I don't know what more I can say about this place that hasn't already escaped my mouth between bites. Their carne asada burrito -- loaded with sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo -- is, without question, the crown jewel of their menu. It doesn't just hit the spot; it finds the spot, pulls up a chair, and makes itself at home. And that red hot sauce? The perfect wingman to an already incredible cut of beef. It's not trying to steal the show -- it's just making everything around it better, like a good soundtrack. Whether you're crawling in after a long shift with zero desire to cook, or fueling up for a late-night adventure, this is your place. Honestly, your kitchen should be a little jealous. read more

HOT CHEETO BURRITO FAVORITE BURRITO OF ALL TIME. It's now a permanent item in the menu but be sure to ask for FRIES AND GUACAMOLE INSIDE the burrito. The burrito is seasoned with their tender carne asada wrapped in a toasted tortilla. The guac and fries make the perfect bite. read more

Nooooo chin! Ordered the "Hot Cheetos" fries. The amount of Hot Cheetos served has to be a joke. Let me tell you, the 50 cent bags we used to purchase as kids are an abundance compared to this false-advertised dish lol. Looked like someone was eating Hot Cheetos and sneezed lol what a joke. Not the first time this happens. Not surprised they only got 3 stars. Pero para cobrar las babosadas están cabrones lol puras mamadukes! Only reason 2 stars and not 1 because the asada was good read more

I received horrible service today from this location on 07/31/2026. I passed through the drive through everything was going smoothly and placed my order. Mind you, I hardly come to this location as it is a bit further for me. As I'm placing my order, I ask for a large horchata, an order of super fries with LIGHT frijoles, and an order of five rolled taquitos. At this point, the cashier is laughing at something in the headset, laughing more than once. I look at my sister confused but okay we keep it moving. We get to the window and the cashier by the name ANITA takes our payment in cash. She gives us the receipt which did NOT include the large horchata and instead said "XTRA frijoles". I get the cooks attention and questioned him why the charge if it's supposed to be light. He says that he doesn't know much but when they do substitutions they have to charge it that way. He then says wait I don't know let me ask. I say okay and then the cashier comes to hand us our food. I then ask her about it and she says "oh we're supposed to charge it like that when people add stuff" and then I tell her "well what do you mean because I only asked for a little bit of frijoles?" To which then she gives me attitude and says, "well the super fries don't come with frijoles so that's why we put it that way" and I responded to her saying "I don't come here often so I didn't know that. You should've told me about it first and told me about the up charge." And she just smiled all sarcastically and gave us the food. Oh well guess that's what happens when you don't pay attention to the order you're taking. read more

Came here by accident instead of the nearby taco place because my friend and I couldn't read signs; we didn't notice until we ordered lol. We ordered fish and shrimp tacos because of the taco Tuesday deal. It's a drive through with outside seating only, so be prepared to sit in the cold or take it home. To begin, something I thought was weird was that although the receipt said $9.88, we were charged $10.27. We didn't say anything at the time because I mean it's just 40 cents but it's kind of shady. I don't mind tipping or paying extra, but wish there was more transparency because it reflects on the business and their values. Anyways, onto the food. The fish and shrimp tacos were BOGO so about $5 for 2 or $2.50 per taco. It's not even worth $2.50. They were honestly the worst fish tacos I've ever had. They were soggy, bland, and the sauce just tasted watery. I lost my appetite eating it. Now I know you shouldn't expect much from Alfredo's Mexican Food, as they're usually known to be that one option that's open at 1am or something, but come on now... Sometimes quantity and convenience should not be prioritized over quality. I still gag thinking about this sorry excuse for a fish taco. Also despite the Taco Tuesday deal, I've seen places that were cheaper AND didn't taste like a wet dog. read more

I have driven past this place many times in the evening time and the neon sign always stood out to me. Decided to try it out today and was thoroughly impressed. The menu had everything I could hope for, and the server helped me make sure my order was to my liking. Special shoutout to the manager of this location Ziran for letting me know I could customize my burrito and walking me through my options. I got an adobada burrito with rice, beans, and guacamole. The guacamole tasted fresh and really complemented the smoky taste of the pork. Adding the red sauce on top added spice and tied everything together for me in which was one of the best burritos I've had in the 626 area. I would certainly recommend this spot to anyone looking for some quick, yet flavorful and filling eats without having to break the bank. read more

The fries are delicious, good seasoning on them. The Taquitos were also delicious. Good flavor and were nice and crispy. Saw a video on TikTok and decided to give it a try. Green salsa was good too. Nice that this place is 24 hours. Will be back. read more

Worst service ever. And the worst burrito I've ever tasted in my life. Just meat and guacamole. Thank god I didn't waste any more than $15 on That. Yeah overall this place has gone to crap and they had us waiting for nothing while our food was just sitting there. We had to speak up and they acknowledged us and just handed us the bag like it was just done..What a joke. !! ‍ read more

