Roberto’s Taco Shop

Always stop here for a breakfast burrito or some taquitos. Soooo yummy. Excellent food, fast and friendly service.

If I could give negative stars I would. My boyfriend & I went here to eat very late night after I got off of work & we were both starving. He ordered the rolled beef tacos, I ordered the steak tostada. When we got our food & started eating I noticed that more than 50% or more of my meat was way under cooked, & mostly all fatty tendens stuck together in one huge ball. Other customers enjoying their meals next to me noticed me holding it in the air, they we’re disgusted as well. It was as if I had got the end of the scraps bag. I took it back up to the counter & explained how I couldn’t eat it & asked if it was possible to trade in what I had for 1 rolled beef taco. No not 1 order of the tacos… just 1 small rolled beef taco. The chick at the windows body language was as if I had offended her & everyone she worked with. She told me no & that the beef would be the exact same even tho I knew better considering my boyfriends food was just fine. So I asked for my money back & she wouldn’t even do that. So in the end I paid for something I didn’t get to eat & almost threw up from the disgusting overload of tendens & fat. I’ll never go here again, which in turn looses business for the shell. Keep that in mind shell.

Alway a half hour wait. Even when no one is in drive thru. And the girl who usually works the window is rude.

The employees were very pleasant & service was prompt. The carne asada burrito was pretty good. I little too salty but overall pretty tasty. However the rolled tacos had no flavor at all. The meat & guacamole had no taste, the beans it came with didn’t have any flavor either. The only thing that tasted decent was the rice. Even the hot sauce was tasteless. I really wanted to like this place but my food was too disappointing. Unfortunately, next time I’ll have to stick with my original plan of going to Del Taco, haha.

I live less than a 1 minute drive from this place so when my room mates and i want a late night snack we tend to come here because who loves mexican food more than 23 year olds?.. lemme just say, im not even going to put effort into this review, the crew is ALL rude, especially on the late shift, and that pisses me off since I work in Food and Bev as well and am always polite… the crew here needs to work on their attitudes, they’re slow, they’re condescending, the food normally doesn’t even come out correct and I’ll DEFINITELY be going to another place from now on… AND IF I DO COME BACK, AND THIS CREW HAS AN ATTITUDE, IM GONNA REFLECT THEIR SHITTY ATTITUDE SINCE THE 40YR OLD CREW LIKES TO ARGUE LIKE CHILDREN. :~)

Tamales were okay. Fiancé got the chimichanga which was good. If you’re going to eat here, get the chimichanga.

i am a california native where good mexican food comes from so i decided to go try this place out. well when i walked in the door i had to wait 5 minutes until somebody came out to greet me and take my order. but the cashier was very nice and helpful when she finally did come out. it’s too hot here in vegas and i didn’t want to cook.
they have alot to offer on their menu so i decided to try the nachos and a burrito for work tomorrow. the nachos were plenty and probably could eat on them 3 times. lot of chicken, bean, and all the other fixings.
the shredded beef burrito was okay as i had better. everything was made to order so i waited another 10 minutes but that was fine. i probably will try this place again and see what their tacos taste like. being from california my tongue palate knows what good authentic mexican food should taste like.

I sat at the drive thru waiting to place my order and nobody took my order. Last time I will ever go to this roberto’s. It says Mexican fast food. They need to change that to slow as fuck.

