    Albert T.

    After visiting an Alberto Jr location and receiving a disappointing California Burrito, I decided to drop by Aliberto's Jr to try their rendition out. Carne Asada Fries Burrito ($10.74) - I have no idea why they call this a Carne Asada Fries Burrito rather than a California Burrito. Other than the fact that they have a California Burrito on the menu that isn't a California Burrito, but I digress. Anyway, this burrito is a surprisingly solid California Burrito. It's about 8 inch by 3.5 inches in size and is packed full of ingredients. They don't cheapen things out by overdoing it on the fries and instead focus on a well balanced burrito. The fries that are included still have a bit of a crisp on them and are tender on the interior. They construct the burrito so that there's essentially a layer of fries on the bottom, which is topped by everything else. The carne asada is probably the weakest part of the burrito - it's somewhat flavorful, but extremely salty and is missing any char or smokiness. Instead, it's very tender, although there are portions with fat and gristle attached. It could definitely use some more time on the grill. They add plenty of cheese, melted nicely, and sour cream and guac, more than enough to moisten every bite. While they do have a salsa bar, I found that there was enough moisture in the burrito that it didn't require any salsa. The tortilla is crisped up a bit on the flat top so it's warm and pliable. Overall the burrito is very well balanced, and the construction is good enough that it can easily be eaten on the go without falling apart. This is one of the better California Burritos I've had outside of San Diego. (4/5) The burrito was just under $11 before tax. There's not many other places around Seattle that can get you such value for the price. This place is solid for SoCal-style Mexican food. It's pretty much the same as all of the -berto's restaurants down in San Diego, so whenever I have a craving for that, I'll be back. Side note: I'm kind of surprised that Alberto Jr and Aliberto's Jr haven't filed lawsuits against each other, given that they have entirely different ownership, yet only have a single letter difference in the name and have logos that are essentially identical. Yes, I know some of it has to do with -berto's in general, but these two in particular are very easy to confuse and in very close proximity to each other.

    California burrito and chili container about the same width and 80% was expired pico de gallo. More like a flute than a burrito

    The place has really taken a nosedive. The burritos are as wide as the chili containers they serve, and the food is just plain nasty. It's never good anymore. South Seattle, on the other hand, is pretty consistent. But this Aurora location is terrible, no matter what time of day you go.

    This lady is rude bad ass customer service

    All we did was ask for her to take off sour cream and she was rude about it and had nasty at

    This place is pretty awesome. I've only been through the drive-through twice. It's a little bit ridiculous how to navigate getting in and out, but worth the effort. Birria meat is the specialty here, and they do it well. Great flavor, ample portions... exactly what I look for. But I also like their regular crunchy tacos with various meat fillings like carnitas or chicken. This is much better than your traditional fast food taco joints. It's much more authentic and tasty. The unfortunate thing for me is that I am on that side of the water infrequently, and this restaurant is near several other restaurants that I really like as well. So either I don't stop here, or when I do, it causes me to absolutely go over the top eating more than I should on that day. I give it a thumbs up, though, mostly because of the convenience of being able to drive through the varied menu, even though birria is their thing, and the food is fresh and flavorful.

    The food is good. When the restaurant first opened the food was amazing. Now when we order something is always missing. Guacamole/Sour Cream!! How can you miss the most important part of the meal? The employees over the phone sounds annoyed then says come back... nobody wants to drive back. Then your food is cold plus you have now wasted my time and money!! Triple check your ORDER!!!!! Everything time

    Carne asada tacos

    Quick service for takeout. We skipped the drive thru and walked in. We tried the following this trip: Carne asada burrito Shrimp taco 5 rolled tacos Chorizo breakfast burrito All good and ready in about 5 minutes. Salsa bar was open too. Would go back. Parking may be a challenge since it's a tiny lot.

    Fast amazing service best food love it here!! I love the main dishes and the desserts too!! If you haven't tried it come and give it a try!! East location to come to!

