" I went to Roberto's expecting quick food, and it was slower than I anticipated. The food was great but it’s tough to enjoy when you have to wait so long. Getting a simple burrito seemed to take forever. I recommend taking it to go if you don't want to sit around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I had the carne asada tacos, and they were packed with flavor! The staff was super friendly and offered great recommendations. The only drawback was that the line moved a bit slow. For the food quality, I’m willing to wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love this spot, but my last visit wasn't great. I ordered a California burrito and was very disappointed. The fries were soggy and the meat was overcooked. On top of that, the service felt a little rushed, and I ended up waiting about 30 minutes for my meal. I might give them another chance, but I hope they can get back to their previous quality soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The prices are reasonable, but I wouldn’t exactly call the service 'fast'. I waited longer than expected for my food. Nevertheless, the burrito I had was filled with so much flavor and was larger than I anticipated. I’d like to return but will plan ahead for a wait next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit was pretty average. The food was good, but nothing wowed me. The carne asada burrito was tasty, but I've had better. The service was decent but not overly friendly. It's a spot that I might go back to if I'm in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had their fish tacos and I can’t say I’m impressed. They were doused in sauce to mask the dryness. The service was okay but not memorable. I expected much more given the good reviews. I might try a different dish next time if I decide to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a spot to revisit! I enjoyed some of the best carne asada fries I’ve ever tasted. They were crispy and well-seasoned, paired wonderfully with fresh salsa. The atmosphere was relaxed and perfect for enjoying food with friends. The drive-thru service was fast and friendly, even during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)
