(Note: Roco and Como are next door to each other and the day we visited Roco was open while Como was closed - both menus were available at Roco. I will post the same review for both restaurants.) Using Yelp to find a restaurant for lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 10 and 11) I came across Roco and Como. Both websites were similar - the main difference was food. One menu had Ramen which was what my older daughter was craving, while the other menu had street Tacos, which the rest of us thought sounded appetizing. When we found the restuarants the menu at Como directed us to Roco - we were greeted by friendly staff who showed us to a table. The restaurant had a few tables already seated including a table of adults appearing to be having a good time drinking alcohol and eating. Other tables had families with kids. The server brought us a bottle of water and glasses upon being seated. We ordered a seared tuna appetizer, Ramen and a variety of tacos. The appetizer arrived quickly and was pleasantly presented. The tuna was seared nicely and served with a small side salad with a dressing/sauce that went well with the tuna. I thought it was delicious. The Ramen arrived for my daughter. She enjoyed the dish. From my perspective I thought it was a good portion - typically she eats the noodles and a bite or two of the protein. Often she finishes the noodles and is still hungry - however this Ramen bowl had ample noodles and actually filled her up! The tacos also arrived. We ordered one cauliflower, which my partner thought was spicey and okay. We ordered one with shortribs which I thought was delicioius. We also ordered 3 shrimp and 3 carne asada. We enjoyed all - they were nicely presented, fresh and tastey. I decided to order an additional cauliflower taco. This time is was served with a pineapple salsa unlike the first one that we ordered. I thought the pineapple salsa was fresh and had good flavor but wasn't quite sure it went so well with the flavors of the cauliflower taco. I can understand in theory the cool sweetness of the pineapple meeting the spicy savory cauliflower. I did enjoy eating it but found it was better with less salsa which overpowered and took away from the taco. Overall we thought the ambience was great, the service attentive and friendly and the food fresh, nicely presnted and delicious. For the cost it was a good value. For our family it fit the bill for what eah of us wanted for lunch. i would return. read more

The host and the wait staff were friendly and attentive. The tacos were great. We tried the carnitas and vegetarian options and both were fantastic. The vegetarian burrito was good sized and flavorful. I'm ready to go back again. read more

Great service at the bar with awesome staff. Chip and guacamole with the COMO margarita was the perfect combo.

This place was truly great. Everyone that was there was having a great time. Food and service were top notch. We will definitely come back to this place. read more

They have plenty of outdoor seating. The tacos and burritos were very good! It did take a bit longer for the food to come out but we weren't in a hurry. read more

Beautiful restaurant with great art and food. My daughter is obsessed with their queso appetizer and the street tacos, ALL OF THEM .

We just enjoyed a delicious lunch here and we will definitely be back. We were hesitant to come here because of the low Yelp rating but when we read the reviews closely a lot of people said the food was great but the service was not. We found both the food and the service to be amazing! Delicious salads, chips and guacamole and burritos. We plan on trying the margaritas next time! read more

Arrived at 8:25 on Friday evening, put our name in and were told that we would be seated in about 15 minutes. 40 minutes later at 9:05 we went up to ask how long it would be and we were told "sorry, we are not seating anybody else". I said "I don't understand... We've been waiting 40 minutes?" To which he shrugged his shoulders and replied "sorry, it just happens like that sometimes".. To add insult to injury the website said it was supposed to be open until 10 PM. People were still asking to be seated and there were a lot of people in the restaurant so they were not closing it due to a lack of traffic. Maybe they all just wanted to go home early? Pretty frustrating experience. read more

Out enjoying the outdoors, flyfishing with a great colleague and friend who is indoctrinating me to his dry fly ways. The last two nights after a cold day in the water with a lot of rain we have been fortunate to discover Como! The food is outstanding, very tasty and made from scratch. Don't skip the guacamole and chips for a starter -- you'll thank me. I thought the fish tacos were terrific yesterday and got more today but Taco Tuesday is incredibly popular and I understand why. The Pollo Verde and the pork tacos were well worth the wait too. Don't skip the habanero salsa -- really tasty. The local craft beer topped it all off so well. I went with the Hefe and my buddy did the Truckee IPA. FANTASTIC! Must eat here! read more

Great lunch experience but don't like the self-service menus. I like the fact that they had a California cauliflower tacos.

