This is one of the most interesting Roberto’s I’ve visited as they have a small half bar inside. Cute little tables and chairs give it a homey atmosphere. Unfortunately the guy taking the order didn’t understand my mother and only put in mine and my daughter’s rolled tacos not hers. I was disappointed that the tacos only come with cheese and guacamole not lettuce. They charge you more for lettuce than buying an actual full head of lettuce! Everything was extra extra extra. Might as well go to a sit down restaurant and be served at a table. Food was ok, attitude affected my taste buds though. My mother choose just to eat at home instead of waiting again. Classic case of an older person being ignored.

I ordered two orders of carne asada fries, one with double meat and nothing else. I even confirmed twice with the man taking my order. The other one was light cheese and nothing else. I drove 30 minutes home only to find my fries with everything. I’m allergic to avocado which is why I did not order it. I had to throw them away. Money down the drain. The other fries were very good.

My wife is a HUGE Roberto’s fan so we stopped by Roberto’s Taco Shop in Santee right as they opened, and we were greeted warmly by the manager. Always a great sign when the staff makes you feel welcome from the start! Since we were the first customers of the day, our food came out quickly and fresh.
The restaurant was spotless—the floors were clean, and the restroom was well-maintained, which is something I always appreciate. It’s clear they take pride in keeping the place in top shape.
As for the food? Exactly what you hope for from a solid taco shop—flavorful, fresh, and made just right. Whether you’re craving tacos, burritos, or something else off their menu, you won’t be disappointed.
If you’re in Santee and looking for a great spot to grab some Mexican food with friendly service and a clean atmosphere, Roberto’s is definitely worth a visit!

We tried the Burrito, and I had the Fish Soft Taco, which I loved. However, the beef bowl with avocado, beans, rice, peppers, and tomatoes in this shop, it felt like too much going on flavor-wise. On the bright side, we enjoyed the delicious pineapple juice. The server is nice and I asked to get another Juice and he said pay after when we are done, he told me next time. Thank you for the treat! Overall, it was a good experience at Roberto’s Taco Shop in Santee.
… moreHi Hello
I actually genuinely really love this spot. The food has a genuine flavor. We moved to lakeside two years ago from an area in San Diego that has delicious Mexican food at just about every corner, so finding a place that has good service and good flavors over this side of town that was similar to what we were used to was a task, until we found this spot. So why the lower star rate? – the portion to cost ratio doesn’t match. I’m specifically referring to the carne asada chips. The first time we ordered them, it was a to-go box FULL of chips and maybe about a handful of carne (literally). I was understanding then, perhaps the cook was new. Ordered them a second time, it was the same. Third time, THE SAME! what the heck, at $15 an order… this can’t be real!? I hope this feedback is considered by the owners and begins to offer fuller portions of meat and other ingredients on the chips. Besides that, this place has good flavors. Appreciate you guys :).

Placed an order for 8 shrimp burritos for my husband and I have to say I wasn’t expecting tacos. The burritos had maybe 4-6 shrimp and seemed like a childs menu item. I will not be purchasing again.

This is without a doubt the worst taco shop I have been to in San Diego. Both burritos we ordered were gross, the soup was ok, and the carne asada fries were decent. I will never be going back. I would recommend to go to literally any other taco shop.

This used to be my go-to Taco shop, but the past three times I have been there. The meat has tasted funny. I always get carne asada.. and they never charge me consistently the same price. It’s always different

Charged me for soft battered tacos that I never received. Issue me a refund like you said you would and I’ll change my review.

We ordered the $1.99 fish tacos on a Thursday and NO LIMIT! They were ready when we arrived and so delicious. We’re definitely going back.
