I checked out an authentic Latin restaurant that absolutely delivered on flavor and quality…read more I ordered the shrimp burrito, and it was packed perfectly tender, well-seasoned shrimp, fresh rice and beans, and all the right toppings wrapped in a warm tortilla. I also appreciated that they offer different protein options, so there's something for everyone whether you're in the mood for chicken, steak, pork, or shrimp. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. On the side, I had the crispy yuca fritas, which were golden and crunchy on the outside with that soft, fluffy center inside. They were seasoned just right and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce. To top it off, I got a horchata sweet, creamy, and refreshing. Would highly recommend this spot. great prices

The pastel with…read moresteak was huge, really homemade (bubbles in the flour dough crust ), and reminded me in taste of my mom's beef empanadas. The steak and onions are almost perfect except I would have liked to add a little more juice/marinade/sauce. The fries and fried polenta are decent. I do wish fried rice rather than white rice was a side. I bought a chicken ball with cheese--very delicious. There was some dipping sauce that was white with herbs...not sure what it was but tasted okay. Not so sure how to use the Cassava flour but perhaps on my own rice. Overall, I am pleasantly satisfied and am enjoying the meal. I do recommend!

Thank you guys for staying consistent and for being nice to me every time I call.

When I first walked in, I was greeted by some Juanes playing over the speakers. I later noticed some customers choosing their music off in the corner. The interior has a casual cantina feel to it. A couple of TVs were showing History channel en español. Every table had a bottle of neon-green habanero sauce I recognized from many restaurants in Mérida, Mexico. "Okay, this place is legit," I thought. The chips and salsa were good, though I would have loved some extra salsa. I got three pupusas: revuelto, de loroco, and frijoles con queso. All very tasty. Hot, greasy, and cheesy like a pupusa should be. The pickled cabbage that accompanied was fine, though in other places I'd say it's a little bit crisper and brinier. The cold weather outside made me consider soup. As with most Salvadoran places, the standards were available: de res, de mariscos, and for the brave of heart, modongo (tripe). Considering I just wanted a small bit to eat, I passed when I saw the prices of $10-$11 per bowl. Usually that kind of price tag for soup means HUGE portion. Service is decent and friendly. The hostess sympathetically nodded when I ordered a water sin hielo (did I mention it was freezing outside?). I honestly don't know if the staff speaks English. This wasn't a problem for me, pero si no hablas español, quizás sería mejor si vayas a otro lugar. If you're not sure, give them a call and ask. Once I had ordered and received my food, they didn't come over unless I signaled to them. I certainly would go back, though I'm not often in the area. If you're in the area and want some truly authentic Mexican/Salvadoran food, this is the place.

Note that I haven't had the opportunity to visit Alberto's when they are open (see original…read morereview). I chose the rating above because I suspect they are good when they are open. The problem I cited in my original review was that the door signage and the hours reported on Yelp and Google said they were open on Monday. But the owner sent me a note a short while ago (about a month later now but he doesn't have to answer to me at all) saying they have had to close on Mondays: "Sort for the inconvenience but due to the personal we have to closed on Mondays" The hours on Yelp have been revised today also. The hours on Google now seem accurate. They should also fix the sign on the door but that's a bit less important as you don't see that until you're already there. I don't question a restaurant's right and need to be closed on Mondays. I am used to that. I just need to know if they are or not without actually facing the locked front door.

I so love yelp! I saw the pictures of what the restaurant looked like inside and not for those pictures, I would not have went just from looking at it outside. English is their second language and I am okay with that when it comes to food because that means the authenticity meter goes up. My friend had a ride before me and was sitting down with chips and salsa when I arrived. The restaurant was clean but also had a homily feel which I appreciated. After a few minutes the waitress had not returned so I jumped up to grab a menu and decide what I wanted. The menu was in Spanish but had pictures. That with my bad Spanish allowed me to order but I wanted. After some questions I decided upon two carne asada tacos, traditional. Easy, right? Yes! Those were the best tacos I have had in a long time at a restaurant. To meet with tender and there was not a lot of fat or hard in digestible pieces. The salsa verde was spectacular! I wanted to steal it but I kept my composure and remains classy and left it on the table. I actually really enjoyed my food. Must order the napoles and to it with both green sauces.

Once inside the venue, the sweet smell of flavors from across the southern border had all my senses awakened, what came after was just pure bliss in every bite I took of the lamb taco, the lengua taco, the roasted pork taco and the el pastor taco. I was immensely delighted at the idea that they had a great selection of soups to include the seafood soup ( very close to a cioppino). Why 4 out of 5 then?? Well they don't serve alcohol...yet? A good cerveza, a minty mojito and a grandma margarita would definitely make this place a slice of Mexico in our backyard.
