Robertitos Taco Shop — Restaurant in Fresno

I recently stopped by Robertitos Taco Shop hoping for a quick and tasty dinner, but what I got was a letdown that left a bad taste in my mouth, both literally and figuratively. The order seemed simple enough - one veggie burrito, four chicken tacos, and a horchata. But when the bill came to nearly $35, I was taken aback. I understand that prices are rising everywhere, but this felt like a bit much, even with inflation in mind.

The real disappointment, however, hit me when I got home. Instead of the street tortilla tacos I was craving, I found hard shell tacos in my bag. When I called the shop hoping for some understanding or a solution, the response was far from friendly. I was bluntly told it was too late to do anything about it. The tacos themselves were a soggy mess, drenched in cheese and thrown together in a way that almost made me sick. The veggie burrito was okay, filling but lacking flavor. Thankfully, the horchata was a saving grace, deliciously sweet and refreshing. But overall, my experience at Robertitos Taco Shop was far from satisfying, making me think I'd have been better off with street...

The food used to be pretty fresh all the time. Now it just seems to be, well, mediocre at best. I had the Chile Colorado plate. It's like it was sitting in the pot all day (probably was). I went around 5:00pm. It was flavorful, but clearly not fresh. I apologize for not having a picture to post.

Another example of the lack of quality, from my perspective, is say a chorizo breakfast burrito. I like them to add rice about a buck, a little beans another dollar more. They reduce the amount of eggs and chorizo, charge way more for the base cost of the burrito. You might see some bits of chorizo. They went from being somewhere we would frequent often, to somewhere we go because it's the only place around to qet a quick bite to eat that isn't a burger.

They're charging much more. About 2 years ago they began what has been a consistent price hike, that just keeps going and going and going, up that is.

This has been my experiences. I always encourage you to go and make and post your...

My mom and I stopped here for lunch after church, hoping to get some yummy tacos in a cool environment. Not so. This place either had no ac or really bad ac. It was hot and uncomfortable. The tacos were overcooked, the meat was crispy and dry like it had been reheated multiple times. Carnitas and grilled chicken. I also ordered a ground beef taco I didn't know came in a hard shell. $4.29 for each of these disappointing tacos. The service was not very helpful, I asked the cashier what type of chicken meat was in their tacos, white or dark meat, she said she didn't know. I asked her if she could ask someone else, she said I'm pretty sure it's white meat. I was disappointed she didn't want to ask her coworkers who were right there...and she told me the Agua Fresca I ordered wasn't sweet and it was very sweet. We won't be going back here, so...
