Restaurantji's guide to Sparks' top Mexican dining experiences. Enjoy the city's top Chips and Salsa, Carne Asada Burrito, Chile Relleno, and other dishes.
“I love the fact that they have fresh meat. I enjoy their burritos that they serve. It's like a restaurant, carniecera, checking cashing one stop shop. I get my money orders here as well. Although I don't think they should charge you an extra $1 fir using your debit card; the moreover is already $1.75 which is the median price compared to Walmart, 7/11 and places similar.“
“This foood from a truck was so so until he showed me something new those flat taco things are legit we loved them and that damn salsa red was bomb kinda smokie al in all it was a lil high priced but got a free taco hands Down would eat again dude us “
“Have been coming here for years!! It’s a smaller more intimate setting which allows for more personalized and quicker service. Always received great service and even better food. You can expect to spend $10-$20/person without bar drinks. My top favorites are the house margaritas, their rice and the carne asada plate. But also really like the Macho Diablo burrito, ceviche, and the fish tacos ?.Side note: This is a local family owned restaurant. Definitely hard working (you’ll always see Danny working there!) and it’s noticeable that he cares about the quality and consistency in the food they serve.“
“Pancho and Willie's is a staple in my go to foodie restaurants. Everything here is top notch. From the food, to the services, and then the atmosphere... I love it all! It all comes together so perfectly well for a dining experienceI look forward to eating here every time we go. Victor is my favorite! He is always happy and helpful. Best Mexican food in town!“
“I've been told over time that it's a great friendly neighborhood tavern. I found myself nearby after a movie at Galaxy Victorian. Took the short walk to Chica's. Like three minutes. Later i asked and Crystal was working the bar and tending to cleaning and chatting. This is a very neighborly tavern. The bartop was cleaner than many high end restaurants. Every voice I heard was happy conversation between patrons. In moments I was in the chatter. I'm gonna try a famous Chica taco and a hot dog (seriously why not?). So will post this now before getting more sidetracked by fun!“
“The chilaquiles were delicious. The sauce had the right amount of spice and very flavorful. The loaded fries were good. The menudo was good but it has hominy and they were hard. Place is HUGE and clean. Has 2 huge tvs. Prices are affordable.“
“This was our first time visiting this particular restaurant. I loved the structure of the building that is shaped like a ship taking after its restaurant name“El Barco” the ambiance and music is definitely nice. As soon as you walk in you are greeted immediately, that is the first thing they do. The food is prepared to the finest detail. When you sit down it feels like you are right next to the sea tasting what our fine ocean has to offer. We love the dishes and we love the service and atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back.“
“Hidden hot spot. Fat wet burritos. Chips salsa and the works on beans and rice. The rooftop pool and margarita bar are the best in town.Parking: Find a spot and park.Kid-friendliness: Kids must be secured to adults. Any children left behind are made to work in the kitchen.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel yourself in.“
“2 dollar tacos??????? Yes please. They are the small taqueria tacos but have no fear! They load it up with meat. They only have one menu outside of the store. Just order at the cash register and they will bring it out to you. They also have a small eating area in the market. When we went, they only had a few selections of meats... You know what that means! They sell out! We got to try the chorizo, asada, pastor, and tacos de Guadalajara. The Chorizo are chunky and are cooked to have a crisp on it. Every taco meat is well marinated and flavorful.They are apart of Los 4 Vientos (Los Cuatro Vientos)Come check them out!“
“This cozy restaurant hit just the spot.. yum! Their portions are generous and their breakfast burrito is huge lol :) I got a carne asada torta and quesadilla de carnitas my daughter got some taco's. All in all we all left full and satisfied ❤️?“
“The menudo here is bomb! I never thought I was going to get handmade tortillas but boy I got a surprise. This places is definitely a jewel in town if your looking for a good menudo, this place is definitely a must go, they are also way different than others this place will ask you if you’ll like pata or not. Not like in other places they just won’t even ask you nor add it. Definitely recommend them definitely will be coming to try other foods from their menu.Parking: They have parking in front of the store but they also have lots more in front of them.“
“This place is just phenomenal. When it briefly had to close due to a fire, my thoughts would often wander to their relleno. My heart would long for their carnitas. My soul cried out for the shredded beef enchilada. Now that Fiesta has returned, I am whole again.“
“The drive-in is very convenient. A little pricey compared to some other similar establishments but the quality makes it worth it. I like that they have daily specials. I also like the steak fries. They also have good salads as well. Everything I've tried here I enjoyed.“
“It seems as if everyone we know who goes here loves the food here. We decided to give it a try and were not disappointed. The service was a little slow, but we appreciate the people working. We went through the drive-through and will order ahead of time in the future. The food had a very generous portion for the money we paid and was fresh and more authentic than other fast food places. We will be back to try different items!“
