    Food is gas but customer service... Bro the food is so good but they HAVE to get some W cashiers. This girl looked at my like I hit my abuela, didn't say hi, and was kinda rude. Food was so good tho lmao

    Carne asada plate

    This place was pretty decent for food on the road for work. I ended up popping in a couple times for different meals while traveling. There is a drive through which was excellent because after working 12-15 hr days I didn't want to go in, or sit down anywhere besides my hotel room. First meal was asada plate second meal was a steak burrito. 1) on the plate they literally had warm homemade flour tortillas wrapped on the side. I wish they were corn cuz I was so surprised on the quality. It's what made me want to try another menu item. It was hardy and it came with rice and beans too. Decent portions for the price. Id request corn tortillas and pay extra if needed next time. 2) the burrito. I'm trippin on the burrito. Like I read it comes with pico and guac. But I didn't realize THATS ALL IT COMES WITH. LOL!! I asked for no pico cuz they had decent verde salsa and was going to go nuts on that. I ended up with a flour tortilla with meat and guac. Nothin else. I'm used to beans and rice in a regular (non upgraded) burrito. I would definitely pay extra to have it be a standard burrito and add cheese. But that aside, still damn good. Id definitely come back. Not the best Mexican (steak is a little under seasoned) but it was fresh and great portions for the price. Way better than chain drive through options. Shout out to the staff for being helpful and giving extra salsa. Needs salsa for every bite. lol

    Super tasty authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices. Inside was very clean and staff was friendly. we came during breakfast time but the whole menu was available. Would go back!

    #1 Chicken Fajitas
    Pete R.

    Fast Food at its best. I was really craving Mexican food and I stopped here at Alberto's. I had never been and when you walk in it looks like a Taco Bell but the food is exceptionally better FOOD: I was by myself and I ordered the Chicken Fajitas. I forgot to ask for corn tortillas and was served flour but they seemed like freshly made flour tortillas. The chicken was super flavorful and the veggies fresh. Atmosphere: like I said it had a kind of Taco Bell or fast food feel but don't let that stop you. The food was really good. Service: typical fast food service style. It would help the atmosphere if the crew made you feel like you were in an authentic Mexican restaurant. Tip: leave your expectations at home and enjoy some great food at a low cost. My fajitas, chips and salsa and a Horchata, was $18

    So good food, at a good price, with fast and good service. Hard to beat. It's hard to find a Mexican place not charging $20 for a burrito, luckily Alberto's is not. The food is good too, and we must have had all of it within 5 mins to be honest. Menu variation was good, prices were very fair. Seating was generous, clean and plenty. I'll come back.

    Fish tacos, chimichanga, & side of rice
    Val R.

    Wow. Very impressed. Food came out super fast. Everything was fresh & hot. Side of rice was very decently sized. Portions were good. Staff was friendly. Would've liked more sauce options, but it was still a great experience. I will definitely be back.

    Delicious for a Mexican place in the state of Utah Salt Lake City. Ate here twice on my business trip.

    Coming from Los Angeles it is baffling to me how this place can get such good feedback. After 15 years this place has not improved one bit. Food is bland... I mean no taste at all, salsas are just water with a mild taste of cilantro or chili... almost not flavor. I understand they cater to people that don't eat spicy, but that's no excuse not to have at least one spicy salsa and better tasting dishes. Service: The young woman that served us came across as though we were annoying her by just asking literally 2 questions about the menu. She was very rude and her body language implied "Are you leaving yet " very rude vibes. Her attitude revealed itself the moment I asked her ( She's Hispanic) in Spanish if she had breakfast plates. So I switched to English as I noticed from her expression that she very much disliked me speaking in the language she's probably spoken all her life at home ( Spanish) but that she wants to forget to convince everyone around her she's an American. I heard her speak Spanish to a co-worker. This is a common issue with some of my fellow Hispanics that are raised or born here as I was... they think that by hiding the fact they speak Spanish it will somehow make them feel more accepted by non Spanish people... It's a shame, the place is very clean, the other workers seemed nice. But yes the steak, beans, tortillas, had no flavor, nothing special like say Sonoratown or Mexicali Taco and Company. It's a shame, if they used their resources to make decent food with the prices they charge and if they got less rude people as cashiers they'd be packed everyday. Prices are just as high as places like high end taquerias in Los Angeles. Unless they change things I am sure I won't be the only one not returning. I've never written a negative review but this experience made me feel I needed to share my experience.

