FANTASTIC!!!! What a great find. I don't even know where to begin…read more Tastebuds are dancing with happiness right now. Too often you go to a Mexican restaurant that's sadly been Americanized....not here! Everything we order had so much flavor and tasted superb. The spices used were perfect!!!! The Armadillo OMG was so good. Came out sizzling and remained super hot throughout the time we were there. Served with a generous plate of rice, beans and several tortillas ...I'm excited to have it again for leftovers. They did not skimp on anything! You definitely got your moneys worth. My Husband ordered the taco platter and we shared the Quesabirra. Both were filled full! Excellent flavors. Omg..the Cafe de olla was divine. Perfect end to the meal. So yummy! Claudia, you made our meal even better! Your smile, laughter, welcoming presence, attentiveness was spot on. Thank you for making our night the best. Mi Ranchito. Thank you!

Rarely do I write a review after just 1 visit, but I'm making an exception for this little gem!…read more I've known of this place for years, but never stopped in before. I was glad that I did finally drop in. Located in a little strip mall on Valley Road, it's an unassuming place from the outside. The inside is small, but comfortable and it felt very "homey". When I walked in, the first thing that hit me was the smell of delicious food wafting through the air. The tastes did not disappoint. We were greeted and sat promptly by a personable young man that brought us water. The owner then brought us our drinks...a margarita for my dining companion and a Mandarin Jarritos for me. My sip of the margarita tasted amazing! Great balance and flavor. We also received a basket of chips and salsa. You could tell that they were made fresh to order. The chips were crispy and hot. The salsa was outstanding...fresh cilantro...balanced combination of flavors with a nice, subtle kick of spiciness at the back end. Not too spicy...just right. I usually have to ask for something hotter...not in this case. The food was amazing! My dining companion ordered the Chile Relleno plate and I got the Molcajete. The prices are outstanding and the amount of food? Huge plates! My Molcajete was sizzling hot and overflowing with chicken, beef, shrimp, nopales and ground beef mixed with veggies. A large plate of refried beans and spanish rice also accompanied this presentation. Fresh, hot, delicious corn tortillas rounded out each of our orders. We were also given a couple of squeeze bottles of sauces...green and red...to add to our meals if we wanted. Freshly made and the bottles were presented in a plastic tub filled with ice to keep them cold. Great addition to the already amazing food! There's also a nice selection of Mexican hot sauces on the table for you to choose from. We both took to-go boxes...so much food! Mine lasted for 2 more meals! I plan to return on a regular basis...this is now one of my favorite local places for great Mexican food. As always, I suggest that you visit to see what YOU think...

I hit Reno up on all the major Reno holidays…read more You know, Hot August Nights-Nugget Rib Cook-Off, Santa Pub Crawl, you know, the big ones. So my version of Reno is what it was like in the early 90s when Reno was packed every weekend with gamblers from all over Northern California. These days it's only like that during the big event weekends, other weekends it's kind of a ghost town, but you go up to Reno on the right weekend and it's truly booming. Well every single time I go to Reno during those busy weekends, I 100% of the time stop at Los Gallos Taqueria. It's always busy on these weekends, a lot of times with lines to the door and it always passes one of my major "taqueria" tests that I promised myself never to divulge publicly. The place isn't fancy at all, they don't have an ideal table or ordering setup. They don't have any of the bells and whistles you would expect these days from most modern taquerias. I wouldn't say the service is bad, but it's just dry, unless you speak Spanish like my wife, then it's 5 star treatment like they were long lost family members. I would describe the service as efficient otherwise. But what this place has going for it is two major things, location, being right on N Virgina Street right across from Silver Legacy and incredible tasting authentic food. The family who runs this spot has roots from Jalisco Mexico and you can taste it in the food, it's so tasty. This food takes me back to eating in Jalisco. It's not too expensive either, though you would think it would be considering its location. I've had the tacos, burritos, tortas, enchiladas. I've tried the carne asada, the shrimp, the chicken, the birria. All of it super top-notch. They do charge for chips and salsa but I'm ok with that because complimentary chips and salsa is just a way for spots to raise the cost of the menu items and this place keeps their prices low. The micheladas here are pretty good as well, they have an excellent recipe. They do have bathrooms, but like everything else here, it's an interesting journey to get there through the back of the restaurant. Overall, I would say this place is really great at making great tasting authentic food and would recommend trying it out, I've enjoyed it every time. PS-Small disclaimer, I have never eaten here sober, so I hope that didn't affect my ratings.

