Bwahahahaha seems like I'm the rare soul who ventures here sober at 3am. Nuff said, there should be one on every street corner. If Baja Fresh is Bill Cosby, Roberto's is Samuel L. Muthafuckin' Jackson.

I'm not quite sure which location I went to, so I'll just review this one..
I don't know what it is about this place, but their food.. I don't even know how to explain it.. it's so GOOD.
Especially open 24 hours, going in at 2 in the morning, never tasted better for a midnight snack.
Definately the best of the best.  I wish there was one in the bay area. :-(

After a fun, drunken night in Vegas for my friend's going-away party, we hit up this place upon recommendation of my friend who had lived in Vegas for the past 10+ years.  I ordered some taquitos, tacos, and a burrito (probably not wise to eat all of this while drunk), but after I was done, I actually felt better!  The food tasted great, and did what I needed it to do (absorb the alcohol), and I was satisfied.  

The food at this place reminded me of the great Alberto's chain in Cali, but dare I say it was much better... maybe because I was drunk, or maybe because it was so late at night -- whatever!  Drunk or not, I know I'll remember to hit this place up again while in Vegas after partying!

You probably can't really go wrong at any location of Roberto's...Personally I LOVE their quesadillas.  They are open 24 hours, and they are conveniently located everywhere.  I have had several things on the menu, and I have never been disappointed.  Best of all, it's CHEAP!

I love this place! I eat there at night, for lunch, when i'm too lazy to cook, when i have a group of friends who don't have much money to spend on food, and for any occassion that someone in my group is craving mexican food!  Roberto's is the best at night when you're drunk or really tired of course but then, what food isn't better when you're drunk? lol I am addicted to their chicken chimichanga combination plate with an horchata.  Their rolled tacos are good too. Btw, what the other review said about horchata being good after drinking or for a hang-over is true.  It's soothing for your stomache.

I like Roberto's better than any nice mexican restaurant I've been to... maybe with the exception of a few in mexico. lol

I can't imagine that there's a person who has been in Vegas and been in some sort of nightlife scene and not ended a night with a big heap of Roberto's.  I mean, it's like peanut butter and jelly - they just go hand in hand.

And let me tell you, on a late weekend night there are few things better than some Roberto's.  The rolled tacos with guacamole are good for a cheap snack, a quesadilla can feed an entire family, and their combination plates will sate even the most drunken hunger.  The most famous however, and probably least consumed, are the Chupacabra fries.  Well, that's what we call them at least since they will suck your soul.  It's a plate of fries covered in cheese, salsa, peppers - you know, all the type of stuff that goes on TOP of your usual Mexican fare.

The odd thing about Roberto's is that when you have it during daylight hours, it loses some of it's magic and you sometimes wonder how you can eat all that stuff at 3 AM.  But 3 AM will roll around again, do not fear, and the magic will return.

This is the best Roberto's in Vegas.  I have tried many and I think the one by campus is the most generous with cheese, guacamole, sour cream, etc.  It's a lil hole-in-the-wall but it's open 24 hours and has great, cheap food... relatively fast.  Can't beat that!  

When I lived in Vegas, I used to go here at least once a week.  Sometimes more!

Try the Horchata too. It's a Mexican rice drink (with a lil cinammon).  It's yummy and good for the stomach if you've been drinking!