    Found a hair in my burrito halfway through. I'm beyond disgusted. I will NOT be returning. I want my money back.

    Great food, often busy due to being in the heart of downtown. friendly employees, TV is playing throughout, soccer game i believe. they have Red and Green sauce for you to take to your table, great restaurant and decently priced

    Like always, Yelp helped me find another great spot! We were traveling through Utah and this was…read moreour first food stop of the trip. It definitely did NOT disappoint! The staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was very clean. First of all, Muertos Cantina is a total vibe! The inside is so cool with fluorescent lighting, colorful decor and bottles displayed beautifully behind the bar. Even the bathrooms are worth mentioning! Each one is decorated differently with tons of bright colors. Seriously, each bathroom is like its own little fiesta sanctuary. Now for the FOOD! They start you off with fresh tortilla chips and a trio of salsas, and the chips were AMAZING (especially the flour chips). Each salsa had its own completely different flavor. The Red Chile Arbol had some heat, the Chipitle Lime Crema was smooth & creamu, and then there was the milder Tomatillo Verde, which was my favorite. Soooo good! We also tried the Agua Frescas. They were refreshing, flavorful and really pretty to look at. The watermelon was probably our least favorite, but to me anything watermelon flavored can sometimes taste a little watered down. The pineapple was definitely the winner because it was way more flavorful and satisfying. Then came the Elote Corn Dip. YUMMY! It had fire roasted corn, cheese, spices, crema, pico de gallo, cilantro and Tajín. It had so much flavor and texture. Definitely one I would order again. My daughter chose the Birria Ramen, and I think this might have been her favorite part of the meal. It had slow cooked beef birria, consommé, melty cheese and ramen noodles with cilantro and red onions, plus lime and radishes on the side. It had a little spice to it and was absolutely packed with flavor. She loved it! My husband ordered one of their burritos with a side of tater tots. The kid in him was VERY happy that tater tots were an option. And FYI the burritos here are HUGE. I ordered the Smothered Spicy Chile Verde Burrito, and OMG. It had braised pork in chile verde sauce with rice and refried black beans, wrapped in a flour tortilla and then smothered with MORE chile verde, melted cheese and chipotle lime crema. It was MASSIVE and SO GOOD! I honestly have yet to find anything in Reno that compares to this one. I would order it again in a heartbeat. And whatever you do, SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! We got the churro beignets, and they were fantastic. Covered in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with caramel and condensed milk... seriously, what more do you need? They were the perfect way to finish the meal. Muertos Cantina ended up being such a great first stop on our Utah trip. Fun atmosphere, really good food, huge portions and so many different flavors. Again the atmosphere set the entire vibe for our meal. Yelp came through for me again!

The food is still very good here and some of my previous gripes are no longer an issue. I can now order tacos and burritos à la carte again. While there is still no way to go pick whatever salsa I want and the options are still more limited than before, at least they bring out 3 of my favorites with the chips now. The drinks are still just okay , a shadow of their former selves and I will never be able to accept the loss of my beloved watermelon margarita, the way they used to make it, but I will concede the drinks are decent. Service was fine. Parking is a hassle but that's just Sugarhouse. ‍ So yeah, I guess I'm back to "willing to eat here once in a while", from "I'm never eating here again". They even have a nice taco Tuesday deal which I may hit up in the near future.

Unfortunately, our experience with our server, Letty, completely changed our opinion of this restaurant. There were two main issues that made our visit frustrating: 1. We did not receive our drinks until after our food arrived, and we actually had to remind our server that we were still waiting on them. When Letty brought out our food, we politely asked about our two cokes and were told, "Give her more time." We felt we had already been very patient and only asked after our food had arrived. Waiting for drinks while eating a meal was frustrating, especially since the restaurant was not busy and was actually starting to slow down during the last hour we were there (around 8-9 PM). 2. While we were eating, Letty refilled our water and the table next to us, then continued having a long conversation with the neighboring table while standing very close to us. It felt like we were being completely ignored, and the lack of awareness for our personal space made it difficult for my husband especially to comfortably enjoy his meal. We understand that everyone has busy shifts, but the level of attentiveness and service we experienced was disappointing. We left feeling frustrated and unlikely to return after this visit and would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

Portions were honestly huge for what you're paying, and I thought the mole itself was so flavorful, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
