Still confused about their pricing but definitely a fan of their food. I enjoyed a huge carne asada chips and a bag of hot carrots. Dined in since I had the time. Watched a bit of soccer that was being shown on their TV. Service was good. I noticed most people just took food to go. The place was clean but didn't have the AC on, who j made it a bit uncomfortable lol. read more

I got charged more than what was on the receipt, not notice if i was gonna be charged any fees or anything for running my card. It had happened before, a few weeks ago and just thought it was an honest mistake, so i let it go. But are they doing this to everyone? Not to mention, the food doesn't taste as good as it used to. read more

I love their burritos and rolled tacos from here. They're so quick and the food is tasty, especially for those late night runs for Mexican food cravings! I like their red salsa and they come in packets. Some love them and some not so much. I don't mind it because I just pour it all over my food, yum! read more

Best Breakfast Burrito In North County I've eaten so much of their green sauce my blood type SALSA VERDE. This Albertacos's ain't with the formalities. Order your food and be gone. Their food HITS. Straight belt to *SS. If you order here you won't be disappointed. A hidden gem of SM. For the best combo get the breakfast burrito + carne asada fries with green sauce on da side.

This place is actually my go to everytime it is in the Home Depot parking lot in San Marcos and is open 24/7!!!!!!! That's actually goated for Mexican food! Service is actually very quick but if you are in a rush you can order ahead of time for pickup and they will have your back. The place isn't crazy busy but it always has people coming in and out and does not let you down! It has saved my life plenty of times when I'm done with some important things and after 2 am the whole world shuts down they will always be there open! read more

Very impressed. Had never been to this location before. All my girlfriend heard from me as I was eating was ooh, oh, ooh, oh wow ... everything was so good ! Simple things - quesadilla, beef taco, chips w/ cheese and guacamole, and the hot sauce ! Unfortunately no salsa bar, but their red and green sauces are excellent, served in sealed plastic pouches, which is strange, but drinkable. LOL ! Can't wait to go back and try the usual suspects like carne asada and carnitas. read more

My job ordered food from here and I tried the carne asada torta and it was not good at all. Aside from it being tiny, there was little to no guac that tasted super old and the whole torta tasted super super salty. I took 3 bites and threw it away. Ill make sure to tell them to not order from here again read more

Usually come here early for tamales. They do sell out quickly so try to get in quick or you'll have to wait a good bit. Not a bad spot with decent prices. Convenient spot next to the 78 exit read more

If I could leave a zero star I would I called in an order asked for no pico forgot to ask for no Guaq completely on me. But I called back like 4 minutes later asked if I could also get no quad then he responded with we going to have to charge you for both burritos and was very rude about it. read more

Great family owned taco/Mexican food spot in San Marcos, the prices are far better here than other places not to mention the food is delicious and portions are huge. BIG THANK YOU to Adamary, she was so warm and welcoming, answered all my questions about the menu and even gave really great suggestions. We really appreciate the high level customer service and top notch hospitality. California burrito was bomb and the lengua is delicious. 10/10 read more

Carne asada tacos. So good! They are so big! Had I known, I would have only bought one because they are super generous with meat and guac. Mexican food in SD just hits different. Love this place. Good service, clean and prompt. read more

I don't understand the draw here. Was recommended to me by more than a few people but the food is just OK. The cheese isn't even melted! Just cold shredded cheese everywhere! The asada was OK but didn't have a ton of flavor. Good enough in a pinch and at least it's not expensive. read more

California burrito is one of the best. Rolled tacos are great They salsa packets aren't the best design. They should do a salsa bar to get your own salsa read more

I was hesitant to try this place but was blown away by the quality and taste of the breakfast burritos here. I got one with bacon and one with ham, and both were excellent. Fresh tasting, soft tortilla, ingredients mixed well inside the burrito, and the kid's meal was cute, too! The salsa was provided in little bags, and I had never seen that before. My only complaint is I wish one of the salsa options were spicer. From now on, this will be my go-to in the area. read more

Albertaco's Mexican Food - Chicken 3 Rolled Tacos with Guacamole and Cheese, Beans - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, California

If I'm comparing apples to apples, then this place is much like the rest. Appropriate timing of needing a breakfast burrito and Albertacos happened to be 'on our way'. Honestly I didn't get to compare my usual breakfast burrito with my last encounter or any others because I had to share with my wife. The ok sized breakfast burrito didn't have any beans as I normally order; however, given the remaining ingredients of egg, bacon, potatoes and cheese, this was a delicious one-handed drive-n-go option to get us started this morning. My pursuit continues to remain mostly unchanged. There are just too many Mexican take-outs in Southern California to have one dominate brand. Open up a stand "anywhere" and it will survive, even next door to another stand. Or as I have seen it before, in the same strip mall as another. Keep the tacos coming! Dicks read more

Albertaco's Mexican Food - The sign inside. - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, California

Terrible! Worse ever! TV is volume is blasting so it's hard to order against the excessive noise thru the plexiglass . A 3.99 % add on for credit card . Food was terrible . No Sauce bar --- all you get are commercial packets (see pic) that taste store bought stale terrible . Beans were equally terrible . We were in a hurry so we didn't read reviews for our first visit here --- and we paid the price . $25 for 2 burritos and side of beans -- going into the trash . How do they stay in business? Must be because it's close to the freeway. Although , Friendly service though thru the background noise. read more

