Reviews For Roberto's Taco Shop Hillcrest

I had to write this review. Great service. I placed an order an order for fish tacos. The nice guy taking my order said I'm sorry we are out. But if you wouldn't mind waiting I can make so.e fresh batter and make you some. They literally went to the store to get more beer. 10 - 15 minutes later I had some of the best, giant golden fried crispy fish tacos ever. I mean the fish was huge, I could only finish 1. This is what you call great service with a great outcome and for 4.70 each . I'll be back.

I am really glad Robert's is so close to my home base. I only go in about once a month but the cashier has remembered me ever since my second visit. And even though my order isn't complicated, it's still cool to have someone remember it. They're also always jamming out to something good.

We are in town from Utah and decided to try this gem. We are use to the "Beto's" and various other variations. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The California Burrito was amazing! We also ordered the Chili Relleno/Enchilada and it was amazing! The staff is super friendly and the location isn't bad. There was a drunk man talking trying to get Taco's after they had closed. Hopefully that isn't a regular occurrence? Unfortunately, I ate all the evidence of my visit, so there will not be a photo! :)

I don't know if there's lard or not, but the bean and guac burrito was really good. The guacamole was really tasty and tortillas as well.
