Good friendly service, chips and salsa two different kinds of salsa. Very tasty. Large portions sauces tasted great on the food 2- combo Chile Riano and a taco. nice and hot temperature wise not spicy got plenty of refills . A little on the spendy side though. $60 for two for lunch. Soda & 1-desert. read more

Chicharrone Tacos, I never thought much of them, until a friend introduced me these here. Every single visit since, this is what I get. Perfect crispy every time. Dear lord these things are addictive. Also, seems like chips are house made. I could be wrong, but I don't care. Sometimes they are salted to perfection, other times not. Salsa is perfection. I asked them once if I could buy five gallons of it to take home, they thought I was joking. Honey Badger don't joke about salsa! Hand it over, all of it!!! Chicken Nachos. It's not high class, because it doesn't need to be. Prove me wrong, but get ready to name your next child after me when you experience this sheer perfection. Get an order to-go, for some reason the to-go version is better than sit down. The layering and having everything in containers to custom build when you get home, just works. Every time. Service is usually fine, but slow even when the restaurant is almost empty. read more

Good Food, Good Service, Margarita's were 'two for one' when we were there, good menu, chips upon arrival with a very tasty spicy salsa, an interesting item on the menu (one member of our party ordered the goat and loved it), and an Ice cold Coors. What more could you want? Well, maybe it's not good to be next to an InNOut. Will I be back? Yes....and I'll park on the side of the building away from the InNOut. read more

Great place for a large group or just a couple. Had 6 in our party and got a big table on the upper level. They didn't skimp on the chips and salsa and we had 3 baskets and 3 hot salsas and 3 pico de Gallo which was fresh and tasty . Our servers were attentive and our water glasses were kept full. I ordered Mole chicken enchiladas, rice and black beans and I practically licked my plate clean! Everyone enjoyed their food too and it all came out together except one dish which came in a few minutes but all were hot and presented nicely with guacamole, sour cream and a pickled Jalapeño. Prices are decent except the margaritas were $7 and we couldn't tell there was tequila in them. Overall I would recommend Murriettas for dining! read more

Friendly staff, great food! We've been going there for years and have never been disappointed.

Got some take out from this place for my wife tonight. Got a potato taco, Chicken enchilada, chili relleno, guacamole, chips, and salsa, and a side of rice and beans. She described it this way - Chicken enchilada - Really good! Chili relleno - *chefs kiss* my favorite! guacamole - good, but needed salt. Potato taco - kinda bland, very little flavor. Rice and beans - Really good! All that, plus a drink, for $27. read more

Warm toasty tortilla chips, salsa, pico de gallo arrives almost instantaneously upon getting seated. When any of it runs low, a new supply is happily replenished. I've been coming here for a while and would always and will always get fajita tacos of some sort... I definitely get too excited when I hear sizzling hot plate approach my booth. Chicken and steak fajitas are equally delicious so depending on my mood, I may just get the combination for variety. Lots of good memories here and one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in town! read more

Murrieta's - Chicken Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Today was my company funded quarterly lunch. We had twelve of us attending the lunch. The food and drink orders were placed ahead of time, thank you Murrieta's for allowing us to do this. We were seated right away! There was plenty of chips, salsa and pico for all of us to enjoy. Drink orders were taken and received relatively soon after we were seated. Within a few minutes of the drinks arriving orders of soup started to arrive. There was some sort of mix up with whom got what, but nothing to bad. When the entrees started to come out, there were names associated with the order, so there were no issues. The food was good, and our servers made sure to check in with us often to see if we needed anything. From beginning to end we were there less than an hour. Great lunch time service! read more

Stopped in recently for dinner. Not our normal stop, but figured we were close and to try it out!! It has been years since we've been in.

Awful, this was a first and last meal kind of place. Restaurant stinks like a toilet when walking in. No happy hour specials. Bar area tables ceilings falling down from water damage. Menu and pricing a complete rip-off. Omg, way too expensive. Quality and flavor is awful. Tortilla chips at table burned and too thin. Poor flavor. Table server was inattentive and poor. Do not recommend this restaurant. read more

I've never had a bad experience here. food is always tasty (though for me could use more salt, lol) and at a reasonable price. Been here several times with coworkers and family. my go to is the ground beef tacos. I love that they put them on a corn husk, so the shell does not get soggy from other foods. You cannot go wrong with the shrimp cocktail, though I recommend asking for extra avocado to make is really tasty. Sitting in the bar area or the standard seating, the service has always been just right and with a friendly smile. They have participated in the coupon books the kids sell, so there's that as a small bonus. Just note, the coupons are not good on the lunch specials, it only applies to full menu priced items. read more

Tonight my expectations were not met by the bartender who had her friends to wait on rather than me.

