    Bistec beef plate, very meh
    Suzanne A.

    The bistec beef plate was not familiar with an almost Chinese food like sauce of tomatoes and corn starch. It was almost clear rather than a dark, thick strew sauce The beef was thin, cooked and cut into squares like the thickness of a ham or bacon. The lettuce was placed next to the hot and was ruined with the heat of the sauce. The beans and rice was good. Would NOT have it again. I like the atmosphere and so very disappointing.

    Good portion sizes. Food is priced well for what you get. Ordered a burrito and it was pretty big. It fed me for like 3 meals. I just wish it automatically came with like pico de Gallo inside it. Appetizers were good too. The queso was really good.

    Went out for a Friday date night and while walking through midtown my wife and I decided to go to Mari Chuy's as we have not been there for several years. I've always appreciated the location and setup of this midtown location. The summer is especially nice with the outdoor patio. It was very quiet for a Friday night which seemed strange as it was about 7:30, maybe a little too cold for most people! But fine with us as there was plenty of tables and the service was quick. We ordered some margaritas and they mentioned adding an order of Guacamole to start. Always hard to say no to fresh guac, which was good and a nice addition with the provided chips and Pico Salsa. Margaritas were good, nice large serving on the rocks. They didn't offer the option for blended, but after reading some other reviews sounds like it is an option. On the rocks was fine with us though, just mentioning it for others. Both my wife and I decided to order Combo plates, I ordered the Carne Asada Wet Burrito and my wife ordered the 2 taco plate with chicken. The Wet Burrito is huge, but it wasn't very flavorful. Basically a burrito stuffed with asada, and the sauce didn't add too much flavor surprisingly. The tacos were fresher and more flavorful. Beans and rice were standard, but a nice addition for the wet burrito. Overall a great experience and nice dinner out. My critique of the combo plates should be taken lightly, I would compare them to any other typical Mexican restaurant and the prices are comparable. I'm looking forward to trying some of their specialty dishes next time!

    Chips and salsa

    Stopped in for an early dinner on a Saturday. As it was early, it wasn't very busy and we were seated right away. Service was very friendly, quick, and attentive. I had ordered the peach margarita. Boy was a surprised by the size of the margarita that came out! I was not disappointed, and it was very tasty but beware if you're driving (LOL)! The chips and salsa to start were tasty. The chips were warm as if they were right out of the oven which was a nice touch. I ordered the chicken enchiladas which were tasty and my husband had the shrimp burrito which he enjoyed. The whole restaurant is cute and i love the indoor outdoor vibes. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu and we'll probably try the south reno location as well!

    Mari Chuys: good tacos, vibrantly decorated establishment, and excellent service. This was my first time at Mari Chuys. I've been to some other restaurants in this plaza but honestly didn't know they existed. We figured we should give them a try. Upon walking in we were warmly greeted by the owners. The restaurant is painted in really vibrant and bright colors. The restaurant is also clean and looks like they can accommodate groups of varying size. It also appears that there's outdoor seating. Ambiance 5/5 Service: From the greeting to all of the waitstaff everyone was super friendly and polite. They answers any questions we had and refilled our waters multiple times without needing to be flagged down. 5/5 Food: I'm a big fan of street tacos. The ingredients in mine tasted fresh. The meat was tender and the food was pretty good overall. I couldn't quite place my finger on it though something was missing from the seasoning. Maybe more citrus or heat? By no means am I a taco expert but it was a few tiers down from my favorite taco place in Reno. 4/5 Also great chips. If you're in the midtown area consider coming here for some pretty decent tacos and great chips. The price point is a little more than some of their competitors but the service is excellent!

    Food was amazing, service was friendly and fast. Portions are so big as well! We couldn't finish it all. Also the atmosphere is beautiful, love all the artwork.

    We had such a great time Sat night! We arrived early and it wasn't too busy yet. The atmosphere and decor is so fun! It's a little small but they have outside seating if the weather is nice. The staff is phenomenal! So sweet! It was a friends birthday and they treated her so special and sang to her too. The food was decent. I felt it lacked a little flavor. I like salted chips so I just added it myself. I had a wet carne asada burrito, and it was very good, the sauce just needed a tad more flavor for my liking. All in all the night was a success.

