Affordable Tacos, Uncomfortable Seating
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The service was better than most taco shops, and the prices were affordable, with no nickel-and-diming. However, the inside was not comfy at all. The kid-friendliness aspect with old video games was noted, but their functionality was uncertain. On the positive side, there was free parking in a plenty of parking lot, and a ramp for wheelchair accessibility. The wait time was up to 10 minutes, and the atmosphere was rated 1, suggesting a less than ideal environment. The food received a rating of 4, indicating good quality.

Bomb Food, Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! Everything about it was bomb. I love that they are always open, and their fresh horchata is consistently amazing. The cashiers are always nice, no matter the time of day. I find myself coming here at least once a week!

Fantastic Authentic Mexican Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the authentic Mexican food, and the portions were great too. The service was great and the staff were friendly. I highly recommend trying the carne asada tacos; they are my favorite!

Good food, terrible salsas
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was good, earning a 4 out of 5 stars. However, the salsas were a major disappointment, described as 'trash' with no flavor and tasting watered down. Despite this, the overall experience was positive enough to rate the food and atmosphere highly.

Delicious Tacos, Cash is King!
My experience at Nolberto's Taco Shop was largely positive, with their food being the standout. I particularly enjoyed their carne asada burritos and rolled tacos. The service was incredibly fast, with a small crew getting orders out in a flash. The atmosphere was enhanced by classic arcade games, adding a fun element. My only significant gripe was the lack of a drive-thru and the short stairway access, which could be a minor inconvenience. When it comes to hot sauce, you'll have to choose between red or green. Overall, it's a place where cash is king, and I'll definitely be back soon.

Terrible Experience with Food and Drinks
I’m sorry but this place is terrible. It’s hard to screw up a bean and cheese burrito, fish tacos, a cup of coffee, and even the Jamaica is bad. Step it up Nolberto!

Best Place Ever, Great Value!
I've known this place since it opened, and it's truly the best place ever. The California and carne asada fries are fantastic because they come with sour cream, unlike other locations that charge extra for it. This makes it a great value for money.

Great Bacon Burrito Value
I had a fantastic experience with the bacon breakfast burrito for under $10. I added beans and enjoyed it with some green salsa that was very good and very hot. The restaurant is not "cash only" as I used my debit card. I would definitely stop by here and try this place again when working in the area.

Delicious Local Mexican Food!
My experience at this restaurant was great! It's a local family Mexican food spot that is both fast and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Menudo, which was all meat and yummy. A great bonus is that they now take credit cards!

Great Food, Long-Time Favorite Spot
I've been coming to this spot for a long time and consistently find the food to be great. My favorites are the Carne Asada Fries and the Cali Burrito, but honestly, you can order anything, and it's on point. Watch out with the hot sauce – it's spicy but good!
