Drove an hour just to come get my shrimp burrito! Never disappoints. Got a carnitas taco thinking it'd be small as an appetizer and it was huge and delicious! I don't mind going out of my way just to have my shrimp burrito every once and a while. read more

Alberto's - ordered a burrito & got a quesadilla instead... - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

I love their California burritos and their super fries but something has been sketchy the past few times I've been going. I go to this location quite a lot since I live close by and I can't help but feel like I get judged and taken advantage of each time I go. Every time I pull up by the window, I get these looks of like "why are you here" and I believe they have been overcharging me for my orders since the "tax" seems to be really high. I mean, I'm Asian, but that doesn't mean I don't understand how prices work. This is so annoying, I just want to enjoy my food peacefully. read more

This albertos is probably the best one out of the bunch in this area. Some nights is better than others because of the cook. From my personal experience, the carne asada is a little dry here. After time, i just leaned over to getting carnitas from this place. The staff here is decent, u ask for as much sauce as u need and they will provide. The taquitos here are amazing!! u gotta eat it right as your leaving though, once the sogginess of guacamole kicks in, thats when a good order has gone bad. Overall this place is ok.the taquitos are bomb yet the burrito knocks a few stars off. i come here all the time because its like 3minutes from my house. and open 24/7. Let me know. read more

Alberto's - albertos at night - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

I want to talk to the owner the taquitos made me sick last night early this morning and your employee was very rude and unprofessional. I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito cut in half and it had raw fries in it which I did not order and it was not cut in half. The total was $13.98 for three taquitos with gauc and cheese and a chorizo breakfast burrito. It did not add up even with tax I was over charged for food poisoning and I had to drive back to get my money back. The guy was angry that I wanted my money back he didn't even want to hear me explain. I want to make sure that this doesn't happen to someone else like a mixed race person like me. I feel like I was racially profiled like I have been my whole life. He argued with me and was even telling other customers about it. It was very unprofessional. I think the taquitos were cold in the middle I thought it was the guacamole but now that I have food poisoning I know that is not the case. I am very upset and hurt by the way he made me feel bad for eating the taquitos and he told me I should pay for them but I was very hungry but was upset when I opened the burrito to find that there was undercooked frys in the breakfast burrito which I didn't order but aren't they supposed to be potatoes in the breakfast burritos not frys. This was my first and last time here I am outraged how upset this made me what horrible drive thru attendant and cooks. I have to explain because he was trying to make me look bad. When he was big time in the wrong no one deserves this feeling I don't have much money and ur menu needs to be updated online the photo prices are very misleading for someone on a tight budget I normally would even tip but not for a first visit which definitely will be the first and last. I'm pretty sure as well during COVID 19 you are not supposed to take the customers food back but he did and than came out to yell at me about eating the taquitos and that I should pay for the food poisoning it gave me. This happened around 4:30 am and I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else because I feel sick and upset happy day. I'm so sick! read more

Food was terrible. Cold and tasteless. Won't be going back. I hope others find it more appealing. One of the worst restaurants I have ever been too. read more

I got 5mini taco, they were freshly made meat, unburnt. Tasted very yummy with the sauce and pina drink. Ate all the food, no pic.

Best albertos there is! Always come for the chorizo breakfast burritos and super nachos and just about everything else. Must try

I love how this place is open 24/7! I respect their work ethics and i am amazed how they always wow me with their food. My only compliant is that the long line on Saturday nights but other than that, I recommend this place! read more

The food is great here, but the service isn't. I have had a few issues with two different women running the registers because of their rudeness. They always mess up my order, but when they're not there everything goes great. I do enjoy the food here, just not the two women who work there. Today, my grandma ordered food here and a drink with no ice. When the cashier handed the drink, my grandma asked if it had ice and she said yes. My grandma told her that she wanted no ice so the lady took it back and rolling her eyes scoffing at my grandma. The woman then rudely pushes the food to my older brother, who was in the driver's seat. To top it off, she huffed in annoyance when my grandma asked for red sauce. When my older brother tried asking for her name, she ignored him and shoved the receipts at us. read more

