FRAUD!!! FRAUD!!! FRAUD!!! NOT FRESH FOOD.This place was good with the previous owners. Now it appears as if they don't care about the quality of the food. I ordered taquitos and tacos at the drive-thru and from the order microphone to the drive- thru window took 30 seconds. The food was ready and sitting there. There's no way to make 6 taquitos and a taco in 30 seconds. I asked about it and they claimed they made them fresh (not true). The food was cold and soggy. Taquitos had been sitting there , maybe under a heat lamp or drawer and all they did was top it with guacamole and cheese. Lazy and deceitful. FRAUD!!! read more

I have been coming here for years even though there is an Alberto's closer to me because their meats were always fresh and lean - no fat. The food was always good tasting and well made. Until last week, I came and ordered a hard shell taco plate and there was too much grease in the bottom and the beans had a ton of melted cheese and were greasy. I forgave them and again placed an order for a chile verde burrito yesterday. I couldn't believe it. The meat seemed old and overcooked. But the worst of it was I found about six pieces of fat inside the burrito. I had to open it to eat it, even I was disgusted. The rice was dry and the beans left something to be desired. I don't know what happened to this place. They were my go-to place even though their prices have increased from around $3.50 to $13.50 for burritos. I always highly recommended them, but the quality of the food has taken an extreme down turn and whomever is managing this place is cutting corners, not trimming the meat, using fat for volume, not making the food fresh and doesn't care. The increased food costs that we are all experiencing is no excuse for disgusting food. They need to raise their costs if necessary and not serve disgusting food. The management needs to be replaced and they need to go back to the values they once followed if fresh, clean, lean good tasting food. I won't be coming back here despite my many years of patronage. read more

Sooo I've been coming tho this Alberto's since I was a teenager ( I'm 40 now) it's a bit sad to see the prices of their bean and cheese go up so much and then making their burritos with less cheese and beans every single time, before I used to squeeze the beans and cheese out of my burritos, now I don't get enough, specially cheese. Make your burritos how they used to be if I'm going to pay almost $20 for two of them. Also, don't argue with customer over one or 2 extra sauces, you're not king taco. I miss the OGs at this store. read more

Albertos Authentic Mexican Food - The new and soooo not improved bean and cheese, very disappointing. - Mexican Near Me - Covina, California

Got a asada torta, do not recommend worst torta I've had in my life. The asada and bread they use is horrible.

Literally scraped up 13.25 in the drive thru last night for the worse shrimp burrito I have ever had in my life. So extremely bland. When I say everything was TAN in color and flavor. Shrimp literally had no salt or pepper..... it was just cooked. That's it. I was hoping the verde would help but it was basically a water bag of green stuff. CORNY omg I was so disappointed read more

Came over here with my family tried these new shrimp tacos lettuce wrapped was extremely good finished it all and felt so full becuase of how good it was and the service was excellent really nice employees there. They gave me my food extra fast. I recommend you guys this place. 10/10 would go again. read more

Cashier rude as fuck! She tried to overcharge me and gave me attitude when I questioned the overcharge. She threw me the receipt and after she gave me my food, she slammed the window on me. Since the location got a new paint job, y'all should get some new staff. read more

I'm honestly surprised to be giving this place five stars--but it's well deserved, and here's why. This review is strictly for their Super Fries, and they absolutely nailed it. The fries themselves are the star: medium-thick cut, perfectly crispy, and they stay crispy--even under layers of beans, sour cream, guac, and meat. That's no small feat, since those toppings usually turn fries into a soggy mess. Somehow, this location gets the balance just right. Even the beef is better than expected--not top-tier steak, but definitely better than the usual chewy chuck you get at other spots. Out of all the places I've tried, this one just makes the Super Fries work. I've only had it via delivery, so I can't speak for the dine-in experience, but every time it's arrived hot, fresh, and consistently good. If you're craving solid carne asada fries, this is the spot. read more

Convenient drive thru. It gets pretty busy so you have to wait for your order and to pay which is fine. Small parking lot. There's a walk-up window and two parking spots in front of it. The food is great for sharing unless you have a big appetite lol. Turns out they sell candy apples which I didn't know until I got to the window. At least I know for next time :) read more

Skinny burritos not like how it used to be and charge more for less. Wish they kept quality the same if they are gonna charge more .

Good nachos and breakfast burritos. While a tad greasy, it satisfies the craving. Fast drive thru service.

