Albertaco’s

Best Mexican Tacos In Colorado Springs!!! I’m very picky with the quality of Mexican food being from the Chicago Metropolitan area where we have some of the best Mexican restaurants in the Nation. So when I heard about this place I was skeptical at first but they definitely impressed me with the quality of Mexican food!

Sooooooo, I know hole in the wall’s and that drive thru isn’t like Wendy’s… But DAYUUUMMMMM! I swear I was in the drive thru 20 – 25 min! I tried going in but was stuck in the drive thru… So that was a FAIL! I only tried the rolled tacos with cheese & guacamole and they looked really good, just didn’t taste that way. The rolled tacos were good, but the guacamole was pasty like! No real flavor and just didn’t taste right. I’m from Sunny San Diego so my «authentic Mexican food» standards are extremely high, yet I dropped them down coming to the springs… Considering they are called «Albertacos» I assumed they would taste somewhat like «ALBERTOS» in So Cal! But I was wrong… Very wrong! :(
The red sauce was good tho! And Considering I just tried the rolled tacos I will go try again for the carne asada burrito or fries! Hopefully it’s better.

Best mexican in the springs. Top 3 items: chicken nachos with guac and sour cream, breakfast burrito and 3 rolled tacos with guac and sour cream. Gotta ask for guac and sour cream if u want it. This place has been open since I moved here in 1997 and there is a reason they are still there. Food is fantastic. They don’t have all the awards all over the walls because they don’t pay to participate in that crap like some others do cough cough Monicas tacos.

I’m a sucker for Mexican food. These burritos are authentic & so freaking delicious. Their breakfast burritos are so incredible, & their beef is perfect in the carne asada burrito. Also, try their carne asada fries. They’re delicious.

It’s Halloween and we stopped by the trunk or treat at the discovery church and decided we would stop by and get some food from this place to end our night. Well, first off the young lady working there got our order wrong and when we told her she rolled her eyes and made it seem like WE were the ones that had messed up and was so sure that thats what we had ordered, she was extremely rude to say the least. We ended up returning all of the food and promised to never go back there again because, frankly, I don’t care how good the food may be (we didn’t even get a chance to try it) but poor customer service and rudeness is enough to never want to go back there again. So a word of advice, if you get the young lady with the chest tattoos be prepared to get some teenage attitude your way.

First time I came here, I was convinced that this was the best mexican food in town. Everything was perfect. Second time, everything was a sloppy tasteless mess.
I’ll give em another shot sometime to make a final decision. If that second time had been my first, I’d probably never be back. Maybe it was an off day.

This establishment is one of the few places in Colorado Springs that is open 24 hours a day. Last night the employees were overly-​generous and gave me an extra ingredient: human hair. I was completely disgusted. Never coming here again.

Great food. Minus one star for bugs. The floor was teeming with them. Not just one or two. Multitudes. There was an infestation of some kind. I looked out of the corner of my eye when turning my head sideways to chow down on a chorizo burrito and caught a glimmer of a bug nonchalantly crawling on the floor in search of freedom, food, or his wife and kids. I thought about it for a moment and thought, «This burrito is so good, I just don’t care.» But then when I took a second, third, and fourth bite, new bugs caught my field of view each time. To my dismay, a thorough panoramic view of the floor revealed a disquieting scene of a bug village. It was as though all bugs in the surrounding community had come out to sell their wares at the market, and the whole floor was bustling with activity. There was an entire ecosystem established on the cold tile floor of this beloved Colorado Springs treasure.
You know how some people can’t look down when they’re afraid of heights? Imagine that but with bugs and being afraid you’ll bite into one. If the food wasn’t so darn good, this would have been a real deal breaker. I hope they can fix the bug issue. They’ll be back to 5 stars then. Ground up bugs in the food or not, it was still delicious. I don’t expect much from a ²⁴⁄₇ taco place, but I do expect a maximum of 5 bugs seen on the floor during my dining experience. Maybe shut down for 12 of the 24 hours, get this bug thing taken care of, and go back to serving delicious affordable Mexican food the other 8,748 hours of the year?