“They care so much about the flavor that even the rice and beans are amazing. I have tried at least 50% of their menu and I have not had a single bad bite. I especially love the fact that they use grilled chunks of chicken breast that have a great flavor as opposed to most places that serve nasty shredded chicken that has been sitting in liquid all day. Try the presidente taco!“
“Tried tonight and was impressed. The food was delicious. We tried Al pastor tacos, Birria tacos, carne asada fries and carne asada burritos. The people were friendly, quick, and again…the food was delicious. I would not hesitate to go back. Thank you!“
“My warehouse is in the vicinity of this restaurant, so anytime I spend a significant amount of time at the warehouse I'll stop by Super burrito for a breakfast burrito with bacon. I have never had a bad time here. The hot salsa is to die for. I wish they would jar and sell it.“
“We really enjoy eating at Morenos. My husband absolutely loves their shrimp wet burrito. I love all their food and I am very picky. Our server Andrea is awesome. She is kind, friendly and very helpful. The service is amazing and the food delicious.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and they have a great selection for kids.“
“Pupusas are OMG! ?The customer service is always very friendly and if you dont want to wait they are always willing to take your order over the phone, the flavors and love on this restaurant is really remarkable, i am a weekly customer for sure would recommend“
“We are on a quest to try every Mexican restaurant in the Reno/Sparks area. Tonight we decided to visit La Fuentes on Baring in Sparks.Since we tend to dine early, we were the only patrons at that moment. Service was quick and friendly. All service personnel were helping each other so we wanted for nothing.The wife ordered a carnitas tostada plate. I ordered a bowl of albondigas and a vegetarian salad. The tostadas were on a four inch crispy tortilla with chopped bits of pork, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, tiny drops of crema and guacamole. The wife reports that the tostadas were okay, a bit below average.The albondigas soup was good. The vegetarian salad was not some much. However, my weird taste buds demanded that I combine the two dishes. With flour tortillas, the mashup turned into something that I enjoyed.The interior was the standard Mexican cultural display. The booths are uncomfortable due to the high seat height and short seat. Stick to the tables.We will probably try again if we are passing by but not a destination restaurant.“
“We decided to try out this restaurant, as we like to experience new place's and take advantage of what type's of food Reno has to offer. We went at lunch time, yet was seated and served in a timely manner. Our server was awesome and the food was great with one exception. There was far too much cheese on top of the entree's! We couldn't see where one item began or ended. It was very thick. We all had to wipe it away to see the food. As we mentioned , to other's that we had gone there, they expressed the same concern, otherwise, the food was delicious! Upon our return, we will be expressing the cheese issue to our server. ?“
“I love this place! Food is so good and the owners are so friendly. It is a very clean establishment. My only complaint is the cashier named Edith (name on my receipt). I have been several times and she always has an attitude, is hesitant to get my water cup, leaves things off my order, and truly makes me feel like I am a burden. The other day I stool waiting to order while she talked to a friend in the dining area for an uncomfortable amount of time. I asked for my food to be eaten there, and she confirmed it was “for here”. I don’t have anywhere else to eat my lunch, so i kindly asked tor a fork that was not included in my togo and the water cup I had previously ordered. She deliberately took her time getting it and looked at me with disgust. Today was the fourth time Ive had a negative experience with her. I spent many years working in the industry and I know first hand how hard it can be to work a service industry job full time. No matter how nice I am to her and patient, she looks at me like she wishes I would leave. I will not stop eating here, or tipping her 20%. I am hoping my persistent kindness will rub off on her.II am writing this by chance the owners see this, because she is not friendly, kind, happy or good at making sure orders are as they should. The food is still worth the lousy service.“
“The gentlemen working here were on high alert with my husband's allergy and immediately began wiping boards down. I wish I had a scale because I seriously believe my burrito weighed at least 5 pounds. The chips were thick and crunchy holding salsa well. Lovely, decor and clean.“
“First time in, had the tamale special with a chicken taco. The tamale was delicious, very flavorful, not dry at all. The chicken taco was to be a hard shell, it wasn't crisped long enough but the chicken meat inside was good. Chips and salsa were good, we favored the green salsa over the red. My husband had the carne asada burrito, carne, onions, cilantro and cheese. No extra fillers (although they will add them if you ask).Will definitely choose to come here again over other local Mexican restaurants.“
“***4.5 stars*** When my standard is my Mexican mom's cooking, then everything else is compared to that. With that being said, 4.5 is fair for this restaurant. Only about 15-20 people can sit down(see my pic) and BE PATIENT. Food is fresh and will take a little longer than usual. The cooks are beasts and work very efficiently together! I ordered a breakfast burrito with carne asada and I wasn't crazy about the red sauce. It was "tomatoey", but lacked seasoning. Beans were excellent and rice was pretty good. Chorizo quesadilla was excellent! Horchata was also very good. Prices were fair for the area, and I'd definitely go back!“
