I am happy I found this little Mexican spot just a second south of the center of downtown on Calhoun. It doesn't look super inviting, but don't let that scare you away. The inside is nicer than you think when approaching the front doors. So far I have tried the chimichanga with chicken and beef, and the fajita quesadilla- both lunch specials and super CHEAP. Every time I have ate here it has been a few dollars cheaper than other Mexican joints around town...score! No one likes to spend a lot on lunch. The chicken wasn't spetacular (I usually prefer steak but that is not an option for most lunch specials). Portions are large. Their chips and salsa are some of my favs. The chips are thick with a strong crunch. Never too salty. Their house salsa is pretty mild but if you ask they have a smokey-hot red salsa and verde.....too die for! Service is "eh". I respect establishments that don't have a million servers on the floor but sometimes I think it is only one lady running around all lunch, which results in empty water glasses and long wait on bills. Oh, and I just realized on my last visit that they have $2.95 house margaritas. HELLO MARGARITA MONDAY. read more

Alberto's has some of the best flavor combinations on Mexican food in the city The only thing they have to work on is service. Outside of that the ambiance is amazing giving authentic Mexican experience read more

Alberto, you did it again! Amazing food every time. Keep up the good work!!! I will love this place forever and ever. I live 20 minutes away, but I make the trip because it is sooo worth it. read more

Whatever Alberto's lacks in atmosphere, they clearly compensate for it with the flavor punch. The chips are fresh and crispy, the salsa is a perfect homemade blend full of flavor. The tortas or tacos are equally unmatched with authentic flavor and meaty goodness. The staff may be a bit standoffish, but the food is straight up good. It's seasoned, tender, and excellent. The prices are reasonable and the food makes you want to keep coming back. read more

Alberto's Mexican Grill - Tacos de pastor and asada - Mexican Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

I was hopeful when we happened upon this place. I always say that an ethnic food restuarant filled with people of it's wone ethnicity is a sure win. Not so much with this place. The guacamole tasted too lemony, which means they don't make it fresh and douse it in lemon to keep it from turning brown. I love love love verde enchiladas. When I make them at home, I always do verde, so naturally, that's what I ordered. The verde was more sour for my liking. I also ordered one taco ala carte because I love a taco. I took one bite and the tortilla split right down the middle and could no longer be consumed like a taco. Service was slooooow. Not bad. The server was very nice and accommodating, just slow to get our food. I say skip Alberto's and go straight to Salsa Grille inside George's International Market on Broadway instead. You will be glad you did! read more

Best tacos in fort wayne. best spanish rice i've ever had (don't tell my grandma). enough said

I've never experience more trash experience in my life. I was in line waiting for a table and the wait staff allowed several people to cut us in line. The waitress kept avoiding me and had I not followed her around the restaurant we would've been waiting there all night. Will never be back. DO NOT COME HERE. You want late night food? Go to Taco Bell. read more

Ssssllloowww service. Queso dip was delish! Chicken tortilla soup was AWESOME! Margaritas were pretty good. Daquiri was super sweet. Would return for both food items if I had the time and patience to deal with the extremely slow service. read more

Horrible service . Try to call to place a carry out order and nobody answer . I drove to the restaurant and they told me they purposely disconnect the phone when they are busy .Waited 30 minutes for my order. They asked me what order I was waiting for 10 mins later and nothing . The cooks forgot to make it until the manager went back there to tell them again . I got home and realize they forgot my horchata and had to go back there and wait again to get them . read more

This is going to be a short review, since I never received my food. Wednesday evening, short line of people waiting for carry out. Dining room was half full. Waitress seated us in about ten minutes. She took our order right away and brought us our chips and drinks very promptly. And then she disappeared- for 2 hours. We sat and watched table after table leave because they were never served. We finally gave up, too. I counted at least 4 waitresses on the floor, not one of which checked on us, apologized for the wait, or even offered an explanation. The worst customer service I have ever seen. read more

The food is always amazing but the service is terrible. We always call ahead when wanting to order and will call about 6 times within an hour thinking maybe they're busy. We end up just driving there and figuring we'll place an order there just to find out their phone is on silent and they don't answer any calls. Absolutely ridiculous! They used to answer and always had our food ready on time, now you can never get them on the phone. read more

They customer service sucks! Can't believe they would call me 4 hrs after I've waited 30 mins inside the restaurant for a greet never happen, and will never return. read more

Alberto's Mexican Grill - They SUCK! - Mexican Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

They have very good food but the service has something to be desired. It's difficult for them to keep up with the demand of carry out & call ins. Calling ahead doesn't expedite your order at all. You still have to wait a significant amount of time when you go to pick it up. read more

Love their food! I always look forward to their salsa when I am in FW. Friendly service, but was definitely short staffed last night. I popped in to order chips and salsa to go. After waiting over 10 minutes I realized that I was going to be waiting as long as those waiting for meals. I unfortunately had to leave because I was going to be late to a gathering (of which I promised to bring chips and salsa). I hope to return again soon to improved service because I would hate to see this place lose business. read more

I have eaten here several times, and every time is very good. The service is outstanding and the food is tasty for a very reasonable price. read more