It's sad to see what was once my favorite local taco/burrito stop go from amazing to bad in the last five years. My son asked if we could go here today, and this visit will be our last. The way things here have gone downhill, I won't be surprised to see this once-great fast food restaurant shuttered within a year. Service: When I first started coming here, the workers showed genuine appreciation for your business. When you ordered, they repeated your order back to you to make sure it was right. Imagine that! Today, I ordered 5 taquitos with guacamole and cheese and 2 carne asada burritos. The order speaker is old and hard to hear... has been for some time... but the cashier barely pushed the receiver to say "pull forward"-- just dead keys the microphone, then got our order wrong anyway and only included one burrito instead of two. The last few times I've come here, the worker seems determined to make sure I know what an inconvenience it is that I'm here ordering food. No smile, no greeting, no "thank you," nothing. Just this look on her face like she's smelling a fart in church, and a "please don't come back again" expression. Prices and products: a year ago, a carne asada burrito was $6.49. Today: $9.99 plus tax. Yeah, go ahead and tell me about the cost of food and transportation and distribution and labor shortages and that's fine-- but then, give me the same burrito you used to make, not one that is CLEARLY smaller than it used to be. Like, noticeably lighter and not nearly the size it used to be. And their new "limit 2 hot sauce cups per order" with 25¢ per extra? ... and again, the ones in the bag today were so ridiculously watered down, they weren't even salty or hot anymore. Sad how terrible this has gotten here. So to review: Alfredo's, you survived COVID shutdowns, then decided to raise prices 40%, shrink your food items, start charging for loss leaders like tiny plastic cups of watered down hot sauce (yes, we all noticed), and treat long-time customers with rudeness and a lack of basic business courtesy on top of it all? We're out, and won't be back... makes me pretty sad-- this place was my kids' favorite place in our neighborhood. But our twice-a-month orders for an average $50/each as a family just became never and zero. Can't imagine I'm alone on that one. Good luck, Alfredo's, we'll miss you, but honestly, we've missed you for a long time. read more

I recently visited Alfredo after seeing a TikTok review by Hungry4Munches, where he claimed their carne asada fries were "bomb." After watching the video, I was excited to try them for myself, so I headed there at 10 PM, thinking I'd enjoy a late-night snack. Unfortunately, I was let down. The carne asada fries were awful. The asada had no flavor whatsoever, and the fries were soggy and lukewarm--definitely not fresh. To top it off, the green sauce was just watery and bland, which only made the combo worst I also noticed a sign saying the place was under new management, and now I understand why the food was so disappointing. Trash... What a waste of time. I won't be coming back and definitely do not recommend this place if you're craving good carne asada fries. Worst experience! Top it off my wife is pregnant with munchies and didn't want to even touch it! Sorry I would give 0 star if I could. read more

Never had a problem with my order here. Usually order shrimp burrito and always extremely good . Will think twice in future as price higher light on shrimp and tortilla felt old. read more

I placed an online order through yelp. When I got there, the cashier (lady) told me their tablet was off and they've stopped accepting online orders. (which ok understandable) My issue was that she did not try to accommodate me. She was just rude with an attitude. The charge is currently pending. Also! one of my coworkers felt sick after having the Nachos with asada. She mentioned that the meat was like not chewable. I've read all these past reviews and thankfully it isn't just me. I wonder how this place is still running.....Do better. read more

I'm always here for the machaca plate and surf and turf burrito which is only 10-11$ !!! That's unheard of . I don't have to drive all the way to San Diego 32nd street for a surf and turf burrito I can just come here and I love this place for keeping me going read more

love the taquitos, overall a very nice spot with good customer service. would stop by again

The night cashier will take your credit card information. Check your receipt before leaving. The cashier adds a "misc" charge and then they do another adjustment charge. They cashier will charge you twice and give you only one receipt. I checked my bank account and there was 3 separate transactions for $20. Good thing I only keep what I'm going to spend in that account but this place needs to be shut down. Or at least hire a new staff and management. read more

Alfredo's Mexican Food - Cashier scam - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

I ordered via a food delivery app for pickup. Asked for sour cream on the side and extra salsa and didn't receive it. They only give 3 of the tinyyy 1-1.5 inch containers for salsa, bummer I enjoy my salsa... They forgot the sour cream and there's no beans in their "super fries" either. Overall the cheese was lacking, and the meat was just okay just like the fries were. I would stick with Alberto's on Peck next time, it's much better read more

One of the biggest disappointments I've had with a burrito. I ordered a shredded chicken burrito. It's all just pure chicken and a tortilla ( my fault for not clarifying my order). The chicken might taste better not in a burrito, it wasn't even shredded, unless that is what they consider shredded. My burrito was soggy. Looking for a place to eat lunch today was a fail. My burrito reminded me of the movie ' Tremors' . read more

I called ahead for 2 separate order and when I get there, the lady at the register had an attitude already... I told her I was there for two order and she was charging me for both. I asked her to separate the two order... each order had one item... and she asks "how do you want me to separate them".... I almost told her to charge for half of each item bc ofc that more logical than charging one item in one order and the other item in the second order. They charge for chiles toreados now and even for the salsas which I didn't even want. Worst experience at Alfredo's I've had. Very disappointed with the service. Food looks fresh tho bc they had me wait for it to be made (15 minutes) even tho I called 15 minutes prior my arrival smh ... what's the e point of ordering ahead if they won't have it ready anyways. read more