    Two bites in, Carne Asada Burrito - steak, pico de gallo and guacamole (12/3/22)
    Marie B.

    I had been awaiting this site to open in the former Taco Time location at 143rd/Aurora. Aliberto's Jr finally opened around Thanksgiving and greatly appreciate fellow Yelp Elites, Kristine, Erik, and Erica for posting. Note: unlike other fast food drive throughs, it does not have an entrance from the south, enter from the northside of the building adjacent to the auto parts store. From entrance to exit, it's like an upside down horseshoe. Trust me, I wasn't the only one having a drive through moment on this slushy Saturday (12/3/22). Big plus - their drive through is open 24/7. This could be dangerous, lol. There is a vast posted menu, but of course, Murphy's Law couldn't take a proper photo. I did ask for a takeout menu though. Turns out Aliberto's Jr is part of a Burritos California chain with sites in Seattle's University District and Fremont, Mountlake Terrace, and Lakewood. Because they go by various names, I wouldn't be surprised if there were additional locations. For this first ever visit, I ordered a carne asada burrito and was given both green and red salsa in my takeout bag. It sure was hefty that I weighed it on my baking scale....it was 19.25 ounces, well over a pound! I literally had not had a carne asada burrito for years, as I had switched to tacos and quesadillas. This particular behemoth was well wrapped in a tortilla containing grilled steak, pico de gallo, and guacamole. No rice, beans, cheese, or sour cream. Perfect since I didn't want any excessive carbs or dairy. This was delicious and gave me instant San Diego vibes. Convenient, economical, delicious, and friendly drive through service.

    Pollo asado soft taco too big for my hand
    Trang N.

    I go to San Diego about once a year. Whenever I'm there, i hit the taco spots hard. This new gem takes me there every time. Their fresh guacamole sauce and pico topped soft tacos gets me every time. I've tried ever taco twice over and the best tacos you can get are the el pastor(marinated pork) and pollo asado(grilled chicken) soft tacos. At 3.99 a piece they are loaded. I mean LOADED with meat. Look at the picture. Each taco is bigger than my hand and weighs over half a pound. If you want a small meal, get their kids menu chicken burrito or mini taquitos, it comes with fries or beans and rice with a drink for 5.99. You can't beat that. From 7am to 2pm they have a breakfast burrito special. For 4 bucks but you get a packed burrito with everything for the farm. You get ham, egg, cheese potatoes. The burrito weighs over a pound. Pro tip: get the kids meal with fries and get a side of carne asada (for 3.24) and pile the meat on top of your fries. Top your fries with pico, salsa, creama or guac and you will have a flavor bomb in your mouth so good you'll plan on alibertos Jr in your permanent budget like you do with Starbucks. The price to food ratio is awesome. You easily fill yourself for under 10 bucks. They lovely ladies at the register are soo nice, they make you wanna come back. El chino gordo has a permanent seat here twice a week. Y'all don't even know. Do yourself a favor. Come to this spot before it blows up. The 24 hour drive thru within 4 blocks of two weed spots is pure genius.

    What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle.

Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.

I ordered the Pork N' Bitch, which came with biscuits as the base, smothered in sausage gravy and topped with plenty of shredded cheese and bacon bits. The portion was huge and enough to feed two people. I only managed to eat half, and it kept me full for about eight hours. This is definitely a heavy and hearty meal. As for the taste, it was delicious and very savory. The biscuit was soft, and the bacon bits added a nice crispy texture. My only complaint is that I wish there had been more gravy. I also didn't really taste any sausage in the gravy. I was expecting more of a traditional Southern-style sausage gravy, but the flavor was a bit different from what I'm used to. This is more of a take out spot, as there isn't any indoor dining. Fortunately, it's located near the Pike's Marketplace, so I recommend taking your food for a walk toward the waterfront and finding a nice place to enjoy your meal. One funny thing was that I was expecting the person taking my order to greet me with, "Good morning, bitch! What can I get you?" Instead, he called me "sweetheart." LOL. Maybe he could tell I wasn't a local.