This is my go to place for tortas now and they're always very consistent and good! The drive thru is pretty fast too read more

I want to begin by saying after the experience I just had, it is taking every ounce of me to not put a 1 (or 0 if we could) stars for my review. I have been eating here since I was in middle school and the food was always consistently good so I am giving them more than they deserve after my experience! So, I started by stopping by to pick up a breakfast burrito. I come randomly so I always ask what is in their burrito in case I need to take out anything that might upset my stomach. I came to the drive through and tried to speak with the girl through the Mike. Between the loud cars and wonky Mike, she couldn't really hear me. I tried to get louder but it was no use. I mainly wanted to know what was in the burrito but she kept hearing "bacon" (in bacon breakfast burrito) and asked several times if I wanted just bacon. She then continued by saying "let me know when you are ready." I quickly tried to get her attention by saying "hello, I'm ready to order" but she didn't respond. I then asked if I could come to the window and order there as there was no line. She didn't respond so I went to the window. Here's where I was really upset. I drove up and sat there. The girl in the front absolutely saw me, but didn't try to ask me my order or what I was trying to say in the Mike or even she is sorry for the technical difficulties, but just continued to take customers at the walk up window and ignored me. I had it when I saw them and just drove off. I don't want to throw the whole shop under the bus because maybe this girl was just having a bad day, but that's not the way to treat customers. read more

I LIVE TO GIVE A PLACE A SECOND CHANCE AND THEY REDEEM THEMSELVES! TWO YEARS LATER! Tonight, my dad and i wanted some food, and i was really craving taquitos with guac, and he wanted a burrito. We decided to go pretty late tonight (9:30pm) and WOW, WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! The service was fast as hell, the food was HOT and bomb, and the prices were really fair! The Chile verde burrito weighed as much as I did, and they did NOT skimp on the meat. Also, the tortilla was a homemade flour tortilla!!! WHERE THEY DO THAT AT NOW?! My "rolled tacos" were very tasty as well. They cheese and guac made the taquitos that much better, and I will 100% get them again. . My dad is one PICKY ASS MAN, and he definitely enjoyed his food and even said he will be back as well! ( a big deal for that picky Mexican) amazing job, Alberto's!! read more

They gave me a full refund and said it must have came from there tacos by accident hmmmmm.... Never gunna eat here again... Good thing I didn't give it to my 2 year old daughter like my plan was but she ate already. I do feel bad cuz she was a sweet older lady but damn come on now. read more

It was late at night and all of a sudden, I wanted carne asada fries. It literally just hit me out of nowhere and I jumped into my car in my PJs in search for some. I got to Pepe's and the drive-thru was ridiculously long and while I was there, my friend had mentioned to me that Alberto's has really good 'super fries' SO I BUSTED A U out of the drive-thru and cruised to Alberto's! I've always passed by this place but the location always turned me off. A small corner and there's usually always a line of cars out to the street. Luckily there was no one there last night. I got an order of asada fries (hold the beans pls) and within minutes I was on my way with my car smelling delish! Got home a few minutes later and wooooww he was so beautiful. So much guac and sour cream - I was in heaven. Lots of fries, meat and cheese as well - the salsa was bomb. The green one ok, not the red. I'm a weenie when it comes to hot stuff. Can't handle. ONE BIT. Idk if I'd make the drive to come back because yes it was really good but I'd say comparable to Pepe's - which is way closer to me. Idk. We will have to see. read more

This location is always a hit or miss with quality. It was my first time trying the carnitas burrito and it was very mediocre. It tasted pretty dry, you really need to use the side of salsa they provide. I wish they put salsa inside the burrito, or maybe sour cream to give it a boost? Aside from the flavor it was a pretty big burrito! I'd recommend getting a combo plate over their burritos. read more

this place gave me a cold asada burrito after I paid $12. it must have been from previous night because it was not even warm whatsoever. The audacity to serve a cold burrito and not make a fresh one. do not order from this place. terrible quality of food. Half a star if I can. read more

The worst Tacos I have ever had. The taco shells were burnt and the shredded beef was awful.

First off if you don't want to work there don't. No need for the attitude when I ask for the drinks I ordered and didn't receive. Second how do you repeat my order back to me and still hand me the wrong plate, and when I go try to get it fixed the guy argues trying to make their wrong a right. Don't recommend this place people here are very hostile and food isn't that good. (Seems like it's not the first time they get orders wrong either) read more

The California burritos are fire! So good.. place looks ok. Could use a make over or new paint. The cashier lady was so nice and patience lol. I couldn't decide what I wanted but overall, food was delicious. read more

Will never understand how you can order food, have the order repeated back to you, and still receive the order incorrect.

