Fausto’s Mexican Grill

Food was ok. I didnt feel it was necessarily better than Robertos, its comparable. However I liked the atmosphere much better. Very good service, friendly staff, we hung out a bit after eating with our daughter and watched some soccer that was on tv and didn’t feel rushed out at all.

My co-​worker wanted to go have lunch together and when we couldn’t decide, of course we decided mexican because there is always so many choices when choosing mexican food. I asked her if she wanted to go to Roberto’s then. She said no lets go to Fausto’s instead. I told her I had never tried that place and she goes «What?! How could you have gone to Roberto’s but not Fausto’s» I told her that regardless the mexican food here in Vegas has nothing on the mexican food in the bay area (which is where I am from). So Fausto’s it was for lunch. I chose the carne asada tacos with onion and cilantro. Now, yes it was still nothing like what I am used to but it still was full with flavor. I also like the rice and beans on the side as well. I rate this place 4 stars because the salsa was just not hot enough. It was rich in flavor but just not spicy enough and I mixed the green and red salsa as I always do. But still missing that kick.

My quest for the perfect nachos has officially ended and Fausto’s is the winner! The super nachos are loaded with carne asada, refried beans, shredded cheese, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, onions and your choice of different salsas. Fausto’s Mexican Grill is a no frills restaurant located in a strip mall. There is a huge menu with pictures on the wall when you walk in. Each combo looks better than the next. Prices are great too. $ 7.50 for super nachos that are enough to share. Winner winner nacho dinner!

Really good dirty mex been goimg for years. Its not in the same class as Carlios Burritos but its very soild (Probably apples and oranges comparison though). Bottom line its way better than Robertos when your in the mood for some down and dirty mexican. Corezo Breakfast burrito is top notch especially with thier great red sauce.

Chile Relleno burrito was good all ingredients seemed fresh. Moving just a few days ago from San Diego, I wasn’t sure what the Mexican food would be like here in Henderson so I did my research and went in curious to see for myself. I ordered the chile relleno burrito and a tamale/​cheese enchilada plate just in case I didn’t like the burrito. Well, I ate the burrito which was good and tried the tamale and enchilada which were OK but probably will stick to the burrito for now.

The ONLY fausto’s location I will eat at in the Las Vegas valley. I’m rating it 4 stars mainly because the size of the burrito has gone down over the years, unfortunately. I visit this location on occasion and i have for over 10 years. Tonight was the very first time that I have ever tried their chicken quesadilla, and let me tell you… it was the best quesadilla I’ve ever had in my entire life. Ask for onions, peppers, and chicken in the quesadilla (there is no extra charge). The only downfall to the quesadilla is the fact that it is $ 6.50. To me, for a quesadilla, that’s a bit pricey. But I promise, it is so worth it. Did I mention that their fries are super good and only $ 2.50 for a heaping plate? :)

In Henderson the Mexican Grills are scarced. I tried the Carne Asada fries. They were okay. Guacamole looks like it’s from a bag. The salsa bar is limited. I won’t be mad.

Ordered the super nacho, two soft asada tacos and one soft chicken taco. Pretty good. But the food was room temp at best, and I have had better.

Reminded me of home back in so cal. This is a great hole in the wall type of Mexican joint. You can get full for less then $ 20 for two people. The red salsa is my favorite. It’s a great place to eat.

We love the breakfast burritos and tonight we came here for dinner. Omg huge!
You can’t go wrong at all and way better than Roberts. Sorry not sorry.

We have been eating at this Faustos on Stephanie St. for at least 4 times a month for 12 years. I don’t know what has changed but the food has been slowly declining for at least last six months. The last straw my sons cheese enchiladas on 9÷4÷15 was disgusting, he complained of the flavor so my husband and I tried them and they were absolutely rancid. We have been long time loyal customers and will not be back due to decline in your food.

My family and I have been going to Fausto’s for years and have never been let down. Quick service and good quality food. Everything we have tried has been great with very generous portions, the combo plates are enough for us to get two meals out of.

This place is great! I’m surprised to see so many negative reviews, though if you read them they’re pretty lame ie: someone said «I’m never coming back to this place because there was tomatoes in their carne asada burrito» what? That’s your criteria for 1 star?
Having lived in San Diego, I have high expectations and the only two restaurants in Las Vegas that lived up to this have been this place and El taqueria el buen pastor – the taco truck over by cashman’s field. The other places near here:
Alberto’s
Tacos de Tijuana
Taco y taco
Are overpriced too greasy and not that good.
What I like:
–location near our house
–nice workers
–open whenever we’re needing it!
–Decent salsa bar: they have a nice red and my favorite the green. They have cucumbers and pickled carrots.
1. The bean and cheese burrito for 2.5
2. The breakfast burrito with potatoes bacon and egg for 3.75.
We come here to watch soccer games and get our mex fix on.
Hasta mañana!

