Was greeted by a very nice man to place my order of five chicken taquitos rice & beans along with a refreshing horchata beverage Sat down to wait for my order to be called instead the gentleman brought our food which I didn't expect, very pleasant mannerisms. Place has a little a. nostalgia kinda of what you can expect from little hole in the wall. Overall I'd recommend this spot. read more

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.

I just got an amazing birria quesadilla from here! It was not on the menu, but birria was, and it was one of the best quesadillas I've ever had. I put it on the passenger seat in my car, and it settoff the passenger seat belt alert. That's how much meat was in it! If you are tired of the chain fast food places, that barely give you any meat for your money, give this place a try and support a local family run business! read more

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. read more

They must have changed ownership The food used to be good ate here over 3yrs ago, decided to give it a try since my friend likes Mexican food big mistake ordered the 4 potato taco special with beans and rice, the guacamole was fake and tasted like chemicals like it came out of a bag, tacos were crispy tasted ok that's when I noticed water dripping from them so they must have been frozen then deep fried rice tasted funky and the beens also had a chemical taste to them on my way back home I new something was wrong, Got home and laid some horrendous smelling Explosive Diarrhea...NEVER AGAIN! And if you do make sure there's a toilet nearby. read more

The best Menudo in town!!! Homemade tortillas, chili, salsa and guacamole!!! Love the deals too. You won't break the bank though. The ppl are so nice to me and my family and always wear a smile. It's kinda small so only good for lunch or to take home. It's very clean and smells so pleasant kinda like someone's home! I recommend the wet burritos, tacos, enchiladas, menudo and chile relleno!!! Tell them Maisha sent you!!! read more

Best breakfast burrito I've had in ages! Driving through town early in the morning my family and I pulled off to get gas and grab some breakfast. I'm so glad my husband wanted a breakfast burrito because that led us to Albaro's! The service was so friendly, the restaurant was very clean. Everything in the burrito was super fresh. Not to mention the burritos were huge and we got 4 for 34 bucks. You can't beat that! Seriously a 10 out of 10 experience. I only wish it wasn't so far from home for me! read more

Food was cold. Enchiladas didn't have melted cheese. Taco meat was cold and bean and cheese Buritto was cold. At lease warm it up before serving... read more

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 read more

I visit this place when everything else is closed. Not my top place as the restaurant could use a little remodel and their prices are a bit high. Food quality is decent. The service is good as well. read more

What in the world happened? Went a couple of days ago for crispy hard shell tacos. The chicken tacos were umm chicken in enchilada type sauce and the shells were the kind you get at Taco Bell. The beef taco had no flavor and was semi-crispy. I tried to order chile verde a la cart, but they don't do that. This place used to be good and I'm really disappointed. This is a small place and have a couple of tables to eat there. The service was quick but now I know why. I will add that young man that took my order ( to go) was polite. I do not believe I'll be going back. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food is disgusting! No taste, dry ass bacon, chilaquiles are stale and made with old oil. Asked for bacon and eggs and bacon was harder than jerky! Meat was old. Asked for an order of Chile Verde and it was made with chicken. The Chile Verde on the menu was pork ribs. Restaurant stank of too much cleaning products. Counters were filthy. I'm not a picky eater, but this place was very disappointing . Do not eat here if you want good food. If there was an option for zero stars they would get minus 5!!! read more

Awful food quality. Ordered the super nachos and Mexican Coke and paid a ridiculous $23 for my meal. I received my food no more than 2 minutes after ordering (which is suspiciously fast when it comes to ordering at a Mexican restaurant). I opened my nachos to find that I got super fries instead. I sent the item back and waited for the correct order to be given to me. When I got my correct meal (again surprisingly quickly) I noted the food was cold. Was it the tomatoes? No it can't make the food that cold. Was it the avocado? The cheese? The sour cream? No. It was the meat. The meat was cold, it was refrigerator cold, as of the food was yesterday's leftover meat that was left out to thaw for 30 minutes before being given to me to eat. This food quality was unacceptable for the price. I threw away most of it in disgust and I do not recommend anyone go here. read more

We have been frequenting this place since it opened. Although it lacks the polish of similar over-the-counter restaurants operated by large companies, the food has always been good, served quickly and at a reasonable price. One of the interesting things about this place is the menu. Decoding it requires a long session of blankly staring at a selection of items that are basically offered in a variety of ways at different prices. If you know what you want, then ordering is easy - if you don't know exactly what you want then you may be in for a surprise. On Super Bowl Sunday, we ordered our typical selection of taquitos with rice and beans - the on-line menu says this is $6.99 - with a drink, around eight bucks. This time, when we went to collect our order, all the menu prices were covered with tape and what used to cost around eight dollars was now fifteen....? Really? Double? Two orders of basically fast food was well over $30 after the fee they charge for using a credit card. OK, I get it. everything is going up.... but double? The food is good (not great), but it ain't that good. Other options in the area can deliver similar cuisine for about half (including a walk-in that serves you at the table). I probably would have passed on Albaro's for something else if I realized that the menu had doubled. I can't say if the price increase is something that was only for Super Bowl Sunday, or if it has been adjusted permanently (or if I just never spotted it) - but it's not something that I will support. read more