I don't do reviews but this place has really done it this time. First the food can taste like a good number of people hate their job because you can definitely taste it. Stale fries most of the time and they can be skimping out on the ingredients. I am a Vegetarian, so I'll get items just leave out the dead animal please, is it that damn hard?! Apparently so (eye roll) not only do you have to wait at the drive thru for what can be forever at times just to get home and be completely unhappy when a massive dumb mistake that's not hard to understand is made. How hard is it to not add meat? Ordered Super fries and specifically said no meat please. Got home and opened the container to reveal it's filled with a cooked dead cow...like, are you guys Mental? And times before they'll barely give any beans, guacamole and cheese even after asking for no meat you'd think they'd fill in that blank. I've given chances and I'm fed up with this establishment. I had to go all the way back to give back their ridiculous irresponsibility and ask for my money back instead, unbelievable!! The only crew I can give a genuine thank you and hope for, and has given a positive experience is the early am crew. It's the 4am crew, that's when the food taste fresh and happy to be made for your without skimping out. Other then that this place is a joke. Don't waste your hard earned money here. read more

Let me start off by stating that if you want good tasting Mexican fast food these type of restaurants usually do pretty well. But this specific one has the absolute rudest staff ever. Every time I come here I get "mad" looks and a horrible tone from the employees there regardless who it is I ALWAYS get horrible customer service. Even through the drive through they treat you with disrespect. I took my girlfriend through the drive through and the gentleman taking her order literally scoffed at what she ordered. Absolutely disrespectful. I go an extra 2 miles to just not give this place my business. read more

The food is great but I don't know what worse their spanish or their english. Tell them you order in spanish they get it wrong. Tell them your order in English they get it wrong. The cooks is the back look confused about the orders they receive. But when they do get it right it's good. read more

The burritos are huge. As far as quality I am a fan but I liked the mi terra burrito combo at alfredos (used to be across the street) better than the shrimp burrito here. That thing had steak,shrimp,rice,cheese it was soooo good.albertos shrimp burrito is bigger but just average taste wise. I also didn't like having cilantro stems in the burrito. At least went at a good time no long line or wait at the drive thru. Was in and out. Overall don't know if I'll come again it was all just average(food,service,selection). read more

Alberto's - Wet shrimp burrito almost as long as my forearm dayumm - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

Waited in the drive thur for 40mins for them to completely get my order incorrect! The tortillas they used on my carnitas tacos was disgusting and the carnitas was even worse. I've lived down the street from this place for five years... tried it once when I moved here and it wasn't great.... Decided to give it another shot and it's HORRIBLE!!! Don't waste your time or your money..... I'd rather have King Taco read more

The only thing they are good for is their asada fries my bf and I got a burrito and wet burritos and all they had were meat, pico de galllo and guacamole inside no rice or beans. Most burritos we have had came with rice and beans . After this not coming back here again read more

Wednesday, January 2, 2019 Around 2 p.m. Stay away from this place at all cost. Staff here is nasty. Cook (aka supposedly the manager, lady with pony tail) sneezed all over her hand, handled money and then continue making my burrito without washing her hands. I advised her to remember to wash her hands before touching my food. Caught drive-through staff picking something out of another customers soft drink cup while waiting on my order. She was sticking her finger inside cup after handing money. This place needs to shut down ASAP!!! read more

I don't know how "authentic" carne asada fries are to Mexican culture, but I will be very happy to eat what you ordered if you're not going to. After a long, quite grueling day at work I need to reward myself. It's February, so I have long forgotten the promise to myself on New Year's to eat healthy. I WANNA BE A HEIFER, i told myself. And what better way than with a single order of carne asada fries? Oh, right, we're at Alberto's-- SUPER fries, 'scuse me. Now, be warned. This strip of Peck Blvd. is busy and unless you know what you are looking for, you might end up at another taco joint. Case in point: there is an Alfredo's right across the street from Alberto's. Don't be fooled! It's kinda tricky: ALBERTO'S - little guy holding up 3 tacos and standing still ALFREDO'S - little guy holding up 2 tacos and running. And if you think they all look the same, then you're racist-- OMGI'MKIDDING! If that doesn't work, just look for the tiny taco stand with the drive thru and nevermind the mascot signboards. One serving of Super Fries is more than enough for two people-- the fries are shoestring (I like steak cut better) and decimated by heaps of sour cream, guacamole, beans, cheese and an entire cow in the form of carne asada. Make sure you wear your loose pants for this one. And be prepared for some labored breathing, that's what happens when your heart has to catch up with your gluttony. I recommend ordering super fries if you promise to ran a few laps the following day to make up for it. Horchata will save you, it's a tad on the watered down side, but it is the only thing that can wash that all down. read more

