Fausto’s Mexican Grill

So this morning, I was craving a breakfast burrito. Not the kind that you get for 99 cents in a drive through. A real man’s breakfast burrito packed with enough meat and potatoes and eggs to help me survive for three days without eating anything else. Fausto’s is one of the best breakfast burritos in town.
For some reason, Roberto’s has never made a breakfast burrito worth my time. Their potatoes and onions are consistently undercooked. Sometimes, the cheese might be melted. But Faustos knows how to cook up a decent burrito every time.
So… You know that moment when you walk in the door ready for the glory of your favorite plate on the menu. You have butterflies of excitement and you can almost taste the marriage of bacon and potatoes and cheese and salsa verde dripping from an enormous tortilla shell. And then… Everything is derailed by a hunch to get something new. In this case… Chilaquiles.
I had a chilaquiles in San Francisco at the farmers market at Embarcadeiro that was insanely delicious. Crispy and fresh Tortilla chips, spicy green chili salsa, and a liberal toss of Cotija. Fausto’s delivered a soggy wreck of limp chips smothered with a run of the mill green sauce. Doused with sour cream. I’m a little tired of Mexican restaurants obliging the American pallet with sour cream. It’s alright but with a heavy hand, it can ruin a dish. This chilaquiles was not very good.
So as I sit here lamenting my choice, I am hearing the sounds of intelligent people roll in and order breakfast burros one after another. And their Friday is going to be great. So far, my day feels pretty ordinary. But next time I will use my brain and get what I came here for and leave a happy happy man.
Since this place is seeming a one trick pony to me, I’m rating Fausto’s 3 stars. With Los Tacos, Taco y Taco and Tacos el Gordo, I don’t need to worry about finding a good lunch spot for Mexican. But I’ll keep Fausto’s in the Rolodex for the occasional breakfast burrito. But chilaquiles… Never more.

Great carne asada plate. Loved the rice and the spicy hot sauce you can get on the side. Reasonably priced and tasty!

We have been here a few times. I am a fan for the non-​chain type of places and this place is not a disappointment.
All of the food is authentic, fresh and very good. Even the kids chicken nuggets are good. I wouldn’t say they are as good as Taco’s El Gordo but they are still very good and I would go out of my way to eat here.

My partner and I have been coming here for two years now. Their food is always delicious, we are big fans of their fausto breakfast burritos and tacos. I’ve never had an issue with their food or customer service.
Their customer service is always great, I train guest service standards on the strip that correlate with that of Forbes and Triple A and faustos is on point.
Thank you for the great service and food!

Very good burritos. California and Nevada my favorites. Good price and fast service. Would come back for sure.

I usually love Fausto’s but my last experience was horrible. I called in to order around 11 pm one night. I know that they close at midnight but there was still plenty of time before they closed. When I got through, the person taking my order had major attitude and seemed pissed that I even dared to call their store. I still gave my order anyways. Once I got to the store they had already put away all the limes and sauces for the night! It was only around 11:15. The cashier was even more pissed in person that I was going to pick up my food. Even my boyfriend noticed his horrible attitude. We were so afraid that they may have done something to our food since both of their attitudes were so bad. Luckily our food was still good when we got home. I hope my next experience is better.

Rice was ok. For a late Saturday afternoon beans were dry and tasted old in my burrito. Chicken was good but salty and burrito in a whole tasted dry and not that great. I’m from northern CA and have fought all over Mexico and never had something like this. Won’t be going back.

Average, not the best but a good fast food mexican joint of which there is no shortage in this town.

Good stuff, a real non-​chain Mexican food joint. The chile relleno was one of the best ever & the al pastor tacos too — genuine shepherd-​style carne. Quick in & out place; decent prices, clean, small but nice salsa bar. My single wish: true aguas fresca (they have the instant mix stuff, meh), but they do carry a good selection of Mexican sodas, including apple & the strange but delicious no-​alcohol carbonated sangria.
Great place, I’ll definitely be back.

The best Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas !!! I love the shrimp cocktail, the carne asada burrito, carne asada sopes, enchiladas, camarones ala diabla, the three different salsas, and the fresh cucumbers to munch on while you wait for your food. It’s very clean and the staff are very friendly. I never have to wait a long time for my food. Everything is freshly cooked and very tasty :) if your looking for some real Mexican food, go here! Trust me you won’t be disappointed. I’ve been to a few different places and they charge like crazy but here they have good reasonable prices. There is a lot of parking space so you won’t have to be driving around looking for a parking space.

Place is great but staff can sum times be impatient

So we just got back from a week long vacation from the East Coast and we’re jonesing for some Mexican food but we’re too lazy to go to a real restaurant so I mention Fausto’s, we hadn’t been here in forever. After perusing Unilocal photos I settle on the Chicken Chimichanga and we were gonna share a Carne Asada Nacho. Doug just got a Carne Asada burrito.
Holy hell the nacho size was enormous, we hardly put a dent in them, but they were good. The star was the Chicken Chimi, so good! Believe the reviews. The chicken was moist, kind of wet with a tomatoey juice, with lots of cheese, peppers, tomatoes and onions inside of a perfectly fried tortilla that was not greasy. I will totally get it again and urged my husband to as well.
The food is super cheap for the amount you get. Service is fast and friendly.
Why have we been apart so long? I won’t let that happen again.