I'm so sad &' disappointed I been eyeing this restaurant for a couple of night now. I'm new to the area just moved out here. I get out of work at 1am so there's not much open. &' I picked tonight at 1:17am when there was no cars in the driveway thru. I ordered a California burrito with NO pico repeated myself 2 times &' the man said yes no pico &' I drive all the way home to find pico in my burrito I'm so sad it ruined my night &' now I have noting to eat. You would think since there's no one there they would make the one order they have right. read more

Ordered $100 worth of food over the phone 30 min before I arrived so i didnt have to wait. As soon as I got there the cashier told me the cook didn't want to cook it because it was too much food and they were afraid I wasn't going to show up..... so now they have me hear waiting..... I wish they would have told me over the phone they weren't going to make it so I could have bought my food somewhere else. This is really frustrating because I have a really busy schedule read more

Bomb breakfast burrito! Huge and delicious. I would definitely return. Paid $9 and change for it and would gladly do it again. Awesome!

Sucks ! Just NO...Yuck. Do not even walk in the door Television on Max volume and place smells bad, food is also awful. read more

The most disappointing $14 I've ever spent. They got my order wrong the enchilada was not heated so the cheese was unmelted on the inside and they put barely any sauce on it. read more

Great late night bite! The carnitas burrito is huge and chock full of carnitas, guacamole, and pico de gallo. I highly recommend adding sour cream to the burrito to give it some extra tang and texture. The rolled tacos are beautifully crunchy. Both the red and green salsas are delicious! The store was very clean, but service was slow (15 minute wait at 10pm on a Friday). The prices are on the high side ($10 for a burrito w/ sour cream) for a taco shop. read more

Albertaco's Mexican Food - Cold Cali. The cheese is still shredded and not even melted. 3rd time this has happened. Don't eat here. - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, California

The food is worth the price you pay. Don't like being charged an extra "non-cash charge" to use my credit card.

I just cant! And this is why! Dark colored greese from both their locations I been both have nasty oil. Oil has not been cleaned and it's happened more than once and now we go to senior ponchos which the greese is always clean. Try it out. Here's pics to follow of the nasty colored greese it makes u feel gross to even eat it. NO MORE! I have pics to prove but this review wouldn't allow me to add a pic. read more

Albertaco's Mexican Food - I ordered a carne asada BURRITO But got FRIES! - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, California

When you buy a new house, you get to know your local Home Depot pretty well in the following months. And when you're buying paint and shelving and supplies every week for random projects, there's plenty of opportunities to eat at nearby restaurants. Usually that means McDonalds or Carl's Jr., Slaters if we're feeling frisky. But on one solemn occasion, we felt like having burritos. Albertacos is pretty average. In a world where greasy Mexican eateries are on every corner, it takes a lot to make them rise above the rest. Fresh salsa, a good guacamole, meat that's well salted and grilled, and tasty beans and rice; this should be the standard. Albertacos kind of comes close to this, but definitely doesn't go any further. With the standard menu selection, nothing really stands out or makes you want to come back here instead of getting food elsewhere from someplace closer by. It doesn't mean it's not worthwhile. Carne asada here will do in a pinch. And the rolled tacos are on point. But, when you're out and about, and you see a Cotixan or Alerbertos, the food here at Albertacos won't sway you from grabbing something elsewhere. read more

First time trying this place, and definitely the last. Chips with cheese and guacamole, no guacamole, stale chips , cold unmelted cheese. Complete fail. Carne asada nacho's, better, also no guacamole. Grilled jalapeño peppers, not even charred, still crunchy. Not 1 thing ordered was complete or made correctly. One weird thing, I wouldn't swear to it, but the beans were cold and strange color like they came right from a can. Definitely a Big No for me. read more

Just order 4 California Burritos and on one of them I got an avocado sticker, what sucks this was one of the burritos that was supposed to be for my daughter. Albertacos we love your food but please cAn you be more careful when preparing your food. Not mad at you guys but put yourself in my position read more

Albertaco's Mexican Food - California Burrito with add on avocado sticker - Mexican Near Me - San Marcos, California

I ordered carne asada burrito. Flavors were lacking. Meet was chewy, chopped tomatoes were not fresh (they had a bad flavor of a spoiled tomatoes). A spit of a green liquid in the middle of the burrito did not look and did not taste like guacamole at all. I won't recommend eating there. Unfortunately there was nothing else on that plaza except McDonald. I should've eaten at Makedonalds instead. I am adding one extra star because I did not get food poisoning. read more

I've been coming here since I was in high school (2010) AND it never lets me down. The meat is SOOO juice and the size's are big!! And it's the only place that has chicken rolled tacos in San Marcos.

Was visiting from L.A and stumbled across this spot. According to my wife it was "the best burrito" she has ever eaten. We ordered carne asada burritos and they were absolutely delicious. From the sauce to the meat to the tortilla, everything was bomb! Love how this place aint stingy with meat! If we ever visit this area again we are definitely stopping by to eat here. read more

Shitty service and mediocre food. Tried them for the first time today. Ordered 5 chicken rolled tacos and realized they were beef when I bit into one. I called to ask what they could do and the guy pretty much said that I could drive all the way back and place another order for tacos. Then he told me the person who placed the order didn't order it right. It's says ON THE RECEIPT that chicken tacos were ordered. I asked for a refund. He said no. I let him know I'm doing a charge back because I can't eat my food. He said go ahead. So yeah... Customer service is stellar here. Thanks Gabriel for the shitty call. read more
