I've passed by Aliberto's many times while driving on Aurora. I finally decided to try them for dinner. There's a drive thru as well as a small parking lot on N 143rd (about 6 cars) and a smaller lot in front of (about 3 cars). Depending on the time you go, there can be some "colorful" people given the location however I never felt unsafe. The menu is pretty exhaustive and they also have birria. I got the carne asada plate, carne asada fries, and a carne asada breakfast burrito (another visit; breakfast served all day). Everything was pretty good and had big portions. The only thing was during my visit, the carne asada was way too salty but my other visit was not as salty. I'll definitely come back to Aliberto's and it's also great that they're open 24 hours for drive thru. read more

Aliberto's reminds me of the classic San Diego style Mexican joint. Where they have a massive menu with anything you could possibly want, and a salsa / pickled vegetable bar on the side. The combination plates are an outrageous value for Seattle food. Just a massive heap of food that you can create your own adventure with. Grab one of the warm tortillas that are provided with your meal, and stuff that thang with a little of everything you got. If you decide to eat at this location, it's always a wild ride. I just saw one man come in to try and sell his homemade juice to someone who was just enjoying their tacos. I wasn't pitched on his wares, but it seemed like an enticing business proposition. You're not going to feel great after eating here, but it is solid food and good prices. I go here every time that I get my car serviced down the street, and it's always worth the trip. read more

Can't get enough of this place. Absolutely fantastic Carne Asada burritos! I am Not a huge fan of places that use fillers-rice & beans- that detract from the overall flavors in a burrito. This place does. Or do that- the Carne Asada burrito is clean, simple , delicious ingredients. I also really enjoy the Birria tacos. Oh, and the breakfast burritos are HUGE. read more

I received about a third of my order. I asked where it was and they hung up on me. I called back and they said come back tomorrow. And they didn't have my money. Don't effing bother with these clowns. The food is mid and there are tons of other places to go. It's just another shitty mexi place that doesn't give a f*ck. Enjoy the many other places on aurora. Trust me. read more

After visiting an Alberto Jr location and receiving a disappointing California Burrito, I decided to drop by Aliberto's Jr to try their rendition out. Carne Asada Fries Burrito ($10.74) - I have no idea why they call this a Carne Asada Fries Burrito rather than a California Burrito. Other than the fact that they have a California Burrito on the menu that isn't a California Burrito, but I digress. Anyway, this burrito is a surprisingly solid California Burrito. It's about 8 inch by 3.5 inches in size and is packed full of ingredients. They don't cheapen things out by overdoing it on the fries and instead focus on a well balanced burrito. The fries that are included still have a bit of a crisp on them and are tender on the interior. They construct the burrito so that there's essentially a layer of fries on the bottom, which is topped by everything else. The carne asada is probably the weakest part of the burrito - it's somewhat flavorful, but extremely salty and is missing any char or smokiness. Instead, it's very tender, although there are portions with fat and gristle attached. It could definitely use some more time on the grill. They add plenty of cheese, melted nicely, and sour cream and guac, more than enough to moisten every bite. While they do have a salsa bar, I found that there was enough moisture in the burrito that it didn't require any salsa. The tortilla is crisped up a bit on the flat top so it's warm and pliable. Overall the burrito is very well balanced, and the construction is good enough that it can easily be eaten on the go without falling apart. This is one of the better California Burritos I've had outside of San Diego. (4/5) The burrito was just under $11 before tax. There's not many other places around Seattle that can get you such value for the price. This place is solid for SoCal-style Mexican food. It's pretty much the same as all of the -berto's restaurants down in San Diego, so whenever I have a craving for that, I'll be back. Side note: I'm kind of surprised that Alberto Jr and Aliberto's Jr haven't filed lawsuits against each other, given that they have entirely different ownership, yet only have a single letter difference in the name and have logos that are essentially identical. Yes, I know some of it has to do with -berto's in general, but these two in particular are very easy to confuse and in very close proximity to each other.

A+++ I love this place. Not sure why I didn't come here before. But now I've been here several times in the past few months. I ordered the California burrito and I have to say WOW! It has potatoes in it, which is not something I have tried before, but holy smokes, it's deeeee-lish!!! Gotten it four times now I think and I'll continue to do so! Friendly staff, open all day and night, cool and kind of funky interior, very colorful! No downsides here! Oh by the way, I also order the "pina agua fresca" (pineapple fresh water) and it is so refreshing and tasty! If you don't come here, or one of their other stores I'm assuming.... your fault. I always see latinos eating here, soooooo... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???? GO AND GET YOU SOME!! read more

Solid food, super fast drive thru, affordable and they're open late! What else do you need?