My office orders breakfast burritos here ALL THE TIME! They are enough for breakfast AND lunch. Fresh. Hot. Filling. Doesn’t get better than that.

Ate here on a Tuesday night. The food is here is delicious and well cooked. I ordered the lengua combination and ordered flour tortilla with it which was out of this world. It only took them less than 15 minutes to prepare my dish. I also ordered a large horchata. It tasted almost perfect. This is a small joint, but they offer great food and service! I will be coming back here again whenever I crave Mexican food. Oh yeah, I left the place very satisfied.

We stopped by here yesterday after passing it a few times during our travels up and down Rainbow Blvd. Actually, we were craving Chili Verde Express, but forgot that they aren’t open on Sundays.
This place is okay. It is probably very much on par with Don Tortaco, but a little pricier for some reason.
We each ordered our favorites.
— breakfast burrito, just cheese, potatoes, and eggs
— carne asada nachos
The portion sizes were healthy, as expected. However, the scrambled eggs in the breakfast burrito were a bit runny. It was also pretty greasy. I know this may sound like a rediculous complaint given the nature of what I’m talking about, but CVE manages to do it without all the grease. This definitely took away from the overall taste, in my opinion.
The carne asada nachos was also pretty freakin’ massive! The meat was cooked well and tasty.
All that said, it still wasn’t as good as Chili Verde, which is now the measuring stick for these type of places, as far as I’m concerned.
It wasn’t bad. It was okay. But at the prices they charge, I can grab Don Tortaco for about the same quality and less money. If I had my choice though, I would just stick with Chili Verde Express as the best of the bunch!
Probably a one and done for me… but its alright…
3 stars.

Opinion still stands. I came back late night. The daily deal was tostada for only $ 2.25. Not bad for the price at all so I got 2.

Came in on a Sunday night at 10 p.m. and it was empty, yay! We ordered our food to go, it was ready in 10 minutes and the cashier was friendly. In my opinion, Fausto’s is a step up from Roberto’s, the quality of food is better and won’t give you gas! Haha. They have a salsa bar with green and red salsa, pickled jalapenos/​carrots/​onions, cucumbers, lemons, etc.
I went with the rolled chicken taquitos special that comes with beans/​rice and a drink. My husband went with the chicken chimichanga, he wanted shredded beef but we were informed that they pre-​make their beef with onions in it, so ordering without the onions was not possible, oh wells, the majority of Mexican establishments do that so we were not surprised. We ended up paying around $ 14 for both our meals so it’s pretty cheap to eat here, they do charge $ 0.35 if you want to use a debit card, so if you’re cheap and want to save a few cents, bring cash.
Everything was great, beans are rice were surprisingly good! My chicken taquitos were a bit on the soggy side, but that’s because we drove back home to eat, they were topped with guacamole and shredded cheese. Both the chicken and the guacamole had a good flavor. My husband was satisfied with his meal, he’s normally a picky eater. We’d visit again if we get late night Mexican food cravings.

Good food, will definitely try again!
I got a fish taco, a shrimp taco, and medium drink.
I loved the shrimp taco! It helped that I caught a glimpse of the cook placing gray fresh shrimp on the grill lol
I was not big on the fish taco, mostly because I don’t like fried fish.
The little condiment bar was nice but some of the radishes did not look fresh.

Must say that the entrees are extremely cheap and generous portions. Expect to pay $ 6 to $ 7. They have a bar available to pick out your sauces and peppers, it’s a nice touch.
I ordered the chicken burrito complete meal which includes beans and rice. It was ok but the biggest minus is that they didn’t flavor the chicken meat which is unbelievable! No wonder they need the sauce bar to give some flavor.

For a chain of «fast food» American-​Mexican food, it’s delicious! Cheap prices, convenient location, and quick service. I appreciate the salsa bar offering red and green salsas, pickled jalapeños, carrots, and onions, cucumbers, and radishes. The salsas could be better, but I like the flavor of the red salsa adds a nice spice to the food. Service isn’t necessarily friendly, but for a two-​minute interaction, I don’t really care. You order your food at the cashier, you pay, you pick up your food, then you eat. That’s it.
This location has only a picture menu with no prices (except the breakfast options). A lot of their items are drenched in (not-​so-​melted) shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and/​or guacamole, so you’ve been warned. I simply order my meal without one or all of these toppings and I’m satisfied.
I’ve only been here a handful of times, but the experience has been consistent. I normally order Carne Asada Fries or Nachos and/​or Carne Asada Tacos. I don’t normally deviate from these items, but I have had the Breakfast Burrito and Tamales. Everything has been tasty.
During my visit yesterday, I wanted to see how their Pastor stood up to street vendors, so I ordered two Al Pastor Tacos ($ 2.30/each) topped with pico de gallo and guacamole. Not too shabby! I was surprised that the pork was so tender and flavorful. Certainly a good alternative to street tacos! Ruben ordered the Chicken Quesadilla Combination Plate ($ 6.35) that was packed with three very large slices of quesadilla, refried beans, and Mexican rice. The chicken was moist and juicy and there was so much of it! They’re not holding back. We also shared Carne Asada Fries ($ 6.95), always delicious, although they never season their fries, so it just needs a bit of salt. A small drink with unlimited refills is just $ 1.50 (no lemon-​lime soda option) and all prices include sales tax.
