    Torta pueblano
    Christian U.

    Man this place reminds me of the old pueblos of Mexico which is super awesome! It's located in the city of cypress And parking is kinda of small so be careful . The environment is super simple but super homey and welcoming The servers were also super helpful I was greeted by the nicest cashier The price is kind of high but it's definitely worth it you can definitely taste the quality of the food ! I got a torta and a drink and in total paid 18 and change which wasn't bad The taste of the actual food Is amazing! The bread was fresh and overall everything was super tastey! All in all I'll definitely be back!

    I'm coming back to add a picture after continuing to come here for the delicious Caldo de mole de olla. It surely never fails on a cold chilly day.

    Caldo Tlalpeño Great flavor, delicious tortillas handmade. Excellent service, I will keep coming back. I tried the Caldo Tlalpeño, the people working there really care about their food and the service, I noticed other customers enjoying their food. Thank you to their staff, your food is delicious

    Don't let this small restaurant fool you, it is very delicious! I'd say a hidden gem only locals will know. They have good authentic food and a wide selection of meats. Highly recommend to anyone that is into Mexican food. My only issue is that it is pretty small, they should have outdoor seating as well.

    This is my favorite hole in the wall in all of OC. They have my personal favorite (all day long), Chilaquiles. And you can't go wrong with a wet burrito with salsa verde, with a side of habanero salsa. So delicious! It is cash only, but they have an ATM. Everything is made fresh. I also tried the chicken tlalpeño, which is similar to menudo, and that was spicy, rich, and flavorful. Definitely would return here to try the menudo! Make sure to come before or around lunchtime before they run out! also, the staff is very polite, attentive, and friendly. can't beat that!!

    The mole poblano is easily 6 stars. That sauce...(swoon)! Smoky and dark in color and slightly sweet with a spicy kick, served over a perfectly cooked juicy chicken thigh and drumstick; $10.99. The dish comes with three tortillas which are as thick as they come. I was in awe how fluffy they were in spite being about 1.5x the regular width. The Brawny man would be blown away how amazing a job those tortillas were for soping up that mole sauce! My 3 y/o son and hubs got the taquito plate and beef enchiladas with green sauce; both $7.99 each. The rice and beans are ok...its the main item that steals the spotlight. The taquitos were made from those same thick tortillas and had an amazing crunch! Just a note, they come covered in lettuce & crema, so if you like them uber crunchy like I do, I'd ask for it on the side or not at all. The green enchiladas were tasty, moist and delicious...my Hubs says the meat was really good and the best part of his meal. We both agree the staff was amazing and very nice....even though there was a language barrier. Only 1 gentleman speaks English & he was not there until right before we left. p.s. Signs were up everywhere saying they are currently not taking credit cards. I would say it is safe to assume this is a cash only establishment. There's a ATM at the liquor store next door.

    I know a little bit of Spanish. Their hours of operation.

    I have been at your restaurant in Cypress with my family three times. Last night, again we expected…read morehaving a good time. The place was busy as usually and we were told that wait would be around 15-20 minutes. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks. I ordered Macallan 12 Yr. and to my surprise, the bartender served it on a brandy glass rather than on a whiskey glass. Bad start. In less than five minutes our table was ready, not where we asked, but on the patio. It was cold and we asked the server to shut off the ceiling fan on top of us. Never happened. We ordered our food and asked for the wine list. Oddly enough the beverage list did not have a wine list, we as the server again for a wine list, another server came and told us that we did not see the wine list on the beverage list. We told him there is not a wine list on the list. A third server brought another similar list with a wine list. We ordered a Joel Gott Cabernet. We got our food but not the wine. We waited and waited and no wine was served. We asked another server to find out about the wine. The original server brought one single glass of wine, and we reminded him that we had ordered a full bottle. Another ten minutes passed and still no wine. By then, we were almost done with our meals. My grandson got up and told the server to forget the wine. Five minutes later another server brought the same glass of wine and left on the table. I thought, well people make mistakes, the place was packed and they felt bad about our bad experience. We got the check and to my surprise they charged me $11 for the glass of wine I did not order. As a former business owner, I always welcomed customers' suggestions.

    Alberto's Mexican Food - Cypress, CA February 5, 2026…read more First visit This was my first time at Alberto's Mexican Food in Cypress, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the beef taco and beef taquitos, and both hit the spot. The beef taco came loaded with lettuce and cheese, and the shell was perfectly cooked--not greasy, not soggy. The beef was nicely seasoned, and the hot sauce served on the side paired with it perfectly, adding just the right amount of kick. The beef taquitos were also very good--crispy, filled generously, topped with plenty of melted cheese, and finished with a guacamole sauce that was especially tasty. The rice and beans were average, nothing bad, just not standout--but everything else more than made up for it. All in all, a very solid experience, especially for a first visit. I'd definitely return and try more items on the menu.

However, this is the 2nd time we've had a missing item from our takeout. We moved away, but grew up with Albertaco's and we LOVE IT. Carne asada fries, chicken quesadilla, cali burrito, their red salsa, chef's kiss. Last year May 2025, we drove and did takeout for our brothers birthday. We ordered 2 carne asada fries, and they only gave us 1 (our order was big). Yesterday, May 17,2026, I drove out here again for my brother's birthday request to do takeout for our entire family. Ordered 2 orders of their rolled tacos, finally got home to see that we only received 1 order of the rolled tacos, not 2 (we also ordered more things). Yes, you'd obviously like for everything that you paid for to be handed to you, but a lesson learned to check your bags!!! If something is missing, kindly let them know and receive everything you paid for. Not the end of the world, we love this place as this is one of our childhood comfort foods/go-to places.. we moved away and miss this place all the time, and to make our birthdays feel like home/childhood, we drive out here to show our loved one some extra love with Albertaco's BOMB food, but yeah, it's a bummer when you're missing things that you paid for & is shown on the receipt (will post receipt photo shortly).

HUGE Disappointment. To put it bluntly, I would have had a vastly tastier meal at Chipotle. The Food: Sub-Par and Speed-Warmed Nothing on the plate had any FLAVOR, and the temperature of the food was warm at best. The Rice & Beans: The beans were warm/cold and entirely unseasoned. Shockingly, the rice was plain, white, and completely flavorless. White rice at a Mexican restaurant? Seriously? Chilaquiles: These were entirely ruined, hidden under a slab of meat and a strange, bright yellow egg substance. Scrambled Eggs: They had a terrible, distinct taste of powdered origin. Chile Relleno: This was obviously prepared way in advance and just reheated, as the inside was still completely cold. Fish Taco: This was delivered on a flat, no flavor, and cold tortilla. Pico de Gallo: It was completely mushy, which is a strong indication that they are using canned, cubed tomatoes instead of fresh ones. Gaslit by Staff When I confronted the staff about the complete lack of flavor, I was dismissed and told that their "customers rave about it." They are clearly out of touch. Do not let the social media photos fool you. Seriously disappointed and mislead by social media. Sub Par! This food is completely bland, poorly prepared, and a total waste of money. NO BUENO!

You can tell they put a lot of care into the quality and preparation of their food. The service was great, the atmosphere was welcoming, and most importantly, the food tasted like real Mexican food.
