I used to love this restaurant...recently, it seems that they have become super cheap, almost to the point of embarrassing. I bought a coupon book that had Buenos Grill coupons in it. One of the coupons I came in to use was a "Buy One get one 50%". I go to use this coupon, order two burritos with salsa, guac, sour cream and cheese. They take $4 off of my total. Meaning, they don't take the 50% off of the entire burrito. they take the 50% off of the "stock" burrito. Anything you add to it, isn't technically included. My bill was $20, therefore, I got $4 off. Pretty cheap if you ask me (especially considering how much you pay for a simple burrito). Also, their frequent buyer card states this: "buy ten tacos or burritos and get one free. One stamp per visit please". Does anyone else see the problem here? So, I went in and bought 3 burritos. Got one stamp. Instead of honoring the first statement on their frequent buyers card, they are sure to honor just the second. Very cheap. I have just had it with this place. If you want to buy local, but you get this kind of BS, why would you come back here. read more

Very friendly relaxed atmosphere. We really want to like this place but the food is so bland and rather tasteless. We have tried coming back numerous times, hoping it will improve, but it never fails to disappoint. read more

Try it out before you jump to conclusions based on reviews. Buenos Grill takes knowledge of the menu and time trying out multiple options before you realize the value it can bring to your rotation and options in town. People have strong feelings about fish taco varieties and Buenos has three of the most diverse and most argued over options, also available in burrito form. They have your typical grilled white fish, fried, and a spicy Del Mar salmon option. Get to know the salsa bar to add flavor layers to your choices. All the salsas are approachable despite the label mild, medium, and hot. The chipotle option is amazing the chip dipping salsa is mild but a good option, also the verde is a good choice. I do not often use the hottest option so don't ask me about that one. We like the Brie and Mango Quesadilla, the coconut shrimp appetizer or platter, the variety of salad options, and the tortilla soup is amazing. You get the choice of black or pinto beans and rice with most entrees. Note, they do also have chicken and beef items but we focus on the fish the most in our household, because you can get chicken and beef everywhere. They have many vegetarian options and I think the menu is generally one of the healthiest in town. You have to look at the menu option behind the register for some of the more specialized options in addition to the big menu when you walk in. He makes great margaritas! They have plenty of beer options and a fountain with lemonade and tea on the side. They even have horchata if I remember correctly. Funny thing, I believe the owner originated in Portland in the 1990's, so I think I remember meeting him in Portland in college before I transferred here to Reno in the Mid 90s. He moved here soon after that. I may have all the Portland stuff wrong but that's the way I remember it. Don't forget about the Salsa it makes the dish here. He lets the fish speak for itself so you can add the salsa. Buy the way his mango salsa is amazing too! They offer many more topping if you ask. Just ask. For 20+ years regulars have been flocking back to this location because they understand the menu. read more

Just ate dinner there with friends and it was a very pleasant experience! I had a small snafu with my salad (forgot to add the avocado) but the staff was more than happy to bring it to me after the fact. My friend was also charged for 2 salads in accident and the cashier noticed and came over, apologized and gave her the cash back. Oh and the food was so yummy! We will be back soon! read more

Went to Buenos grill about a week ago and had a terrible experience. The owner had a group of his friends in the resturant and was letting all of the kids run around the restaurant and were screaming. When I went to complain to the girl behind the counter she informed me that the party who was being loud was the owners friends and that there was nothing she could do. It would have been a different situation had the owner come over and apologized and informed us that his restuarant welcomed that kind of an experience but instead decided to mock us. Terrible owners and terrible experience. Would go back if it was the last taco in reno. read more

This five star rating is long due for several perfect menu items, sweet neighborhood location, friendly staff, and beautiful NV scenic photography decorating the walls. The menu items I have to have on a regular basis are all 3 varieties of fish tacos, and the coconut crunchy tofu taco (flour shell recommended!). Many Yelpers have commented on the salsa not being salty enough. Here is my solution: Salt shakers are on every table, so salt yours accordingly! Thankful for this relaxed and kinda healthy Mexican option so close to home. Thanks, Buenos!!! read more

Stopped in for some fish tacos but changed to a Steak Burrito and Ono Burrito. I decided to get some Chips and Salsa for 2.50 also. Should have waited as chips do come with the meal. I would say the burritos were bland. The Salsa helped. The Steak meat was good quality. spent 28.00 included a beer:) Not sure if I will be back. read more

