    Bacon breakfast burrito
    Melissa K.

    First time visiting a Roberto's. I went through the drive thru (no cars in line) and waited at the speaker for a few minutes and no one helped me. So I drove out of the drive thru and parked so I could go in. There was only one customer there eating and about six employees working and prepping behind the counter. I stood at the counter for two minutes waiting to be helped before someone acknowledged me and took my order. I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito. The burrito was large and fully stuffed with bacon, eggs, potatoes and cheese but it had no flavor at all. Good thing I grabbed a few containers of salsa or else in would be almost completely flavorless. I still want to go back and try their food other than the breakfast burrito because I do hear they have good food.

    Roberto's near where I live just opened last week (Today is June 26). So I have some errands to run in the shopping center...grocery, CVS, bank...the usual. So, I do what I always do and try to look up their menu online before I go, just to get the lay of the land. I was pushed immediately into an ordering tab that I could not get out of and had to manually go back to the home page. One strike against you already. I still have to go to the CVS, bank, and grocery. Do you think I am ready now? This is a bad start. I'll resume after my errands. Roberto's is a typical fast food place. It has the tile floors, the inexpensive tables and chairs. I've seen worse, and I've seen better (but then I've eaten at some pretty shady places in my lifetime...including Waffle House at 2:00 a.m. We shared a table with a father and adult daughter. I asked them, on a scale of 1-6, how would you rate this place? They said 5/6. Ok. Good! I asked my mother, on the scale of your two favorite Mexican restaurants and Taco Bell, how do you rate Roberto's? She said, "Much better than the Bell, not worthy to plan on, but if I happen to be going from here to there and am hungry. I'll stop." My rating, on a scale of 1-10 (my scale, my rules) is a solid 5.8. I had the Wednesday taco special, which was chicken. The chicken was a bit dry and under seasoned. What amazed me was the fried taco shells. But the salsa bar made up for it! They were $1.50 each, so I was expecting something small and ordered 4. They are HUGE! I took two home!!! This is not really a dine in place. I don't think they have an alcohol license. Think fast food, not mid or fine dining. Mom and I spent $11.00, and I took half of my food home. If you are on the move, eat there!

    Food: delicious Service: disappointing Drive thru was closed (should have been the first red flag), order then took 44 minutes... for a bean and cheese burrito and a carne asada burrito. When I picked it up the guy just said "sorry about the wait" (I wonder if he had any idea how long it had been). Notable: my carne asada didn't have any beans in it (maybe that's how they make them here?) But, they are new. I'll give them another chance. Hopefully they'll iron out the kinks.

    So we were so excited to try the new Roberto's taco shop on Steamboat Parkway. We got home and our 11.40 taco combination plate looks like $.99 tacos hardly any lettuce and wilted. . I asked for beans and beans no rice I got rice and beans, my taco shells were cracked apart. Very weak for the price. That's too bad because Robertos is one of our favorites. I understand that they are new. But the young gentleman looked at the plates. He took them back to the counter by the kitchen, looked at the plates and the manager knew there was something wrong and they sent it out anyway. I would Make sure I eat it in house so that I could correct that problem before I got home. Kind of disappointing for Robertos. we also ordered a Chile relleno and cheese enchilada and the cheese in the enchilada was not even melted even by the time we got home. I guess I'll stick to the taco night on Wednesday if that's what they're gonna look like. Normally I would've given Robertos higher stars for their food Very disappointed..!!! Rice and beans cost nothing. And I do understand there is overhead., but not a good start. Hardly any meat in the tacos. For 11.40 skimping on product will NOT grow your business. I understand each is separately owned but you might want to step it up and make it right.

    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...

Not much quantity so we had to ask for more. They gave us a little more. Seemed kind of stingy. Ambiance - Decent size location. Not busy at all on a Friday prime dinner time. This should have been a sign... Table, booth, and bar seating. Limited mall parking in front, but no problem getting a good space. Your outside signage needs some repairs. Service - Just okay. I had to ask for everything; utensils, more chips, etc. The younger female employee was better than the older one. Price - $19; reasonable. Plus a more generous tip then earned... But I did NOT appreciate the hidden charges. 50¢ extra for chorizo. 3.5% credit card fee. If you disclosed it, it would NOT have made a difference, but nowhere on the menu nor did any employee mention these additional charges. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2018...?

The bread is somehow soaked in a sauce but still crunchy just beneath the sauce, and springy/chewy in the middle. The flavors are rich and amazing.
