    Quick service food was cooked to order and made for a nice lunch. No wait which was great and the restaurant looked and smelled fairly clean and that's always a Plus. Quick note if you pay cash it's better.

    #25. Chilaquiles Verdes Combo Plate
    Arnie H.

    Best burrito in East Highland and it's not even close. I moved out here and have been looking for a bomb burrito and came across this spot right on the corner of Greenspot and boulder and decided to give it a try with my girlfriend. I'm glad I did! The chilaquiles plate is 11$ and tastes homemade. Comes with a drink, beans and rice. I also got a California burrito and it tastes phenomenal. Their orange salsa was so good and creamy. The chile verde had a very nice flavor as well. The nice lady at the counter was very nice and Will definitely be coming back

    Where is the meat?

    Where is the meat? Ordered breakfast burrito - sausage, eggs, potato & cheese. $12.12. The burrito consisted of mostly potatoes, little amount of eggs, cheese & 1 sliver of link sausage. My first & last time visiting this place.

    menudo

    My girl like the food however, carefully choose.. as the menudo is menu-doo doo. There was no meat, each spoon came up empty until I decided to see for myself.

    Excellent Mexican food at this location. A carne asada and a bean and cheese burrito was our order. Overall our meals were very good and well portioned. Customer service was excellent, good affordable prices and they have a huge menu.

    What's the name of this place?  Albaro's or Alvaros Mexican Food? Two different names on one business.

    Drown your burrito in sauce and it may taste alright. Then again, even the sauce is bland. Not even kidding. Food here is mediocre. I feel they would do much better business in a food truck than they would operating a brick and mortar kitchen somewhere. This place hasn't been here for 20 years to look so run down. Bathroom looks unkept and I question myself each time after my first bite, "why did I come here?" There's only three spaces to park your car. Otherwise, you'll have to park your car at the risk of getting towed because each business has designated parking spots. This place has just three. it has always been my luck that I have found one space of three that are designated for this food place. Side note: What's the name of this business? Is it Albaro's or Alvaros Mexican Food? Picture attached. I'll let you decide.

    This place is not super welcoming and always feels kinda dirty. We live close but the food is always average. They do have some deals.

There's a lot of variety on the menu, which makes it a little hard to decide. I ordered the chilaquiles with asada and paid the upcharge, but the portion felt small and it was light on the meat. My wife ordered the ham and eggs, and the ham was more like thin sandwich-style ham. I was expecting something more like cubed or thicker-cut ham, so that was a little disappointing. The salsa was also pretty generic, and overall the portions felt a bit skimpy for the price. The food was good overall, nothing bad at all, but it didn't quite hit that wow moment for me. It feels like it's missing a small something, even though everything was fine. Service was on the slower side, and the food also took a while to come out, though they had a full house, so that likely played a role. The chips were okay, just pretty basic, like the kind you'd grab at the market. One thing to know going in is there's a 4% fee if you pay with a credit card. Overall, it's a solid place, but it didn't leave me wanting to come back anytime soon.

However, since the move to the current location about 10 years ago, the quality of the food has gradually declined. To their credit, there have consistently been a few great servers who helped keep the experience enjoyable. Before today, the last time I dined here was over a year ago, and the food was decent. Unfortunately, this visit was noticeably worse. I came in today with a group of about nine people and we were seated outdoors, which was nice with the cooler weather. There was a live band, which makes sense for outdoor seating, but it was obnoxious, and that's on us for sitting outside. When the food arrived, it was mostly lacking flavor. One person in our group mentioned the rice was overly salty, while another found raw onions in their enchiladas. I ordered the México City Chile Ortega, and the sauce tasted processed, almost like it came from a can. The beans and rice were bland and not very good. I wasn't the only one who felt this way, several people in our group were disappointed with their meals. After we left, one person in our group mentioned they were so put off by their food that they didn't finish it. They said their enchiladas didn't taste right, so they tried to just eat the chicken inside. While doing that, they found what appeared to be a pincher bug in the food. It wasn't reported at the time and no photo was taken, but it was still very gross, and I wish there was some kind of proof. However, based on this experience, we won't be coming back.

After a long week and zero desire to cook on a Friday night, I finally decided to give it a try. When I pulled up, the line was surprisingly short, which felt like a good sign. The order window is right out front, and the menu is simple and familiar: tacos, burritos, sopes, tortas, quesabirria. I ordered a little bit of almost everything: asada street tacos, a bean and cheese burrito, beans and rice, an asada mulita, an al pastor sope, and a quesabirria. Prices were reasonable, and I spent under $50 for the whole spread. Food came out in about 15 minutes and was packed neatly. The disappointment started once I got home. There was no salsa in the bags, which already put us at a disadvantage. Only then did I realize there's apparently a salsa bar inside along with a small seating area, something you don't see from the front order window. Had I known that, I would've grabbed what we needed before leaving. Then we opened the tacos and realized they came completely plain... no onion, no cilantro, nothing. Just tortillas and meat. Not exactly what I expected. Visually, everything else looked fine, so I was hoping the flavor would make up for it... but it didn't. Everything tasted bland, like the seasoning took the night off. The only thing I halfway enjoyed was the beans and rice, and my family felt the same way. Maybe my expectations were too high based on the crowds I always see, but everything tasted like tortillas, meat, and cheese... and not much else. I'll give them credit for fair pricing and quick service, but that's about it. I really wish the cashier had mentioned that the tacos come plain or pointed me toward the salsa setup. Overall, not the experience I expected, and not one I'd rush back for.
