I know Mexican food. I promise. Crunchy chicken tacos specifically. Chicken is the only meat I eat, so I can only speak on that. Ever since I moved here from South Carolina/Georgia (right on the border), I was homesick just because of my favorite Mexican restaurant. Seriously nothing here came close... until I found this place. I have autism, with this I have pretty extreme sensory issues when it comes to food (ARFID), and this is my safe food. They are always consistent. They have been consistent since I was in school 4 years ago. Every time, I put in a special request for double rice instead of beans, and they honor it even though they don't have to. They have the best rice. It tastes just like the rice my Mexican friend's mom would make, and the aunties at the parties -- if you don't like it, you may just not enjoy authentic Mexican food. Luckily for you, there's plenty of places here for that . Also, I noticed some of the reviews. I have been in the drive thru and inside multiple times, and have had nothing but great experiences. I think it's important we understand that nobody owes you the overly expressive and fake customer service we're so used to. I always let them know I am very grateful for the food, and it's the best food around. KINDNESS EQUATES TO KINDNESS. Nobody owes you anything. Please treat them with respect. I swear, some of you are so entitled and don't consider the language barriers, culture differences, etc. you just expect everyone to bow down at your very presence. IMPORTANT NOTE: Saw someone here complaining about the 'waitress'. Maybe you should've checked Google first... or called? Idk, because you just sound plain ignorant. "Albertacos does not have waitresses. It operates as a fast-casual restaurant where you order at a front counter or drive-thru, pick up your food, and seat yourself." ^^ Ever been to Panera? Okay, should be easy enough for you to understand then. ‍ awwww you have to walk 4 feet to refill your drink and you guzzled all four of the sauce packets and gotta ask for more wah wah wah read more

Albertaco's - # 9 Two Chicken Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

The food was ok, the service was no bueno. Our waitress wasn't very hospitable, no instruction, no smile, we had to ask twice for a soda refill. They got our drink orders wrong twice; just not a good experience. I would say she needs more training in customer service. They weren't that busy when we came in. I asked for a Diet Coke, no Coke showed up, we called her over and asked for a Diet Coke, she said "we don't have Diet Coke, we have Coke Zero." I asked her to bring me one. If she would have told me that originally she would have saved herself a second trip and gotten a better tip. read more

Asked for carne asada super nachos.. I got depressed nachos. Old meat w sadness. I only requested no guacamole and extra salsa sides. We received unmelted cheese w cold/ old meat and cream. I requested extra salsa... 2 red and 1 green total! I haven't came here in over 8 months in hopes it would improve but when I returned tonight it had sadly further dropped in position. If Taco Del Gordo was open longer than Albertacos, Albertacos would not be an equation. Should shut down w the food we were served. I just paid for $13 dollars of food I had to throw away instead of eating or feeding to my dog. Idk if it's night management or not, but I'm not returning! My teenage boys also refuse to eat this monstrosity called of a meal! I bought this for my son's and I to share as a late snack and play games with. read more

I opened Maps to get directions here just now and noticed the terrible reviews... and let me just say I am a crunchy chicken taco enthusiast and have tried every place here. This place is the best. I make a weird special request every time- and whether it's a delivery order or I'm getting it in store, there's never been a problem. I found a roach in my food at Arceo's at Garden of the Gods, and hair in my food at Tacos El Amigo. Never had a problem here. I recently moved here from Georgia and had to find a new go to Mexican place. This place is it. Try the crunchy chicken taco combo, you won't be disappointed. It's the best I've ever had. I can't speak for anything else, the only meat I eat is chicken. It's also a very clean store, and you can see the kitchen is clean as well. To end my rambling here, the workers I've encountered are very kind. I really hope these negative reviews aren't just competing stores... cuz some of it is straight outlandish. I've put everyone I know onto this place, as it's literally the only good place open late when you got the munchies and shit. Everyone has always been amazed when they tried it. read more

Burritos were awesome! We got the Cali, Colorado, and breakfast burrito and they were all great. Great fast service. Get a lot of bang for your buck! read more

CHICKEN BURRITO SUCKS Disappointed Ordered a chicken burrito in the drive thru window that took 10 minutes. After tipping and pay around $10, I expected a good burrito. Size was good, but once I took a bite I was not happy. It was literally ALL JUST WET BLAND CHICKEN. Nothing else in the burrito. Hot wet bland red chicken. No rice, beans, lettuce, anything. I can spend $10 at Taco Bell and have it out do this dump read more

Was craving a mexican dish super early in the morning the other week & this was the only place still open. Love how late it is available for delivery too (it was around 1am). Food was fantastic & for take out the meal size itself was fairly priced & absolutely enough to feed yourself & another! Large portion sizes & again, love the convenient hours they stay open. Fast delivery time! read more

The service was non-attentive. The food was not good. Would not return. They used French fries for potatoes. ;( read more

Great burritos!! My favorite is to get a bean and cheese, and add shredded beef and sour cream. SO good!! I also recommend the California burrito. read more

Ordered from somebody not listening. Told him three times beef taco and we got and paid for a beef tostada. Called and not happy!

