Restaurantji's Carson City Mexican restaurant picks are here.
“As a carson resident for over 30 years, this place makes the best snacks known to me in this city. Well worth the cost. I hate seeing one person ruin a place that deserves 5 stars from everyone, the owner works very hard for what is the final product for us and the customer service sets the bar for what is proper for a business. Go here often.“
“Ok ... total hole in the wall but thanks to yelpstars who brought me here. Basic taqueria no frills but DELICIOUS BIRRIA tacos. Ever since I had these for the first time in Las Vegas about two years ago I've been on the hunt for the best ones in our area and these ones were wow!! chefs kiss. Amazing. I don't eat the onions on them mine are just that soaked meat and tons of cheesy cheese. Ladies working were super nice. Grab a seat and enjoy. I would drive to Carson just for these.“
“Juan's is always a great place for food and friendly service. Juan, his wife. and his "family" of staff are always friendly, helpful, fun, and care about community. Being born and raised in Carson it's a great feeling to see this making a comeback in Carson ❤️❤️“
“3 for dinner. Place was busy. They quickly took our order. Food was ready promptly. The guacamole, chips and salsa were good. The chile rellenos were very good as were the tacos. Enjoyed the Mexican Coca-Cola. We did not like the plastic forks, knives, and spoons. Ambiance is very average.“
“Happened to be driving past when i saw the taco banner, and I had to stop. This is going to be my new favorite Mexican restaurant. This hidden gem actually seasons their meat with more than just salt, lol. Thank you guys for the amazing food and atmosphere.“
“Party of 6 and most enjoyed their meals very much. Unfortunately, mine was marginal...the Taco salad had canitas that were very overcooked with some exceptional good pieces, the flour tortilla was not crisp, but soggy from the grease. They did not refill chips or drinks. Been better In the past.“
“Took my father to eat here, everything was really good. I jad the wet burrito, which was HUGE. But you could tell all of the ingredients had been seasoned, it tasted so good, I ate more than I should have. But I will be coming back again for sure. Service was excellent. The waitress was really nice. Fortunately, we went when it was not busy at all, so it was peaceful.“
“Holy cow, was this good! I ordered a chili Colorado burrito. I don't know much about Colorado, but if I have to judge you by the meatiness of your chili, you people are cool in my book. Got this mountain (pics with hand for size reference) of a tasty, meaty burrito with prompt, friendly service and a good price. Came hungry, left happy with a big load of leftovers. Will have to come again.“
“El Charro Avita is the Best Authentic Mexican restaurant in Carson City off of Hwy 395 N.Food is wonderful, atmosphere is comfortable. Wait staff are always friendly & pleasant. Pamela,Lerena, waitresses.My mother and I eat once a week and weekends .Best Food for the money.“
“Had a fantastic experience at Francisco's Mexican Grill in Carson City. The fajitas I ordered were absolutely delicious, and my fiancée's tacos were a hit as well. My parents thoroughly enjoyed their chimichangas. This place is our go-to for both quick service and outstanding Mexican flavors. We can't recommend it enough!“
“Very delicious food and at a correct price, handmade tortillas which gives a very rich flavor to everything, if you are in a hurry and not much money but delicious food there it is!Parking: It is not abundant but it is available next to the restaurant without problem“
“Been coming here since H.S., moved away and hadn't been back for years... but nothing has changed! Food, service, and atmosphere all still a 6 star rating!Took my family here last week and "Salsas" is now their favorite too.Sooooooo goooood! Muuuuuuy Bueeeeno!“
“I've yet to have a bad meal at this place. The prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, everything seems to be made fresh. The place is a bit old and dated, but kept clean.I think that some of the negative reviews are written by people with very unrealistic expectations. I saw one complaining about no free chips and dip. This is a counter service restaurant and people are complaining about not getting things that are customary at full service restaurants. Go in knowing that this is a no frills, good food at a good price, restaurant, and you won't be disappointed.“
“La Capital Cafe and Grill went above and beyond my lunch expectations. The atmosphere exuded warmth, and the menu showcased a splendid array of options. The attentive service, coupled with beautifully presented dishes, made each bite a flavorful journey. The chef's meticulous attention to detail shone through, elevating the overall dining experience.This establishment has seamlessly blended top-notch ingredients with expert preparation, earning it a well-deserved spot among my favored dining spots. I eagerly anticipate a return visit to delve further into their diverse offerings. For a gratifying and enjoyable lunch, I wholeheartedly endorse La Capital Cafe and Grill.“
“Never been there before were told it was a good Mexican restaurant. We were there a Tuesday night it was busy. We sat at the bar. The bar tender was busy but took care of us quickly. Ordered the pork verde and wife had tamales. The food was amazing all of it. The value was great. You must give it a go if you like Mexican food.“
“Fast service, everything is hot. Good portions of food. Went twice so far this week.Parking: Right in front of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking is right in front of the restaurant. There is handicap parking. They have both tables & booths.“
“Pleasantly shocked and surprised. Carne asada meal was excellent. Chips and salsa we're good too. Service could have been a little bit better. Staff was extremely friendly, but didn't really make much of an effort to check up on me. Dining room was clean and bright. All in all a very good experience. I definitely recommend this place.“
“Okay so the atmosphere is not all that great, even though I gave it five stars because the food quality & flavor is so out of this world -good! ? I order the shrimp fajitas with extra tortillas. I had some refried beans and some avocados from home and I can eat on this for five or six meals. Once I still had some leftover and it made breakfast shrimp fajita tacos with scrambled eggs and bacon, for me and my grandson for meal stretch number seven and eight at 2 tacos each??.??“

“Pulled in the parking lot and looked as if they were closed. But, they were open and two friends and I went in for dinner. Very friendly, very attentive staff. Good was very good, although I thought the prices were a little high. We were the only people in the place, which felt a little odd. I will go “
“Tried two of each chicken and pork red salsa tamales.Meat in both tamales was well seasoned and tasty with plenty of sauce inside as well. The masa was also well seasoned and flavorful in both. Moisture was perfect with my preferred masa consistency. Served with a side of green salsa that was delicious.Transplant from the Arizona Mexican border I've been in the Reno/Carson area for over 7 years.I've tried street vendor tamales, fundraising tamales, tamales from local restaurants, my all-time disappointment, FB marketplace $30 a dozen tamales. The Lady Tamales By far, the best tamales in this area I've tasted with the best per dozen prices.Parking: There is plenty of parking with a large lot and easy street access for an rv.“