Usually I would give this place 5 stars but today I’m giving 1 star. Here is my reasoning, it only takes one time for someone to dislike your restaurant. You change one thing and you get one bad review and that one bad review can ruin your whole business .
I’m sorry but you guys changed one thing and I’ll never be back I don’t care how hungry I am .
I ordered a Carne asada burrito like I always do and today it had tomatoes I’ve never had a Carne asada burrito with tomatoes in it. This one ingredient ruined my whole expiernce and for that I have to part ways with you. Now if you tell your cook he messed up and to cook it the regular way then Maybe I’ll be back .

This is the second Fausto’s location we’ve been to and decided to grab a bite after checking out Castaways Resale Store a few doors down.
The menu is the same as other locations so I ordered one of my favorites, their Chile Relleno Burrito and we also tried a bowl of Menudo.
The burrito was pretty good, but their menudo is much greasier here than their other locations. A-​OK for me, but in no such hurry to return. ALOHA!!!

I was not impressed at, Taco Bell could do better and I only eat that every so often,

Love Faustos! I always get the Carne Asada fries. The burritos are pretty tasty as well.
So much better than Robertos.

Move over Robertos, there’s a new fast food authentic Mexican spot in the hood, and IT IS WAY BETTER! Don’t be fooled when you walk in and think, the same menu/​same food. WRONG! Just try the cheese enchilada plate, or California burrito. Shoot even the hot sauce is better.
If you are looking gourmet, keep driving. But if you are craving that quick, messy, maybe make your stomach hurt but worth it taco, STOP AT FAUSTOS!
I can eat tacos 24 – 7. You would swear I had some Hispanic in me somewhere. I like street tacos, white boy tacos, Indian fry bread tacos. It is something I eat on a weekly basis and if the family would allow it I would eat there more.
I use to be a huge fan of Robertos, but now, I am spoiled and it is hard for me to eat there, knowing there is a fresher, better tasting, and cheaper option.
Another plus for Faustos, I heard the first year they made it big, the owner bought every team member a truck. I believe it is true because whenever I go to the location by me, the same guy with the same truck is always there!
Good service. Good Prices. Great food. EAT HERE NOW.

I had their CA burrito combo for lunch on a Thursday
— A CA burrito without fries? Big time FAIL. Disappointing.
— Red sauce was good.
— I think this is ’nuff said. Take it off the menu if you can’t make it right. lol.
— Don’t come here for Americanized Mexican food. Great for people that never had SD Mexican food.
— Their hard shredded beef tacos were tasty.

For me, this is the closest of four Fausto’s Mexican Grill locations. It’s in a plaza near Henry’s American Grill, which is my favorite late night spot. Fausto’s has relatively saner hours, so even though I’d had it bookmarked for a really long time, I only managed to show up tonight.
The photo menu of combination plates reminded me strongly of Roberto’s for some reason. I didn’t get any of those items. Instead, I ordered two different burritos ($ 4.95 for each of these), and four different sorts of tacos ($ 2.30 for each of these) as a takeout order for dinner. I got to try some of each.
Off the bat, I had a minor disappointment when I realized that the California burrito did not contain french fries. That’s right, they don’t have an authentic Americanized Mexican food item. However, they did have Mexican rice and sour cream to go with the beef, and I ended up enjoying it. As for the carne asada burrito had guacamole and carne asada aplenty, and it was pretty good, but I probably will stop ordering it if given a choice since I usually don’t get it anyway.
I might give the tacos a try again in the future since the tortillas (one tortilla per taco) were kinda cold by the time that I got to them, but I did enjoy the fillings for what they were. Carne asada (yeah, again) was alright. Machaca was this fantastic mix of shredded beef and egg that I will probably order next time I’m there. Carnitas was essentially diced pork and tasted of pork. Al pastor seemed odd at first since it was more spicy and less sweet (no pineapple even) than what I’ve tried elsewhere, but I did end up enjoying it. All of the tacos had guacamole included, which justifies the price as long as you’re into guacamole tacos.
For those curious about it, the salsa bar (located around the corner from the register) has two salsas, one red and another more brownish. I don’t think either of them are spicy. There’s also cucumbers, lime wedges, and the carrot /​veggie mixture that I usually don’t get.
I intend to try the tortas and the carne asada fries in the future. I’ll probably be back since it’s authentic Mexican and it’s a shorter drive for me than other places are.
P. S. You gotta be careful when you do takeout. If you drive too quickly, things might shift inside the containers, kinda like luggage in the overhead compartment. Lopsided tacos are not a pretty sight.
