Robertos Taco Shop

Guilty pleasure. When I’m in the mood for the best tasting/​most unhealthy Mexican takeout, this is my stop.
I highly recommend the carne asada nachos, chicken tacos– roles and crunchy shell. Almost everything comes smothered in your choice of sour cream or guacamole and cheese. Need I say more?
This location is relatively new and I feel like it’s cleanliness is better than some of the other locations.
So if you’re looking for a cheat meal, give them a try.

24 hour tacos? Yes please.
This place is a modest spot in the middle of a strip mall, seats about 2 dozen, and has a little self serve (I think? I hope?) mini buffet nook for peppers and veggies and whatnot.
The dude working here was nice enough, but the real point we care about is the food, huh?
I got the shredded beef burrito, which was tasty, but wet/​soggy and not exactly overly flavorful. We also got the chicken chimichanga, which was huge, stuffed with a ton of chicken and cheese. Lastly was the shredded beef enchilada plate, which had a ton of onions, despite being told otherwise.
Overall, if you order a plate, the portions are huge. 3 stars because it’s satisfying and a decent price, but not memorable.

Delicious Mexican food, plentiful portions, very. affordable and served quickly with a smile. This was our first time in to this location and we were very pleased.
The restaurant was clean. Comfortable seating, easy to read menu. I ordered the Carnitas plate that came with two enormous tortillas, and I also ordered a beef tamale. My wife ordered a fish taco and a chicken tamale. The food and sauces were delicious like what I grew up with. Excellent value.
I would have liked access to pico de gallo and more flavorful salsa on the bar that offered serve-​yourself salsa, hot peppers, carrots, scallions and cucumbers.
In summary, this is our new favorite Mexican food joint!!! Food is very good, the portions are big, prices are very reasonable and the people inside are friendly. If you like Mexican (not Tex-​Mex) food, stop in and give them a try. You’ll like it!

Roberto’s Taco Shop
Always friendly faces. Great food. Easy-​going with brightly colored walls. You can’t go wrong getting this kind of Mexican food. True spirit of Mexico. Mexican food is awesome.

Early morning breakfast, we bump into a Mexican joint that serves breakfast ²⁴⁄₇. I guess that’s typical of Nevada to have crazy long hours.
Onto the food, we got the machaca burrito, that’s shredded beef, onions, bell peppers, eggs and all wrapped in a large flour tortilla. Temperature wise, this burrito is insanely scalding and for whatever reason holds the temperature for quite some time. The more important details is the beef was tender, the amount of food is filling and all for just $ 4. I’ve also had their machaca made with chicken and their regular chicken burrito.
They also have a salsa bar and their salsa verde pairs really well with the burritos. This location also has a large outdoor patio area, which allowed us to enjoy the nice weather in November. Coming from California, I really like this Mexican joint.

This Mexican-​food lover is adding Roberto’s to my top ten favorite Mexican food restaurants of all time. Yes, it is just counter-​service, and the service is neither here nor there, but the food is muy bueno! Get chips and cheese (simply tortilla chips with a dusting of grated melted cheddar) and anything carnitas. The salsa bar is fresh and clean, and they have horchata and (a bit too sweet) aqua frescas.

My friend and I were famished and craving Mexican food on our way back from a day trip to Death Valley National Park, which is beautiful but doesn’t have the greatest restaurant scene.
Middling-​at-​best Unilocal reviews steered us away from the Mexican eateries in Pahrump, and we initially stopped at another Mexican place that advertised being open but wasn’t at 5:15 p.m. on a Sunday. I’d expected I’d have to settle at Roberto’s, but I can’t imagine anything else we’d have visited would be better.
The size of my chicken burrito surprised me, given that it costs less than $ 4. The chicken wasn’t too dry, yet the burrito wasn’t greasy or otherwise overly filled with fat. The restaurant has one type of red salsa — a really spicy one, which I liked. I ordered a bean tostada, not knowing that the burrito alone could have been divided into two meals. The tostada, too, was a great value at less than $ 3.
Our food was served quickly; it no doubt helped that we were the only two people in the restaurant. My only quibbles with the place are that a.) the styrofoam cup I was given for my water was tiny, and b.) the only napkins available are the ones you’re eventually given with your food. I spilled on myself at the salsa bar and had to wait to clean up.
Roberto’s is open 24 hours, which would have come in more handy for me back when I worked nights. It’s good to see there’s a quality option for those who do work different hours.