Carne Asada fries.. The midnight snack of drunken champions.. I'm just glad I caught this place without a late night long drive thru line.. Such guilty food but I don't care, we all have to indulge ourselves every now and then right? *cricket cricket* Don't judge me and my fatass! P.S. I took a chance on a Chorizo Burrito for the first time and it was whatever really.. Yeah it was spicy and whatnot, but it really seemed to lack taste.. I guess I'll just stick to my tried and true burrito, the chicken.. read more

Always good food and interesting nights here. Fast service! Witch is dope...always busy so you know that means bomb right lol.. read more

I had their carne asada fries and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. Best late night meal for when you're looking for something slight to satisfy you. Portions are fairly large, probably serves 2 people. read more

I just bought a Carne Asada Burrito, and tasted the SAND inside of the burrito....WTH? I've experienced couple times before but didn't pay attention to it much. However, this time I can't let myself keep eating it no more because every bite, while chewing it, the sand sticks to my teeth and makes all kinds of noise....I wonder how they make their food. Did they drop my order on the floor? or did they make the their food WITH SAND? I regret i've been a loyal customer to them. For this reason, I wouldn't be going back there anymore. Warning! Don't even try any food that you have no idea what they put inside...like this time: SAND...very disappointing. read more

This is definitely the best fast food mexican joint ever! I usually get the carne asada burrito. Bomb! It's filled with lots of meat, little rice and avacado. Add a green salsa and you'll definitely say "mmm... this is fucking bomb!" You'll start craving this place, compared to others alike. They do charge an extra $.50 for people who are using credit cards, just fyi. I also sometimes get the carne asada fries. It's the second best I've ever had. I'm doing this review a day after, and man.. this is making me hungry! Anyways, don't forget to add green salsa to your food! *Better than king taco that's across the street. Their burritos have been getting smaller and smaller every year... read more

For the record, I've been going here since high school. After several nights needing to sober up, Alberto's came to the rescue. I've been here more times than I can count, and disappointingly, there may have been and instantce when I've gone like 3-4 times in a week and even worse, twice in one day. My figure has collapsed, my arteries are somewhat clogged, and I have let go of myself, so sue me. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU PROCEED: Do I want to be ridiculously stuffed today? Do I want to save money for perhaps maybe even more later? Do I want to be put into a induced food coma? Do I go with the salsa roja or the salsa verde? If you answered yes to 3 out of the 4 questions and answered salsa verde, then you want to eat at Albertos. I normally satisfy my hunger with a Carne Asada Burrito and an Extra Large Horchata to wash it down. If you ask for the Carne Asada Burrito, it's nothing but Carne Asada inside, so you can ask them to add the guacamole, sour cream, rice, and beans for little fees here and there. The last time I had Alberto's was with my bro Richie, and that was quite sometime back. But the story goes, we see Henry downing a burrito and he told us he added beans, rice, and cheese, so my boy Richie shouts out, "F, that dude, lets go get a Henry!" So thus, the Henry was born, but eventually i evolved and made the "'Mikey" with Guacamole and rice, no beans. So don't go there and order the "Henry" or the "Mikey." they will just be like, "wtf is this guy saying? pinche gringo!" The super nachos and super fries always hits the spot, those are always the classics you would order, to be honest, i don't see anybody else order anything else besides the burritos and super nachos. The breakfast burrito is kinda dope too, but for some reason, there are times during the day the food maybe spoiled, after all they are open 24/7. so be careful, so far, late night i've been good. check out their competitors, Alfredo's across the street, haha. read more

Where do I begin this Alberto's is fire the only Alberto's of The whole Sgv 626 is lit not even IE got anything on them I always go for the Super fries and now they got super fries and nachos half n half there verde green sauce is bomb af can never go wrong with it and hot af too read more

It's pointless calling to make an order if you still have to wait in in the drive through line to get your order you ordered 15 minutes ago.