Super tasty tacos. I got the asada, carnitas, and grilled shrimp and the 3 were absolutely delicious. The tortillas are handmade and close to the best I've ever had, outside of my folks' homemade ones. You can't go wrong with the guacamole and the mango margarita either. Definitely a place for a quick bite if you're in the area. read more

Want some street tacos on tortillas made on site, check out COMO. The guacamole starter is also a winner. I had the 3 carne Asada plate. I should have gone with the variety pack to smoke a wider variety, but those tacos were damn good. read more

Awesome food and great vibes. Add steak to the queso dip, you won't be disappointed. Homemade hot sauces, salsa and tortillas make this place a cut above the rest. read more

So happy we wound up here for lunch -- delicious!!!! We loved everything we ordered (though the cauliflower tacos are a definite MUST). Love the service, the atmosphere, and the food. read more

OK, I guess I'm the outlier here, but I don't get all of the 5 star reviews. I had lunch here with my family. We would have been promptly seated, but none of the empty tables has been cleared, so we had to wait for that to happen. Our waiter (not really OUR waiter, since they don't work that way) explained that, to read the menu, ALL we needed to do was to take out our cell phones and scan the QR code on the table. My son's phone worked fine, but we had issues with my phone, so we started passing my son's phone around so each of use could review the menu. A gentleman (older guy - manager or owner?) noticed that we were only using one phone, so he offered to assist and we were finally able to get both phones working (apparently each phone is different and you just have to go back and forth/ and back and up and down and back and forth, and back and forth...to find the "sweet spot" for the phone to open the QR code. We then proceeded to look at the online menu on a tiny phone. I was interested in the "make your own taco plate" where you can pick 3 different tacos. This "item" only listed the names of the available tacos, so I had to go back to the previous menu, and click on each taco, then wait "ages" (over a minute, and perhaps more) as it loaded the full description. This had to be done for each and every description and it was laborious and painful - we were hungry! This entire process would have taken seconds had I just had the option of looking at a REAL menu and MAYBE talking to a REAL server! I have seen the QR thing before, but previous restaurants also had a printed menu upon request (the couple seated next to us had the same complaints we did). When the internet is slow, it's maddening to try and use the phone in this way - just my 2 cents. My husband and son ordered burritos. As we began eat we all commented that the "food was good, just not great". My tacos were served on what appeared to be homemade and heated tiny tortillas and overall, they were very good. The only one I had an issue with was my fish taco. The fish was probably delicious (it was moist), but it was drenched in fresh lime (even though it was served with several lime wedges) so it was hard to taste anything but lime, on that taco. The pork and beef tacos rounded out my meal and both of these were good. My husband and son ate all of their beef burritos, but my son's had raw onions on it, which he specifically asked not to have and my husband's did not have any onions, despite the fast that the server who put the food on the table, specifically asked them who wanted the one with onions and the one without - not a end of the world deal, just another irritation. Both my husband and son said the burritos were just OK - they were very very dry with just beans, rice and meat. I asked them if the burritos had salsa and sour cream (we all recalled that the online menu stated this)? They both said there wasn't any. After dining, I always give feedback to the servers or manager, if there's something big, either positive or negative, in the hopes that someone "cares"...so I called the same older man over to our table to let him know that we were disappointed that neither burrito came with these condiments, which made them a bit dry and boring. He seemed surprised and the very first thing he asked me was if we had ordered the burritos "wet". I said no, that wasn't an option we saw on the ONLINE menu(!?). He then then proceeded to explain that in THIS restaurant, they put the sour cream and salsa INSIDE the burrito (OK, what's so special about that?), THEN they heat the burrito up, encouraging all of the "sour cream and salsa to just melt into the rice and beans" (he was saying this like it was a deliberate attempt to make the burrito, oh so lovely and delicious - he even gestured with his hands to show how all of the insides of THEIR burritos were melded into an amazing concoction, etc. But his main point was that there would never be any discernable sour cream or salsa noticeable in any bit of THEIR burritos. Say what? If you want sour cream and salsa on a burrito, who wants either one HEATED and "melded" into the inside, so you can't taste it at all?! I tried to tell him that I "get" their process and maybe the sour cream would "disappear", once heated, but where were the "remnants" of any tomatoes or other "salsa" ingredients - surely these don't just disappear? He just kept arguing and insisting that the condiments were there so I finally called it quits and told him I was done "talking" and he finally left. Another restaurant that we walked by that day had only a QR code on a framed "menu" outside of the restaurant - rather than a printed copy for ANYONE of ANY AGE to read. We didn't bother to pull out our phones and just walked by - as I suspect many do. When people are hungry, no one wants to spend an EXTRA 30 minutes just trying to get a very slow computer system to function. read more

The outdoor dining presents a nice vibe. The main guy is pleasant, friendly, and almost seems accommodating.... The carne asada tacos were cold and dry. The meat appeared pre-cooked. Also the meat was very dry and had so much gristle.... The shrimp tacos were cold to maybe warm.... The fish tacos were good. The salsa was good. When our food arrived the table for the four of us was too small for all of the dishes, the server offered to switch us to a larger table but the main guy would not have it, claiming that was his only table for 6. Tables can me moved around to accommodate the guests and their needs. The main guy put up such a fuss we stayed at our small table and 2 in our party of 4 had their tacos plates on their knees while eating... The main guy did remove 1 order of bad carne asada tacos... The restaurant has great appeal when Walking by, the menu variety is good, but the accommodation and food quality was substandard. We will not eat here again for $100 it was not worth it. Chips and salsa are an extra fee... No one in our group was impressed or wowed by the food and the lack of accommodating our group size... read more

