I come here after school and the service is great! The spam musubi is my favorite and I always get it

So glad to have randomly find this spot. Walking in it is very clean and bright. They have fountain drinks along with a drink fridge. Service (Camilla) was great and so friendly as if we were regulars. Tacos were amazing! Being from California we are used to having so many reliable taco spots so it's great to have found somewhere that taste like home. All meats are so flavorful, great tortillas, salsa is amazing. We are so happy with our lunch we are ordering some Hawaiian to go for dinner. Highly recommend! Very affordable too. read more

Service is A+! This place is rocking! They had many large takeout catering style orders and were a little slow getting our food out. The cashier/expeditor/server was awesome. She was very concerned and even brought us a few extra tacos. This is the kind of small business incredible customer service that creates lifelong customers. We will be back! read more

They share spaces with Maui Jane, but easy to spot from the parking lot, with their pinches sign. Quick service, took my order and seated. Friendly staff. I came by for quick bite after walking around dragon lights. I order the pinches taco with carnitas. The pork is well season and moist and flavorful. read more

The place was quiet I went later in the day maybe an hour before closing. The lady at the counter was nice the restaurant was clean. The asada was so seasoned and the burrito was definitely worth the money I ate it for 2 days lol. I will be going back I want to try the Hawaiian food next read more

Pinches Tacos - Asada burrito - Tacos Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Out shopping and before heading home we decided on lunch. Pinches is in the east side of Clear Acre in the small shopping center. The menu is big, like bigger than the shopping center! Today we chose carnitas and al pastor tacos. Excellent on both counts. Definitely on a short list for a return visit. Quick service plus good food makes for a nice experience on your lunch break. Give Pinches a try asap. read more

I really like that they have Mexican food and Hawaiian food. Wasn't busy when we came in on Saturday at 3pm and the service was great. On the smaller side but I like all the bright colors in this restaurant. read more

My taco cravings were intense and I was due for a fix! I left home to seek out a taco spot that I've never been to. I searched a few places and headed towards Oddie. A friend from work raved about a taco joint and I reached out to him, but he didn't get back to me in time. I was enroute towards Clearacre to see what "Pinches Tacos" was all about. Stepped in and I was so hungry that I wanted to try a little of everything. I think I got out of hand ordering. There were a few patrons, but their phone kept ringing and tickets kept printing as I looked over their menu. To-go orders flying out the door. (All good signs for me). Service was phenomenal, the young lady that was at the counter was very busy and still very friendly. I enjoyed my tacos. Their pastor and tripa were my favorites! Asada was a little dry for me, but a little salsa solved that problem. Their tripa is CRISPY and oh so good! They warn that their salsa is "pinche spicy" and their habanero salsa delivers. I'm not embarrassed to admit I may have or not ate most of these tacos. Tacos are my love language. Lol They're extra fuel for my leg day tomorrow. ;) I ordered their melon and tamarindo agua frescas to try and I think I've found my favorite for tamarindo. Melon was good, but sweeter than I like my drinks. They have a smaller dining room for dine in. I enjoyed their art on the walls. It's very colorful and not dull. The tables do need to be a bit of T.L.C. and more frequent wipe downs in between seatings, but we managed. I didn't use their restroom, but knowing they have one is a plus. My taco craving was fulfilled! They have a simple menu and would try their nachos and asada fries! I look forward to coming back for these tacos and next time you're having a taco craving check them out. They offer catering here as well, so inquire within. read more

Best bbq short rib I've ever had. The staff was so nice and welcoming even when my group arrived an hour before closing. Definitely stopping by this spot anytime I'm in Reno. Thank you guys for the delicious food and hospitality! read more

Said I'd update if the next time was as good. Well - it was better as you see from the clean plate. Been in Reno almost 10 years and finally found the perfect tacos. No need to search further. The asada and tortillas are cooked just right and the salsas are amazing. Green and red are so tasty and spicy and the 4 oz is the pinchiest hottest most flavorful I've had. Generous portions top it off. If you like, love, or crave tacos you gotta try Pinches. read more

