On our way to Vegas and stopped by Rolberto's for lunch. I had the Carnitas plate. The meat was flavorful and had some nice crispy bits to it. Price and service was good too. My kids got McDonald's next door and totally regret not ordering at Rolberto's. We'll definitely be back when we drive through Ely again. read more

Rolberto's Mexican Food - Mexican Near Me - Ely, Nevada

Out of all the Rolberto's franchise restaurants in Nevada (Elko, Winnemucca, Ely), this one is the best! Jose & Kelsey do an outstanding job at making sure they are providing quality food and quality service. I have not been to the other locations in Idaho but the owners should be very proud of the Ely location. read more

After reading Yelp reviews, we were looking forward to some tasty Mexican food. Though the portions were large, the food was bland. Service was good. read more

Very pleasantly surprised! On our way from Boise to Phoenix we stopped in Ely to use the restroom & eat. We were just about to head through the McD's drive through when we spotted the sign for Rolberto's. I decided to check the reviews & saw almost every review was 5 stars. We had to give it a try & we're glad we did. Being originally from Southern California we know good taco shop Mexican food. My husband had a chicken torta. He said it was easily one of the beat he's ever had. My daughter & I both had rolled tacos with guacamole. They were good, but the guacamole could've been a little thicker & more flavor. We also ordered a side of beans. OMG!! They were SO GOOD!! Additionally, we had a side of rice which was also good. Overall it was a great meal & I highly recommend trying it. The girl at the drive through was extremely friendly! Way to go Rolberto's! Two thumbs up! read more

This place surprised me. I stopped in to get gas and all their pumps weren't working. Then I tried their food, excellent simple Mexican food. I got the fish tacos, plenty of fish well cooked and tasty. A sweet sauce over it and cabbage to top it off. $5, excellent- I recommend it. So check it out:) Restaurant is pretty bare bones, working on a shoestring...nice people read more

Have been to this one twice and the one in Winnemucca multiple times. Too bad this one is further away because it is a lot better. We always order the same thing but you would think they were different companies. The amount of ingredients is about double, the other one stuffs a bunch of lettuce to compensate for other ingredients. So if you are lucky enough to choose between the two definitely come out to this one. read more

Great food!! Stayed at the hotel next door and came in here for dinner and so glad i did. The beef tacos are so good and the side of beans are amazing! read more

Great tacos. Way better than any of the chain restaurants in the area. Good tamales also.

Great yummy food, highly recommend you stop for it. Authentic Mexican tacos, burritos. Wish I had a bigger tummy to take more.

100% recommend to anyone going through Ely. We got the carne asada burrito, a number 8, and a churro cheesecake and it was amazing. the burritos where stuffed full of meat and where juicy and flavorful. the cheesecake churro was cold on the inside but warm on the outside and was crispy and so good. it was convent as it's a drive through, was fast, and the service was wonderful! read more

Looking for amazing Mexican food in the middle of Nevada? Are you starving but short on Cash? This is the joint for you. It is in a Sinclair Gas station but do not me alarmed. This place rocks. For $7.00 you can get a drink and a huge, delicious Carnegie asada burrito. Amazing. Not filled with beans. All meat. Get it. This is the real deal. An oasis. read more

If you find yourself rolling through Ely, Nevada on a road trip as we did...in search of lunch and sick of McDonald's and Carl's Jr. I urge you to give Roberto's drive thru a try. We knew anything would be better than a dry burger across the street but had no expectation of the amazing, authentic Mexican we would patiently wait for in the comfort of our car. We ordered 6 tacos & a side of beans and with it came a bag of fresh limes + 2 homemade hot sauces - green & red. The carnitas were crispy and perfect, the carne asada well seasoned and delicious. The tacos were large (heads up no street tacos here) and the refried beans...oh my the beans. If you love restaurant style creamy cooked all day beans...you've found bean heaven here. Do not miss Roberto's. I'm plotting my return, how to justify a 1000 mile road trip on the loneliest highway...just to get more drive thru beans. Enjoy. read more

Excellent taqueria, quick and friendly service. Everything we tried was delicious and very generous portions. The burrito had a massive amount of meat in it, and the tortillas tasted fresh and like the real deal, not those wimpy ones you get at the grocery store. Skip the fast food joints and come here instead- you'll get your food equally fast and cheap yet it tastes much better! read more

The Holy Grail of carne asada burritos. My husband has been on a Quest for The Carne Asada Burrito of his surfer days in San Diego. We have criss-crossed the nation from Florida to northern California and back, stopping at many Mexican (New Mexican, Tex Mex...) restaurants along the way. Each experience was worthy in its own way but none was quite the right carne asada...until Rolbertos. It was delightful. The outside was a gas station convenience store in Ely, NV, but the inside was the perfect taco truck in San Diego after a long day's surf. read more

This is NOT Taco Bell. This is really good Mexican food. The menu is huge! Fantastic salsa bar. Good prices for what you get. Ate there twice in two days. It was that good. read more

