“ Today my girlfriend treated me to lunch at Robertos taco shop on highland. We ordered Carne Asada fries, which were really delicious, nice and crispy. They came with sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. We also ordered a Bean and cheese Burrito. Which was also very delicious, beans were a little bit salty but they were good, the cooks put enough cheese to top it off and the tortilla made it even better. We tasted the red salsa which it gave it flavored. The cashier was kind enough and provided us 2 cups of ice for our waters that we brought to drink. Thank you the cashier and the cooks for providing great customer service and made really delicious food. Keep up the great work. God bless! Thank you. ”

“ Clean. Yummy food. No receipt given. Lacking client service one lady was rude, threw me the change on the counter and asked for the next before I was able to collect the money and move away. We whished the other lady had taken our order. Sorry the one we got was having a bad Sunday morning, but its not our fault. ”
“ I got a California burrito and it was big and tasty. The staff were working on Christmas and there were quite a few people in the restaurant. Im in town for the holidays and I needed my Mexican food fixing since NYC doesnt really have a lot of good places. So glad I came here. It hit the spot!!! ”