Alfredo's Mexican Food - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

THEY NOW SERVE GROUND UP MEAT AND CALL IT "CARNE ASADA" It pains me to write this review because this was my favorite place for carne asada fries and I've been coming here for a decade. I ordered carne asada fries but was served ground up meat instead. When I opened the box, I knew immediately that something was off. The meat wasn't chunky or dark brown. It was ground and had a very pale brown color (ew.) It looked like the reject meat that was ground up then served as fake carne asada. To verify that I wasn't crazy, I looked at old Yelp photos for Alfredo's and compared the meat served back then to what I received now and can see the noticeable difference between the two. I tried some of the meat and it just didn't taste like carne asada. I'm not a food snob, but ground beef is NOT carne asada. Carne asada is grilled steak - I don't know why they're serving ground beef instead. They're also now charging $13 for "carne asada" fries which is ludicrous. Alfredo's need to either replace the word "carne asada" to "ground beef" on their menu or bring back the legit carne asada meat. Luckily I was able to get a refund. I'm pleased about that, but I will never come back here. I'm sure other places still serve carne asada. read more

I've been slugging along here since my childhood whenever hooked on a fix for that carne asada fries. This fast food Mexican joint serves up a huge portion of meat, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guac all in a monster tray serving - perfect to split with a friend or two. The prices leaning on the edge of pricey make you wonder if it's better to swing by around the corner for quality tacos, but then you remember again feeling hungry at 2AM leaves you no choice but to dig in deeper for your super fries addiction. The double double-thru and card payment acceptance make this the most convenient place to pickup your late night cravings. I believe there a few other locations spread out thru SGV. The carne asada fries are still missing the heavy balance of salsa, sour cream, and guac smothered all over the fries as originated from San Diego, but this chain still happily dish out quick comfort food at always-open hours and quick-to-prepare menu. read more

Okay gave this place a couple more tries. The past two times we have waited over 20 minutes for food. It's just so wild to wait this long for a fast food, drive through place. It looks like they just don't have sense of urgency. They also have two drive though lanes. They should probably only use one side if they can't handle the amount of orders for two sides. read more

Surf and turf burrito, sope combination plate, and taquitos with guacamole were ordered from the drive-thru. Food: 3.5 of 5 The food is decent sized. They're not the most flavor-saturated, but it may definitely take care of your cravings for Mexican food. I can't speak on the burrito, but I hear it was good. It was huge in size and super heavy, though! I can imagine it was super filling. The sopes combination was good; it comes with refried beans and rice. The taquitos (3) were smothered in guacamole and topped with shredded cheese. Can't say no to that! Again, the food is pretty bland, but it gets the job done! Service: 3 out of 5 For a fast food joint, they take incredibly long to prepare. We waited at the drive-thru window for a good 15 minutes for the food to be prepared. I suppose that's a good thing in a way, because they're preparing fresh food as the order comes in? Also, they have an interesting setup with the drive-thru. There are 2 drive-thru windows on either side of the building. The one I used (on the left side from the entrance to the drive-thru) had a window on the right side of the vehicle. So, if someone accidentally gets onto this lane with no passenger sitting on the right side of the vehicle, making transaction and gathering food will be very challenging. When in doubt, just get into the right lane leading to the right side of the building. Also, the drive-thru lanes are narrow, so be careful! read more

Alfredos is such a good spot to go to when you're craving express Mexican food. The prices are relatively reasonable and the food is always good. The meat they use her is way juicer than their competitors and there is so much flavor! My sister is a vegetarian and I got her the potato tacos. She said it was delicious and had so much flavor. I got super nachos and was scared that the chips would get soggy from being in the box on the drive home, but to my surprise it was still crispy and the cheese on top had time to melt. read more

It's been awhile since I left a review but the lady in front has a terrible unnecessary attitude for absolutely no reason. She pretended to not speak any English when I asked her if the nachos had beans.. she had so much sass and sounded really irritated with me.. I didn't understand what she was saying so I just let it go and said okay.. A few minutes later I heard her take an order fluently on her headset. If she hates her job so much.. she honestly should work somewhere else. Please fire her lol read more

Went here on Monday night at 7pm, no line... And now I know why. Pros: - Even though I didn't take advantage of it, it is open 24 hours Cons: - Pricey, $10 for a burrito when next door, Tacos Ensenada is tastier and cheaper - Service fee, charged $0.75 for using credit card, no sign or warning of it, not co - Service, as noted, I was the only person there but the cashier made me feel like I was bothering him for placing an order - Sauce, asked for two green sauce, he said, yup two green sauces. Nope, one red one green I will not be coming back. read more

Stay away from the asada based plates/burritos. I ordered super nachos today and about 30% of the meat was un-chewable, in other words 'not' asada. Last week I ordered the asada burrito and same. $15 for super nachos and $11 for a burrito. I expected better quality for those prices. read more