The place has really taken a nosedive. The burritos are as wide as the chili containers they serve, and the food is just plain nasty. It's never good anymore. South Seattle, on the other hand, is pretty consistent. But this Aurora location is terrible, no matter what time of day you go. read more

Their breakfast burritos and carne asada fries are done well, done right.. Confusing drive thru but worth the confusion!

This place is pretty awesome. I've only been through the drive-through twice. It's a little bit ridiculous how to navigate getting in and out, but worth the effort. Birria meat is the specialty here, and they do it well. Great flavor, ample portions... exactly what I look for. But I also like their regular crunchy tacos with various meat fillings like carnitas or chicken. This is much better than your traditional fast food taco joints. It's much more authentic and tasty. The unfortunate thing for me is that I am on that side of the water infrequently, and this restaurant is near several other restaurants that I really like as well. So either I don't stop here, or when I do, it causes me to absolutely go over the top eating more than I should on that day. I give it a thumbs up, though, mostly because of the convenience of being able to drive through the varied menu, even though birria is their thing, and the food is fresh and flavorful. read more

The food is good. When the restaurant first opened the food was amazing. Now when we order something is always missing. Guacamole/Sour Cream!! How can you miss the most important part of the meal?

Quick service for takeout. We skipped the drive thru and walked in.

I had been awaiting this site to open in the former Taco Time location at 143rd/Aurora. Aliberto's Jr finally opened around Thanksgiving and greatly appreciate fellow Yelp Elites, Kristine, Erik, and Erica for posting. Note: unlike other fast food drive throughs, it does not have an entrance from the south, enter from the northside of the building adjacent to the auto parts store. From entrance to exit, it's like an upside down horseshoe. Trust me, I wasn't the only one having a drive through moment on this slushy Saturday (12/3/22). Big plus - their drive through is open 24/7. This could be dangerous, lol. There is a vast posted menu, but of course, Murphy's Law couldn't take a proper photo. I did ask for a takeout menu though. Turns out Aliberto's Jr is part of a Burritos California chain with sites in Seattle's University District and Fremont, Mountlake Terrace, and Lakewood. Because they go by various names, I wouldn't be surprised if there were additional locations. For this first ever visit, I ordered a carne asada burrito and was given both green and red salsa in my takeout bag. It sure was hefty that I weighed it on my baking scale....it was 19.25 ounces, well over a pound! I literally had not had a carne asada burrito for years, as I had switched to tacos and quesadillas. This particular behemoth was well wrapped in a tortilla containing grilled steak, pico de gallo, and guacamole. No rice, beans, cheese, or sour cream. Perfect since I didn't want any excessive carbs or dairy. This was delicious and gave me instant San Diego vibes. Convenient, economical, delicious, and friendly drive through service. read more

Squee! Another San Diego style Mexican shop in town! This one is open 24 hours and has a drive through, so it's even more enticing. I had a Carne asada burrito and it was very, very good. The green salsa will light a little fire in your mouth, so use accordingly. We tried the rolled tacos which came bountiful topped with guacamole, cheese and lettuce and had a nice crunch. Husband had the California burrito and was quite happy with it. Definitely worth a stop, especially when that late night craving hits. read more

Let's talk portion size: impressive! But the flavor? Also decent. Truly not mad if this is going to be open 24/7 and be a regular option. I wish them well, seeing as most things on aurora are not open late for hungry people like me! Feedback: you NEED MORE than two tiny hot sauces for 10 tacos ordered! And let's look into getting some lime wedges please. read more

Valentina is the best! We are always greeted with a great attitude and friendly smile regardless of the time. Gracias Valentina and to the team. read more

We're still regulars at the joint but to be honest, the quality control is so bad. We've gotten great churros, then some horrid ones depending on who works there if they actually give a crap. Our last monster burrito was 1/2 beans...1 teaspoon of carne asada and 1/3 guac + sour cream. Monster burrito from last month was loaded with cheese, meat, well balanced etc. Your experience will VARY wildly depending who is on shift and what they feel like making for you. Really needs to have oversight. At least it's cheap and fast... It's like a Mexican food casino. Your miles will vary depending on who is in the kitchen. read more

Amazing food and quick service, some of the best food in Seattle. I loved the fish taco and carnitas.

