Sopes
Mae T.

I've been there before and didn't really like it, but I tried it again today (a year later) and now I'm mad I didn't give it a second chance because the rolled tacos were bomb. Service is always good, it's very clean inside. My sopes was pretty good. But yes I'll have to try more things in that menu.

3 tacos (Al pastor, carne asada, fish)
Lauren N.

Writing this review a few weeks later, and I'm still amazed by how delicious these tacos were... and in Elko of all places! Typically, I order 3 tacos at a taco shop. And depending on the size, I usually leave feeling just satisfied or slightly still hungry. After eating 2 tacos from Rolberto's, I was STUFFED. Each taco was overflowing with juicy pieces of meat. My favorite was the al pastor and fish taco. I appreciated how much carne asada they packed into the taco, but the steak was a little bland. I loved how the tacos had a green sauce (guacamole?) and pico de gallo already on it. I didn't even need any of the salsa I got from the salsa bar! These were some of the best tacos and I've had my fair share of tacos in the Bay Area and LA. Serious bonus points for the portion!

Carnitas, Lengua and Cabeza (top to bottom)
Adam S.

For a spot that's listed as open 24/7, I'd have expected average if not subpar tacos at best. Maybe it's because we didn't expect much that this place was so good...but I really don't think that's the case here. We. Loved. It. Stopped in to order tacos and got 6: carne asada. Abodaba, cabeza, lengua, fish and carnitas. Tacos were priced $3-$3.25 give or take based on the meat. While slightly higher priced than the average taco one might have readily available in say SoCal, the size of their tacos more than adequately makes it reasonable. Their tacos are tacos that have eaten another taco before hopping in the to go box. Huge!!! The winning meat for me was the cabeza. Perfectly tender/moist. The (very very close) runner ups were the fish, abodaba and carnitas tacos. Nowhere near a major source of water. Blasphemy? Maybe. But to me, the fish was right up there with some San Diego fish taco joints I've been fortunate enough to try. If you find yourself passing through (or visiting for some reason) Elko, give this joint a shot!

Best burrito period! Im born and raised in San Fran eating in the mission all my life. I know taqueria grub. Rolbertos carne asada burrito is a delicious meat bomb:: Basically a tortilla stuffed with a ton of amazing meat. No lettuce. Rice. Beans, cheese. Just a bit of salsa and guac. This is a great value for a-lot of delivering coous food. Great vegetarian Chile Riano burrito. Awesome desserts The place was not fancy and not the cleanest but we got it to go anyway.

Asada and adobada
Jonnathan C.

Was working in elko at a gold mine decide to come here after work. There's not a lot of Mexican places to eat out here. So decided to check it out. The menu is vast and you'll definitely find something you like here. I went with asada , tripas , adobada , and lengua tacos. For some reason only the Asada had guacamole on it. They do have a salsa bar filled with multiple salsa, lemons , and carrots. They do take longer than expected but everything is fresh. I don't recommend the tripas here , but I do recommend the rest ! All in all decent place to eat.

Got Cheetos Asada Fries
Rachel Macie H.

Long night drives require late night goodness late night goodness is something that you always need to fulfill your night adventures and they are making that perfect sustenance right here in many different ways! For me it was all about the hot Cheetos carne asada fries as that's something you just can't go wrong with as who doesn't love a pile of fries with a ton of cheese some super flavorful carne asada and sour cream I've had many variations of this over the years and this was definitely one of the best as the fries were perfect and their asada was just very yummy making for a delicious combo! The one order of carne asada fries was enough for two of us to eat it was a big portion that was perfect to share as by the end we were totally full and ready to drive on! This location is in a strip mall at the far edge so don't overlook the whole area when you venture in because I can tell you that they are doing it right here! Overall yummy hot Cheetos asada fries and a friendly staff that's cooking up delicious late night goodies that you can't go wrong with. Who knows if I'll ever make it back here again but you so know that I will find this type of goodness again somewhere!

Nickel and dimed for standard items that SHOULD already come on the food!

Food is always great and the customer service is top notched! Seafood risotto is my absolute…read morefavorite!