WTF?!? I've never had an experience worse than this at a Mexican place and I've been from albertos to king taco to alfredo to lucky boys. order 2 small carne asada tacos, chicken buritto with Avacado, onion, and salsa. simple right? jus 2 tacos and a burrito, yet they failed on every from the meat to the bag outside. tacos: virtually all meat. about a coin quarter size of guac, onion, and cilantro. normally I wouldnt complain cuz I love meat but I mean come on. it's friggin dry as hell with just meat. not exactly carne asada if its just meat, might as well just got a beef taco. then they put it into one of those hot dog boxes(rectangle styrofoam box) and threw it in the bag standing straight up...yeah exactly...both tacos spilled all over the place. burrito: sigh, I asked them what they had in the chicken burrito and the person told me only chicken. uh, WTF? why do I need them to grab chicken and wrap it for 5 dollars? you'd think the chicken is marinade or something atleast but nope, tasted bland and dry PLUS there were hard unchewable tendons in there. tortilla were charred cancerous black in certain places. I asked for avocado, onions, and salsa but they gave so little it might as well not been in there...and it was canned tomato sauce instead of salsa -.-" they wrapped the burrito with their branded paper but somehow managed to wrap it INTO the burrito?!?! I had to unfold the burrito to get the paper out and while I was doing that I found hair inside. 2 green sauce, 1 red sauce. red sauce wasn't capped correctly an started leaking. 2 green sauces tasted like straight up jalapeno, not salty or anything. I don't understand the point to the green sauce if it's just as spicy as the red...but this was just straight spicy, no other taste. lastly since the food spilled everywhere I needed the napkins...too bad they were already dirty. there was some dry brown stuff on it that you can tell has been there for a while. food failed. service failed. hell even the condiments failed. 1 star is way too much for this place. I needa consider complaining to Environmental and Health Services Department. read more

Bad experience, food is okay but the service is horrible especially the girl working the register.

I heart albertos! 1. big portions 2. random mix of good greasy food. 3. cheap! 4. Always close to a freeway. 5. Always, funny too low gangsta OG cars to point at! good times! read more

Okay, who doesn't love Mexican food. I am OBSESSED with their carne asada fries (super fries). I also LOVE their garbage burrito it's SO GOOD!!!! I usually eat Alberto's once a month... maybe even more. The drive through is sucha breeze, the cashier is super nice each and every time and they're cool with giving extra sauce! read more

Super greasy but extra yummy mexican food! Tried their beef burrito, chicken taco, and enchiladas. Always come with sides of rice and beans. I usually bought them after coming home from my classes and don't feel like cooking. Their service is pretty fast and the staff always have a great smile on their face. Restaurants like Alberto's is the reason why it's so hard for me to lose weight. You know it's not good for you, but you just can't help it since it taste sooooo gooood. read more

Alberto's is always a hit or miss. Sometimes their food hits the spot, and other times I wonder why I chose to eat there, because the meat is so dry. My favorite, just like everyone else is the Super Fries. It's my favorite place to eat after a long drunken night. The best thing about this place, is that it's open 24 hours! If you or someone you know hasn't tried the super fries, you must go.....NOW! read more

This is not authentic Mexican food. They have a burrito filled with french fries. I love it, but again this is not authentic. Decent prices, open late and thats why we all love Albertos. Parking: In the back there are 3-5 spots. Drive through: Looks ghetto, but its fast. Tip: Ask for the pickled carrots/radish/jalapeno. They have it, but not out for you to get. This location also has some seating inside and out, no A/C. No public restroom. Food: It is alright. Good for lunch, but you'll feel the greasy/calories later. I use to come here late at night for super nachos and burrito's. I was just here recently for lunch. My friend got a a 10 taquito lunch deal with a beverage. I got a California burrito with french fries. It was extremely filling. read more

I always get the craving when I visit home and I have many fond memories of making Alberto's runs late at night. It's funny; stoners can't shut up about food when we're driving to a place but they all clam up when you're ordering. My vegetarian friend swears by their veggie burrito (much better than the Alberto's on Lower Azusa by the In&Out). Carnitas is king for me. The carnitas burrito gets nasty because all of the oil collects in the bottom of the burrito so you have to throw it away or face the consequences. But the carnitas super nachos are stellar. Once, 3 of us planned on sharing the super nachos but my buddy and I started playing some NES. After about 5 minutes, we look up and there's our other friend with a grin on his face, happy sounds coming from his throat, stuffing his mouth. Half of it was gone! I only come here at night because there are better options for Mexican food out there but if it's after midnight, and Jack in the Box doesn't sound appealing, Alberto's is the place to be. read more