So good. Service through the roof. Unreal. Best burrito I done ever had. Service was unmatched. Ambiance was insane. They were unreallllllll

I come here often and they are always amazing to me. I love Kimberley, she is always smiling and happy. The Birria and beans are the best as well as their breakfast burritos. I highly recommend this place don't let the location stop you from going in it's clean and great atmosphere along with the food will having you leaving happy. read more

I got the crazy burrito which is a breakfast burrito filed with sausage, bacon, and ham along with potatoes, cheese, and eggs. Out of all the breakfast burritos, I would say this one is definitely up there. Packed with lots and lots of meat! Some other places fill up their burritos with potatoes but not here! The horchata was good too. read more

11/10! Have been looking for that Cali style burrito for a while. This is one of those many variations of the famous Berto's burritos that have dozens of variations on names. Great spot for breakfast burritos. The carne asada and the carne asada with fries burritos are top notch!! They have fresh hot sauces that are always tasty! Service is fast and friendly. Drive through is overall pretty quick. The inside dining area is clean and usually not too busy. I only wish that this place had more locations and possibly better locations. read more

Alibertos always coming in clutch late at night, with the carne fries and california burritos!! Lil taste of home.

Affordable. Fast. Tasty. A great fast food type of restaurant. We usually go thru their drive thru which has always been a very reasonable wait for us. Out go tos: Al pastor burrito (note: their meat burritos don't come with rice), carne asada fries, shrimp burrito and chile relleno burrito (both of these have rice). Of the things we have tried, was not a fan of their rolled tacos or fish tacos. Rolled tacos were just not flavorful and fish tacos had a sweet sauce that is not up my alley. They are also generous on the salsas for to go order as which I appreciate! Great little spot on Aurora. read more

This is the millionth time this happens. I ordered the carne asada nachos. NO pico de gallo. It has tons of pico.

A bunch of signs along Aurora inviting people in for their grand opening in a week or so made me swing in their drive thru. No others in line, but she instantly got pushy, saying Hello Hello while I just started looking at the big, can barely see it menu. Strong accent, could barely understand her. Got our order from a slider window that's covered with ads, so you feel ignored staring at a wall. Got the order, she reads it off the receipt, then keeps the receipt. Basically, I ordered a platter meal and wife got a grilled chicken burrito. She was supposed to get guacamole, but it was almost non-existent. My platter was supposed to come with corn tortillas, of course. NONE. Got a bowl of red greasy stuff, no idea. The coke was actually Bad. Bad service, Bad food, For my thirty bucks, I wish I'd just gone a block further to Taco Time!!! Never going back. Highly do not reccomend. read more

I go to San Diego about once a year. Whenever I'm there, i hit the taco spots hard. This new gem takes me there every time. Their fresh guacamole sauce and pico topped soft tacos gets me every time. I've tried ever taco twice over and the best tacos you can get are the el pastor(marinated pork) and pollo asado(grilled chicken) soft tacos. At 3.99 a piece they are loaded. I mean LOADED with meat. Look at the picture. Each taco is bigger than my hand and weighs over half a pound. If you want a small meal, get their kids menu chicken burrito or mini taquitos, it comes with fries or beans and rice with a drink for 5.99. You can't beat that. From 7am to 2pm they have a breakfast burrito special. For 4 bucks but you get a packed burrito with everything for the farm. You get ham, egg, cheese potatoes. The burrito weighs over a pound. Pro tip: get the kids meal with fries and get a side of carne asada (for 3.24) and pile the meat on top of your fries. Top your fries with pico, salsa, creama or guac and you will have a flavor bomb in your mouth so good you'll plan on alibertos Jr in your permanent budget like you do with Starbucks. The price to food ratio is awesome. You easily fill yourself for under 10 bucks. They lovely ladies at the register are soo nice, they make you wanna come back. El chino gordo has a permanent seat here twice a week. Y'all don't even know. Do yourself a favor. Come to this spot before it blows up. The 24 hour drive thru within 4 blocks of two weed spots is pure genius. read more

Decided to give this place a try after finding out they where open. The drive through is open 24 hours so that's dangerous. I had the California burrito. Very tasty. Only complaint is I asked for extra guacamole and got almost none. Rolled tacos where great as well. Be warned this is one of those spots where the green salsa is jalapeños based not tomatillo based so it's got a kick. read more

This location has been under construction for a while now. When I realized that they opened within the last week or so, I figured I'd pop by and check them out. Weather being the usual for a Seattle November, I availed myself of their drive through. My order was taken and fulfilled quickly: a simple taco salad with beef which was under ten dollars. Wasn't far to return home and the taco shell remained crisp, despite the au jus from the birria. The layers were: refried beans, birria, a few cilantro leaves, iceberg lettuce, and shredded cheese. I would definitely return, especially for a late night need for nachos or several tacos. With a 24-hour drive through, I can satisfy those cravings! read more