My order was made incorrectly. So I drove back and asked for a refund, to which the man that I spoke with did not want to give me all my money back but eventually did. My burrito was barely wrapped together as if it was rushed. I had to re-roll it myself...I do not recommend this place. Green sauce was good tho. read more

I run in this place to grab breakfast burritos all of the time!!! The burritos can choke whale!!! Everything about it is great. The service is friendly and fast also. If in the area hot this place for sure read more

Pretty good Mexican food fast and super friendly. We stopped by here a few times the food is fresh and good. We had some burritos and rolled tacos from here all were tasty. But it was better the first time we came when an older gentlemen was cooking. We came back a different time when some younger ladies were working but the food wasn't as good. We got a party platter of rolled tacos but they weren't as good as the rolled tacos we ate when the older gentlemen was cooking. They were a little overdone and kinda small for the price we paid. We might return but only if we see the older gentlemen cooking then will know it's going to be Awesome. read more

I've only gotten the breakfast burrito. And it's good. Oh I did order taquitos once and there wasn't as much meat as I would've liked, like when you take a bite and it's mostly tortilla. So I'll probably just stick to the breakfast burritos. read more

I can't say enough about this place I grew up eating here and coming back here more than 10+ years later and it still taste the same it's like going back in time . read more

Horrible food. No flavor. Way over priced. 11 bucks for a torta...smh Never coming here again. read more

*Visited business before COVID-19; appreciation post* Getting there: This spot is one of those places you wouldn't notice right away even though its on the corner of Greenspot. It's right behind the Valero gas station. It's not a busy shopping center so there's always parking available in the front of the store. Experience: I discovered this place on accident one day just by searching Mexican food near me, but I am so glad I discovered this place. Their food is so authentic and made to order. I normally get a carne asada burrito. The portion sizes are pretty normal so one burrito usually fills me up, but I eat like a rabbit so that should give you some incite. Overall, great food! Tips: - Grab a bunch of their green salsa for your burritos or tacos. You won't regret it. read more

The chimichanga is our favorite. The owner is always there putting in hard work. The food is delicious I'm very grateful for this place

Just stopped by to grab a Super Nacho and it was absolutely perfect. Holy cow it was so big that I shared it with my Mom and we couldn't eat the whole thing. It was only 11ish dollars. What a deal! It was better than any restaurant that I have been to and they served it very fast. I maybe waited less than 5 min. It was so big the box could barely close. Thank you!!! Will definitely be back again soon. All the food was fresh and tasty. read more

I gave 1 star because I have to in order to write a review! We got carne asada fries! AWFUL! And the price made them disgusting! Frozen fries DRENCHED in some kinda flavorless guacamole sauce/salsa stuff with some carne asada and shredded cheese that was not even attempting to melt because our food was cold! I am beyond disappointed! NEVER AGAIN! read more

The prices are on the high side for Mexican food. My wife and I both had the same thing: carne asada fries and beans on the side. We both got the runs from it. This is the second time it has happened here. The first time we shrugged it off but then it happened a second time. Eat here at your own risk, I guess. There are much better Mexican food options in the area. We won't be coming back. read more

In More than 20 years I always eat here or buy food on my way to work . They have a good food and staff are friendly.

This place is closed. We drove out of our way to come here and it's not open. Their yelp was not updated.

Prices are RIDICULOUS. Very basic Mexican food for over the top price.. these people are banking on the fact that they're the only "Mexican" joint in the area so they Jack up prices. Plenty of other spots not so far away... read more

Found hair in the food and I got food poisoning. The service was slow and the food was cold.

They never fail me! If im being honest there was one week i went here every single night for dinner after work lol! I try and get something new each time but im a sucker for their chicken BRC! Sooo good! And their fish tacos are awesome! Im trying to think of a complaint so i dont sound biased, but truth is i cant come up w one. Also just realized I haven't had Rosie Maria's since i found this place! My family love team Albaro's! Keep up that great kitchen work! read more

I came as my girlfriend bought me lunch and told me how good it is. I was very surprised by how right she was. To me, the price seemed a little high and the wait a little long, but totally worth it. Food was hot, very tasty and I did not go out hungry. Food portions were very generous, but the limited seating made getting a seat tougher than normal. I would eat here again as long as I had the time. Food is prepared as you order, making it a great place to eat. read more