I've been coming here for well over a decade. they used to be so great and at a low cost. Nowadays, it's totally different! their prices have gone drastically up, their servings are tiny now and the service has also become poor. I know the price of food, in general, has gone up. But, usually, some places will charge you the same, but the amount will be less. then some others will charge you more while you get the same amount that you used to get. Alberto's, just like McDonald's now gives you less amount for waaaaaaaaaay more. I feel like my days of going to Alberto's has finally come to an end. *just as an update from my 2019 review. I've given this place a second chance a few times this past year or so. 100% of the time, they've got my order wrong!!! I'm not too fond of their "Jesus-ness" either. but, every time they've given me the wrong order, the cashier has a bit of an attitude (after I repeat my order to her multiple times (she said, "I know, I know"). This place used to be so great when they first opened and for a few years afterward. Now? not at all!!! read more

I love their California burrito I get it once a week maybe more depending on my mood. It has been consistent and very delicious. I haven't tried anything else on the menu so I'll stick to the classic read more

This place was great years ago now it's the typical trash. Tired eating here a month ago and it was horrible. Gave it one last chance tonight and even worse than the last. The food was beyond cold. From the time I ordered to when they handed me the food was 30 seconds or less. Clearly old food. Oil taste old I would never never eat here again STAY AWAY!!! Go to rays up the street they never miss. read more

I drive thru tonight as I have in the past I ordered the carne asada quesadilla as I have before well they used to I'm pretty sure cut it into 4 it's a burrito size flour tortilla anyways only cut in half and pretty much only filled it half way as well , the carne asada was falling out of the top and I thought oooh nice they didn't hold back!! Well the reason it was falling out of the top was because half of the whole tortilla was filled with not even enough cheese for the meat to cling to I'm very disappointed sorry to say and I don't think I'll be back !!!! see pics for reference read more

I don't know what happened to this place!!! The salsa was never good-- tasteless watery fluid in plastic catsup bags. The food has always been good until tonight!!!

I will try this place one more time if it's bad like it was tonight I will NEVER BE BACK read more

What an upset. Came here and ordered a bean and cheese burrito and shrimp burrito. First let me start with the bean and cheese burrito. Hi may I please have a bean and cheese burrito, only the beans cheese and tortilla cut in half. Lady taking order: Ok, anything else Me: Yes shrimp burrito with ONLY shrimp, egg, and cheese. Cut in half. Lady taking order: shrimp burrito? Me: Yes only Shrimp, egg and cheese. Cut in Half. Lady taking order: Shrimp, egg and sour cream? Me: No, Shrimp, egg and cheese burrito only nothing else. Lady taking order: Ok, cheese. Cut in half. Anything else? Me: No thank you. My receipt showed an extra $1.50 on top of my $8.50 shrimp burrito. Ok that's fine. My wife bean and cheese burrito exactly how I ordered, however the beans were not Warm/hot and cheese was not melted. Ugh!!! Now my shrimp burrito was everything I didn't want. It had shrimp, lettuce, some sort of sauce, other stuff, egg and if there was cheese I didn't taste it or see it, so what did I pay the extra $1.50 for? At least they cut it in half. C'mon guys not that difficult I specifically stated exactly what I wanted and you confirmed. SHRIMP, EGG, CHEESE ONLY!!!! Terrible.. Let's get it together Alberto!!!!!! read more

So me and my boyfriend drove down to get burritos. I ended up ordering the al pastor burrito with guacamole. (A girl loves her guacamole!) And we get home to find out that my burrito doesn't have guacamole. So we go back, let the staff know, and they kindly give us a second al pastor burrito with the guacamole....or so we thought! We drive all the way back home, and I open up the burrito to find no guacamole once again. It's not their fault I'm sure, I guess the universe didn't want me to have guacamole today haha. Me and my boyfriend laughed so hard at the horrible circumstances. I ended up calling them to let them know, and the head cashier guy was in disbelief and said he would check the cameras to confirm. I'll save him the trouble by posting my guac-less burritos. read more

I come to this Alberto's maybe once per month. I almost always get a wet bean, rice & cheese burrito. And it's almost always perfect. Every once in a great while the rice is a little undercooked. The crew there is always super friendly and I can't remember ever getting the wrong order... which is not something I can say about other fast food joints! read more