The food was amazing! The service was good, they were super busy when we got there and we had to wait a bit to get our drinks and menu but once we got our order in, everything moved pretty quickly! The place has a great vibe, especially in the evenings! The food is a bit pricey but definitely a yummy treat!! read more

Great service at the bar from Lichelle! She was only slightly offended when I wanted to add more Grand Marnier to my margarita to make it taste stronger and better! Friendly laid back atmosphere and company too. The cheese enchiladas were great and nice and hot upon arrival. Definitely going to visit again! Thank you forgot to take a pic of dinner but grabbed one of caramel churros! Tasty treat! read more

Overpriced, bad quality food. Place smells like a toilet. Not sure if it's the food or something else. Either way there are better options in town. Another thing, is during covid the place is packed most of the time, with no social distancing. read more

Another gem we found on Yelp & we are obsessed! So they typically have happy hour on drinks and tacos BUT COVID has stopped this so we order to go. I get the Murrieta's shrimp which is bacon wrapped shrimp with rice & beans, they're perfectly crispy & their rice is always tasty. My husband gets a shredded beef wet burrito with rice & beans. Their shredded beef is next level, it's so tender and juicy I highly suggest!!! The staff is attentive and friendly, they always honor their online coupons which is cool. read more

I love me a good Mexican food! So for a place that's not quite on the low end but also not too far on the high end of dining this is a great in between! We went on a Sunday night and immediately got seated for a party of 8. The staff was great. Place was clean and the pricing was fair for how big their portions were! I will also say that no matter where I get my menudo from it always stays the same so I knew it was a safe bet. Fiancé had enchiladas and that plate was clean because he finished it and said it was delicious! read more

Murrieta's - Menudo - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I was excited to go to Marrietas three days after Christmas, It was 12:30, and I was sure it would be too busy with after-holiday shoppers, but it wasn't at all... Now I know why. This is not the same restaurant I frequented two years ago when I lived in Reno. I immediately noticed that the table wasn't clean, the window was filthy, and crumbs fell out of both of our menus,.(which were falling apart). This restaurant needs a rehaul and deep cleaning. The service was spotty and slow. Now...the food was delicious. My husband had carnitas, and I had chicken fajitas, but sadly I will not be returning. read more

We stopped by tonight for a birthday bite to eat for my best friends 4 year old granddaughter. Our entire table ordered a plethora of dishes including a few appetizers. Service was friendly and the food was good. Keep in mind this places closes at 10pm, we were seated around 8:30 and walked out well past 10pm. Which we felt bad for. The staff was so incredibly warm and friendly there. They even came and sang her Happy Birthday even though it was after hours at this point. As we were leaving, all of the staff was by the bar area when you first come in and everyone wished her a happy birthday and complimented her on her pretty princess dress. As we left she yelled back at everyone ok guys I will see you next year on my birthday!!! And just like that a tradition has begun. read more

Tired of the poor attitudes of the employees. I judge a good Mexican restaurant by their rice, beans, salsa and chips. Theirs are all good! Good menu and great employees! You won't be disappointed ! read more

They give a lot of food and are very generous with the guacamole. The prices are also good. That being said, this comes at the cost of quality :(. Quesadilla: greasy and bland. It's just plain grilled chicken, cheese, and tortilla. Portion: 4/5 Quality: 2/5 Chimichanga: Very large and smothered with lots and lots of sauce but unfortunately just kind of tastes like the sauce on it. This is likely due to the chimichanga itself being bland :(. One time I even had a chicken bone in the chimichanga :|. Portion: 4/5 Quality: 2/5 Horchata: The worst horchata I've ever had. Went beyond being not good to tasting wretched. They give a LOT though. Portion: 4/5 Quality: 1/5 The guacamole they give is just plain guacamole. read more

