Roberto’s Taco Shop

On a whim headed back to Vegas from the Hoover Dam we spotted a plaza and looked for food. We saw Robertos it was empty but other Unilocalers had good things to say and they were all right! Carne Asada plate was a bargain for 8.50. The guacamole was Delicious, the beans were so creamy and seasoned perfectly. everything was fresh and prepared as asked. A bare bones place but The food is the star here and the kind folks behind the counter took pride in their food and work. Well done, highly recommend.

I like this place! Excellent food at a great price and it’s quick. I had the chicken taco/​enchilada combo for $ 6.50. How can you beat that. Not a fast food assembly-​line burger, sandwich, or whatever in a TV land atmosphere, so why the three stars only. Because as good as this place is, and it is, 4 and 5 stars should be for places where you’re being seated and served, that have table cloths and waiters, views and desserts.
Not trying to be snobbish just explaining my idea of the rating system.
Eat here, you’ll like it.

Although there are many Roberto’s in town, this one is by far the best. I’m not sure what they do different, but I’m disappointed every time I go to a different one.

It’s a decent little spot with a wide variety and good prices usually the food is pretty good and the employees are pretty fast. If your passing through boulder city or just want something quick but don’t want McDonald’s type food then this is the place for you.

Great food and many choices! The chicken enchiladas were spicy and yummy! Only thing that would have been better was a beer!

Found this place on the way out to hoover dam. Great food for a decent price. The chimichanga is literally the best I have ever eaten. Portions are huge! Atmosphere is very casual.

Coming through from California & found this place on Unilocal.DELICIOUS food! Some of the best carnitas I’ve ever had! Generous portions and beautiful food! Salsas are amazing as well. Highly recommend!

Shhhh! This is our favorite chicken taco lunch. Inexpensive, packed with delicious shredded chicken and cheese. Hometown best bet.

Roberto’s Breakfast Burritos are the best, in my opinion! Not only are they tasty and delicious but they are very affordable and you get a big filling. This particular location is just off the highway tucked away in a plaza area. The staff and cooks are very nice and fast with your food that they cook in front of you, if you desire to watch them make your food.

There are huge portions for a good price here, and I thought the salsa and pickled Jalapeño bar were both spot on. The tostada was good as were the beans. My issue here was that the food should have been hotter (temperature). The cheese was put on but never put in a broiler or something to melt, leaving me with a lot of unmelted cheddar in and on top of the enchilada. Given the options in this town, it’s a solid place to go, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get here.

We were looking for a quick place to grab a «snack» in Boulder City. Perfect.
Food was ok. I was kind of dumb and ordered a ‘platter’ for a snack, so I had way too much food. (a beef burrito and a cheese enchilada with beans and rice.)
The food came up quickly, but the cheese in my enchilada was not melted. At all. I didn’t want to make a fuss so I just ate it.
Burrito was ok — just meat, I think. The tortilla was really soft and chewy though.
Co-​guests had tacos that looked good. I should have just kept to a ‘snack’.

Yummy tacos! And the guy at the drive thru last night was f***ing awesome. So telling my friends in StL about this place. And going back before we leave.

Hubby and I came here on the way back home from our grand canyon trip. It got good reviews but we decided for us it was just a 3 star Mexican place. Not half bad, but not overly terrific either!
My burrito was huge and I was so hungry I stuffed it down so fast but than I couldn’t finish the nachos we ordered with our meal. It was a decent burrito.
Going to the bathroom scared me a little bit, the bathroom was sketchy and we were there kind of late there wasn’t a soul in sight except for us and the employees of the taco place.

How does this place only have 4 stars and 9 reviews? The food is fantastic and the price is very nice.

We were starving on the way back to Las Vegas from the Hoover Dam. I was on Unilocal trying to find a place to stop and stumbled on this gem. My husband always says «4 stars and 1 Dollar Sign? I’m in.» Roberto’s Taco Shop did not disappoint.
CARNE ASADA FRIES. Do it. You will have dreams about these fries. They are just that amazing. Honestly, the hubby and I ordered two combos and we both just ate on these fries. I had the beef taco and cheese enchilada combo plate – I can’t tell you anything about them (other than the rice and beans were tasty).
The carne asada fries on the other hand — -The fries were crispy, fresh, hot, and amazing and topped with a heaping pile of juicy, hot carne asada meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream. I took turns with the green and red salsas for dipping. This are insanely delicious.
Tourists — DO NOT PASS THIS PLACE UP. It’s a must try on the drive between the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas. Get the fries!

While heading out to the lake to fish with the boy, we stopped in for a high calorie meal knowing it would be hours before we ate again. The morning crew (server & cook) were not very friendly. WTF! I said good morning and I was smiling. Sadness crept over me until I saw a «local» being received with much adoration. I get it. I ordered up some carne asada which I found to dry and without flavor. Next time before punching out of Hendo, I will hit another south of the border eat spot.

Best in Boulder. Next to the bong shop so the clientele reflect a hipper crowd than this boomer’s but the food is so good and cheap

I read the reviews on Unilocal and decided to try it. Don’t go for atmosphere – go for good reasonably priced food. My cheese enchilada platter was delicious and my husband’s chicken taco/​enchilada combo was loaded with chicken. We were both very pleased with our lunch selections.

This was just a little hole in the wall and it was fantastic! The menu board on the wall with the photos reminded me of a take-​out Chinese place which was pretty funny! I had a burrito and it was fresh and tasty. They also seemed to have fun chatting with their regular customers which seemed to have a steady steam in while I was there.
A definite stop for an inexpensive plate of Mexican food if you are in the area

Ah, I miss the delicious crispy chicken tacos so much! Shredded white meat, perfectly season, fried in a corn tortilla until it is crisp but still tender and topped with cheese and lettuce. Can’t find anything like it in California. Definitely stop here if you’re in town. Great service and wonderful food!
