. His demeanor was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. This wasn't just about being closed--it was about how a potential customer was treated. If this is how they handle a simple interaction, I have no interest in giving them my business. There are plenty of places that treat people with basic respect--this is not one of them read more

Got the California Burrito! It was amazing! Fast service and friendly cashier, I'll be coming back!

Roberto's...WTF!!! I will say I love Roberto's. I go out of my way to go to them. I reccommend them to everyone. Today...I had the worst experience. The burritos were MUCH MUCH SMALLER!! Very noticably. So salty it was almost inedible. Ingredients were lacking. Hardly any guac, very dry, not sure what happened here. I ate the whole thingbecause we paid so much for them, but if this is the new norm, I won't be going out of my way anymore. read more

Review for the breakfast burritos only. I've been here many times over the years and Roberto's always delivers on their breakfast burritos. I love getting the hashbrown deluxe which has all the different meats, eggs, cheese and hashbrowns. It comes out hot and loaded with all the goods. It is quite large so you have to be pretty hungry but it's delicious. There is a self serve salsa station. I like the 2 mild green and red salsas. There is a hot red which is good but really spicy. read more

Was in the area and was hungry, between Roberto's and Jack? Robby's WINS!! But run it back, it was 9:26 when I walked in, the place was being clean and it was CLEAN! Dude cleaning was very polite telling me they were already closed! ‍ If I was working I would wanna get out of there in time and I've been coming to Robs forever so I wasn't gonna make an issue out of it! I wish I was offered something like that"hey, we can only make roll tacos or chips or something instead of just CLOSED! lol... But Roberto's is an institution in SD, will be back!! read more

One of my favorite to go places when I am at work around this area. My favorite entree are the California burrito with guacamole added, beef, menudo (very authentic), chicken tostada bowl and their rolled tacos with everything on top. Their rice and beans are good too! Everything is always cook fresh after you place your order and it's usually less than 15 minutes wait. My other favorite part of the restaurant is their salsa bar, it is soooo good! They have green, red and mild salsa. You can tell they make their hot sauces in house and I always pack extra to use with my other meals plus I love hot sauces. The restaurant is always clean and tidy when I visit. Plenty of parking spots and tables/seats. The staff are always friendly. You can pay with card, cash or apps on the phone such as Apple Pay etc. read more

As a Mexican American, who grew up eating Mexican food lol I can confidently say that this place good. The carne asada is seasoned amazingly. Everything we order was delicious. I had the tostada with carne asada, my son had the asada fries, and my partner had burrito de adobada. The salsas have great flavor and a slight kick to it. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The original Roberto's with all the old classic recipes! Very clean fast service and great food.

Back at Roberto's after several months. Completely disappointed today. ATTENTION!!!! Ownership has decided to raise prices AND reduce the portions at the same time! I looked at recent pictures posted by other customers and it's clear that I'm not the only person who shares the same opinion. I'll be glad to pay for quality and consistency, but if the goal is to stay in business by ripping off your customers, then you just lost one. Please note the size of the burrito next to the salsa containers I had. read more

Disappointing to say the least. $15 for California burrito with added guacamole. French Fries were old and stale and meat was salty. Pico de gallo in salsa bar was too spicy for a basic tomato salsa and also salty which was weird. Just not good at all!! If I had eaten it there I would have asked for a refund. read more

Fair prices and fair portions for two very large tacos. Grabbed a bite here for lunch while staying at a nearby hotel. My only complaint was an overwhelming scent of cleaning products but hard to direct points for cleanliness. read more

Roberto's in Mission Bay serves up a California burrito worthy of the chain that invented it. This one was huge, loaded with flavorful carne asada, crispy fries, and the classic toppings that made the style famous. It was very, very good -- just not quite at the level of some of the newer spots that have pushed the burrito game forward. That said, Roberto's nails convenience and consistency, and if I were close by, I wouldn't think twice about stopping in. read more

I've been to this location a few times, and there's definitely room for improvement. The Cali burrito, for example, could use better seasoning and more ingredients like guacamole and actual carne asada. The current meat doesn't taste like real carne asada and has a mushy texture. The portions also don't quite justify the $13 price tag -- definitely an area that could be improved. On a positive note, the salsas are delicious and exactly what you'd expect from a good Mexican spot. Service, however, could be better. When taking phone orders, it would help to ask for the customer's name to avoid mix-ups -- no one wants their food given to someone else, especially when they're hungry. Also, please don't hang up on customers while they're still speaking; it leaves a poor impression. The ambiance could also use some attention. The place should be cleaner, and it would be great if the salsa bar were covered to prevent exposure to airborne germs and flies. Cleanliness and hygiene are especially important in a restaurant setting. Overall, I do hope they take the feedback to heart -- there's potential here if they make a few changes. read more

worst place ever 42 bucks for 2 carne asada fries and they weren't even full looks like they js did it in a rush never going there again !

