- foodMy first experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The portions were good and the food was delicious. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Las Vegas.
- tacosMy experience at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic! I can hands down say they serve the absolute best tacos in the city. The tortillas are a marvel – somehow both soft yet crunchy, which is just perfect.
- Mexican foodI especially liked the green salsa. I will definitely be back for this tasty, fresh Mexican food. It's a healthy option, and everything is fresh, not the greasy kind.
- beansThe rice, beans and chia lemonade were as delicious as my grandmother's
- carne asadabig tacos with carne asada and all the works
- chips and salsaI ordered the burrito and the salad, both featuring carne asada. Additionally, I enjoyed the chips and salsa, and an aqua fresca. The quality of the ingredients was particularly noteworthy.

Frequently criticized
- Mexican foodI’ve never had more not-authentic Mexican food in my life
- guacamoleI just ordered from the Azure location and the fish tacos were horrible. The guacamole looked old. And the fish had a much harder texture to it.
- beanswho tf taught them how to make beans? They’re under cooked and watery
- burritoI have frequented this spot for several years and today I'm sad to say I had a not so great experience. After spending nearly $85 for 4 of us, I couldn't even finish my burrito. The tortilla was flakier than pie crust.
- flavorThe flavor is always missing at this location
- foodThe flavor is always missing at this location. I don't understand why the same place across town has better food and service. This location lacks consistency with the food all the time now.
- food temperatureThe corn is the nastiest thing I've ever eaten. None of the food was even warm, and everything we asked not to be put on the food is on the food. I understand it's Cinco De Mayo, but that's why I checked the times to see how long it would take.
- food qualitythe food quality
- portionsridiculously small portions for the price
- tacosThe "tacos" was more mini burrito
If youre craving some classic Mexican fare, this spot could be a hit, especially for its tacos and fresh ceviches. However, be aware that consistency can be a gamble, so you might encounter some dishes that fall short on flavor or portion size. Its worth a try if you're feeling adventurous, but manage your expectations for a consistently perfect meal.

- peopleThe carnitas were described as soft, fluffy, and not loaded with grease, and the mini quesadilla was bursting with flavors. The place was clean and people friendly, leading me to believe I would never go to Roberto's again. However, my recent update paints a very different picture.

- waiting timetell you so it'll be ready in two minutes and then 10 minutes later
- serviceMy experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I initially thought it was closed, and then had to wait for service because everyone was in the back. I ordered the nachos, which consisted of just three piles of guacamole, pico de gallo, and carne asada.
- customer serviceseverely lacking in the customer service department
- staffthe staff contaminates food!
- Englishlady that answered had a hard time understanding English
- StaffStaff is very young and so lots of inexperienced people
- Wi-FiI placed an online order and arrived to pick it up, only to be told their Wi-Fi was down and they had to write down my order to start making it. After waiting in the dining room for over 30 minutes and growing impatient, I asked about my order.
- cell phonesCell phones are extremely dirty.
- communicationHorrible communication
If you're looking for quick takeout and friendly staff, you might have a decent experience. However, be prepared for potential long waits, order inaccuracies, and inconsistent customer service, which could lead to disappointment.

Disappointing Order and Bland Food
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I ordered carne asada fries, but when I got home, my order was missing the guacamole and pico de gallo, which are supposed to be included according to the menu. The food itself was bland and tasted old.

Ridiculously Small Portions for the Price
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the ridiculously small portions for the price. I felt the business model was flawed, as they seemed to be saving minimal amounts on ingredients like Carne asada, expecting loyalty without providing adequate value. I won't be returning, even though my kids have music lessons nearby.

Long Wait, Soggy Food
I ordered my food over the phone and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. When I arrived two minutes later and paid, I was told it would only be a few more minutes. However, 30 minutes passed, and I had to ask for an update.
It turned out my food had been sitting there the entire time. By the time I received it, the food was already soggy and clearly had been sitting for a while.

Food Quality Has Plummeted
My experience at this restaurant has unfortunately gone downhill. I used to really enjoy ordering from here, but over the last four times, the food has been total trash. It consistently arrives cold, and the meat is of the lowest quality imaginable.
The dishes are haphazardly thrown together. I kept ordering, hoping each time would be different because the food used to be decent, but I won't be ordering again. Every single order has been total trash and not even edible.
I spent $35 and ended up throwing the entire meal away.