Buenos Grill - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This saddens me more than I can say. To say that a local restaurant is sub par is awful. Had fish tacos...the fish was cooked so long it was hard. Ate one, starving, took the other back to the counter. Expressed that the fish was hard, as if it had been microwaved, and had no salt. "Oh we don't cook with salt"...WHAT? There was another couple in the restaurant, a total of 4 people eating there on a Saturday 12:30PM. REALLY? A beautiful set up, a great grill, where the fish could have been grilled, rather than taken from the freezer, and microwaved. 3 people behind the counter, and fresh tortillas couldn't be made? Really? I make fresh tortillas every time I cook tacos, AND I'M A BLANCA! The reason the place is dead empty, the food is terrible. Mango salsa, taking mango from a can, and mixing it with salsa from a jar is NOT FRESH!!! I repeat myself, 3 people behind the counter and one person couldn't make ANYTHING fresh? I do realize, I'm a Chef, and work off a food truck, there isn't a microwave on either of my trucks. Either fresh, or not. I lived in Ensenada, had AMAZING sea food, that you are claiming to be serving. Sell/give the business to someone who really wants to cook, and create. You a have a beautiful kitchen setup, there is NO EXCUSE for poorly made food, NONE! Even worse, a $60 bill for 2 fish tacos that were terrible, and a burrito, that was OK, no better than Jack in the Box.... read more

I get burritos her, they are pretty decent. Not sure why it's getting a lot of hate. However I haven't really tried their other items, the service is good and decor is nice, they seem to follow that "we love reno" vibe that eclipse pizza has, the food isn't a bad option and is worth eating at. they make their own ingredients, so they are better option than baja fresh or chiplote read more

Been going to Buenos for years! Service is always great and the food spot on. My go to is the Caesar Salad with the Del Mar Salmon added. Great neighborhood restaurant and the owner are active community members. Love supporting a local restaurants with good food and even better owners. read more

Traveling through Reno and stopped at Buenos Grill for lunch. WOW, I loved the Tostada salad with grilled chicken. Generous portion and the price was reasonable. The staff was very friendly! We ate outside in the patio and were pleased with their quick service. We will definitely be back! We highly recommend them, easy access from the freeway! read more

I came to this restaurant upon recommendation from my friend. I read the reviews and felt that I had to go because she recommended it... I was sorely disappointed the salsa was terrible, the chips were old and bland, kinda like the rest of the meal. The only thing that was even slightly redeeming was the good coconut shrimp. Beans and rice were terrible. read more

Buenos Grill - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is the second time I've been disappointed by this business, so I decided this time I'd write a review.. Came here with my boy friend to grab dinner and was extremely disappointed with the service. Spent $30 plus a generous tip for two burritos that were wrapped terribly. My boy friends burrito came out with the tortilla ripped to the point where it was unable to stay together, he then asked for the cook to wrap it in a new tortilla. The cook stared at the cashier (saying something under his breath) and then looked at my boyfriend and proceeded to LAUGH in his face. The cook then re-wrapped the burrito and threw the tray in the bus tub making a scene. The cashier gave us back the burrito and neither of the employees apologized for the inconvenience. Then the cook continued to tell the other line cook and cause a scene while we finished our meal. We both have worked in the food industry for a long time and this type of behavior would have never been acceptable. 1 star because 0 isnt an option. We will never return here.. read more

The food is great the restaurant is a little pricey but it's OK because if you want good food then the price shouldn't matter. The only thing that was upsetting was that I bought a few meals and I asked for a couple of boxes a gentleman only gave me one I asked for another one then he had the nerve to ask what I was packing I told him what I was packing and he refused to give me another box. If I spend close to $60.00 In Your restaurant don't be a stingy person. read more

Nice neighborhood Tacos and burritos. Americanized for sure but the fish is great and so are the salads

As a first-timer at Buenos Grill, I didn't have the same flavor issues as other reviewers had. I liked my taquitos and grilled fish burrito with mango salsa, and there were no complaints from the rest of our table. The margaritas were pretty tasty, but maybe a bit sweet and made with too much orange juice. Overall, the service was good, and the place was very clean. They also had a good choice of beer and tequila (including Chamucos, which can be hard to find). I'll have to go back sometime to check out the other menu items. read more

Didn't know what to expect. The atmosphere is awesome. The staff are polite. The food is fabulous!! Their guacamole is some of the best in Reno. And if you like true and original habanero hot sauce this place is for you!!! Deep searing heat is a good description! read more