When you look at the place it will sure make you think about your life choices, but after ordering your meals and having them served before you even get sat down. You are going to be amazed at the taste and amount. Then lets talk price... wow you definitely get more than you pay for. Best burritos around. read more

I was looking for an Al Pastor Burrito, but i found Rolberto's instead. They give you some serious portions for their prices. Awesome deals, and really great food too. Highly recommend for a quick bite, and you won't need to spend more that $10 to fill up! read more

This place has the worst customer service of any Mexican restaurant I've been to in a very long time. After a long drive we went in with the family and add horrible customer health. The 15-year-old girl behind the counter has no clue what was in any of the burritos. After waiting for a half an hour I finally asked her when It was ready and she said it's almost done. 20 minutes later I went back and asked when it would be done and she was totally clueless. She never put the ticket up and they have not even begun the order. So 45 minutes sitting there with hungry family and we were the only ones in the restaurant and they never started the order. They werent apologetic and really could'nt care less read more

Very good. Service was great and very fast. The food was very very good. If you're in the mood for Mexican food go to Rolberto's.

Really good mexican food compared to other restaurants. Easily top 3 on my list when it comes to taste.

Great fast Mexican food. Everything tastes fresh made. The breakfast burritos are very good. Their hot hot sauce has a great flavor and it will melt your ear wax!!! read more

Usually have pretty good food, today was different. I didn't know the meat on the carne sada torta was a breaded meat patty. They replaced it with a different one, then forgot the fries that was suppose to come with my combo meal read more

This place was the bomb. Prepare to be full when you leave, their food portions were amazing. Believe me when I say it was full of meat, it was. read more

Roberto's makes a legit burrito. I was a little hesitant about the place being a drive through attached to the Sinclair, but their burritos are packed with meat and super tasty. Looking forward to driving though again next time in town. read more

The food is delicious and comes with great homemade salsas. We got the carne asada burrito and chicken tacos, both were tasty. Drive through is quick and a perfect road trip stop. read more

Masks were required but the staff, except for the cook, had their masks below their nose. When asked if the nachos had meat on them the young woman said she didn't know so we ordered chicken and beef tacos as well - way too much food. The nachos had tons of meat and cheese on it and it was good. Wasted a lot of money as we were traveling through and had no place to keep the food cool read more

Great Mexican food on Highway 50! My husband, who comes from LA, said his chicken burrito was the best he's had. Homemade salsas were tasty, fresh and complemented our food well. I really enjoyed my chicken burrito, too. It's upscale fast food in a simple setting. We would return for more in the future if we lived here. read more

Stopped to get gas at the Sinclair station, which is operated in the same building as Rolberto's. My brother walked in to get a receipt and came out saying we need to eat here! We decided to try the lengua and carne asada tacos. Wow! They were both great. Tuesday's special is Caldo de Res and it was Tuesday. So, we have decided to return for dinner. The menu is quite vast and lots of common Mexican specialties not found in most Mexican restaurants. Really authentic and we were both delighted. Spending several days in Ely, so glad to find this little gem. read more

My wife had the Tilapia and I had the beef Chimichanga! Both were excellent and a lot of food! Service was quick and efficient. I would definitely recommend Rolberto's! Go hungry! read more

We stopped by, I ordered fish tacos, really good, the fish strips are crispy outside and moisture inside, delicious, chips with guacamole is also good.surprising. read more

Leaving Ely after a one night stay, and getting breakfast to hit the road, we found this gem. We were headed to McDonald's and saw Rolbert's drive thru was open just next door. Strongly recommend this, our huge breakfast burritos were delish! I had the huevos rancheros as a burrito and would go back to for! Saving the semiconductor half for lunch;) read more

Excellent location, food and staff. We cross thru Ely often on our way around the west and live in CA where there's some good Mexican cuisine. This is the real deal! The food is fantastic and the staff are wonderful. They have a drive thru option which is very useful. read more

Awesome little mexican restaurant with BIG and great tasting food..pleasant surprise and I appreciated the previous YELP reviews to help me select this little gem read more

real carnitas, good size portions, carne asada also gets thumbs up! Recommend to friends

We reluctantly stopped here on our way through Nevada (we have been burned by many Mexican restaurants while traveling). They had decent reviews on Google so we crossed our fingers and went in. Very large servings! Service was fast, and the food was delicious . We liked it so much we stopped again on our way home a few days later! read more

I usually do not do yelp reviews but in this case, I made an exception. I've lived in Ely for many years and know good customer service and bad. This was bad. I ordered two each of two separate items about 20 minutes before closing. When I arrive home, there was only half what I ordered in the bag they gave me. Since they were closed that evening, I went back the next day to reconcile the half order I did not receive. Though they attempted to reconcile their mistake, there were no apologies for their mistake and I was given food portions much less than what usually come with that specific order. What there was plenty of was attitude and disgruntled body language. They've lost a long term customer because of this. Ill take my money elsewhere in town to eat. I would suggest La fiesta or Margaritas. Both have good food, no attitude and accountability for their mistakes. Take care all and be safe. read more
