Los 4 Vientos — Restaurant in Reno

My husband and I stopped into Los 4 Vientos for a delicious authentic Mexican dinner last night. We’ve ordered takeout here many times but decided to make a date out of it this time before having a drink at The Alibi next door and walked about Reno Public Market.

I ordered quesabirria tacos with a side of rice and beans. They were cooked to crispy perfection with plenty of meat and oozy cheese. My husband ordered the chicken enchiladas rojas with the freshest and tastiest sauce! (I couldn’t help but steal a few bites.) The chips and wide variety of salsas are free.

Above and beyond was the service. The man who took our owner (I’m assuming the owner) was a genuinely kind man. It was apparent when a little boy came in and scurried up to the counter just to say “hello,” and he would pause working and say, “Hiiii, papito!” with a huge smile. Even the littlest customers know and love him. The woman who served our food was so attentive and friendly as well (we handed her an extra tip).

If you want authentic and super flavorful Mexican food, give this...

Los 4 Vientos is one of the hidden gems of, Reno. Sporting a large dining area and an impressive menu, it is the perfect place to hang out and have multiple servings with a large group of friends after a hard days work.

The staff are bilingual, which is really great. They always have a smile.

The food is prepared very quickly and presented well. You can do take out or eat there, and they wrap it in tinfoil to keep it warm on the way home if you take it to go. It's little details like that that really make a place for me.

I love the food, and their salsa is well made, especially the hand made guacamole salsa. They also have pickled onion which is excellent on just about any dish. They have Cabeza and Lengua which can be tough to find here in Reno, and they cook it very well. Their Carnitas is the best in town bar none.

So if you would like to have some delicious Latino cuisine with some friends, I think this is the...

Just went there a couple of days ago and the food was great... The only thing I did notice when we sat at the table right next to the salsa bar (we had a clear view of the register and the back kitchen). Nobody was wearing gloves, The back cooks were cooking without gloves the entire time, coming from the back to the kitchen. An older lady was handling food and going to the front counter multiple times. The cashier was picking up trays, taking food to tables and cleaning tables without washing her hands after. Until about 5 minutes before we left I got up to ask for a box. The older lady in the back cooking finally put on gloves, unfortunately she was leaning on the front counter top talking to the cashier.

Great food? Place needs more cleaning...