Clean, friendly, options! Tasty food, tasty salsa. Generous kids plates. A bit steep. Great location. read more

Good for hearty lunch before a long trip on I-80 east to the forgotten hinterland of NE Nevada. Nothing extraordinary about the food, but it is a big improvement over Mex in a box that can be found on most corners to the north on McCarren. read more

This is a hidden gem for the Old SW of Reno. We've lived in the area for 4 years but just started visiting Buenos Grill about 1 year ago. And I must say "Why the heck did I not come here sooner!" I love this place! And for those of you that are new to Reno if you like the fish tacos & nachos from Rubio's then you'll love this place probably even more. The Baja fish tacos are amazing and we also love the nachos with chicken. So yummy! So dive right in and getcha' some! read more

The food has been reliably good for years. The Baja Burrito was always my favorite, but I've switched to the veggie only because I'm eating less fish. Both are great. The burritos are a little pricey, but they are also huge (and delicious). It's one of our go-to's when we're heading home and not feeling emotionally prepared to tackle cooking. read more

Very Californian, service, food, atmosphere...etc all laid back! Food-OK nothing special though Service-sometime too laid back Atmosphere-great (that's why we go back here) By the way, they do have stamp card for regular customers but you only get a stamp PER visit not per entree (which really ticks my hubby off). And they mix up your order a lot of times since you place your order over the counter and wait at the table. Over all, I love Qdoba a lot more!!! Cheers =D read more

Clean, friendly, great salsa bar! Love the deck. Nice wine selection too. Service was fast and personable. Kids love the ice cream freezer. read more

This place is great! I love supporting local, so knowing that this restaurant has been family-owned ever since it opened 19 years ago just made the experience better. The workers were all very friendly and helpful considering it was my first time. (Thanks Kyle and Cole!) I took their advice and tried the chicken burrito. It was delicious and HUGE! They stuffed it full, and I couldn't even finish it. I will definitely be returning and recommending this place to others! read more

Disgusting food and very expensive. $5.25 for a single taco and some chips that are hours old. Jimboys or Del Taco even Taco Hell is a better choice. They feel they can charge these prices because of where they're located even though their food is sub par. I'm surprised people still come here. read more

I've only had three different items here but they have all been excellent. Maybe the best shrimp burrito I have ever had especially if you order it Acapulco style. You can also get Acapulco shrimp tacos that are amazing. read more

The good: the coconut crunchy tofu burrito is solid, as is the chipotle salsa. The Buenos burrito is enjoyable but not strictly speaking special. The bad: Buenos is Mexican food for affluent white people. The food isn't particularly flavorful. It's overpriced. It is far from authentic. Hit up Betos instead for some top notch tacos at two thirds the price. read more

Buenos Grill was a very pleasant surprise for brunch. Our breakfast burrito and chilaquiles were excellent! The vegetables in the burrito were grilled to perfection, and I love the way they do their potatoes. Overall, everything was fresh-tasting and seemed to be prepared with care. Service was fast, and the space is pleasant and spacious. read more

I enjoy coming here with the family. I always get quick service and every employee is extremely helpful and happy. I wish they had more options for a kids menu but we seem to make it work with what they have available. read more

God awful fish tacos and service. The decor is nice and open, almost a little TOO spacious for me. Nonetheless, it's very clean and colorful. They claim to have the "best fish tacos in Reno!" WRONG. I've never had more bland tasteless fish tacos in my life, especially for that price. $5 for a taco and some GREASY fried chips? $2 for a drink from the soda machine? The fish tacos at Bully's are 1000x better at a fraction of the cost! SO disappointed! The best thing I had was the salsa, and even that wasn't so great. Let's not forget about the service. The self-serve thing is neat, but the guy behind the counter? NOT so neat. First of all, he's probably the most awkward server I have ever met. He just seemed really confused with the fact that I was ordering, and when he brought our order to our table, he just stood there and looked at us. Like can I help you? I didn't get any words out of his mouth, he just gave awkwardly gave us the food. On top of the gross food, the bad service made our time much more unenjoyable. I will not be coming back. Save your time and money, and go elsewhere. read more