Came in on a Friday for lunch because I believe this is the same as in OC, CA and it’s the bomb out in OC and real Mexican food is really hard to find out here. Got rolled tacos, beef taco and carne asada taco with diet coke. OMG best friggin Mexican food in the Springs, the real deal. Get a shredded beef taco and rolled tacos, you won’t regret it!

This little hole-​in-​the-​wall restaurant has amazing food. The customer service is not great which is why I gave 4 stars (especially through drive-​thru). The carne asada fries are to die for!!! They have the best guacamole and green salsa I’ve ever ate!!!
The prices are good and the food is great. Give them a try!

Everyone who lives in Springs knows that there aren’t a ton of 24 hour food options so Albertacos is GREAT! I always get the breakfast burrito, pretty much everyone else I know, gets the carne asada burrito and they’re both awesome. Everything is made fresh, good size portions and are pretty cheap. Drive through has some long lines at night after bars close so you may wait a while, but its worth it.

So greasy. So nasty. I am a fan. I am not sure of people who eat this in the daylight hours. However, for late night post-​bar cravings this place is awesome. No one who comes here expects a 5 star dining experience. I ordered inside once and it was ratchet in the most awesome way possible. However, to avoid the ratchet I only do drive though. I’ve seen people peeing in the parking lot, dirty things happening in parked cars in the lot and fights breaking out. This is CS at its most awesome — and I still come back time and time again. The things I go through for that California Burrito…

Bomb. Best mexi food outside of California. You want good cheap fast food mexican food, go here. Always a fan and who can complain about a place open ²⁴⁄₇?! And make sure to get the Cali burrito.

The california burritos are the best here. Tried it once with my husbands fam while we were visiting colorado springs. And we traveled one hour from home to come again to this place because we loved the california burrito so much. Its one of those hole in the wall kind of places. I havent tried anything else besides the burrito but the other food looked just as good. Will be coming back again soon hopefully maybe I will try something new on their menu.

So first of all, I love that this place is open 24 hours. There’s little to know choices for food at 1:30 am d:
It looks very rinky dink and sad from the outside but that’s okay.
Don’t expect exceptional service. They’re very short and concise and don’t seem very happy. Not a huge deal but it would certainly help if they seemed like they wanted to be serving me.
I got a chicken and cheese quesadilla… And let me tell you, it’s AMAZING. Oh. My. God. It’s phenomenal. You get three huge quesadilla triangles loaded up with cheese and chicken. It comes with pico de gallo and guacamole and I absolutely love it.
I also got chips and guacamole. The chips were average and not very crisp/​crunchy. I’m not a fan of the shredded cheese on top. The guac was good, with good size chunks of tomato in it. But it was a little on the salty side.
Overall, I would most definitely recommend it to anyone and will be returning some time soon!

Cheap greasy mexican food in a dingy restaurant, the chimichanga I ordered was fine but was not impressed.

So I’m kind of sad to give them three stars because I’ve been here multiple times and loved it until my recent visit. It could be less than three stars but I don’t want to be too cruel.
Anywho… anybody who lives in Colorado Springs has ran into this annoying flying ants, right? Last time I was here their entire dining room was being mauled by those ants. Considering they were EVERYWHERE I do have to worry about the cleanliness of the food. The other times I have been in, it was never like this. Hopefully this situation gets taken care of soon so I can go back and have a breakfast burrito because they are awesome.

Open 24 Hours and never disappoints! Just a carne asada burrito with guacamole and pico de gallo does the trick! The breakfast burritos, enchiladas, and the California burrito are good as well. Prices are incredible for the amount you get. I usually only eat half and save the half for later. I have never had a problem with the waiting time or the cleanliness! Good prices, great food.

I love this place. It’s not the cleanest place in the world, but I think the food is great. It’s only $ 4 (a few cents off) for two enchiladas (no rice/​beans). Drive through in the middle of the night can take some time, but this place brings me back to hole in the wall places in California. I definitely recommend it.

The size of the burritos are exceptional. The Colorado burrito is my fav. It’s sooooooo good. The sauce they give is good too and compliments the food well. I like that it’s open ²⁴⁄₇ but that also makes me a little skeptical. I’ve only been through the drive thru but I hear the inside is dirty. Customer service could really improve. It’s hard to hear and make out what they say when ordering through the drive-​thru. I go back for the food but would probably go back more often if it was a complete pleasant experience.
