Roberto’s Taco Shop

I went to a Roberto’s on Durango and Warm Springs, ordered a bean and cheese burrito which came to $ 3.08 with tax… I paid with my debit card with no issue and left a tip.
I came to this Roberto’s across from UNLV, ordered the same bean and cheese burrito, total came to $ 3.08 and was told if my order is less than $ 5 they’ll charge me a $ 1 fee to use my debit card. That really annoyed me, how petty. I ended up adding two chicken tacos (that I didn’t want) to my order to get it up to the $ 5 because I refuse to pay a fee to use my debit card. I gave the two tacos to a bum sitting outside of the front door.
Needless to say, they did not get a tip.

My go to spot if I want a quick Mexican lunch or a breakfast burrito. I always get the breakfast burrito a bit later ish in the morning cause it’s at times it’s super busy. Wednesday are their busiest days in my opinion.
Other than that their carne asada burrito could be better but you get what you pay for.
Their carne asada fries are really good, it’s becoming my go to spot if I’m craving that, and it’s location is great for UNLV students or ppl around Maryland in between Tropicana and Flamingo.
I see this as must to try seeing that there is a number of Roberto’s around the LV area.

I love Roberto’s. It’s perfect for any occasion. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Hangovers.
Pretty much anything on the menu is going to be delicious. My little go to is the Carne Asada Chimichanga. It runs about $ 7.50 but you get a huge fried burrito. Normally, they just slightly dip it in oil and it’s still soft. Couple this with the fact that they slap the guacamole and the sour cream right on the thing, you end up with a wet burrito.
The expert tip is to ask for it extra crispy and with the accouterments on the side. That way, you have a crispy chimichanga and you can add the sour cream and guacamole when you are ready, instead of letting it seep into your food. As a side, it doesn’t hurt to get their chips and salsa as well. It also hits the spot.
Do your best Mission Impossible impersonation to get your green /​red salsa and limes without touching the sneeze guard or dipping your hands in the food. Another pro tip (from my fiancée), you get the best mix of heat and flavor if you 4 little cups of green salsa with 1 cup of red and add 4 – 5 limes.

Best cheap 24 hour taco place in town. Always good after a night of drinking, greasy, carb filed, hangover curing goodness. Try the Carne Asad fries, or the dollar tacos on Wednesday. Get the green sauce from the salsa bar. You’ll thank yourself.

I found the staff to be very friendly, the pricing was excellent. Be aware of the carrots and red hot sauce though, those 2 together equals one hot mouth! The green salsa was much milder. I would go back again when in Vegas :)

There are times where you want tacos that don’t come from Taco Bell or Del Taco, so you find the next best thing — Roberto’s.
There are actually quite a few Roberto’s Taco Shop locations throughout Las Vegas, however this one is convenient for me because it’s right near UNLV. Everyone knows that the area around UNLV is sketchy, especially at night. So if you go here in the late PM/​early AM hours of the day, you’re bound to be accosted by the drunk customers or the sketchy people outside asking for money.
The inside of this place is disgusting. It’s dirty, repugnant, unappealing — basically any word that has a similar negative connotation, would describe this Roberto’s. The floors weren’t maintained and were sticky with black residue from who-​knows-​what everywhere, the tables weren’t clean or wiped down, and the salsa bar (where you can get your condiments and veggies) was dirty and you could tell people were dropping whatever they were getting into the salsas. I don’t even think the sneeze guard was clean, either. VOMITROCIOUS.
The food was pretty decent. They have 99¢ tacos on Wednesdays, which we went for and grabbed a few chicken tacos. The tortillas may be a bit hard, but they have a good amount of chicken in there as well as lettuce, parmesan, and cheddar cheese. It’s good for the price, I admit. If you don’t know what you want to order and want to spare yourself from staring at the menu, then I suggest ordering the carne asada fries. It’s pretty good and does the job of filling you up.
If they just step up their game customer service and appearance-​wise, then they should be up there with the other Roberto’s locations.
If you’re brave/​near the area and have late night munchies or need to satisfy your Mexican food cravings at weird hours of the day, then you should try this place out (if you can survive the ratchetness, to be honest).

My go to place for Mexican fast food. Wish I could rate Robertos a 4.5. My favorite is the Carne Asada Burrito. Also get Taco Salad, Carnita’S Burrito and the Tostada. It’s a hole in the wall inside and I love that.

Okay, let’s atart with the salsa bar. This was my first time going into Robertos and I have to say I was a little disappointed with the selections of salsas. There were only two to choose from. There was a red and a green. I looked for Pico de Gallo but there wasn’t any. I have to say both salsas were very good. The red one was much spicier than the green but both had a nice kick.
On to the bean and cheese burrito. This burrito sounds very basic but I wanted to taste their beans without a buch of other added ingredients. The burrito was very good. It was hot, freshly made and rolled to perfection. I loaded it with the red and green salsa and it was perfect.
The beef taco de lengua and the carne asada tacos were also a good choice. The meat was tender and seansoned well. Each taco cost $ 2.75. Honestly I thought they were priced a little high. Especially when they are right across the street from UNLV.
My last review is the fish taco. It was very basic. I swear it tasted like a taco with two (tiny) Van De Kamp fishsticks inserted. That taco cost $ 2.75 but should have been closer to $.99. I was dissapointed with this choice.
I was also a bit dissapointed that they did not give out a small side of chips and salsa while we were waiting for our meal. When I inquired about getting chips I was told that a side would cost me $ 3.
To sum it up, the food was pretty good but priced a little high. I wished I had passed on the fish taco. I don’t think I will be revisiting.