However, nothing could have prepared us for the dinner that we had last night! My food looked amazing, and the waitress said it barely made out of the kitchen because the staff wanted to eat it on spot! Purposeful Pick Atmosphere: Warm, welcoming, and full of character. The open garage door creates a seamless indoor/outdoor space that opens onto a lovely patio. The only thing I'd change is that the music was just a bit too loud for my taste. It was very difficult to hold a conversation. Plant-Based Friendly: Their vegetarian burrito can easily be made vegan, making it a wonderful option for those looking for plant-based choices. Dog-Friendly: Their outdoor patio welcomes dogs, making it a great stop if you're out exploring with your four-legged companion. Service: The staff was absolutely phenomenal. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. The Food: I honestly wasn't expecting to be this impressed. The vegetarian burrito absolutely blew me away. With one simple modification, it can become vegan, and every bite was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The homemade chips and salsa were incredible too.

There was one customer eating inside and no cars in the lot. A week ago, I decided maybe drive thru wasn't the best way so I went inside to order. I was inside the place waiting at the front counter for more than 6 minutes until I walked out of a completely customerless business, and I know why. There was at least one person working that I could see that never made any attempt to acknowledge me. Sorry NTG, I am not going to beg to get helped and I am sure if your employees think customers are too annoying to help, I am sure the food would have sucked too.

Quite authentic Hawaiian food. If you go to Hawaii, this is the kind of food that the locals eat. Well cooked, simple, fairly cheap food made from scratch. Yes, for the American palate, some of it could use more seasoning, and maybe a better marinade. Are there things that can be improved? Absolutely. The "Mexican" influences are horrible, for example. The Kalua pig lacks salt and pepper. But I'm from Hawaii, and if you want better food than this in Hawaii, you'd have to pay twice or three times as much and go to a sit down brick and mortar. When comparing to other Hawaii themed stuff in Reno, there is no comparison. No relationship to the owner, btw. read more

If you're looking for a spot that hits the mark every time, you have to check out Kenji's. It's a total hidden gem, and honestly, I have never had a bad experience here. The food is solid every time, and it really does the job when you're craving something flavorful and unique. The vibe when you walk in is amazing--it's got such a cool, welcoming energy. Their plates are amazing, but honestly, there is so much to choose from on the menu and lots of meats to pick from that I always leave wanting to try so much more. Whether you're a local or just passing through Reno, this place is a winner for a consistently great meal! read more

The ayce setup still gives you a lot on each dish and you risk over ordering and get the dreaded wasted food surcharge. Until they set their prices to a steal I would visit this place cautiously or it will drain your weekly dining budget quickly. Staff still is friendly like always and the place is always good to bring a big group but I wish they would make it "local" friendly on the pocket. If they perhaps gave smaller dishes each time you order beef you could order more variety but it limits you because one plate of beef is good to feed some people a full meal. That then defeats the purpose of ayce. A la carte items is also priced so high you cant get more than one dish for each person to get variety. To sum it up, they've rigged it to have each person spend at least 40 to 50 dollars to have a reasonably enjoyable experience here trying their many good items.

We literally almost 100% passed it lol Luckily no one was coming so we were able to back up. Now as soon as you open your car door, the smoke flavors are in the air. We went inside and were promptly greeted by 3 wonderful ladies that truly helped us on our 1st visit. We opted for the combo plate of ribs (tender pull off the bone) and brisket (moist tender and full of flavor). If you can do those right, then you are a damn good pit master! You can get either 1 side and 1 cornbread, or 2 sides with no cornbread! Love this option. We also tried 1 hot link. Did ask a question never thrown at them I guess lol. Wanted to know if it was a finer or coarser grind in the hot link. Since no one knew, we took a chance and were told if we did not like it, they would refund us for it. Well, it is a finer grind and very flavorful. So glad we opted to try it. While we ate, regulars were coming often, known by name and what they order. Love places like this. They do sell bottled beer in the cool case. We will definitely be going back on our next trip there. Thank you Brothers BBQ for such a great 1st time experience at your place! I managed to miss the pic for the link.
