Santarosa Taco Stop

Well, we went to this location because the location off Basic was not operational due to no electricity. This was around 3pm today. So, we decided to go to this location and let me just say… NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. Ordered nachos and rolled taco supreme. The portions were small and not pleasing to the eye but the BIGGEST complaint that caused us to throw away $ 14+ of food in the trash was the fact that the rolled tacos were piping HOT. So HOT that it completely melted through the bottom and sides of the styrofoam container. There was no protecting sheet/​aluminum foil under neath and it was the HOT oil that didn’t feel the greatest on the skin. The nachos had a sheet but still had melted styrofoam in areas. Didn’t feel the need to search nor eat around my food to avoid certain areas. So, there is my honest experience at this place. Customer service was not the issue. Unfortunately, it was the preparation and appearance of our meal that caused this a low rating.

Stopped here on a whim while driving into the city from Lake Las Vegas. Ended up going two other times on our trip. Amazing food — friendly staff. My new favorite Mexican joint–

I’m so happy to be back within a mile of this hidden gem!!! Blows Robertos out of the water

Nothing special. Polite and quick service, but the food was very mediocre.

They have two locations, but only one I can conveniently walk to! When I am out, their drive-​thru in BOTH locations are super handy ;) Love their traditional food, especially their breakfast burritos… plus they’re nice guys to boot!
P. S. #2 location is just East of Water Street, on Basic.

You get what you pay for. $ 7.50 got me two chicken tacos and two beef enchiladas. The food lacked spices and was a bit bland but not bad enough to complain. The guys seemed fun and good music playing and TV.

I got the carnitas plate and horchata. It was awesome. This place has some of the most authentic Mexican food I have found in the Las Vegas area. So happy I decided to stop here

Authentic taqueria in Henderson! First time here, it’s nothing fancy and this is why I love it. Quality food, clean atmosphere, and reasonably priced makes for a great establishment.

Got here right before they close at 9pm. My husband and I are staying at the lake Las Vegas resorts and were a little hesitant to eat at the resorts due to the high prices. It’s definitely a hole-​in-​the-​wall place but it’s really tasty, authentic Mexican food. The men were very sweet and quick. Ordered a Carne Asada torta ($ 4.95) and my husband ordered an Al Pastor Burrito ($ 5.40) Very reasonable pricing. Definitely can’t beat the prices compared to eating in the resorts. 4 stars, not 5 due to cleanliness.

First time there. The food is mediocre. The meat is a low quality cut. Not skirt steak. Chile relleno was hard. Rice was old and flowery like dough. Still haven’t found a good place here in town salsa is watery very watery

Real Mexican food. Reminds me of home, San Jose CA, city where the best Mexican food is served outside of Mexico. They use fresh meat, the owner is very friendly. Carne asada, pollo, and pesco is good! Try it all!

Fabulous food and super nice employees! Love love love!!! (This location is the BEST!)

Excellent Menudo!

I’ve passed Santa Rosa many times in the past and have wondered if it was good. When Jessie B told me how much her husband and herself loved it I knew I had to give it a try.
If you aren’t looking for Santa Rosa you just might miss it. It’s a tiny building in between a 7 – 11 and a boat shop. They even have a drive thru. Inside is your standard Mexican taco shop. I immediately saw they had a pastor Chimichanga that came with rice and beans. I also ordered a cheese enchilada and chicken taco combo for my mom. The pastor Chimichanga was crispy and covered in guacamole and sour cream. The pastor was tender and full of that chili lime flavor that I love. The beans and rice were perfect too. My mom’s order was cheesy which she enjoyed. Her chicken taco also had great flavor.
If you aren’t feeling like getting out of your car Santa Rosa even has a drive thru. I can’t wait to go back for another chimichanga. I’ve also heard they have a killer breakfast burrito! Yay for Santa Rosa! Yummy food and at prices that won’t break the bank! Plus, it’s right in my Hendertucky hood.

I’ve never had a problem my family loves this place when ever I’m in the area I stop by and the cooks are always pleasant and they work very fast

Was a fan until a bad experience. Attempted to call in an order for pick up, no answer. Placed order through drive thru. Was told that they’re out of rice. Really? Mexican restaurant out of rice? Got home to find out that my order was incomplete (they forgot to include order of french fries), one of the combos was ordered no lettuce (lettuce was not held), and the side of nachos were old, stale, and cold.
Will not risk this place again.

99 CENTS BEEF OR CHICKEN TACOS
Not to forget a $ 2.50 beef burrito. If you compare my neighborhood taco shop to Taco Bell or Del Taco, I would give the edge to Santarosa Taco Stop. Yu-​go chauffeur told me to order anything I wanted… like hey big spender with $ 10 gripped in my hand. LoL
What the heck, let’s try the chicken, beef tacos and the their beef burrito. Ifs apparent that the method of pan frying the taco shells are different. Beef is a flat stiff corn tortilla shell while the chicken is pan fried the old fashion way. Beef is blended with a filler which I assume is bean. Beef burrito is excellent in size and weight. If you’re interested in getting the most value for the meat content, I would recommend the beef burrito.
The complimentary pickled carrot and onions are cooked. I did notice that their condiment stand was stocked full while the Basic location was ignored and empty.
Most important: both locations have drive up window service. They will accommodate your customer low rider or your Rolls Royce (Celine’s).

Mexican Food, as the signage states, is actually another Santa Rosa Taco Shop that serves up some fantastic and inexpensive Mexican grub. I am a huge fan of the other Santa Rosa Taco Shop in Henderson, but this location is closer to my house so it has become my go-​to stop for quick tacos, tortas and burritos.
Blink and you may miss it, as it’s tucked slightly behind a convenience store, but even if you pass it this is one stop worth making a u-​turn for. The employees are friendly, the portions are large and the prices are right. Santa Rosa serves up my favorite breakfast burritos in town. just as large as the other places in town, for less money, and the cheese is always fully melted. (That’s my breakfast burrito pet peeve, unmelted cheese.)
This isn’t the classiest joint, the ambiance is a bit lacking… but the food is legit. The sign outside should really be revised to say Best Mexican Food. It’s that good.

This place is a hop, skip, and a jump from my house. It looks a place you might not want to go at night, but it’s totally cool and safe. Recently somebody graffiti’d on it «Be Free» so there is definitely a hooligan or two roaming about, but it’s a positive set of hooligans. Henderson’s answer to Banksy, I tell ya.
Anyway, this place far surpasses any Roberto’s, ever. Cheese enchiladas to go, plz. The enchilada sauce is super flavorful, if lacking in the spice department. I cover it in the salsas that they give you, but also the guac. The guac is more of a sauce than a dip, but it’s really, really good.
Also, the roll-​up tacos. Delicious. And Dr Pepper? Don’t tell anybody, but I indulge in the occasional alcoholic beverage, and Dr Pepper and Mexican food are my hangover cures. Santarosa does the trick every time.
If you’re on your way to Lake Mead or Lake Las Vegas, it’s worth the stop!

This place is about 2 minutes from our house, and we have been coming here for 3 years. We only found out it was called «Santa Rosa Taco Shop» after we had been at least a dozen times, when we finally used a check card to pay and got a receipt with the name on it. We call it Mexican Food, because that’s what the sign says out front.
This place is excellent, and you get a lot of food for the money. We get chimichangas and enchiladas frequently. The carne asada fries are excellent. But, I recently started getting breakfast burritos and I highly recommend them. Better than Roberto’s. This place is well worth finding.