Awesome! Loved 3 rolled tacos, Great flavor! Not cheap on portions :-) Tacos are massive. :-)

Love this location (and you can see from my activity that I enjoy my Roberto’s)! The food is always well prepared, fast, and fresh. It’s in a kinda sorta strip mall next to a sweets shop and behind the 7 eleven by unlv. Never crowded (even on taco Wednesday), and always seems to be the same four guys working. Whatever, they know their stuff and the food definitely shows it.

There is a need for a place like Roberto’s in just about every city. Cheap, greasy, open late at night Mexican food should practically be a god given right. Food baby seekers look no further, just about anything from Roberto’s is coma inducing (food and more), and is the promised land for Mexican munchie heaven.
I heard through the grapevine (read: drunk guy waiting in line to order) that this first ever Roberto’s to open in Vegas. While I can’t be sure of how true that is, I am certain the place practically looks it. A total dive with a handful of tables and a counter for ordering, along with suspect odors permeating the air that make you question if that’s food or just the bathroom door left ajar. I’ve been to much nicer Roberto’s before, but the dodginess of the strip mall and shady parking lot are charming enough to keep me coming back.
Be it burritos, rolled tacos, or their infamous carne asada fries, all options here are a guarantee for satiating that hunger. The wet burritos are of worthy consideration and the enchiladas are plenty saucy, not to mention cheesy. Not to be confused with rich textural Mexican platos, Roberto’s is more akin to junk food 2.0 with a little Mexican flair. Beware of too much crema, the back of your pants might just start whistling.
Over the years, the prices haven’t changed much. Most items are in the $ 4 – 7 range unless you decide to go baller status and throw in a few camerones (shrimp) dishes which are as much as $ 12. Seafood isn’t cheap in LV and Roberto’s is no exception. Thank goodness they accept credit cards.
While I can’t say I would recommend the tamales (dry, a bit of YMMV), I am definitely a sucker for their breakfast burrito. It’s not too big, but it’s hearty enough to pass for any sub 1,000 caloric breakfast item. Eggs are usually fluffy, the meat is solid, and the spiced out potatoes give an extra kick. For those of you who are back and forth with the meat selection, just know that machaca (shredded beef) is the way to go.
Open 24 hours. Gracias to all who made this happen.

Must try the carne asada fries and rolled tacos!!! They’re the best… You may have to run a marathon to get over the guilt, but it’s well worth it!

The food is normally good however today it wasn’t. I tried something new the shredded beef tostada, not good. The beef had good seasoning but was tough and chewy. Also the cook the shredded beef with bell peppers and onions which I’m not a fan of. I was highly disappointed this time.

This place is a must stop at on every Vegas trip of ours. Their carne asada breakfast burrito is to die for and they serve it 24 hours a day. Their pickled onions and carrots at the condiment bar goes well with anything they serve. Yeah there’s nothing glamorous about this place but after a night of partying and drinking this place always hits the spot as a hangover cure. Considering it’s in this small sketchy strip mall behind a 7 – 11 inside Roberto’s is actually very clean for what it is. The guys working there are nice enough and the food is always consistent and a great value overall. I’d rather eat here than a majority of those fancy expensive foofy places on the Strip.

It’s Roberto’s what can I say! You’ve been to one you’ve been to them all! I tried something different this time & it was yummy! Though my food was cold & I had to send it back. I’m not a big Pepsi fan, wish they served Coke products. It seemed to be a steady place for a Saturday night. It’s located right next to a bar called Cheers & they let you bring food inside to eat.

Not a fan of Mexican food but their CARNE ASADA FRIES is to die for! Minus the guacamole. huge servings and really cheap.

Dirty! Smelly!
Walked in and the first thing that hit me was the smell. omg!!! Cigarette and toilet piss. no joke i felt like I walked into a freaking smokers house. All the tables were filthy dirty. wth! Dissatisfaction to the fullest. I just hope the owner wakes the fuck up and turns this place around… food was good tho.
Ps: no fumen en el restaurante pendejos!!!

What can I say? The food is amazing! I love the chicken tacos and my bf loves the cheese enchiladas and bean and cheese burritos. Their service is always fast and the food is fresh.
My only complaint for this location is, that when we went, mind you it was lunch hour… this place was packed, the empty tables were dirty, one person taking orders and the line was long. I’m sure if I went at any other time, it would be great.
This location is super close to me and very convenient for us to drop in and get a meal quickly.

Great, fresh inexpensive food! They’ve been here for 23 years and the food is as fresh as if they had just opened. Hard to see in the back of the shopping center behind 7 – 11

.99 chicken tacos on Wednesday? Hells yea!
This is basically the only reason why I come here. The tacos are super oily but they actually taste good with some of their red salsa! If you come here their food consistency is not always the same, the tacos anyway. The first time they were hella hard with a little bit of chicken, the second time they were perfect and this last time they were perfect shells with a little chicken and not enough cheese. For .99cents you really cant expect more though.
My coworker got the rolled taquitos with guac and asked for sour cream, they charge 1.10 $ for that, WTF?! They also charge that for guac. Its totally insane to charge that much for sour cream though! The guac was already oxidizing by the time we got back to work, like 5 mins away.
They have a salsa bar, but the place is cramped and people always take wayyyy more than they should. They do offer green onions here, which not all Robertos offer.
The place itself is pretty clean, and customer service is so-​so. The cashier is usually in a hurry and just trying to get orders in as quickly as possible so she isnt super nice.
I will continue to come here for their cheap tacos, but thats about it LOL.
Yay!
