Always an excellent meal here. Roberto’s is the staple of Mexican food on the coast. Todays carne Asada burrito and rolled tacos were perfect. This is a very small walk in counter order shop that kicks food out fast! Lunch time is very busy.

Discovered this place in 2014, when on vacation. Got the carne asada burrito then and get it every time I come back. It is always chock full of deliciously seasoned beef. 10 years running same high quality food, same professional and awesome staff. My kids love this place too. Be aware that there is not a lot of seating for, all outside. Don’t let that stop you, grab the food and find a spot with a great view to enjoy your meal.

What's not to love! San Diego staple Mexican. Love grabbing a giant machacha or California burrito from time to time when Im in the area. The hot sauce is a must add. The machacha plate too! Bring the full belly

Roberto’s Mexican Food located at 1900 N Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas, CA 92024 is an excellent Mexican Food takeout spot. Great shells and fillings! Friendly service too. The local city council is making it impossible to do business however with their absurd “no outdoor seating” mandates coming forward. This local shop thrives on having a few seating spots available outside and the audacity to restrict that is really stupid from the City. Those who mandated that need to be replaced - vote their raggedy tails out of office if that is the case!!! They are replaceable - make it happen. Thousands will see this as I get over 300,000 daily views to my reviews, don’t let the city bully this great establishment. Do the right/just thing and make exceptions for places like this to exist! You have zero good/valid reason to restrict them - keep your jobs and don’t do that.

Roberto’s is a great place near the beach to grab a burrito. We had the breakfast burrito with sausage, egg and cheese. It was big enough to share. The salsa was great and the flour tortillas was awesome. This is a fast service place within walking distance from the beach.