This is the best fast mexican place ever!!! Their service is really good and fast! and its 24hrs!! :) There asada fries are to die for and the rest of there food is delicious as well. read more

Alberto's - Mmmm! Can't have enough of the taquitos de guacamole with rice and beans!!! BOMB!!!!!! - Mexican Near Me - El Monte, California

I'm not as crazed about Alberto's as I am about King Taco. Their meat is usually a little too overcooked for my liking. However, after El Gordito closed down, this became my torta joint. It's quick and easy to go through their drive through when the King Taco looks too packed across the street. The fact that they are open 24/7 is awesome. Whether I'm heading home after a late evening class, or half drunk and starving after some giggle time with the girls.. read more

Food is fire but every time I ask for grilled jalapeños they always say no! Lazy asses can't put some jalapeños on the grill real quick . it's not that fucking hard , I mean I pay for them read more

I love Alberto's! It's one of my favorite places to go. It's super convenient and open 24/7 so that's a huge plus. I think the only downside is it's pretty small, so the line does tend to extend out into the street. There's parking so you can order inside and eat at the bar facing the window, but you won't be able to go in because of the blockage. The food seemed a little pricey for me at first, but their portions are HUGE. I eat a lot and I couldn't even finish the burritos. They are extremely generous. My favorite things on the menu are the fish taco combo (comes w rice and beans) and the super nachos! The fries are pretty plain, there's salt but it's barely there. Their horchata and Jamaica is also great, their cup sizes are also pretty large. Most of the food is pretty decent. I've tried a lot on their menu and most of it is pretty bland, but you definitely get your money's worth in terms of portion. They also get it out to you VERY fast. Definitely give it a shot! read more

Get your grease on! This is where fat asses join forces and munch down on some fatty, lard, artery clogging goodness. What? You think these Tequitos are made with soy oil? It's lard MOFO. White pasted comes in a box like solid clay. Then it melts into hot lard. The two things I ordered here: Carne Asada burrito, $4.70, and 3 taquitos for $2.73. If you're a vegetarian this isn't a place for you. There's no salad. There's so cherry tomatoes, mixed green, bull shit. it's meat meets sauce meets grease. No I don't order these item separately silly. I ordered them at the same time, ahahahha j/k I ordered them separately never at the same time. I'd be 300 lbs if I eat regularly. I seriously think they put coke in their taquitos it's good stuff. The burrito is ridiculous. It's filled with beef and sprinkle of pico de gallo and a table spoon of guacamole. Meaty goodness. It's not dry. It's chewy because it comes from the cow's shoulder which is a tougher meat. So my guess is they roasted the entire cow's shoulder, diced it, and when customer ordered it they take three kitchen spoons of diced meat and pan fried on the flat iron skillet. It's not wrapped with flour tortilla. It's something else more gluten texture I wish I know it tasted very similar to something I had on the street of Thailland. They would pan fried these and drizzled condense milk then roll it up... good stuff. The taquitos were deep fried, obviously... But I love the chunk of guacamole and tons of cheese on top. Yeah! You can't be eating this like once a week like me unless you do P90X. This stuff will slow you down. Excellent value. For you to make either a burrito or a taquitos at home it's going to cost your more time and money Why bother shopping when Albertos is wiling to make fifty cents from $1.50 investment. The founder is smart in that he's willing to sell more quantity then quality to get his customers. It works. Recaps: Big burrito for $4.70 3 taquitos with fresh guacamole and cheese, $2.73 and if you want diabetes in your 50s don't forget to get their Horcheta so good. Excellent value for your dollars Service is good. I like the guy there he's friendly. They have red and green sauce as well. It's not as good as King Taco but sometimes you get bored so it's good to have options. Yes, life is about having options! read more

I want to update this review, but it's been over 3 years and I haven't been back. If you're in the neighborhood during the day, I'd recommend skipping this place and driving up Peck a few miles and visit the food truck in the LKQ Pick a Part parking lot. Much better food and friendlier. Might not be the best place to take a date. read more
