Alberto’s

The most horrible place, felt harass because of my company job talking crap about my job I make 4 time more then what they make left the food on the table and told the guy lunch on me you poor bastard

Low quality for low budget. You pay for what you get. Its up to you. =) There’s so many choices in the area for delicious Mexican food. Just use Unilocal.If you do use and still eat low quality it’s on you. Don’t ever low ball yourself. Lol

Check your food before driving away! I ordered nachos and half the ingredients were missing and the cheese not melted. Not even a little.

I love these places. I’m spent many years in San Diego and had many a meal at these places (the ‘Berto brothers — Roberto’s, Alberto’s, Hilberto’s, Aliberto’s, etc.). Ever since I moved back to Guam I crave their food. Visiting Anaheim for a conference recently allowed me an opportunity to indulge. And this place didn’t disappoint. First night there I had the carne aside burrito. Second night there I had the two beef taco combo. I miss it already.

Too much gristle and meat was overlooked and tough. And their burritos weren’t wrapped properly that the juices spilled all over my shirt. No bueno!!!

It was a late Friday evening… the typical setting of my greasy mexican food adventures.
I walked in and stared at the menu for a few minutes.
«How much would it be to get a chile relleno burrito but add carne asada in it?»
Did Christmas come early? They added the carne asada in for NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE! Maybe the worker was just feeling extra generous that day (or maybe it was cuz it was late at night and they needed to get rid of their carne asada stash… ill give em the benefit of the doubt), but I aint complaining~!
I cradled the burrito like a baby all the way home. Its warm tortilla skin against mine. It could be I was just ridiculously hungry, but that burrito…**DROOLS** was SO. FREAKIN. DELICIOUS. Truth be told, the carne asada when eaten by itself is very bland and looks like boiled meat. My friend got their carne asada taco plate and was disappointed (tacos looked pretty big, btw).
But im telling you, CHILE RELLENO + CARNE ASADA = PERFECT COUPLE!
Couldn’t resist taking a bite without topping it with their red and green salsas too. YUMZ.
I promise I was sober throughout this whole process… it wasn’t drunchies/​munchies, it was pure deliciousness in a tortilla.
It’s probably really easy to find a better place since the quality here is meh, but give it a try. :)
OVERALL: 4 stars for their surprisingly great cooperation/​customer service.

Food is good, not great. Prefect when u want Mexican food and don’t feel like Taco Bell.

no no no no no… this place is horrible. The food is DISGUSTING! i came here thinking this place would be better than the albertos on harbor and macarthur, wrong! the fish in the «fish tacos» were cold and soggy the tortilla ripped upon folding my taco. literally the ONLY thing good about the tacos i ate was maybe the lettuce…
*warning* DO NOT EAT HERE

Well, I didn’t end up getting my food. I do like this place but late night service is horrible. Ordered, drove to the window and waited about 10 minutes and drove off. No one was even at the window to take my money. All I saw was a mop and bucket sitting there where someone should’ve greeted me and taken my money. Do they not want business? All I heard through the open window was two guys chatting away about — who cares. I guess they get paid to talk late at night and they also take breaks after people just order there food. Know wonder they started offering day specials, they’re losing business. I wonder why. Hey Alberto, you should start giving your mop and bucket a pay check, I’m sure they do more work than who ever runs this place at night.

They’re good; a typical Alberto’s. I’ve only gone through their drive thru, so can’t comment on the inside.
I prefer Chronic Taco, but no one beats Alberto’s convenience (open ²⁴⁄₇).

We walked in and thought this place was under investigation for health violations. We decided to take our chances since we were hungry and we have had another Alberto’s before with no issues. We were wrong. Asked for a ham, egg and cheese breakfast burrito and they were «out of ham». Ok, no problem. We got bacon instead as well as a cheese quesadilla. Drinks — We asked for Mr Pibb? Nope, out of that too. We looked over and saw the soda fountain had TV remotes on it, so we thought that was odd. We asked for waters and the cashier (although very nice) pulls two cups out of a fridge. In that fridge was a 2 liter of coca cola. I feel bad for anyone ordering coca cola today or in the near future as it won’t be from a soda fountain, rather a 2 liter (hopefully not flat). Upon receiving our food, I noticed something odd in my quesadilla. Opened it up and found a small piece of blue plastic which looks like it was a piece of a bag. That was it. Went to the bathroom to wash my hands and couldn’t last longer than 30 seconds in there. Had to hold the button for the air dryer because it wouldn’t stay on. Avoid this place at all costs if somehow it stays open any longer.

Oh Alberto’s, Alberto’s, Alberto’s…
What happened to the good, fast Mexican food you used to serve?
Stopped here for a late lunch today and ordered a 2 tamale combo.
They offer shredded beef and chicken so got one of each. (I haven’t eaten all day, I was hungry!)
The gal at the front grabbed a couple of tamales out of the tub in the fridge and into the microwave they went. How do I know this you ask? Only the left side of one tamale was warm.
I am hungry, I don’t care! I cut into the first tamale, chicken looks good, nom-​nom. Ate about half and decided to sample the beef. Cut into it only to find what looked like a different kind of chicken.
WTF?
Took it up to the girl at the counter. «It looks like you gave me 2 chicken tamales». She said no, the first one I was eating is beef. I cut it open down the middle, took out some meat and asked if it looked like beef to her. She wouldn’t answer. Instead, she made a phone call to someone. After talking for a minute or so, she informed me it was not beef… It was pork!
So, even though it’s not on the menu, it appears that Alberto’s serves pork Tamales!
I really should go easy on them. I just now remembered that Alberto’s only tastes really good after a long night of drinking: p

I came to this place cuz I was very hungry and I thought that It would be nice having some asada tacos. I bought 4 of them. When I was about to finish the second one I stared to feel sick on my stomach. Long story short. I got sick with fever and vomit for two days. My boyfriend came back to this place a month later and he got very sick as well.

