my mixed review is based on the dryness of their meat! perhaps i went at a bad time, but i ordered four types of meat: carne asada, pollo asado, carne asada, & adobada (but they were kind enough not to correct my butchered pronunciation of the last one). no tenderness noted at all. sigh. however, i will give this place another shot since they just opened this week. . like in a month or two. plus tacos are kind of like sex--even when it's bad, it's still kind of good. read more

I'm so torn right now the food was good but the order was wrong : ( A few co-workers went to pick up lunch and when they got back they realized that they had been given someone else's order. This is a new business, just opened yesterday I believe, and from what the co-workers said it was soooo busy. Even though we didn't get what was ordered, the food was amazing, next time I'll just be sure to check before I leave to make sure the order is correct. The original order was: Carne asada torta Two orders of Carne asada fries California burrito Steak burrito Three horchatas What was actually received: Two carne asada tortas Two orders of rolled tacos Three horchatas I ate an order of rolled tacos, which were really great (piled high with guac, sour cream and cheese). One co-worker got the correct order (carne asada torta) and said it was really good. Another co-worker ate a torta and also said it was amazing, but wishes that he would have been able to try the Cali burrito like he ordered. Last co-worker ended up with the other order of rolled tacos and enjoyed them, and is planning on going back to try the burrito that she didn't get. I'm hoping to go check it out again once the crowds diminish a bit and they can work the kinks out. read more

WOW! This place is great! I often get their carne asada fries which are absolutely incredible (but you should probably share if you aren't a big eater!) and the tacos are also amazing. Tons of cilantro and onions-- yum! read more

Albertacos - Carne asada fries with no sour cream - Mexican Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

We've been here before - the food is pretty decent for fast food. What's not decent is that the cashier didn't have his mask on when we got to the drive-thru window this past Saturday. When he saw my horrified look from the passenger seat, perhaps that prompted him. He put his mask on but only covered his mouth, not his nose. He took my husband's credit card, went away, and came back to the window. My husband asked him a question about our order, and the cashier PULLED HIS MASK BELOW HIS MOUTH TO RESPOND. Are you freaking kidding me?! A couple minutes later, when he brought our food to the window, he again wasn't wearing his mask. Moral of the story: don't eat here when there's a global pandemic. Or maybe ever. read more

Worth the wait. Absolutely phenomenal food. Carne Asada fries were incredible (even hours after ordered and cold!) according to my roommate. The service is very good especially when you take into account how busy it's been. Food was served quickly and correctly, I will be back... again... and again... and a few more times at least! Great job. read more

This used to be a KFC I believe, but now it is so much better in my opinion! I have ordered from this place at least 3 times in a week. Albertacos has wonderful burritos, salsa, & horchata (*^‿^*) read more

Has a wait but never felt things weren't moving along. The carne asada fries are worth the money and probably my favorite asada in the valley. I was able to have the chicken chimichanga thanks to my boss buying us lunch and it did not disappoint. The chicken was not the typical shredded chicken but rather grilled whole chicken chopped up into pieces with a nice red sauce on top. The burrito was crunchy even after being picked up and not being eaten over 20 min after it was cooked. read more

The first time I went here I got the Vista California burrito and the fries were completely raw in the inside. I went back because it was still a good burrito. Now every time I go the fries in the burrito are perfect and it's a perfect place. One thing, if someone asks for no cheese, make something without cheese don't just pick the cheese off of a taco cause you're too lazy to make a new taco- my sister came here with me once and she got a taco with no cheese, she ate it without thinking and there was cheese bits on it and she got really sick. So basically, if you don't have allergies go here, if you do, I wouldn't risk it. read more

Best Mexican food in town; rolled tacos are amazing. They also offer coke in a bottle.

This is my favorite restaurant by far!! Always super quick and amazing! My wife and I always get the carne asada tacos, carne asada burrito and chicken chimichanga and they never disappoint. If you are kinda on a budget but want some awesome food, go here. Definitely 5 stars from this guy! :) read more

Very impressive. Clean, great staff, amazing burritos. You can't say enough about the quality of ingredients and the amazing tortillas. They're beautiful, soft, well made. Exceptional. Definitely one of the best lunch spots in Ridgecrest. read more

The best carne asada burrito in Kern County is in Ridgecrest! Stopped by Albertacos after work last night needing some food for the 2 hour drive home. What a great surprise! The burrito was delicious and made the way I am used to growing up in Southern California. The staff was fast, friendly, and efficient. I will definitely return! read more

They have really good options. I went through the drive-through. And they looked very clean inside. Service is fast. I've tried their enchiladas and tacos. They are both pretty decent. I really like the rice and beans the best. Lol oh and the Horchata is amazing read more

Fantastic food at this little unassuming Mexican place -- super fresh, made to order, and well priced. They even have a drive-thru! Highly Recommend. read more

I've eaten at this chain before and wasn't a fan. This time it wasn't any different. Terrible food!

It was great in the beginning but the last few times I've gone, the hot sauce has been watered down. It will be a good long while before I think of trying it again because this type of mex is pointless to eat without hot sauce. Their spicy carrots are still pretty good though. read more

Great food. With a variety of salsa selection. Clean and friendly. The shrimp burrito was what I hoped for.