Pinches Tacos - After - Tacos Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Honest review: I hate giving low reviews, but I was really hoping for a stronger showing than a 2/5. The bathroom was also communicated to be broken when a client asked for a public restroom after ordering food. The feeling of disappointment after you order $40 worth of food for asada fries, tacos, and a quesadilla. Clients are allowed to expect more. Service: 4/5 There were 2 girls working, a cook and a cashier. The service was warm and welcoming, however there was a person who came up and asked about their Hawaiian menu and the girl upfront couldn't answer the question, so it seemed a little confusing to have 2 menu options and not know your menu? As well as recommendations weren't really given when someone else walked in and was confused about both menus and what she'd recommend, but she tried...? As well as a public restroom being broken for your clientele? At least the 2 girls were really nice... Food: 2/5 -Tacos: 3/5 2 of 3 tacos were okay, the Al pastor had good flavor, but all 3 tasted like they used the same oil they fry the Hawaiian food in. These flavors didn't mesh well together, there was a piece of the outer layer of the onion that wasn't edible, and then one taco definitely tasted like it wasn't seasoned correctly? Expected more from this experience. -Asada quesadilla: 1.5/5 Unfortunately, the flavor was lacking that seasoning you expect from carne asada. It tasted very bland, as well as had a lot of greasy flavors from the Hawaiian food they may cook on the same griddle. There were some fresh vegetables in the plate, so points for that! The quesadilla however was missing a lot... no cheese pull, overly greasy, as well as the carne asada lacked flavor unfortunately. -Asada fries 1/5 At least everything was cooked. If you like canned cheese or velvet-a cheese, you may like these.... Like the quesadilla, there was a lot missing... the fries had no salt on them, the vegetables tasted fresh, but was missing a lot of the flavor from the asada which had no flavor from seasoning or spices. I was expecting a cheese pull, but instead was met with pinto beans and sour cream. It felt as if everything was just thrown together and the lack of flavor made it very bland. But it does get a one star for being hot, having some fresh veggies, and being cooked (which is the minimum you can ask for...). I REALLY wanted to come in and report something different for the community than what was reported by other yelpers, however, confirming this information is important to note for others choosing a place to eat, and for dining in or taking out. The ambiance was interesting as it seemed to pick up after I walked in, but people were just as confused about the menu, the bathroom for the one client who probably really needed to go; and the last one who wanted a recommendation that wasn't really given. read more

They have Hawaiian and Mexican food but honestly... I never have any room left after cabesa and tripa tacos. They also give you grilled seranos in the side. It's pure bliss. read more

great food and service! will definitely be coming back in the future. people need to try this place out!

Really excellent Mexican food. Hard to find better in Reno and I've tried most. They also have Hawaiian food which is totally bizarre but probably good, never tried it. I like the taco combo, good value and fills you up. read more

Great Tacos, great customer service, great atmosphere, great music and last, but not least they have a wide variety of cocktails, including beer read more

Service was very friendly. Facilities were very clean and the food was very flavorful!

Always delicious and consistent. Their taco salad is always delicious and love the tacos as well.

Chilaquiles torta is fire!! I recommend to add an egg and asada, it comes out big but it is really good!

Great place! Not only do they have great tasting food but the also have amazing customer service skills super friendly people definitely will be coming back to eat here!! read more

Authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine! Absolutely love their carne asada tacos as well as their quesadillas! They pair everything with lime, onions, and roasted Serrano peppers every time. Their service/pace is a little slow but their food makes up for it. Their Jamaica is very refreshing and always delivers! One of the top 5 Mexican restaurants in the area for me. read more

Came here to get some asada tacos. Told the guy I wanted 5 total. I heard him say 4 in Spanish so I reiterated that I wanted 5, and showed him with my hand to be clear. He nodded and said yes, five. Went home, opened it up and there were only 4. The thing that bothers me is that they're pretty small tacos and it's over priced. To charge me for something and not making sure to deliver what was paid for, is not cool! If you order from here, just make sure to open it before you head home. Tacos were mediocre. read more

Portions are worth the price. Seasoning was done well I had the pastor and the Asada tacos and I would gladly come back. Son had the chilaquiles torta and he said it was amazing as well. read more

I was honestly hesitant in trying because its attached to a Hawaiian place but HOLY COW its honestly the best tacos this part of town

I loved the food here! I It's the best combination of Hawaiian and Mexican menus. I got spam musubi and I would rate this a 4/5 because the sauce is amazing but the amount of meat to rice ratio is a little high on the rice. My friend got the bbq combo that comes with ribs, which she rated a 3/5 for the amount of meat on them, and the bbq chicken, which she rated a 4/5 for the delicious sauce. They gave us complimentary margarita slushies that were amazing as well. The music was great and the tables were clean inside. read more

We've been here twice now and it hasn't disappointed. The concept is interesting with a Mexican food place and a Hawaiin food place sharing the same kitchen, but we have not had any problems with the food thus far! Their burritos are delicious. Staff is very friendly. Reasonable prices read more

I came here to pick up a doordash order and the girls up front is definitely 10/10 customer service. Offered me a beverage for waiting & kept updating me on the order. Very welcoming place, but the customer service is something that made me want to come back and try their food read more

There's a lot of food choices and the service is good. I like their asada and the melon juice.

The food here is amazing! The service is great and it's in a very convenient location! Me and my family loved it.

First, I have to start by saying this place has one of the best owner/managers you will meet. When I walked in, he immediately greeted me and you could just sense the passion. He was super cool and let me try the Pinches sauce while I was waiting. The food was made with pride and that was clear with the taste. We have great taco spots in Reno/Sparks and Pinches is definitely near the top. That Pinches sauce is one of the hottest, but most FLAVORFUL you will ever taste. The standard red and green that came with the tacos hit too. I judge tacos by how fatty they are and thankfully I didn't get any fatty carne asada or al pastor pieces. We will be back! read more

The food here absolutely smacks. Such a unique combo of food and the salsa has a good kick. Make sure you ask for their version of a mango margarita too! read more
