    Sopes Platter
    Lexi V.

    My hubby and I stopped by for lunch not realizing we just found our new go to place. Our waitress was nice and welcoming. The sopes were filling and the enchiladas were amazing. Everything tasted homemade. We can wait to go back!

    Fajitas Mi Ranchito
    Suzanne M.

    Unexpected surprise. Very local and authentic Mexican fare. Busy on a Saturday afternoon. The servers appeared to be overwhelmed but were very gracious. We were served complimentary drinks for the longer wait. I enjoyed my fajitas. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Festive vibe.

    Flautas Platter
    Lynn D.

    I pass by this restaurant daily on my way home from work and never noticed it. The building on the outside is plain and set in a tiny strip mall. But walk inside and it comes alive with wonderful cooking smells and colorful murals-such a surprise! They also have a small bar with a variety of tequilas and while the margaritas look very good the VIP Michelada is the cocktail main character. It's kind of a cross between a michelada and a shrimp cocktail and it's delicious! I also really loved their chips and salsa-couldn't put my finger on exactly why but I couldn't get enough of them. The salsa was very smooth but with bold flavors and the chips were very fresh. For entrees we had flautas and taco combo-both very good. Service was good-only small complaint is that the beans were watery and lacked much flavor. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend!

    Don't hesitate if you want authentic Mexican food. A little bumpy but totally worth it to come into the Small restaurant. Service is friendly and quick and the food is absolutely delicious. I got the fajita sin tortillas .. because I just don't eat the tortilla. 3 proteins: asada, chicken & shrimp. Some guacamole.. because one must. And a Modelo Negra. It's delish. Do it! Come here!

    Chilaquiles

    The agua chile has beautiful presentation and good flavor Also tried the green chilaquiles those where amazing with the beans and rice Tried some tacos the tripe is the best everything else was missing salt Service was speedy and really nice! They have beautiful art on the wall and it is easy to have a conversation without feeling that you're being too loud or not loud enough

    Chile Relleno Plate

    A must stop whenever we're in the area. Food is good, hearty and homey - and we are never disappointed. Staff is amazing as well.

    Burrito Asada Con Huevo
    Carolina D.

    Stopped in for a late breakfast at about 11 and the place was empty. I ordered the Carne Asada Burrito con huevo and a Cafe de Olla. Sat down and my meal arrived quickly. Food was freshly prepared and served hot. The burrito was bigger than I expected making it totally worth its price. The cafe was spot on, exactly the flavor I was looking for The restaurant is clean and the staff were very friendly. Stop in and check out this authentic Mexican restaurant!

    Chilaquiles rojos

    Food was excellent. The beans and rice were authentic and homemade. The chilaquiles had a nice kick. The cafe de olla, delicious. Service and ambience were great! My mom is very hard to please with Mexican restaurants and she said it was delicious and worth coming back to try the rest of the menu. Abuela approved!!!

All the margaritas on happy hour were great. I also tried the Toro Bravo (watermelon), Chapo Lo-era (prickly pear) and El Malo (Mezcal). We got the papas bravas to start since all employees recommended it them. They were not spicy but very delicious. The sauce on them was a smoked jalapeño aioli. The guacamole was good too and very shareable sizes. We then shared the quesabirrias, vegan ceviche and the prime asada tostaditas. Hands down the best choice was the quesabirria. We even ordered another round. Everything is about $9 on the menu which is well worth the quality and portions. The restaurant is very cute with views of the river. Great vibes! The staff was very attentive and nice. I plan on coming back for more happy hours.

Everything met or exceeded my expectations. The standout dishes for me were the chorizo requesón, cilantro rice, short ribs, and pork shank--each was flavorful and well-executed. The guacamole and tostada were solid and had the classic flavors you'd expect. My toddler especially loved the cilantro rice, tortilla chips, chorizo requesón, and short ribs, which was a big win. The staff were attentive, friendly, and very accommodating. We originally asked to sit outside, but when it got windy, they quickly moved us inside without any hassle. The restaurant also offers open outdoor seating, which is a nice option if you want to enjoy the view on a calmer day.

    After a really fun day of day drinking,I found myself looking for something yummy to eat and maybe…read moresober me up a bit-I stumbled upon this little unassuming place located right across the street from Silver Legacy-Los Gallos Taqueria. Upon walking in,I was impressed with the patrons,this was a no frills crowd who looked like they were all in on a secret that this place was going to be a really good foodie spot.This is one of those spots where u walk up and order at the counter and they bring your food out to you.I loved the decor as you can really tell the owners are proud of their Jalisco roots.As an added bonus-I do tend to like taquerias that have pics of the menu items on the walls-always been a good luck charm for me that the place would be pretty good. We ordered a few things-A Super Burrito with Al Pastor($13.50)-it was pretty tasty-way way filling-killed my buzz totally-which I guess was the goal-I'd order it again for sure.We Also got a Shrimp taco($5)My wife is from Jalisco,so kinda picky with her Mexican food but she thought it was pretty tasty-one of the most flavorful tacos she has had in a long time.We also got the 2 enchilada plate with ground beef and chicken($15.50)-This dish came with rice and bean-I really liked the rice quite a bit and beans went well with the chips because of the added cheese on the beans.One thing I didn't love was the fact that you had to pay for chips and salsa-I'm sure I'm just spoiled from all the places that gives those out for free but I guess that's the way it goes-pretty sure it was like $3-no biggie. In closing-if u ever find yourself in Reno and u want something other than the commercial stuff they sell in the casinos-I would highly recommend walking across the street from Silver Legacy and walk into this little hole in the wall hidden gem of a restaurant and enjoy yourself a taste of Jalisco -you won't be disappointed.

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.

    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.

I…read morethought I was disappointed when it came because it was so small and the sauce was so thin. But once I tasted it I realized it may be small in size but it is MIGHTY in flavor. 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!
