We just moved to Elko from Reno and saw this little hole-in-the-wall taqueria while on a dog walk…read more Hoping to find a replacement for the taco spot we frequented just down the street from our old place, we decided to try Taqueria Ayala the same night for dinner. We got there just before they were about the close (earlier than indicated on Yelp) so some options were already gone, but we were able to get some asada and lengua tacos and they were WONDERFUL. We will definitely be going back to try more options. If you're looking for a Tex-Mex restaurant style experience where your tacos are pre -loaded with all the fixings, this isn't it. Ayala will give you some fresh tortillas topped with your meat of choice and then you can add pico de Gallo, onions, and salsas from their salsa bar. That's the sort of taco place I prefer personally. Plus, there are other, more elaborate, options on the menu if that's what you want. Taqueria Ayala actually outshines our previous favorite because the salsa is better. The green is mild but flavorful and the red has a nice kick to it. Definitely recommended and we'll be going back to try more! I can't wait to try the al pastor.

Name change. $4 tacos. Had lengua, fish, and shrimp. Loved the fish taco and their condiments.read more

Rolberto's is hands down my favorite, quick, cheap and delicious Mexican food in Elko and Spring…read moreCreek. Did I mention the Elko Location is open 24 hrs!? Nestled in the Elko Junction shopping center, Roberto's is quite arguably some of the best Mexican food in Elko. The Meats for the tacos are tender, yet crispy on the edges where they cooked it on the grill. The portions are beyond generous! The tacos are huge, the burritos are big and the carne Asada fries are enough for two! Some of the tacos automatically come with Guacamole and Pico. But If that's not your thing, tell them cilantro and onion only and they'll make it the street taco way. I love the Mexican sodas and Horchata and the shrimp cocktail is amazing with chips! The service is always friendly for me and they always recognize me when I come in for door dashes orders as well. I love that they're on door dash, it makes my late night cravings so much more accessible! Sometimes the wait can be lengthy but I promise it's worth it. Inside is always clean and well kept, however the salsa bar isn't always completely full. But it's never empty either so that counts for something. I will always be a fan of late night Rolbertos after a night of drinking or when the late night munchies hit! ...I may order some on door dash right now.

Between the fresh produce from Cali, the homemade 'Pan & Pan Dulce' aka bread and sweet breads, the snack bar and the fried chicharrones... I've found my new favorite spot in town. I've been there a few times now and I just want to keep going back!! First time I went I got some Pan Dulce, a dozen pork tamales, 6 Quesabirria tacos w/ consume and elote from the snack bar. I went home and between my son and I, we ate all the tacos and Elote. Then I, over the coarse of a week, ate all the tamales for lunch! And the sweet breads are my favorite midnight snack. The pork tamales were so fricken good! They were flavorful, even a bit Smokey and a good size! The Pan Dulce is amazing. I fricken love that bread and it's always fresh! There are no words for how good those Quesabirria tacos are. Ask for consume to dip them!!!! Best tacos in town hands down. The corn was awesome and I put hot sauce on it! The second time I went I found chicharrones con carne and just HAD to get some. Now usually I just eat it the way it is as a snack, but the lady at the register told me I should do it en salsa! So I made homemade salsa roja and cooked them in it. It was out of this world!!! I want to make it that way all the time now! Either way, this is a great place to buy authentic Mexican food and shop for authentic products!

We saw this location as we were passing through town. Our local Taco Time went out of business, so…read morewe were excited to try this one. It had been quite a while since we had a good experience at a Taco Time so we were hopeful upon entering. They offered the standard menu we were familiar with. I've always liked their sweet pork offerings and opted to get the Sweet Pork Burrito. My husband favors their crispy meat and bean burritos, and this visit was no exception. We also supplemented with the mexi-fries. The food was typical, and hit the spot. The mexi-fries could have had more salt to make them better, but they were not too greasy so that was good. The disappointment was the price. We used to eat at Taco Time for less than $10 per person. Now the prices have increased to exceed the $10 meal if you get the combo meal and upsize the side and drink. I think I'll have to have a really strong craving to return to Taco Time again and overlook the costs.

"Any time is Taco Time."…read more Well, not always. These places are hard to find. But driving through Elko, we were pleasantly surprised to find one and get our Crisp Burrito on. Place is old but extremely well taken care of and clean. I used the restroom (spotless) and there was a hand dryer in there made before the first motorized vehicle. But it worked and it was clean. Always nice to have clean bathrooms when traveling. Food was fresh, hot, and good. Prices are high but guess what? Everyone's prices are high now. I had to sign over a kidney for my meat burrito but the wife's bean burritos are still relatively cheap. Fountain drinks and fresh brewed tea. Solid choices.