    Fajitas

    Love this place for the ambience, the food is just OK. Love coming here Kuz the music is good and they always have street performers around in that cul de sac it's fun to people watch Food-wise: fajitas r a bit dry, But the tacos were alright, and their margaritas r pretty yum I think they have a location At Rancharrah, in Sparks, and even in the airport, I haven't tried any of the other locations Kuz they don't seem as fun as this location

    Lovely little place. We had fish street tacos with homemade salsa and homemade chips. We were part of a big tour food and mural group with a company. The service was awesome. The jalapeño margarita was very jalapeño.

Los Gallos covered those two needs perfectly. Located on the main ave across from Circus Circus. Kinda cool pawn shops too but didn't have time to check them out. Walking in, it def has the authentic dinginess that is usually synonymous with authentic tasting food. Lots of handmade signs and pictures of food on the walls. And also lots of pictures from their hometown. It was a Monday afternoon and there were many local Mexican families eating there which is another great sign. Ordering was pretty easy. After doing me best To order in Spanish I realized the lady working there spoke perfect English. Haha. I ordered a shrimp burrito with everything and 3 street tacos all to go. It took a long time for the food to come out. There was a large party order that they were getting ready so I waited a long time. It was so long that I expected them to offer me a free coffee or soda but they didn't. The food finally came and it was a solid 4. The shrimp burrito was tasty and the shrimp was cooked really well. The tacos were good too. I'll def be back next time I'm in Reno.

The tortillas and chips were so good! I'm so bummed that I live out of town otherwise I would come regularly.

They have a parking lot so it wasn't difficult to find parking and the interior was spacious and clean considering how busy it was. My man ordered an asada burrito and I got the birria combo. I tried a bite of his burrito and I liked that it wasn't extremely salty like a lot of places we've been to. My birria was extremely flavorful, the rice was perfectly fluffy and the beans were on point- I don't usually finish my beans because I'm not a huge fan, but I finished these beans, that's how good they were. They also gave us complementary chips and salsa. The chips were nice, thick and fresh and the salsa wasn't too spicy so everyone is able to enjoy it. 10/10 on the food! We will definitely be back next time we're in town, hopefully it'll be just as good next time.

    Given that we are from Jalisco we wanted to try out this location and let me tell you…read more... From the first bite, it's clear this place takes tortas ahogadas seriously. The bread arrives with that perfect crusty exterior and airy interior that holds up beautifully once it's "drowned" in the vibrant, slightly spicy tomato-chile sauce. The pork inside is tender and flavorful, and the balance of acidity, heat, and richness feels fresh rather than heavy. It tastes remarkably close to what you'd find in Jalisco, which makes it feel genuinely authentic rather than a watered-down version for tourists. We also got tacos dorados de papa and those were pretty amazing too. The micheladas and chavelas are just as impressive. They're crisp, well-seasoned, and perfectly chilled, with just the right amount of lime, spice, and salt on the rim. They pair incredibly well with the tortas and make the whole meal feel even more special. On top of the food and drinks, the service really elevates the experience. The staff is attentive, friendly, and clearly proud of what they serve, checking in just enough without hovering. Overall, it's a spot that delivers on flavor, authenticity, and hospitality, making it a standout choice for anyone craving great Mexican comfort food. Will definitely be coming back.

Positively delicious. The sauce might be thin but I ended up using a spoon to slurp up every last bit of sauce after the Rellano was finished. So I was NOT at all disappointed in the Rellano. In fact, because I was still hungry I had room for their homemade Flan. I asked for extra sauce if possible. I was very pleased. There are many varieties of flan. I personally prefer a more textured variety that I refer to as Rustic. I would call this variety a very traditional SMOOTH variety. The flavor is wonderful. It was delicious. And NOW I am full and satisfied. This restaurant is at the end of the shopping center. Parking is great. If you find this review helpful please VOTE!
