Taqueria Mendoza

We just ordered food for our family who is in the hospital. We didn’t get the full order. I called to let them know and they said they think we put in the bag ! They hung up on me.
That’s really not ok and not cool. I don’t recommend ordering here.

This place is awesome! I door dash here daily

We have been going to the food truck in South Meadows. We had to try the restaurant. Amazing food. Will be a returning customer.

I've order to go three times. The food is OK.
They messed up my order on two separate times. You get what you get. In other words the service is what ruined it for me. I called in on one occasion and they forgot about me being on the phone. I don't recommend this place. And I most likely won't order again.

We've been here previously and the food portions have been inconsistent. Today, I ordered a torta with NO onions. I bit it a couple times and got a huge onion to my surprise. Im not allergic or anything, just not a fan. Took it back and never have I ever had someone take back the sandwich, remove the onions, and bring back the same one. Lol

Typically, we enjoy Mendozas. Great food, good service, fair prices but I got an order the other day and added a side of rice and beans. You either have the option to pay $4 for 3oz or $13 for 32oz which doesn't give a lot of options. The cup of rice was extremely small. It costs $2 for a bag of rice so to hike a tiny tiny side for both each $4 each is insane! They also charge for limes and salsa which doesn't happen elsewhere. Even though, it may be good sometimes it might not be worth it all the time.

Mendoza's came to our complex. Was my 1st time trying them.
I must say, WOW. The tacos are amazing. The meat, Asad, and Chicken was very good. They give you a nice large amount. The corn tortillas are also fantastic. I will definitely get more.
The guy taking the orders is very friendly.
I highly recommend.
Thank you, guys!

I can’t score the atmosphere since it’s a to go order from the Smiths Parking lot. This review is specifically for the food truck at the S. Meadows location, not the restaurant. In my opinion and my family’s, the prices here are extremely high for food that simply does not match the cost. This was my first time ordering takeout from this truck, and I was immediately disappointed. The tortillas were the cheap, standard kind you can buy at any local market. The rice was mushy, lumpy, and of very low quality. The beans were nothing special—just basic refried beans with no standout flavor. As for the meat, it was bland and unimpressive.
To be honest, I can’t justify the $15.00 price tag for what is essentially a large, inexpensive flour tortilla filled with mediocre rice, beans, and meat. The presentation was basic, just a standard burrito wrap with some salsa on the side nothing that justifies such a high price. Compared to other places that offer much better quality for the same or even lower prices, this food truck falls far short.
Super Burrito, Taco Bell, El Pollo Loco, and other similar places offer far better quality and a more appealing burrito filling presentation compared to this food truck. We don’t recommend this food truck. Customer Service is fair though at least they were nice individuals when taking your order.

After 3 days of posting this review I just encountered a Reno Gazzete Journal article about

dining establishments in the Reno area were written up in the last week of February, including four that were temporarily closed.

Northern Nevada Public Health, formerly known as the Washoe County Health Department, issues four types of inspection ratings:

Look you guys …. This is very accurate, it’s public and you can look it up for yourselves…

This is what I mean about this types of places and you can just imagine what the taco truck is hiding behind d our backs.

MENDOZA’S FOOD TRUCK

5425 Sun Valley Blvd.

Handwashing sink blocked with microwave. Employees were washing hands in three-compartment sink. Microwave was moved at time of inspection to allow hand sink access.
Cooked beef on stove at 90F. Operator stated it finished cooking 20 min ago. Beef moved to refrigerator.

I am impressed with the taste of this food ..so delicious 😋

Best Tacos in Northern Nevada

I always love going to this place to get my tacos this time I ordered tacos to go and I got one empty taco. This is the second place that I ordered tacos and they give me one empty taco. I would understand if they gave me all my tacos and just gave me an extra empty one maybe to put my meat in but I ordered 5 tacos, but I got 4 with meat and one without meat

Fully stuffed veggie burrito ever eaten before. Great service. We had a take out once and though it’s little far from midtown, we went again for dine in. Nice and clean place. Highly recommended for if you are looking for very authentic Mexican food!