Food was okay. Beans were very salty, tacos were good but not exceptional. I would return but not a favorite.

35+ years of patronizing Roberto’s in San Diego and in Las Vegas is now finished. Why? Roberto, you can thank your employees at the shop located on Cactus (just East of So. Highlands Parkway), in Las Vegas.
Earlier this month (March, 2015) while waiting for my food, a female employee began vigorously sweeping the entry rug located INSIDE the front door. She swept in the direction of the condiment island and the service counter, all the while oblivious to the cloud of dust she was creating in the room. In a matter of seconds, the entire room was engulfed in dust. It was so bad, in fact, that I was compelled to go outside, where I could breathe.
Not only did the dust settle on the condiment cart and its contents, but it migrated into the kitchen where my food was being prepared. NOTHING was said by any employee about the dust cloud as it lingered in the kitchen AND SETTLED ON MY FOOD. It was DISGUSTING! DISGUSTING DISGUSTING!
This experience has led to my loss of confidence and trust in the cleanliness of Roberto’s shop and the safe preparation of food at this location. It has also caused me to doubt the manner in which Roberto’s other shops are being operated.
Hasta la vista Roberto!

This place totally sucked!
When I first walked in, it seemed okay, but when I went to the restroom to wash my hands, there were filthy paper towels all over the place and it was just disturbing.
I didn’t let that get to me because I figured maybe they just didn’t clean it after a huge crowd came in or something lame.
So we ordered the taco salad special (which was way overpriced), chips and salsa and the Carnitas plate. The chips were totally saturated with oil, The Carnitas was disturbing with all the grease at the bottom of the plate and it cost way too much.
The chick behind the counter didn’t seem interested, even forgot to give us our cup for the soft drink machine.
Definitely two thumbs down. Save yourself a bunch of money and find a roving taco truck, less heartburn from grease and more bang for your buck.

Get Carne asada fries :3 !!

The absolute best robertos in Vegas been to many and for some reason this location has th we freshest ingredients and good service…

the best breakfast burrito. they are always friendly and nice. Fast service. ALWAYS GOING BACK!!!

For a chain food place, this place tops all of the other Mexican fast food places in Vegas. The owner and all if the employees are cool people and they will change the food to how ever you want it. I give this place a double thumbs up. The crane asada fries are my personal favorite and are ‘da bomb’

I’ve been to Roberto ’ s twice. beef chimichangas are pretty good. packed with peppers and onions for In your face flavor. only complaint is that the platters do not come with enough rice & beans. Also, the chimichangas are kinda soggy. but that’s probably because they cover them with sour cream & guacamole. I’ll have to remember to request them putting it on the side.

This place was really good. A little pricey, every time we ordered something shed put in one number which was on the menu and then add a few more cents-​a dollar which was kinda shady since we actually removed stuff from what we wanted (no sour cream, no cheese etc)
The staff was not friendly. I talked to two girls neither one even spoke except to tell me my total, or that our order was ready.
The chips were pretty expensive $ 3 something but really tasty. Salsa selection sucked. They have one red and one green both liquids, no chunky salsa or any other kind, just super hot red saucy stuff and green saucy stuff. There were a lot of other condiments, there were green onions, radishes, cucumbers jalapeños, and carrots.
Overall I really liked this place and I’m glad we found it and that its 24hrs!

Meh– the food is ok and the staff is ok– nothing special here for sure. With so many other choices for quick Mexican eateries this place is just not worth the heartburn– plus the overall seating area is really gross
