Kelly B.

We have been wanting to try Roberto's taco shop for a while since they put a new one in Sparks near us! So we stopped into this one where we were at in Reno, and oh my gosh, this was the first time we have ever eaten at a Roberto's and I can say we will definitely be regular customers! The staff was fantastic and fast with our order, I ordered a taco tamale meal, she made special for me because I wanted a tamale so bad, and beans and rice and a hard shell beef taco is delicious! The food was authentic and hot and we will be back! Yummy!!

Worst burrito made of mostly refried beans

Tonight I had the worst burrito at Roberto's. I ordered a carnitas burrito, which I've had before, but this time, there was no carnitas in it! it was almost all made of gray refried beans, green peppers, and a chunk of half melted cheddar one one side. It was disgusting. I gave it 2 bites, then opened it up to see if there was any meat in it - and there were a like 4 strings of chicken - wrong meat! No rice, no guacamole, nothing else. My husband ordered a chicken burrito and his was ok (not great though) and full of chicken. Guess they ran out of carnitas and just slopped some refried beans in a tortilla. Gross. Waste of $10. Had a pretty good carnitas burrito here weeks ago - tons of meat, rice, guacamole, pico. This burrito was made of complete slop. Wondering if it was from the leftovers of someone's plate or something.

My late night cravings were satisfied! I worked super late the other night and decided to place an order online to take home. Roberto's is open 24 hours a day! I loved the convenience of ordering online, and my food was ready on time for pick up. I have not had the carne asada fries in years! I just wish the cheese was more melted. My chicken tacos were a bit dry but had good flavor. The fries were a bit on the soggy side in some sections but still edible. I ordered my daughter a bean and cheese burrito, and we ended up just sharing everything. Believe it or not, the bean and cheese burrito was my favorite thing. I'll keep them in mind for future late night cravings since they're open 24 hours. Do check out their daily specials and combos!

A memo
Robbie W.

Sorry probably give them a better review but I just can't at the moment. Their food is good I do like their rice and beans but I got here and waited 10 minutes before I was even acknowledged by the girl that was supposed to be behind the counter she was in the back and the guy who was cooking never even said hey so we'll be right with you nothing so I kind of stood there with my thumb up my butt. Now I really came over here for taco Tuesday because every taco place has got Taco Tuesday except Roberto's there is no Taco Tuesday special. And so I ended up ordering a carne asada platter and a bean and cheese burrito she asked me what kind of tortilla I would like corn or flour and I asked if I could have one of each and she said no! Now riddle me this why would it be so difficult to put one corn tortilla and one flour tortilla when it comes with two anyway instead of two of either corn or flour does not make sense so anyway if you come over here kind of be prepared to be ignored and no substitutions whatsoever apparently so even something as simple as that. So when I got home there was four huge flour tortillas and I really missed having corn because that's what I prefer. The food was mediocre wasn't anything to brag about but it didn't make my belly stop growling. I'm definitely going to try these little Mexican place down the street from Roberto's and see how they are because I'm not that impressed with Roberto sorry to say.

Carne asada fries

Just ate here for the first time. Roberto's is now in Sparks - I have no idea how long they've been here but am glad they are right down the street from me. I had the carne asada fries, these things are huge! They are flavor/ingredient packed and come with fries, meat, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, salsa mexicana. They are quick and give you a plate full. The asada was well done and everything tasted as it should. Only complaint is that the meat was a little too nervey (don't think that's a word but I think you know what I mean?) and the red salsa (on the side) was missing something.

These things are definitely two-meal burritos - which is the whole goal of ordering a massive burrito. The meat in all options was tender and flavorful. My dad is a huge mexican food fan and was asking about specific options. The owner came over and was speaking to him and offered us a free plate of tacos with his newest meat creation! How could we say no?! I really hope he adds this to the menu because it was the most tender, juicy, saucy, flavorful shredded beef I have ever had. 10/10 on the taco scale. My dad even said that it's the best he has ever had and he has travelled all over Mexico! My father in law is also vegan and they were careful to offer him options that matched his medical dietary restrictions. The place is cute with an adorable bar stacked with all the tequilas you could ask for and included an amazing mix of handcrafted cocktails. The habanero margarita is my favorite. This place will definitely do well and welcome to the Reno scene!

We stopped by here after the hot air balloon races. The parking lot is small but we were able to…read moreget a spot. This is classic diner style, with seats along the counter. Talk about vintage vibes! Because of this, it might be difficult for large groups to be accommodated all at once, or sit together. But for groups of 1-3, maybe even 4, it shouldn't be a problem. We noticed that groups of 4 took the corners, probably to make socializing easier. We were only 2 that day, so finding a spot wasn't too difficult. The good here is great. The chorizo is not great at all. Add avocado to everything - they give you a substantial portion! Fresh corn or flour tortillas. Attentive and kind wait staff. Nothing but good things to say about Carlillos!

Saw this pop up on Yelp and that it was rated a 4.8 so I thought "I gotta try it!" Well... I…read moreALMOST GAVE THIS A 3 star review but let me tell you the reasons why I gave the restaurant a 4 and the benefit of a doubt. (For reference, I'll return to a restaurant I rate a 4 but I won't return to a restaurant I rated a 3 unless someone I'm with wants to go to it). Here's what they do well: exceptionally good and friendly service, the portions are extremely generous given the already great prices, homemade flour tortillas, smooth horchata, great guac (finely diced onion and tomato in it), delicious bean and cheese burrito with great umami (love when it's salty and richly flavorful), being able to view the kitchen in action (people pay a lot of money for those teppanyaki show style dinners! lol), and frankly because they were already rated so high I figured the Yelp community can't be wrong! Here's what was less than impressive on my visit in late August 2026: my huevos rancheros sauce was bland. I could sense there was a hint of chicken bullion in the background but for the most part I felt like I was eating watered down canned tomato sauce that had been thickened with cornstarch and had a pinch of bullion. I was hoping for some acidity, some cumin, some spice-- something! But it just fell flat. I was also disappointed that there was essentially bits of raw bell pepper just thrown on top. In addition, I personally don't mind their deteriorating "ambiance" but I think it might matter to the average person searching reviews on Yelp so I gotta tell ya, it's rough inside; I'm talking exposed wood in the countertop, cracked and peeling barstool cushions (all they have is barstool seating by the way, but there's plenty of seats and they are lined up around a long counter that faces the kitchen). Now, I can't end with that for a "4" so do let me remind you of some of the good: great prices, good portions, friendly service, and lots of yelpers appear to rate them highly. My recommendation, perhaps try a burrito-- the simple bean and cheese burrito my daughter got (that I took a bite of) was fantastic.