Classic Alberto’s!
Late night outings which would end up at Alberto’s in Chula VIsta, Pacific Beach or SD was about as common for any teenage boy and girl who grew up in daygo! Much to my surprise would I find one after moving to Orange County several years ago. I had no idea that Alberto’s has grown to nearly 50 locations. Nevertheless, I’m happy with knowing there’s one not to far.
I”ve been to this location multiple times, this Alberto’s in Garden Grove in particular is one of the dingiest ones. It’s kinda small, the parking lot is way bigger. There’s hardly any seating inside, besides upgrades to their furnishings. It’s settled in a off location, but when i think back all of them were located in these types of areas as far as I remember!
Negating the location and the size of the establishment, the food is always enjoyable. Its those late night cravings that still hit the spot. On a night out, when a few of my buddies from the Army were in town, we hit up this location, smiles on everyone’s face, as this was no first encounter with Alberto’s Mexican restaurant. It was late night, about 2am, it was good to still be able to find a place open so late. We each got a carne asada burrito or a california burrito, no complaints from any of the crew. I’ve always been a fan of their red salsa, its always been one of my favorites of all time, I still recall 10 – 15 years later that its one of the better salsas I’ve ever had. I think the only knock I would give is that my burrito had a bit too much onion in it, that’s about it.
After all these years, albertos still sits high on a throne of mouth watering wonder.

This place deserves negative stars. It has a drive-​thru but the speaker doesn’t work. So you have to know exactly what you want from root memory. Then the freaking cashier confuse the heck out of me. I asked for a la carte and she said it comes with 2 enchiladas with cheese, rice and beans. Then she listed choice if meats meats and I said I wanted the «mix» which was a choice on the board. But she insisted I picked a meat choice. Then she said the total is $ 9-​something and I asked her how is that possible when it’s $ 5-​something. She gave my total as $ 8.09 and I asked her how does $ 5-​something comes out to be $ 8.09 and she said I wanted cheese and I told her because she said it came with cheese. Then she told me to pay an extra dollar for rice and beans. I told her I never wanted rice and bean. So guess what I got??? Freaking order with rice and beans. She also asked if I wanted salsa and I said yes and none is in the bag.
Now for the taste. The abogada enchilada tasted bland and the mean was hard and tough. The chicken was a bit more flavorful. Whatever cheese I paid for was not inside the enchiladas but sprinkled on top. Rip off!!! The red sauce is not worth noting except that it’s probably one of the worst and now I really want the salsa to salvage my taste bites with some acidity.

Ordering carne asada fries at a Mexican spot is always a no-​brainer for the indecisive person I am. I wanted the comforts of juicy carne asada and crunchy fries, covered in loads of sour cream and guac, with heaps of melted cheese on top and tasty salsa. But no… I got the exact opposite of that when I took my first bite of carne asada fries from this place. The meat was dry and soo bland– No seasoning whatsoever! The fries were soggy, and both the green and red salsa was watery and tasteless. My boyfriend and I came in super hungry and excited for our meal, but we couldn’t even finish the fries between the two of us because it was so unappetizing and flavorless. The portion size for the price was pathetic also. What a waste of nearly $ 10!
When it comes to food… One bad experience at a place is enough to make me never want to come back again. Sorry bout it Alberto’s. Taking my business elsewhere.

Worst Alberto’s I’ve ever been to. Paid $ 17 for basically the worlds shittiest Mexican food. Soggy ass fries. And paid $ 7 for a below-​quality California burrito that only had cheese + sour cream +meat + soggy ass fries. Ugh annoyed

Who in the right mind would give their customers ALL burnt meat!!! Or any burnt meat all. WTF. The last time I was here they forget to add my guac and extra pico de gallo I paid for and now this bullshit?! DO NOT EAT HERE.

The food is here is gross! I live nearby and have come here twice. I try not to write unhappy reviews unless I’ve been to a place more than once. I’ve ordered the carne asada burrito here and a breakfast burrito. Both times the «meat» was overcooked and not tasty. Dry, flavorless meat is not what I’m looking for in my burritos! Service is kinda slow and the people are not that friendly. I’m never coming back and you should not even try it. Both times, I did not even get halfway done with my food, it was just so unappetizing. There are lots of other Mexican food places nearby, skip this one.

More negative than positive reviews here. A bit unfortunate considering that our visit tonight has swayed me to give it a high 4 **** stars.
I’ve been here a ton of times. What happened to their salsa bar? Not that it really matters, it’s best to get your salsa from the cashiers anyway, unattended salsa bars leave room for debris to visibly fall into the salsas.
The cashier had a cordiality about him and our food came out in less than five minutes. Their cook fired out our order quicker than I expected. Everything was hot, steaming and doggone mouthwatering!
1 carnitas nachos w/​no beans (hella hella good!), fresh shredded carnitas covered in a blanket of sour cream, guacamole and shredded cheese… if you have never treated yourself to this and you dig carnitas, well, you sure as sheet should!
1 beef taco (I took away their 5^th star because there was not enough shredded beef)
3 rolled tacos with guacamole, crispy and good enough
*I gave them a bonus 4^th star too because they weren’t that busy, only their drive thru was and they were playing the movie Troy on a flat screen while we ate. Yes, I give stars for films that play as I grub*
