| - I decided to check out Roberto's Taco Shop for a quick lunch one day, and have heard good things about this chain. Service was relatively fast, and you actually receive your food at the counter after you order before you pay for it. Prices were relatively inexpensive, especially considering the portion sizes.
I ended up trying something that I'd never had before: machaca. It was basically stir-fried shredded beef with egg and some onions/bell peppers. I thought it was pretty tasty, and was filling given the amount of egg, plus it was served with rice, beans, shredded lettuce, and your choice of flour or corn tortillas. There is a small complimentary self-serve salsa and condiments bar on the side next to the soda fountain as well.
I also ordered an horchata to drink, and while it does not come with refills (in comparison to the fountain drinks that are located out in the dining area), it was served in a very large glass. In addition, when I asked for it without ice, they still filled up the cup all the way to the top! =)
I enjoyed my meal and while it was not a mind-blowing dining experience, Roberto's serves up solid food at affordable prices.
P.S. There are a few tables for dining in but the place is not that big if you have a large group or come during peak meal hours.
P.P.S. $0.50 surcharge for any credit/debit card payments.