May 2026 Elko, N…read more Hmmmmm . . . 3.0 stars. Here is why. Arrived a little after 5 pm on a Friday. Two tables were already sitting. The hostess sat us in a separate room from the main dining room. It was hit brightly by the sun and felt like a second thought of leftover dining. Asked if we could sit in main dining room and she obliged. We asked about the menu and took time to review it. After some time we ordered. My husband had the chicken Alfredo and I ordered the PASTA MILANO which is described as: Chicken, Tomatoes, Mushrooms in a Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce over Penne Pasta. Sounds good right? It could have been good. But it was not. First of all, I never got chicken in the dish. The mushrooms were diced and very few in the dish. The only thing they got right was the tomatoes. I called the waitress over and told her that my dish had no chicken in it. She said well do you want some? I smiled and said well that's what the dish was supposed to come with. So I waited. Then I decided to go ahead and start eating my food because seven minutes went by and I still have no chicken. When the dish was originally served,, I asked the waitress for Parmesan cheese. She said we don't have Parmesan cheese, but we have black pepper. Huh???? of course you have Parmesan cheese. I have it on my Caesar salad. I really don't think she knew what Parmesan cheese was. I just shrugged my shoulders and took a bite of my food. Again, great concept. But the food had NO flavor. I added salt and pepper. Still nothing. I took the balsamic vinegar that was on the table and added it to the dish. There, I finally had flavor in my meal. But still no chicken. Finally, another waitress brings out a plate of squiggly worm like meat. She said, did somebody order chicken at this table? I was disgusted. First of all, it was not pleasant to see it look like that. Also, you should've offered to remake my meal, or at least take it back and mix it with the chicken. But to make me wait until my dishes is half gone and then bring over a plate of chicken is a poor decision. The chicken fettuccine had a good flavor. But the chicken was tough. Hard to chew. Not good flavor. I ordered a n/a Heineken. She brought it in a glass to the table. It was already poured so I don't know if I truly got what I ordered. Also the glass was too large for the amount of beer that was in it. Makes it look like it was half a drink. The waitress was kind, but we did not see much of her. She never offered to refill our bread basket. According to the menu, you get two baskets of bread and then if you want more you have to pay. We only got one basket of bread and never offered anymore. I was looking forward to some good pasta, and this restaurant did not deliver. Very disappointed in the service, and most definitely the food. The waitress took five dollars off of our meal, but she never explained why she did it or why she decided to take that amount of money. She never apologized for my dish, not having any protein, she never apologized for any thing. Management needs to teach staff that they can take ownership of the situation. It is OK to say you are sorry that the chicken was not put in your dish. Let's see what we can do to make it right. That would have gone so far. Instead, it left my attitude about this place as tough as the chicken in the fettuccine was.

If you haven't had a good family style Basque dinner and should find yourself in Basque country…read more(Northern Nevada, Southern Idaho and Oregon), you need to add The Star onto your itinerary. A classic restaurant in the heart of Elko with roots going back longer than anyone can remember, they have perfected both family style dining, as well as the perfect steak. At a glance the price seems a little higher than you would expect from some place like Texas Roadhouse, until you realize that the entrees come with literally 7 courses. In the photo below, I had the "petite" ribeye which was huge, juicy and perfect cooked, and came with 5 sides. Not included in the multiple sides were the two previous servings of excellent cabbage soup and Basque salad. When dining at the Star, you'll never have to choose between quantity and quality - every entree comes packed with both. Great service, a nice location in the historic Elko downtown, and the infamous Picon Punch all make this a very worthwhile stop.

I grew up in San Joaquin Valley, which was a huge Basque immigrant area. We went out at least once…read morea month to Basque dinner. The family style restaurant is pretty amazing. Though my father's favorite was Château basque, we would often go to Wool Growers. Definitely the most famous of all of the Basque family style restaurants. Star was very nostalgic and reminded me quite a bit of château basque. The place was packed. As you can see in the videos and pictures that was a line out the door. And definitely worth the wait. Pinchon Punch 2 x blue brain freeze Lamb chops medium rare Family style dinner for one (spaghetti, french fries, beans, cabbage soup, fresh baked bread, salad) Bread pudding Food and cocktails five star all the way. Lamb was cooked perfect. The cabbage soup and spaghetti were delicious. The salad dressing was unique and very enjoyable. French fries were fresh and perfect. We didn't really eat the beans, but homemade bread was fire. But our waitress Jenny was pretty nonexistent. We actually went to the bar and ordered some drinks because we didn't even know if we were going to have a waitress. Finally, when she came to the table, I told her that I pre-ordered some drinks from the bar. She walked away. About 10 minutes later, the bartender brought the cocktails. Jenny came back and asked us what we were ordering. I told her and then she walked away and we really didn't see her again until the Bill. The food and drinks were brought from a variety of people. When we needed some other stuff, I flagged down the waitress for the tables behind us and she happily got us what we needed (water, more fries, etc) I went to the bar and got another cocktail as we would've never gotten another one since we never saw Jenny. The bartender and the other server were quite friendly and helpful . We will happily come back here as the food was just perfect! And it was very nice to eat family style again since it's been quite a few years since I've been to Wool Growers. On a sidenote: Reno used to have a pretty decent Basque restaurant called Santa Fe. We went there quite often and they had the best oxtail stew and they also gave you a small bottle of wine with your dinner complementary... I really miss that place also)

You walk up to the counter and they have prepared food that you can pick out like at Panda Express!! Seeing as how Elko doesn't have a Panda Express, this is an awesome option for us. If you plan on getting potstickers, let them know first because they have to make them fresh. We usually order two boxes because they are that good. This night I got Mayonnaise Shrimp, Beef and Broccoli, Half Chow Mein and Half Fried Rice and of course the Pot Stickers. One thing I really love about this place is they don't charge you extra for shrimp entrées like panda does. The food is always so good and really hits the spot for a greasy late night Chinese food plate. But the potstickers keep me coming back coming back time! after time. If you're looking for quick but delicious Chinese food in Elko, Great Wall is definitely the place to go!