I just had the most unpleasant experience at this location. I ordered the carne asade QUESEDILLA, and was given the carne asade fries at the drive thru. When I realized it was the fries, I waited for someone to come back to the window with no luck. So I parked and went inside to get it fixed. I stood at the counter for a couple minutes before someone decided to finally come to the counter to help me. On top of already waiting far too long to be assisted, the lady that helped me was so unbelievably rude to me. I told her the situation and from the get go, she started arguing with me telling me that I ordered the fries. I have never ordered the carne asade fries in my life and was actually ordering for a co-​worker straight from the order she wrote down for me. So I KNOW I ordered the quesadilla. The lady kept blaming me and telling me it was my fault. At this point, I was furious but didn’t want to cause a scene. So I stood there quietly while they made the quesadilla and decided to check the prices of both items and noticed the fries are more expensive than the quesadilla. Typically, I am the type of person to just shrug it off and not worry about the price difference. However, when she handed me the food with attitude and immediately walked away without offering any type of compensation for the price difference, I decided I had enough of being treated like crap and wanted my money back. As she was walking away, I had to grab her attention again and she was NOT pleased. I explained to her the price difference and immediately she threw her hands in the air and said again «it’s not my fault you said fries». I was so baffled that someone would treat a customer so badly no matter whose fault it was that the order was wrong. No matter who is at fault, I came in here calmly to get the issue fixed. I did not deserve to be treated the way she was treating me. She then said something to one of her co-​workers (which she had likely been talking badly about me the whole time– too bad I don’t understand Spanish). He told her the price difference between the items and she opened the register and basically threw a dollar at me and said «Here». Mind you, the price difference is $ 1.15 and I was charged the tax on the more expensive item. Again, I normally blow this kind of thing off especially because it really wasn’t a big price difference. However, no customer should EVER be treated the way I was treated no matter who was at fault for the order being wrong. At this point, I only wish I would have made a bigger scene and demanded a full refund and ate somewhere else.

This location is quite near the Nest, and I’ve been eating here since before the Orchid Stop/​Sinclair station was bought out by Green Valley Grocery/​Shell (when the gas prices were cheaper). So, on with the review.
In the interest of full disclosure, I will state that the Great Bearded Bird is allergic to avocado is all its forms.
I’ve ordered the carne asada nachos numerous times (specifically ordered WITHOUT guacamole), the shrimp cocktail a few times (also without caterpillar guts in any form), and the flautas/​rolled tacos/​whatever they call them a couple of times. Never any complaints. Super-​duper-​classy? No. Decent food at a decent price? Definitely. The condiment bar is a nice touch (I do tend to eat the carrots in escabeche, and the scallions). And, if you aren’t in the mood for a standard fountain soda, you can grab a can or bottle from the gas station convenience store that’s in the same building.
I’ve been back, and unless something quite untoward happens, will continue to do so.

On the Nighthawk 100-​point scale: 88.

I ordered on the phone before I drove here to pick up the food. The guy that tommy order was kind of a @&$% but, I’m stupid and I ordered anyway.
I didn’t realize that it’s in a gas station. My son is the Roberto’s expert and he said he likes this one or the one down the street. I disregarded my initial instincts not to eat at a gas station.
First of all, the food had zero flavor. The enchiladas (which I have had at Roberto’s plenty of times) were full of onions and green peppers. Literally! I didn’t order a veggie plate.
Second, the food had no flavor.
Third, I became so sick after ingesting this garbage. I was weeping from the razor sharp pain in my intestines … It was quite intense. I got sick and felt horrible the rest of the night.
That’s what I get for eating at a gas station!!! Ugh!

Go to robertos all the time and like this location so decided to give a good review. Its located inside the litle mini mart. Whenever I go the employees are always very nice and patient with me seeing as how I useually order about $ 30 worth of food off memory (dang my forgetfullness i.e. list) My order has never been once wrong which is very important due to hypersensitive eater towards onions in my family. So definately stop in if your craving some good tacos and the churros are worth a try :)

I was extremely disappointed in this place!!! Tasteless, disgusting food? If you could call it that! My boyfriend and i got sick! I seriously threw up at the site of his food. no lie, i gagged and got sick! My shredded «beef» was Dry, had no flavor, was a weird red color .it was strange the beef was dry & leathery beef but bun was soggy ?? My boyfriends carnitas plate was actually carne asada they got his order wrong… A. d the beans were runny and loojed like diverting that belongs in a toilet!!! Horrible experience! Worst Mexican food ever!!! I wouldn’t even give it one star

Although it isn’t the classiest one, the food is always great, the workers polite, and very clean.
They like on the gauc and cheese, and never over cook. I hate it when the tortillas are darker brown, haven’t had one yet like that here.
My new go to Roberto’s. Ps tip them, they appreciate it, and the gauc glows even freer. :)

I’ve been meaning to update my review for months now. This Roberto’s is on the way home from work w/​a drive-​through, so it makes for a very convenient take-​away on those really long days! The food has gotten much better the last few months! The husband always chooses the chicken chimichanga, I typically choose rolled tacos & sometimes a few other additions… The rolled tacos are consistently good. The chips & cheese are also tasty. The beans at this location are typically good– the rice is «fine».
I give it 4 stars because the food is good, fast, & convenient!