Literally, one of the worst "Mexican" restaurants we've visited with my family in the entire United States. I place the quotations because perhaps the designs are Mexican-inspired? But the food certainly is not. Not only was our food very poor quality, but the server's attitude was the worst we've seen (more on that later). I believe the tortillas used for my fish tacos were made of corn glue, like the ones used at Taco Bell. The fish itself was literally rubbery as if it were either under a mild heating lamp or from yesterday. My mother ordered the carne asada, but was in name only. Her food came slightly above cold, but the server had the audacity to tell us to be careful with the plates as they were hot. The only thing HOT was the plate itself. My child's French fries were visibly soggy and were definitely from the day prior. On to the server: I am sure he was either having a very bad day, hated his job or a combination of both. He was shorter, looked like he lifted weights. I've seen a better personality on office chairs, but it's the section we were seated in so we had to make it work. Took our orders with a cold stare (garden statues would greet you more amicably), and seemed visibly upset the two times we had to flag him down. My mom was even afraid to tell him about the food temperature after he just got done arguing with us, the customers, about the fries being "freshly made" when they were visibly cold and stale. I am not one to not leave a tip, and this time was no exception, but signing the check was the ONE AND ONLY TIME he said "thank you" in a nicer but I-hate-this-job attitude. Needless to say, we're definitely not coming back. read more

Excellent margaritas- tons of flavors and they don't just taste like mixer (which is how it is at other places sadly). They do it right! Chips come out hot sometimes and two types of salsa's always taste fresh. The staff there is very friendly and attentive. They make great guacamole and ceviche too (not pictured). I feel like some places I go to, I don't want to try something new and risk and not being as good as my normal order, but here and always works out! read more

My favorite thing about Murrieta's is their happy hour. It's offered Monday-Friday with $1.50 tacos from 2:00-5:00 and 2 for 1 price margaritas, pint drafts and well drinks from 2:00-6:00. Love that they start the happy hour at 2:00! The atmosphere inside is very cute and service is very good. I also love that they offer a la carte items as I usually cannot eat a whole meal and like small plates better. The carne asada is very flavorful and spiced perfectly. This is a fun local establishment with great value. read more

We always have a great meal at Murrietas. The service is always good and the Margarita's are good !

Been coming here for YEARS definitely my GOTO Mexican spot whenever visiting Reno/sparks Great service even better drinks. The waiters are always on point, the food never fails me. If you can order from their bar and try their dessert called strawberry sopapillas. read more

We are in town for the weekend and just happened to come across this place not far from our hotel. The restaurant looked busy and so we decided to try out our luck. At first the service once we sat down was a bit slow for our waters, chips and salsa and taking our order. We were leery but still had high hopes. As the meal progressed service was on par for a busy restaurant. We ordered a serving of guacamole and it came out quickly and piled high on the dish. Everyone at the table kept raving that this was the best tasting they have ever had. We ordered the following: BAJA SHRIMP TACOS 3 Tacos filled with crispy beer battered beer, Mexican coleslaw, spicy tomato sauce black beans & rice. $18.99 (Very flavorful, filing and the rice was good as well-only thing I received a green sauce not red) CALIFORNIA BURRITO Your choice of steak or chicken, wrapped in a chipotle tortilla. Stuffed with French fries, guacamole, sour cream, cheddar and jack cheese. Served with chorizo cheese fries. $18.99 (So the steak burrito was packed and quite delicious but the star of the dish was the piled high chorizo cheese fries. Couldn't stop eating them) I would definitely eat here again. read more

The food is good here! Service was ok. I wanted to give four stars, but my food came out about 10 minimum after the rest of our table. So I spent a good amount of time watching everyone else eat. Aside from that, my experience wasn't bad. The lunch specials looked like they were great deals, but I wanted something more complex. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas. They were very satisfying. I liked the green sauce. This is a good spot for Mexican food. I will visit Murrieta's again. read more

