For the past three decades, Roberto’s Taco Shop has been a mainstay on the Valley’s food scene. Practically every Las Vegan who has lived here during that time has a Roberto’s story or a tip, from late-night runs to hangover cures.
Founded in San Diego in 1964 by Roberto and Dolores Robledo, Roberto’s expanded to Las Vegas in 1990, opening its first local location at the University District at 1220 E. Harmon Ave. That spot is now scheduled to close on January 31 before moving south a few blocks to its new home at 4700 S. Maryland Parkway.
There are now 57 Roberto’s Taco Shop locations in Southern and Northern Nevada. The chain remains family-owned and employs roughly 600 Nevadans.