This Roberto's location is in the same center with Fig Tree Cafe, Food 4 Less, and a Jack in the Box. Plenty of parking in this lot. They have indoor and outdoor seating. 1 restroom, but you need to request the key. They have a chunky mild salsa, green mild salsa, and an extra spicy red salsa that makes me regret using too much the next day. Their food has been consistently good and service is pretty fast. If you are on the go, call in the order and it will be ready by the time you arrive. At night, it's still pretty well lit, so go whenever there is a craving. I always come here for breakfast burritos whenever possible. My goto is the Hashbrown Deluxe and topping it off with a mix of extra spicy red and mild green salsas. One time I went and there was even a duck outside. read more

We once lived in San Diego and now when we visit we always make a stop at this place. The California Burritos are decent, the red salsa is yummy spicy, and the Horchata is bottomless if you ask politely. Service always comes with a smile and its classic taco shop ambiance with a crowd of working people stopping in for some solid food. read more

This place is definitely average. Nothing special about the place. Food 3/5: The carne asada fries were decent but when asked half order or full order, we ordered a full but definitely was a small portion. Especially for the price point. Seating 5/5: Plenty of seating but not needed since it's normally empty. Salsa bar 3/5: Salsa bar is a plus but salsa is average. Service ?/5: Don't know what to rate it. Cashier wasn't rude or nice. Just there. read more

Some of the best burritos in all of SD. Lots of meat and no filler. Even better is the red hot sauce. It is absolutely amazing. If you like something with a kick this is it. read more

Do not eat here. Workers are eating food and then handling uncooked items for customer without washing their hands. GROSS.

I came here because of the 7.49 with tax bean and cheese. I left a 12% tip at the register. The cashier not only entered the order of the person behind first. He served the person behind me first. I asked where's my order he replied thats not it. I observed how the cashier working the register treated other guests besides me. You could clearly tell the diffrence. If you are brown dont come here they treat you like crap. The cashier was working at 10.10am read more

SHRINKFLATION ALERT. The carne asada burrito was TINY. I was there 2 days ago and the burrito was bigger. It's the same price $14 but today the carne asada burrito was laughably minuscule. I halved it with my bf and took a pic. It's great flavor and the place isn't horrible to eat inside (just ignore the floor and the occasional homeless) but these burritos took a hit from the economy! read more

Chill lil place with tasty and authentic food. Music can be a bit over-the-top. Whenever I'm craving rolled taquitos, this is the spot. Crunchy and cheesy. The afternoon times I've been here, it's been quick service and no long lines. Good place for a quick bite before the night life. Always have left satisfied. read more

Visiting town. First meal while visiting and the fish taco was recommended. The fish is a fried but all the toppings were delicious. Then I also tried the creamy shrimp taco. It had a kick and was also really good. My husband had the rolled tacos. It is a meal with rice and refried beans. I say it's worth the stop. It looks like this place has been here a long time. We were able to walk in early afternoon avx put in an order. We took it back home and enjoyed it all. read more

The best taco shop around! Their rolled tacos are delicious! Line can be long but you know why-it's such a great place!

I've noticed the food has somehow absorbed the flavor of the cleaning agents they use. You can smell the chemical walking by outside. I would also note that they don't open at seven am. I walk by the place at seven-ish M-F and it's never open at that time. Today I witnessed two employees waiting for the place to open and was way past their opening time. The service is good but I won't be back due to the Fabuloso cleaner taste in the food. read more

Delicious food as always and service is hella fast and friendly. I love it. I had my breakfast burrito in about 3 minutes. Excellent staff at this spot always. read more

Probably one of the best values in mission valley. Usually consistent good food and service. Make sure you call ahead for lunch orders or other business times. My favorites so far are the CA chips, even though the fries are good too. The tacos are decent as well as most of the burritos. With the exception of the surf and turf, I'd recommend walking across the street to the food truck for anything seafood related. Top 3 go to items: 1. Hashbrown deluxe 2. Chimichanga burrito 3. Bean and cheese. Recommend! read more

I go to Roberto's with friends because it is right across the street from where I work. It's a decent mexican fast food place. Generally busy at lunchtime. The servers are friendly. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is kept clean. Outdoor seating can be dusty because of the wind. Unfortunately, for them once in a while homeless people in the area can be distracting. The food is generally good but feels a bit overpriced. I like most of the things I've gotten there before. I got a bean and cheese burrito and it was decent. It's a good size. Roll tacos are good but I think probably a dollar or so higher than other places I go. I had a torta there before and it took forever to get cooked and then the bun was burnt. I didn't return it because I didn't have time. But based on that experience, I don't know that I would eat a torta there again. the shredded chicken burrito is very good and is a good deal. Overall not a bad place to eat. read more

Since I eat at the OG location frequently, I decided to try the Mission Valley location as I was in the area. I think the only similarities between the two is the name on the building and product they are providing. The prices are way more expensive here. That being said, the food was still solid. I only ordered 5 rolled tacos and a small fountain drink but it still came out to 13 bucks. Normally I spend 7ish at the Chula Vista location for this. The rolled tacos were good and have a decent ratio of beef to tortilla. My favorite thing is that they were freshly fried and came out piping hot! The salsa bar offered 3 serve yourself salsas, 2 red and a green. The inside was very clean however the cashier was not the friendliest. Not much more to add, wish prices were more in line with other locations. THREE STARS. read more

Behind Jack and the Box. Parking lot was easy. Booth seats were available not the most comfortable but plenty of room. Seating for 32 indoors. Value is not the best because the quality is not. Service was friendly and fast. A bit noisy from the kitchen and the overhead mexican music. Cool temperature, clean, well lit, one TV not on, menu has a lot of options a bit hard for me to read because the font is normal but not large font. 7 customers at 8pm on a Saturday. ~$18 for 3 rolled tacos - I like the cotija cheese but the beef was not so good and the salsas are not so great. I got a carne asada taco with just yellow cheese the meat was not too salty and not dry it had flavor and the tortilla was fine it came with more cheese than I actually wanted. Horchata is good, I added ice from the vending machine, the cashier filled the cup and refills are not free but that is ok because horchata comes with enough sugar to make me leave happy. I'll be back. read more