I am pretty picky, especially when it comes to Mexican food, but this place was pretty good. I ordered a veggie burrito. The flavor was good. However, I really wish the mushrooms in the burrito were fresh and not canned. Yuck. I picked out what I could and the rest was really good. The queso had good flavor. My favorite thing was the chips and salsa. The salsa tastes very fresh and I could have eaten it with a spoon! My meat-eating boyfriend and parents ordered a chicken quesadilla, ground beef enchiladas, and a ground beef burrito. They were all quite pleased with their food. Overall, I was very happy with my experience at Alberto's and would definitely go back...especially to try a margarita! read more

The food was good, don't get me wrong no complaints for what I wanted... but the service here is TERRIBLE I sat with an empty glass for 10 minutes and instead of asking if I'd like a refill she asked if we were ready for our checks... I am it satisfied with the service read more

Not from the area, reviews looked good so we gave it a try. So glad we did! Service was good. Food was excellent, not one complaint. Reasonable prices, especially on the house margaritas. I got two twelve once house margaritas on the rocks, $2.95 a piece. They were a little weak for my taste, so I ordered a shot of house tequila for each, $2 a piece. Only complaint is it was very loud. No music playing so everyone's conversations were bouncing off the walls. read more

First red flag I get there only to stand waiting for 5 minutes until someone seats us when it wasn't even busy. We get our table which was dirty, order our drinks (ice tea) which sucked, ordered something else. The chips were cold, the food sucked and when it came time to pay our bill they go in the back so you can't see what they are doIng. Didn't like that at all! This isn't Mexican food!! Don't go here! read more

Leaving 2 stars based on the food today. Usually, when made right it is great and I'm always pleased. However, lately the customer service has taken a turn for the worst. Just today I came to order food to go. I was overcharged the first ticket order. When I asked to lady to fix the issue,she did and Brought back the new ticket. She then proceeded to hover over me wanting me to pay without having my food done. Being that this establishment is final sale I prefer to look at my food first before paying. I have done this in the past with Alberto's with no complaints. So I was unsure as to why the waitress was hovering and being overbearing about paying that instant. Funny thing is last time I went there I sat waiting almost over an hour as others came ate or picked up orders and left, as the last person waiting and seeing servers cleaning to close I asked did my food get passed over and they said it's still my food is almost done (4 steak tacos). All to be totally wrong. Long story short. Today felt if not the same, worse. I'd recommend any other place that will be timely and respectful. We a customers don't have to be treated poorly. read more

Great tasting food, great service and the best strawberry daiquiris in town!!

Came into town looking for a place to eat found Alberto's and found a place for delicious Mexican food. The fajitas were the best we've ever had and we've had a ton. Quick friendly service. We highly recommend this place! read more

It was cheap. . . . . Hold on I am sure I can think of something else positive to say. . . . It was cheap and didn't taste horrible. Was that positive? Forget it, go to Cebollas instead! read more

Most authentic Mexican food ! Don't go to any other place other than this one ! Maria and Nina are the best servers there and they are both super nice and super fast ! Place is also very very clean and the food is delicious! read more

Good quality and flavor for a fraction of the cost if chain restaurants. Get the guacamole.

Initially, I was very excited to eat here. When we came in and ordered, I wanted to get the pollo con papilla. The waitress told me it would be a 40 minute wait so I ordered the chorizo quesadillas instead. Then, the waitress comes out and tells us that they are out of chorizo, so I just got regular quesadilla with beef. Very disappointed. The food was flavorful though. read more

We really like this place! The carne asada is great. And the beans do not come out of a can. We go somewhat out of our way for a visit to Alberto's. The noise level can be deafening, however. If there are too many people the sound bounces off every surface and it is difficult to hear conversation. So just eat already. read more

Amazing tacos, nothing skimpy about these guys! If you're looking for a more Authentic flavor, check this place out.

We have been dining at Alberto's for years. The salsa is excellent and the alambres is the best! The atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired, but the food makes up for it! read more

This is the first food/restaurant review I'm leaving and only doing so because that's how great the food was! I do feel the service was a little slow but could tell it was due to not many servers on hand. The food was great and very cheap. The food and price is definitely worth a try for those who enjoy authentic mexican food. We will be returning very soon! read more

My daughter and I have eatened there many times in several years. In January 2019 we came in about 6:15 p.m.. I always get the shredded roast beef burrito supreme. This one particular evening I noticed my burrito didn't taste quite right, but I thought it might be a change in seasoning or sauce. Once I had reached the center of the burrito I found that the meat was turning bad. I realize that it looks like I was trying to eat a partial meal and not pay my bill, and if this had been my first time there instead of my 20th. or 30th. in several years. I could understand that line of thinking. However, I asked for a refund, and the waitress returned to tell me that the chef had stated he had been using that roast beef all day, and there had been no other issue. Imagine, is he saying he had one roast beef for the day? So, I paid my bill, and have not returned. Sadly, I don't understand a Restaurant willing to loose a returning customer over one meal. read more

Loved this restaurant, fast service & very nice waitresses. The chips and salsa was given as soon as possible & this may sound silly but EVERYTIME I'm at restaurants they always forget my lemon in my water but at Alberto's they never forgot it! (For the three times I've been here). The food they give is hot (you can tell it was made fresh) & the portion size is bigger than any other Mexican restaurant I've been too. I always leave the restaurant very full!! I'm a very picky person and I love Alberto's. I always get the Salsa Verde chicken enchiladas! Almost close to what my close friend's aunt's chicken enchiladas. read more
