Bedford Welcomes Roberto’s Taco Shop
Roberto’s Taco Shop, a celebrated taqueria from Nevada, has officially opened its first North Texas location in Bedford, generating excitement among local food enthusiasts and long lines at its drive-through. Situated at 2902 Texas 121, the new establishment takes over the former Burger Street space adjacent to Harwood Road.
The well-known taco shop has earned recognition for its Southern California-style dishes, particularly its carne asada burritos and rolled tacos. Roberto’s Taco Shop has received accolades from various culinary personalities, including Food Network host Guy Fieri, which has likely contributed to its enthusiastic reception in the area.
Long Lines and Popularity
Since its opening, patrons have experienced wait times as lines began to wind around the drive-through during peak hours. The popularity of the new location is illustrated by the diverse crowd it attracts, with customers traveling from as far as Waco, Denton, Fort Worth, Austin, and College Station to try the offerings.
Menu Highlights
The menu at Roberto’s features a range of distinctly flavored items that emphasize freshness and California-style cooking. Notable offerings include massive carne asada burritos—comparable in size to a Tall Boy can—and crispy rolled tacos served with fresh guacamole. The shop does not focus on traditional Tex-Mex dishes and instead offers menu items like a “surf-and-turf” burrito, green chile fries, and shrimp quesadillas, along with breakfast plates such as migas. Breakfast burritos are also available, featuring a blend of steak-and-eggs, bacon, French fries, and cheese.
Expanded Presence in Texas
This Bedford location marks the fourth forays by Roberto’s into Texas, expanding upon its prior openings in Lubbock and Waco, which launched in March 2024. The chain, which began in 1964 in San Diego by immigrants from San Juan del Salado in San Luis Potosí, now boasts a total of 61 locations in Nevada. Several of these establishments operate all night in Las Vegas, catering to the late-night food crowd.
The popularity of the “-Berto’s” brand has even inspired similar establishments, such as “Alberto’s” and “Filiberto’s,” founded by family members of the original Roberto’s founders. Jose Robledo, the current owner and son of the original founders, is at the forefront of the brand’s expansion into the Texas market.
Commitment to Fresh Ingredients
At Roberto’s Taco Shop, the emphasis is on using fresh ingredients and authentic flavors that reflect its California roots. The restaurant explicitly does not serve conventional Tex-Mex items, avoiding offerings like fajitas and nacho cheese sauce, thereby distinguishing itself in a market saturated with traditional Tex-Mex restaurants.
Breakfast and lunch services commence daily at 8 a.m., with limited indoor seating available and additional outdoor seating expected to accommodate the influx of customers. The Bedford location is expected to rise in demand as locals and visitors alike seek a taste of this celebrated taco shop from Nevada.