When we walked in it seemed like it was closed an there were no workers to greet us. We stood for 2 min before a worker appeared an told us to sit where we want. Never got asked how we were or if we wanted salsa and chips. The server was a woman, brunette an was very rude and dismissive to me an my mother. Didn't have any manners an wasn't polite at all, it felt hostile an uncomfortable ordering my food. Once we got the food it was insanely bland. Every bite tasted the same but like nothing. No seasoning no pepper an chips had wayyy to much salt. horrible customer service an bad food. Spent 85$. Wouldn't recommend read more

We came for apps and drinks. The drinks were good but the service was strange. Nobody explained we wouldn't have service from an actual person....so we just sat at the table wondering why nobody was taking our order. We finally figured out we needed to scan a code and order on our phones. When our food came we had to request silverware and napkins and then were told if we needed more we could get up and get them ourselves. I have never been to a restaurant where I get up from my table to retrieve my own items so that was odd. The food was alright but nothing spectacular...for example, we ordered a quesadilla with quac but it didn't specify it came inside the quesadilla...so it was basically a guacamole filled tortilla. And the three chip baskets we paid for were mostly broken chips. Just a strange experience. Guess that's why they have you order and pay from the app? So you pay and tip BEFORE experiencing the service and food? read more

COMO - Guacamole comes in the quesadilla. - Mexican Near Me - Truckee, California

I try and give more of a tip these days because people have been hit hard. Didn't mind ordering and paying online. However, there was barely any service. Food was dropped off and was half done with eating before our drinks arrived. No one did a table check to make sure we had everything and if we needed anything. Couldn't get anyone's attention even tried waving people down... I struggled tipping because it's for service it's not automatic and we did not get much if hardly any service. Food was average - burritos were dry. read more

Pretty cool to have everything scanned in on your phone and to put the order in and pay for it all. Sad though for the waitress community and what is probably going to come to with just having runners. However, I wouldn't call them homemade tortillas for the tacos, they didn't have that authentic taste or fill. Skip the fish an shrimp tacos. No flavor what so ever and they don't give you any salsa unless you pay for it.... Which should always be a given when at a Mexican restaurant. Especially when you pay for $12 for a bowl of tortilla soup that was more like cup size. The alcohol was good though. read more

Worst breakfast burrito that I had in a while. Half of the onions were not cooked. My wife said that the tacos were ok. The beer was tasty, but the margaritas had very little alcohol. Disappointing experience. read more

Delicious food and friendly service. We had a larfe group (25) on a weekday and they were able to accommodate

Great service! Lola is the best!! One of the best places i've been too! Highly reccomend

I won't come back just because of the ordering system!! No one told us we actually place our order thru our phones. We've seen the look at the menu on the phone but not the actual send/enter credit card info for your whole order. So we've got to call over an employee to verify that we're not ordering from a human. Then we have to wave them back over because they don't have a button for one of their drink specials listed. Then I have to call over another employee to let them know about a food allergy because there is no way to state that on the phone. We could have placed our order in five minutes with an employee but instead probably took 15-20. I love tipping extra but really didn't see the point! Automatic gratuity starts at 20%! Lol! Why?? There is no service! Bumped it down to 18% only because we factor in splitting tips/cost of living in or near Truckee is expensive!! Kaleb was great it was his second day but I think he should move on to something better! My first Mexican restaurant I've been to that doesn't sell pinto or refried beans. Just not a good look for a restaurant to have staff standing around twirling their thumbs but not offer table service to the only table there. Dry burritos not worth $70 lunch for two. Maybe if you go, 'forget your phone'. Weird experience all around. I'd rather go to Taco Bell :) read more

The most gentrified mexican food in truckee, you had to order on your phone and there was little to no interaction with a server/host. The tacos were bland and tasteless, their margaritas were too expensive for how little and weak they were. The only good thing about this restaurant is the location and outdoor patio seating. read more

Guac was too lime-y. Beans were too salty. Tacos were good. Pork and carne asada are recommended. read more

Excellent food and fun non alcoholic drinks. Plentiful portions. We'd definitely return!