Murrieta's - Shrimp enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

First off, this is actually more a 3.5 review. While I wanted to be able to give it 4, this is just one of those experiences I just can't seem to round up. Murrieta's has always been a Mexican restaurant I liked, but rarely visited. I think that's mainly because I used to go to the Sparks location with an old friend, and since he left, I don't really get out that way very much, and the South Reno store just doesn't come to the top of my mind often. For some reason, I always remembered it being kind of sleepy, but when we stopped in last week, this place was hopping. What I love about Murrieta's is the variety on their menu. They've got the typical enchiladas, tacos, burritos, and chile rellenos, but as most know, I appreciate those signature dishes that you just aren't going to find on anyone else's menu. Well at Murrieta's, those are the Pambasos. Hard to pronounce but easy to put down, Pambasos are small, light, and pillowy rolls, dipped in a red chile sauce, and crisped on a flat top to trap the flavor and moisture. They're cut to create a pocket, and then stuffed with your choice of meat. I usually get a chorizo, al pastor, and lengua! I love that they offer these meats on their regular menu. On this visit, from the minute we walked in to the moment we left, the service was impeccable. Our server knew the menu front and back, was great at making suggestions, and visited at all the right points in the meal. He made sure water glasses were filled, chips remained in steady supply, and that we had everything we needed to enjoy the meal. If rating on his service alone, it would be 5 stars. As for what we ordered, when we were seated I could hear and smell fajitas, and had my heart set on them. But as usual, I looked over the menu and made my decision more difficult by eyeing the carnitas. Fortunately Ashley and I decided to share both dishes! The carnitas were well seasoned, moist, tender, and slightly crispy from a little bit of time on the flat top. They were some of the tastiest carnitas I've enjoyed in a while, and it's a dish I'd be happy to order again. The fajitas smelled and looked delicious when they arrived, and they were served sizzling on a seriously hot skillet. Unfortunately, something was wrong with the beef though, and it had an off flavor which sort of spread through the dish. The portions on both were ample, and we took home leftovers from both plates, and our server got us extra salsa to take with it. I had the leftovers the next day, and while opening the salsa containers I noticed the green salsa had expanded overnight and sort of popped when opened. I thought air must've gotten trapped in it and dipped my first bite in. As soon as it hit my tongue I knew it was spoiled, and I didn't eat it. Kind of weird to encounter the same thing twice here, and I'm hoping it was a total fluke. This Murrieta's is close to home, and as our usual Mexican spot has been ok lately, I think we'll definitely give it another shot in the future. I know if that beef had been fresher, those would have been the best fajitas I've had in Reno, and just one more reason why Murrieta's is a local favorite. read more

Came here this evening with Michael T. - we were pleasantly surprised to see the place almost full when we arrived for dinner on a Sunday night around 5:30pm. We were seated promptly and greeted by our waiter who asked us if we had been in before. I always appreciate being asked that questions as it is a sign of good and personal customer service. After milling through the menu, we decided to share the carnitas and the combo fajitas. We asked the waiter if these were good choices and he said absolutely - two house favorites and very authentic. Perfect! As we waited for our food, we munched on some chips and pico. The chips were on the greasy side and thicker than I prefer. I had a handful and decided not to fill up on these as we had plenty of food headed our way. When the meal arrived, the presentation certainly excited me. For some reason, not many places in town do real sizzling fajitas and I'm happy to report that Murrieta's does. I also thought the combination would be chicken and steak but it included shrimp too, bonus! The chicken was delicious - nicely marinated and not over cooked. The shrimp were good too and the veggies were tasty. Sadly, the steak tasted a little old and funky. I had a few bites of the steak and decided to stick with the chicken and shrimp. After making my way through half of the fajitas plate, plus enjoying some of Michael's delicious carnitas, I decided to tap out and take the rest home. Overall, the meal was good. I would return but perhaps not order steak - maybe they just don't go through a lot of it and so it wasn't as fresh as it could be...? The service was fabulous though, big potion sizes, nice plating and a great family vibe going in the restaurant. For a neighborhood mexican restaurant, this place is pretty good. read more

Went to Murrieta's for lunch and I'm giving it 4 stars because the service and ambiance were good, the salsa, guacamole and chips were good, but I ordered the shredded chicken burrito and wasn't very impressed with the chicken. The rice and beans that came with it were very good and I had it enchilada style(with sauce over it) and basically all was good but the chicken seemed to be lacking texture and seasoning. I'd like to go back and try the carne asada or other dishes but overall it was still a good experience as the staff was super nice and funny so I will definitely go back. read more

Very good food had the chicken taco and chicken enchilada with rice and bean's definitely would recommend the flavor of everything was great had to get seconds on the salsa can't beat the price too read more

I have been going here for years, and its so great every time. Great food, great service. Signed up for the rewards system and I constantly get great coupons that I love to cash in on. The red salsa with the chips is great. These past couple of times we seem to have two servers, not sure what is up with that system. Provides confusion but very attentive service. read more

Consistently bland. The place can't make decent food There are much better options elsewhere. The staff is great and does a good job, but the food just isn't worth it. If you have that coupon they have, then maybe try it, but otherwise just skip the place read more

$80 order. I've loved this place for years, but tonight will be the reason I never go back. Frozen food, freezer burned food. Charged me $13 for the chimichanga that has always been shredded beef, now all of a sudden it's freezer burned ground beef. This meal was very expensive for something that was barely edible and most of which ended up in the trash. Where it belongs, because it was trash. When I called the restaurant to let them know they assured me everything was hot and fresh. Look at this freeze dried hot fresh cheese!! I called to talk with a manager and he brushed me off, said to call Grubhub and take it up with them. read more
