    Skimpy taco
    Tina P.

    Since it was 1.69 chicken taco Wednesday I decided to pop thru the drive up and grab a few tacos for lunch. I was super super disappointed today. There was hardly any meat hardly any lettuce and yes, there was cheese on top. I actually had to open them up to see if there was any lettuce. In the past, they have been worth it at this location, but I was highly disappointed today. They're probably was a half inch to 3/4 of an inch on the ends of the tacos that had nothing in them. I'm not sure if I will go back to this location. I hope the location in South Reno off of steamboat is better than this. They have been pretty consistent. No Bueno on the tacos today.!!!

    Visiting from out of town. Flew in late night and my husband found this place near our hotel still open and drive thru. He said $1.50 chicken tacos on Wednesday. I didn't know what to expect, so I got carne asada fries. He got chicken tacos and I was able to try it. Stuffed hard shell tacos, I was actually impressed with the serving size given the price. Hot sauce was decent. Carne asada fries had seasoning. Easy quick late night Mexican fix.

    We were looking for a drive thru on our way out of town and spotted Roberto's. There was no line in the drive thru so we decided to stop. We all ordered breakfast burritos and a side of french fries for my little one. Prices were decent. Our order was ready rather quickly. We got both red and green sauces. The burritos were smaller than expected but hit the spot!

    For years, Robertos has been my go to place for breakfast. Great burritos. Today, they must have been sleeping. Half the size of normal and even though ordered ahead of time online, still long wait. ​Small napkin bigger, wider and longer than burrito.

    **TOXIC FOOD HANDLING** Got a quesadilla, it was hot but the cheese tasted old. It turns out the quesadilla was from earlier and had clearly been reheated in the microwave while in the styrofoam container...the bottom of the box was melted. Not at all safe food practices...TOXIC and lord only knows what else they do to the food.

    Say no more! Great nachos with lots of steak. Friendly service and the drive through made my day!!

    Hard to go wrong at a Roberto's! Especially so early in the morning when you want some decent food, darn it's sunday morning, I could have had menudo. Gotta pay more attention to days. Always a consistent place for pretty decent food always and best yet, they are open 24hours. If you find yourself hungry at odd hours and you want a clean well lit place to dine at all hours, most Roberto's will fill the bill.

    Are the beans vegetarian or do they contain lard?

    Don't go to places that serve primarily meat, and expect a hypervegan cuisine.

They refuse to serve tap water and only allow you to purchase water bottles (cheap, generic kind), which is ridiculous. They give you salsa, but you have to pay for chips.

First off, huge shoutout to the staff at both locations. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. We had a group of about 12 showing up and ordering at different times, plus another large party there, and they handled it all really well. The patio has such a great Midtown vibe, and I'm always happy supporting local small businesses. We ordered a little bit of everything: ribeye gorditas with homemade tortillas, street tacos, quesadillas, loaded papas, elote, and I even attempted the AYCE tacos. The carnitas was some of my favorite in town, the guac was delicious, and my friend loved the skirt steak tacos. Plus, the three salsas they serve are all so good. Tacos are always subjective, but I'd absolutely recommend giving Ana's a try because there's something for everyone on the menu. The cocktails are fun too, and I'll definitely be back.

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...

They were attentive, even with the dinner rush. They gathered plates and provided water in good time. They were so prompt with the food as well. It came out fresh and quickly. We ordered another taco as one of the little ones preferred carne asada. Great service staff for sure. Must go to place, if your ever downtown.
