    As a former resident of the 858 (San Diego) I'll say Roberto's is great. It's a bit pricey, but tasty for the price. I do wish the California burrito had sour cream, but boy oh boy do they give so much meat for the price in EVERY taco and burrito. We had an issue with pricing for additional onions, and the owner himself gave the whole item to us for free and apologized for the mixup. Great service every time, and huge (i mean huge) drinks. Love their horchata and jamaica-- guacamole rolled tacos are really really good too. Carne asada fries hit the spot every single time. Check out this place when you got some time (just keep in mind the drive-thru curve is kind of tight for larger cars).

    Inconsiderate customers who sat in there car eating blocking the drive thru rather then pulling to the front.

    I just want to give credit where credit is due. We stopped in here a couple times since our last experience, on Sunday night, I want to give a shout out to the two male employee's working. The food was very good and the service was outstanding. Very professional. I do have to add that they have a couple girls running the drive thru now who are awesome, but seems like there is a new person every time I have stopped in. So I will up date my review stars to about three. Sorry, the father who owned this place was such a good cook. The food really isn't the same.

    If you are from san Diego or know Roberto's Taco Shop from San Diego and are in Lubbock, TX and need a Roberto's fix this will do! Their menu is smaller than the original in SD but it works. The guacamole is not the real stuff but the rolled tacos are. The hot sauce is off too but close. The beef tacos were on point as well as the carne asada burrito. Great service! And lots of tables on the side of the restaurant plus a drive thru.

    The food was amazing. I got the California burrito. It was almost as good as the one I had in San Diego. I definitely recommend eating there.

    $30 for 6 tacos and drink. Tacos were good, only 1 tortilla per taco, so they fall apart, but good flavor.

    Tex-Mex is a perfect cuisine to me. I am not always craving it, but when I am, nothing hits harder…read more Through my years in college, I discovered Taqueria Jalisco to be the gospel and genuinely the best Tex-Mex in Lubbock by a long shot. My first time I went, my group of guys and I were put in a room with all the other white people. Not to say they were profiling, but looking at the rest of the restaurant's population on a busy Sunday, they had us in the gringo room. The food hit. I get putting a bunch of three-taco-plate-and-queso people in one room. I have not been back in quite a while, but I remember their menu being the most behemoth-looking thing ever. Every item had a picture taken on a Coolpix camera, and the text was almost impossible to read on the menu's busy background. That is proof that the food was going to hit. After returning, the menu has been minimized to be more readable, only slightly keeping that same over-the-top flair. The prices have gone up slightly, but where have they not? On a Thursday night, we were seated immediately around 7:30 and had a pretty attentive waitress. Like every good Tex-Mex joint in Texas, their chips and salsa roam freely through the restaurant, and the salsa has a good kick that is easy to manage while still having the heat everyone wants. They also have a creamy green sauce and other sauces they bring out by request. I ordered a combination plate with a crispy beef taco, a beef burrito, and a chicken enchilada with a side of Mexican rice. I added a side of refried beans because no Tex-Mex meal is complete without a big serving of refried beans to mix with the rice and crush with tortilla chips. The crispy taco was unreal. The shell feels like it was double-fried. It has such an incredible hardness to it. It feels premium. The beef burrito and enchilada were great as well, but I was blown away by the taco to an extreme. They have a pretty broad selection of Mexican beers, including Tecate, Bohemia, Dos Equis Amber, Modelo Negra, and Victoria next to your Coronas, Sol, and Dos Equis. Their margaritas are pretty great, if my memory serves me right, as well. I love this place, and I was glad to give it a revisit while being back in Lubbock for a bit. It is just classic and timeless. I just wish their menu was as much of an eyesore as it used to be because that sucker brought me so much joy. RIYL: Gaining five pounds in an hour. A good meal.

    After an afternoon drive from Ft. Worth, I made it to Lubbock to spend some time with a special…read moreperson. This was the recommended spot. I took her word. The restaurant is large and has plenty of seating. We were seated quickly on a Friday evening. Like most mexican, tex-mex restaurant, we were given chips and salsa to start. I feel like I'm not usually picky with something so simple. However, the chips didn't seem to have enough flavor. I felt like it could have used more salt. The salsa also tasted a bit off. Specifically, it tasted more sour than I would have liked. I ordered a bistec plate (not sure what it was specifically as I'm writing this a few weeks from my original visit). There was sauteed beef with onions, peppers, mushrooms, and bacon. It was delicious! Everything was flavored nicely. Went great inside the warm flour tortillas that were provided. The sides of mexican rice and pinto beans were good as well. Aside from the food, the service was great. Attentive and kind. I still wish I could have paid for this meal, especially now in retrospect. My Lubbock host was too quick and went ahead and paid for the two of us. As we left, there was something wrong with the doors on the way out. I don't remember that being an issue as we came in. One of the sets of doors just seemed to jam. It was probably just me though (it was). Overall, I'd recommend this place! Maybe it was an off day for the chips and salsa. Otherwise, everything was great.