Today at about 2pm we visited Como restaurant in Truckee. We have been here in the past (two years ago) and the service and food was great, worth returning. Thus our reason for returning today. We walked up to the outdoor entry and waited, not long, but as the only customer in the restaurant, any wait was too long. The host/ waitress escorted us to a table. While enroute to the table she did ask if we were famiar with app purchasing and stated that we should put in a chip and salsa order prior to food order. We navigated the app order process and ordered two drinks, chips and salsa and two main dishes. Drinks came in a few minutes. Having a feeling after several more minutes, I began my timer. After 13 minutes, out came our chips, salsa and two mains. The question was offered, "chips at the same time?" we were reminded by the waitress that she did recommend putting in a chip order ahead of time. I thought to myself, they saw the drink order and separated that but not the chips with it. Ok, maybe my bad, but really. By the way, 13 minutes, not bad for the main dish and both were good dishes. So here are some other issues. App ordering needs to go. After being seated we only saw our waitress twice. Once when she brought drinks the other when she brought the food. When she brought the drinks, she set them down in front of the wrong person because the interpersonal experience is gone. We had to ask for limes after because we couldn't do that on the app and didn't get to ask in person. Same with food, no chance to ask about selections. These issues are part app and part on the individual waitress. Tried to get her attention once when she came out to help the now only other table, but she scurried inside and we never got a refill on our drinks or any other items we may have needed like napkins. On another note, as we listened to the poor music selection I noted how one song had lyrics talking about smoking pot and all in one phase it made reference to "shit, white trash and the N word" all in one phrase. So in short, food was good but service was poor and ambiance was poor. Either go to self serve and skip staff all together or get them back to work and insist your staff meet standards or your business will suffer. read more

I've been here twice, and the second time was easily the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. The online order system was confusing, the food was a solid 2/10 (ex: chips were extremely stale, all the food was subpar, guac was one of the worst restaurant guacs), service was a generous 1.5/10 (some dishes came out 5 minutes before we left and we had to ask multiple times). We never got all of our utensils, the drinks weren't that good, etc. I think everything that could've went wrong, went wrong. On the positive side, we sat down quickly. I rarely write reviews but this was definitely a bad experience for our whole group - go to Casa Baeza instead that's right nearby for a better Mexican food experience read more

I was blown away by Como! THe best Mexican food I've ever had ANYWHERE! The best guacamole and sauces too. Not to mention I found my new favorite tequila too, El Tesoro. read more

Service was slow and food was just okay. But right on the main drag so convenient for window shopping and exploring. Indoor ambience is cool. This was our first stab at eating in Truckee so we will have to continue to explore. read more

Very nice inviting atmosphere. GREAT food and impeccable service. Adrian took great care of us and the entire staff is warm, inviting, and helpful. If you're a foodie and want a fresh perspective on Mexican food, you have to try Como's! read more

Comical. Male bartender (blue hat) was straight luggage. Female bartender was flying around at a million miles an hour. Credit to her (beast). Once sat, server didn't come around for 20 minutes. Once we were finally blessed, no water, utensils, napkins (what the?). 10 top got sat 30 minutes after us and saw all of the above in 36 seconds. Food was aight. read more

Not a lot of great food places in Truckee and this one not an exception. Stopped by to eat with friends (6 person group). Service is slow, the waitress didn't write down the order and as a result we had missing food from our table. I personally enjoyed my tacos whoever their ramen and tuna fish from their sister restaurant wasn't as good. Great salsa! Faster and more careful service would make this place better read more

Ermergerrrrrrrd. Those tacos were FIRE (salsa negra, cauliflower pastor, tempura shrimp). Don't waste your time eating anywhere else in Truckee. The cocktails were on point. I had a mangonada and bae had a margarita. These cats are crushing it with their Covid compliance. Tables were distanced acordingly, counter service, masked staff. And speaking of the staff, SO kind and accommodating. They helped us carry our food to the table so that we didn't have to juggle our food which was insanely helpful. I'll be sure to come back here the next time I'm in the Tahoe area. Thanks COMO! read more

Everything is done by phone-ordering, paying. so impersonal we absolutely won't be back. is this the new Truckee? Food was okay for Taco Bell but not a high end tapas restaurant. read more

This could be a very nice place but because of Jason the bar tender my family will never know. Not kid friendly at all.

Drinks were the best part. They were out of queso, so it would've been nice to comp the chips and salsa, but that didn't happen. Food was fine, if you like a pound of onions on each item. The worst part was how it took 30+ minutes for our food to arrive. read more

Can't believe this place. We ordered our food via the app. Took forever to get the food. The taste was Average. They forgot part of our order and we could not find a waiter to help. Finally got someone to bring the food out. Coke we got was flat. On top of all that when we ordered we have a gratuity prior to the food of 20%. Will never come back here again. read more

Came into Truckee for dinner @ Alibi and they had a band and cover charge. Found a place to park and walked out to Coco /Como and gave it a chance. Great decision. Wonderful Ramen bar and a perfect dinner after day on the slopes. Has a bit of a frantic pace with servers rushing around to take care of the customers. Was a problem as the food came out quickly and was perfect. Definitely will stop here again. read more