Absolutely incompetent workers. I ordered a potato egg and cheese breakfast burrito with NO BACON and they put bacon on it while still writing NO BACON on the WRAPPER. Absolutely ridiculous tried to call to see if I can get a refund because I placed the order online but no answer. Don't waste your time coming to this place. read more

I'm a Mexican food junkie and I hadn't tried this place so I stopped in today. So first, the reason I hadn't tried this place is I thought that it was more of a "2 AM after the bar" type of a taco shop. The outside is kind of dingy. And I only drove through the drive-through so I can't speak for the inside decor. Turns out this taco shop is pretty similar to Monica's, Daniels, and Taco Express. It was a solid joint. It's slightly more expensive than the other three places I mentioned. I got a shredded beef taco and a Carnitas taco. These two tacos cost about a buck forty more here than they would've cost at Taco Express for similar portion sizes. What stood out to me the most was the Carnitas we're not greasy at all, and they were cut into little chunks instead of shredded. Quite tasty. I preferred the green tomatillo salsa. It had a little more kick to it. The red salsa had flavor, but not really spice. So the big question that I ask myself: if all four of these taco joints were lined up next to each other which one would I go into? I didn't think Albertaco's distinguished itself enough in quality to make me pick it. Taco Express is super tasty and it would be my favorite if it wasn't so incredibly greasy. Monica's and Daniels are a tossup for me. The portion sizes are a little smaller, but the food at both places is equally yummy. read more

My husband and I frequent this location. Just make sure to confirm you're getting a carne asada burrito. The younger gal who takes the orders tends to give you breakfast burritos instead. read more

I've left like 2 reviews ever in my 33 years of life, but felt compelled to warn others to stay away. This place is ass. Food quality is that of a tuna fish packet from the grocery store. Receives 2 stars because it's the only place open super late so there's a very small plus, but honestly do yourself a favor and cook at home or just go to bed, wake up and go to T Byrds or Dos Santos the next day. You're welcome. read more

The customer service is by far worse than I've EVER experienced in my life.... The lady working the counter last night 01/30 was the rudest person I've ever dealt with and I ended up leaving and took my money else where. I get people are short staffed and stressed out but to treat people like this is ridiculous. read more

I can't give negative reviews, so this is getting a 1 star. This place is filthy, and the food is absolutely disgusting. I don't understand the higher reviews, but I can only guess it depends on the location. We live near the Albertaco's on Hwy 85 in Fountain, CO. I've tried to give it a shot, but between the horrible quality and filth, this place, in my opinion, needs to be shut down. read more

absolutely horrible food. It's smells like bad fish. I threw it all away. Im still rinsing to get the taste out. What the heck is going on here.? Paid for guacamole but nope wasn't included. My dog wouldn't even eat it! read more

Foods good! Customer service sucks! The girl who works the drive through is awful! She actually huffed when we were ordering.

I paid $4 for extra bacon because they always put like 5 one inch pieces. So I was expecting double since I paid for extra but I still got the same ole baconless. Called to let them know and they're voiding the transaction so that was nice read more

Thank God for late night goodness!! Fresh and delicious. Service with a smile no matter what hour it is. Comida Corrida a su gusto!

My roommate and I made the spontaneous decision to go here one night and didn't know what to order at first. When we pulled up to the drive thru speaker box, no one asked for our order so I just pulled up to the window after waiting awhile. We asked just for chips and queso but the lady said the only have cold shredded cheese that they put on top so we opted for chips and guacamole. It was good and fairly priced. read more

I moved here from San Diego back in 2019, and grew up going to the Albertacos in Vista,CA! I literally screamed when I saw you guys were here too! My Californian heart was so full when I saw real Cali Mexican food in Colorado! I live in Pueblo but will make that hour drive just for this place! The food legit tastes the exact same as I remember from back home! Definitely takes me back to childhood! read more

I'm from SF California, and this was the closest thing to a taqueria in half moon bay i can ive ever had. i loved every bite. plus - THE BEST CHURROS EVER!! read more

Heard about this place when we were looking for a late night snack. We went through the drive-thru but no one took our order. So when we got to the window we went ahead and ordered there. I wanted chips and queso but they only had chips with shredded cheese (not even melted??) so instead we ordered chips and guacamole. For some reason they gave us cheese on top too. Surprisingly it was super good. read more

Like every other Mexican spot I try, I judge it based on the rice and beans. The beans and rice here?! On point! I legit thought I was eating my own rice and my fiancé also said the same. I got a taco combo and loved the fact that they loaded on the beans. I never like to try fast food enchiladas but I would be willing to try them now. This place reminds me of the many Cali Albertacos chains and gets points for being open 24 hours for those late night cravings. read more

Best breakfast burrito anywhere. We moved out of the area a few years go, but we make it a point to stop here for the breakfast burritos everytime we are back in town at least once. I dream about their red sauce, too bad they don't bottle and sell it (or maybe not since I would have to throw away all of my clothes so I could fill my suitcase with it). This location has had a remodel since we last visited too, so it's less sketchy inside than I remember. If burritos aren't your thing, I'd also recommend their tacos since they make the shells in house. They are fresh fried and full of deliciousness. read more

Really unorganized ! They do not seem to care about there in store order ! Will make 10 orders of drive thru before they even look at making ur order ! Manager rude read more

Our experience with Albertaco's was terrible! For starters, our food tasted like pure marijuana. It tasted like they were hot boxing the restaurant. Second of all, all of our food was cold. We had ordered using DoorDash and were extremely disappointed. Third of all, we've asked them specifically not to add Guacamole, and they didn't listen at all. Prices are expensive as well, would not recommend at all. Save your money. read more

Albertaco's - Torta Guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Has a drive thru, it was yummy! But most importantly (for me) they have the REAL kind of shrimp burritos, the ones like home in San Diego, or ar least the closest I've found. Most places I've asked have a tomato based shrimp burrito, in a tomato sauce. This one has tartar sauce(!), cabbage, pico, and shrimp. Very good! I think next time I'd ask for more sauce but I'm SO happy. read more