First I need to say that I LOVE Roberto’s, it is my new favorite Taco Bell/​Del Taco etc. Since moving here in Feb. 12′ I can say that it is certainly my favorite little drunken munchies spot.
Now, on to this specific Roberto’s. This is the third location that I have tried so far and this one is by FAR the worst; and this is coming after a couple pitchers with the munchies raging! I ordered the rolled tacos with gauc which tasted just like the other 2, hence why they got 1 of the stars. The other star is because the food was served very quickly, but alas, I believe this is why my second dish was not great.
I got the cheese enchilada meal. The sauce tasted okay, but the main problem was the cheese was not even melted inside, just a bunch of shredded cheese that I did not enjoy inside my luke-​warm enchilada. My friend also ordered our ‘GO TO’ meal, chimichanga, mmm mmm mmm; however, at this Roberto’s it was bleh bleh bleh! The tortilla was not fried nearly enough, the chicken was wet, not moist, wet, and overall it was barely even warm.
I have marked this Roberto’s off my list and will not return, which is a shame, because I was hoping to make it my local spot on Tuesdays as it’s less than a mile from my local bar.

I feel kind of slimy giving this place, located in a gas station, 4 stars, but 3 just wouldn’t be right. Same old Roberto’s that’s located on every corner in town, but with a drive-​thru and open ²⁴⁄₇ — you can’t beat that. I’d actually give them 5 stars, but they don’t speaka that great and they’re pretty slow. But the food’s damn good, cheap and totally worth the wait.
Their breakfast burritos are huge and stuffed full of eggs, bacon, cheese, pico, potatoes and can easily feed two (unless you’re a big eater). And their super nachos are loaded with cheese, carne, beans, sour cream, guac, jalapenos and are ginormous!
I don’t think they speaka good Ingles here though. Each time I’ve been through the drive through, I ask for red sauce and always get green sauce.

BIG, THICK, BURRITOS!
OK, so I’ve had the carne asada fries which are totally BOMB! I ordered a california burrito this time, I was pumped… and let down! WTF! ANY Calif burrito I’ve had included: fries, carne asada, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese (pico if you like it) This one only had cheese and freakin carne asada! I was pretty pissed! I ate only half because the tortilla tasted sweet and was just irritated! I really dont want to pay 5 $ for meat and cheese! UGH!
Go for the carne asada fries! The plus is they are open 24hrs and have a drive through!

Good ol’ reliable. Open 24 hours in the south west corner of Charleston and Buffalo with the gas station right next door. I usually work really late into the odd hours of the night and what makes this location even more convenient is their drive thru!
The prices are affordable, the location if very clean, and this is one of the few 24 hour food stops within this area.
I’ll take my steak, chicken, or carnitas the way it is: perfectly well made with friendly service.

Having lived in San Diego for awhile, I know all about the «Bertos».
There’s a billion of these types of Mexican food places in San Diego: Adalberto’s, Himiberto’s, Wookieeberto’s, Ernie and Berto’s…
Okay, so the last two I made up, but there’s still a billion Berto’s variants in San Diego.
«But what about my experience in Vegas», you ask? I’m getting to that. After a night of drinking, I stopped by Roberto’s in the Sinclair gas station.
It’s the same stuff. The same blessed stuff as I’d find in San Diego. And the rolled tacos with cheese and guacamole are just as good.
So is this food merely tasty only with the extra alcoholic kick? I couldn’t help myself. After being reminded about how enjoyable the flavor was, I went back without drinkage, and still just as good.
The food is value priced, tasty, and consistently dependable, right down to the little salsa bar. It’s not gas station fare. It just happens to be located inside the gas station. Don’t let the setting scare you off.
It’s not life changing, but it is good fast food, and a nice continuations of one of my old late-​night traditions that has carried over to my new hometown.
But after a late night of socializing, there’s not much better that hits the spot.