Evertime I've asked for a specific item on a burrito they've always hooked it up! The ADOBADA is on point! Good service and fast. Keep up the good work! read more

Never again! They actually were able to make Asada Fries terrible by being lazy and simply putting some meat and fixin's on cold fries. Asada burrito was just OK...Bernardinos is much better. There is just no excuse for not serving hot food. read more

I went for a breakfast burrito. It was a burrito in the sense that it was wrapped in tortilla, but was not filled with breakfast! There was maybe 1 egg, a little cheese, a sprinkling of ham, and loaded with fries. Tons of fries. It was a french fry burrito with some breakfast flavor. Very disappointing. read more

Super good food here, only thing is the burritos are a little smaller than I would like but they are very good. my favorite burrito in Ridgecrest. There super hot sauce is very very good, if you like spicy sauces give it a try. read more

Amazing. My family and I LOVE Albertacos . So authentic and made with love. Best Mexican food we have had ( and we are obsessed with Mexican food). Thank you for coming to Ridgecrest . We dream about their burritos . read more

Very nice staff and delicious. I don't know what they do with their burrito shells, but I honestly haven't had a better burrito?!?!

Burritos are great, mission viejo and carne asada fries are not going to let you down. We discovered the Chile Verde plate by walking in... a must try read more

Excellent!! I had the Shrimp Burrito it was amazing!! I can't wait to try everything that's on their menu!! read more

See all

I'm from San Diego and this has to be the closest place to a real southern cali taco shop. Everything on the menu is good. The burritos are awesome! It's basically just meat and guac, some people might not like that but that's what taco shop burritos are like in SD. Carne asada fries and the wa quesadillas are good too. The tortas could be better. Only taco shop I go to in town now =] read more

This little restaurant opened couple months back and it is still my #1 Mexican food go to! We have a lot of Meixcan food restaurants here and this tops them all. Yes I know some dishes are maybe better at different restaurants, however I have not had a bad experience here yet. Their meat is always seasoned perfectly and their food is always tasting fresh and mouth watering. Their horchata is the bet in town! I promise you, you will not be disappointed (unless your taste buds are not working properly). :) read more

Had to be in Ridgecrest for the day from the San Diego area. Stopped and ordered the Adobado burrito which was awesome. Great flavor, fresh pico de gallo and no skimp on the guacamole! 10 out of 10 read more

During COVID-19 this became a standard lunch stop. The last 4 orders were wrong. We had missing food (forgot to put it in our bag), cold food (asada was cold in burrito, they did not even warm it up), requested chips with nothing on them, side of salsa, received chips with Pico de gallo, making chips soggy, and I ordered 2 beef enchiladas and 1 of them had no meat (only onions and peppers) and the 2nd one had 1/3 meat - complete disappointment. Most recent experience was a machaca burrito that ended up giving my husband mild to moderate food poisoning. It's a shame because when they first opened food was wonderful, now it is mediocre. Will find new place to eat. read more

3rd time trying this place. Can never seem to get what I want. Always hard in hearing. Buritos over kill of beans an rice barely meat.

Horrible service. Four out of the last four times I have ordered food they got it wrong. I hate cilantro and asked politely for it not be included. You have ruined my food and I will never eat there again. read more

This drive through Mexican food venue is amazingly good. I wasn't happy about Ridgecrest getting yet another Mexican restaurant, because we have so many! However this one needs to stay & others need to go! This place is authentic! I ordered the mini street tacos and a burrito California style, held the french fries out of it and everything was delicious! We will be returning! I only wish they had a printed menu to choose from so that it makes ordering faster. Lines are long which only means that their food is awesome! It would be wonderful if they would include some desserts on their menu and everything would be complete! We shall return! read more

The food is ok but it's not authentic Mexican food, the place smelled like a rotting corpse, it was so bad I could not order from there and it was my first time going inside. All these good reviews are from people who never entered the restaurant. read more

We ate there for the first time I had the Carna Asada plate it was alot of food. But the Carna Asada was the worst I ever had.. I couldn't cut it with the plastic knife given to me, the color of the meat was weird but the flavor was nothing, yeah nothing. The flour tortilla had more flavor then the meat. So my wife says add the salsa to the meat, their salsa bar had 4 types of salsa. All of them tasted terrible. I wanted to return the meal for something else but my wife was too embarrassed for me to. The beans were good tho. read more

I had a California burrito and it was okay..compared to bernardinos and Cocina caliente ive had better. But it wasn't too shabby, could be better though read more

I've had better, but great staff. Will try one more time. Right off china lake blvd, quick and fast. The portions are quite bigger than i expected though. No beer. read more

Great fast Mexican. Had carne Asada burrito that was excellent. Lots of sauces to compliment burrito. Service price and cleanliness were great. read more

The girl at the window was pretty rude. The food is nothing special to be honest. It's not bad just boring. The salsa is runny and bland. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito and wanted it wet, however I quickly changed that when I found out getting the red sauce on top is $2.00 more which is ridiculous in my opinion. Won't be coming back. I'll stick to take out at casa corona. read more

This has been one of my favourite restaurants since I lived in Mission Viejo. They have incredible food and a great atmosphere! Definitely have their Carne Asada Fries, they are to die for!! read more

Chorizo and egg burrito is off the hook! Beef chorizo, with sautéed onions, scrambled with eggs. Weighed about a pound. Fantastic! My first time here, I will definitely be back, and I will bring my family! And the young man who took my order, was very friendly and very professional! Plenty of napkins, and two kinds of salsa without even having to ask. Homerun baby! read more