Terrible experience, teenagers working at this place , kid at the register takes my cash, then proceeds to make my burrito without washing his hands, I refused to eat it. Tried it another time (like an idiot, yes) and orders churros for my kid, I watched the cook accidentally flip one over the stove falling behind it. Now there are three teenage boys laughing and trying to retrieve it. After about 5 min. They get it out and believe it or not they put it on the plate to give to us. I tried to like this place but will never try again. read more

This place has really gone down hill. Used to come here all the time. Ordered food to go and it took 30 minutes because they didn't know how to make taquitos properly. No apologies... super disappointing. read more

I keep trying to like Bueno's but the owner, Greg, makes it impossible with his better than everyone attitude. That being said, my burrito tonight was wrong twice and the second time he was just put out when I returned it. Then it was just not good- beans undercooked, chicken overcooked, 1 tiny shred of cheese (for which I paid extra) and no sour cream (also an extra charge) even though he said 'there's some in there- just not very much'. I like to patronize local guys but after many tries at Bueno's, I give up. read more

Susie and I love to get takeout at Buenos Grill. For dinner we always order the blackened salmon over a Caesar salad! Totally awesome. Lots of other tasty items on the menu too! read more

Since I live in the neighborhood near Buenos, I have eaten there several times. The last 3 times I have been extremely disappointed in the service and attitude of the owner. Tonight was the final straw. My 2 small children and I stopped in for a cheese quesadilla. Nothing fancy but dinner out followed by Yogurt Beach across the street was their reward for good behavior. We ordered and waited patiently talking about our day. Then I noticed that people who arrived after us were already eating. I looked at the time and realized we had been waiting for 30 minutes for a simple, cheese quesadilla. I went to the owner, told him the situation, and asked him what happened to our order. His reply was, "I don't know." I asked if he could figure it out. Again he acted like it was no big deal. He told me he would put our order in now. I told him I would just like our money back because we were leaving. He gave me the money back but not the tip that I gave when ordering. When we left we saw people we knew sitting outside. They arrived after us. They told us about the free, cheese quesadilla they were given. We told them what happened and they were shocked. They let us know that they told the server they didn't order that but the server said,"keep it. It's extra." I then went back and told the owner about this. He blamed the customers saying they took our number and put it on their table. Not true. We had our number on our table the whole time. Then he blamed them for not returning it even though they tried. I just left as I was getting no where with him. I would have been happy with a sincere apology instead of attitude, excuses, and blaming others. read more

Came here to eat and started asking questions and we got smart ass remarks. One thing I don't take lightly to is be telling me it's all on the menu. When I ask questions I expect at least courtesy and helpfulness especially when it's my first time. Walked out read more

Why am I giving this joint a 1 Star Review??? Deceptive Business Practice of Overcharging!!! On my visit yesterday, I ordered a menu item and when it was rung up (higher amount) I questioned it and was informed the prices had been increased but not posted on the menu board WTF? After complaining,I was given the lower price but I want everybody to know about this b/c most won't even notice that they are OVERCHARGING you!!! They can get away with this b/c of it's Caughlin Ranch location and most customers don't really care!!! Just check the overall reviews (2.5 stars) Stay Away From This 'CLIP' Joint read more

Last time I went, 1/2 years ago, was horrible. The cashiers dealt with out cash then didn't even wash their hands when going to cook the food. Not only that, I ended up ordering a churro, while we are sitting there waiting for the food, already disgusted, the churro somehow falls behind the oven so they start trying to grab it with kitchen utensils!!! I swear, they were going to try to give me the churro that fell behind an oven! Not only, I bet they didn't clean those kitchen utensils either. We ended up saying something and then leaving, not even caring about the money we just gave them for nothing. We just couldn't take it. read more

We thought we would go to a local joint, something different. This was a HUGE mistake. The food was awful, the salsa lacked flavor, how do you do that. The fish that I had on my fish tacos was overcooked. The food was really bland. Go somewhere else. That's all I have! read more

I WANT to like this place. I really do. I love their involvement with the local community with the Winter Slide Series, but I feel like I was robbed for mediocre food every time. I ordered ceviche. It came with enough chips to eat about 1/3 of it. It was less than a cup of ceviche for $7. Really?? $7. I wasn't very hungry, so didn't want any larger serving than I was given, but an appetizer that size should have cost no more than $4 max. I just can't justify spending $10 on a soda and a small bowl of mediocre chopped fish. It was fairly flavorless too, but wasn't bad after I added salt as many others have also suggested. Like I said, I really do WANT to like this place, I've just been fairly disappointed 3 out of 3 times now. Too bad. read more
