    Another hidden gem in OC. The best carnitas you'll find in the area. Plus their salsa and pico are top tier. They only serve two kinds of tacos, carnitas and chicharron, and you can also buy by the lb! They're at the cypress swap meet on Saturdays and Sundays located by the in front of the restrooms.

    One of thee best tacos Ive had in a very long time. Its a food stand located in the Cypress College Swapmeet on the weekends. Dont let the long line deter you from trying. It goes rather quickly. If you're a fan of carnitas or chicharrones, you have to try this place out. The chicharrones tacos was so crunchy and delicious. Make sure you dont let it sit, otherwise it becomes soggy. They're about $3 each but they pack on the meat. I dont know what home cooked tacos taste like, but I would imagined it taste like this place. It reminded me of home if that makes sense.

    Some of the best carnitas around. Literally the only reason I got to the Cypress Swapmeet.

    Where the magic happens

    BEST carnitas I've ever had!! It has all the flavors you could possibly want in a carnitas taco. Located at Cypress College swap meet on the weekends. Just follow your nose - you'll be able to smell it. They are definitely not stingy with the meat. Good luck trying to get everything in one bite. Fatty and moist with fresh salsa is top tier along with the quick but quality service. 10/10 recommend.

    Carnitas we're missing some flavor. The service was good and I received my order quickly.

    5 out of 5 stars! This is my second time coming here, and the food is always amazing. The staff is…read morefriendly and truly on another level. Today we showed up around 6 a.m. thinking they were open, but they were actually still closed. The door happened to be open, and the cook greeted us kindly and let us know they weren't open yet. As we were about to leave, he called us back and said, "It's okay, I'll fire up the grill and make you something," even though they weren't supposed to open for another two hours. That kind of service is rare and speaks volumes. What an awesome gesture! I definitely recommend this place. Thank you, Señor Taco!

    Usually I write much longer reviews but there's so much here that most other people already talked…read moreabout it. My basic review is this: - There are a LOT of choices here and every option is great - The customer service is stellar and they greet you right away and make sure your order is confirmed before starting it - The pricing is very fair, I didn't feel like I broke my bank buying the tacos and quesadillas - I'm glad they have meat that's outside of just the normal beef and pork. It's not common you get options beyond this - I think they are very fast given the type of restaurant they are, and you are never going to feel "why is this taking so long" - Get their drinks! Don't forget! Top notched place in the area. I'll be coming back again for sure!

    4 star rating is for their 3-Roll Taco…read more This place has always been reliable for their carne asada, California Burrito, chicken chimichangas, and 3-rolled tacos. I've been coming here since it was originally named Alberto's...The outside seating has not changed. It's still the same round table bench with the red umbrella. Service is the same, they're pretty quick at getting your food prepped. Now I said that their carne asada has always been reliable, but my last two times I've ordered a carne asada burrito (sour cream and cheese only) or a CA burrito, IYKYK, their meat has tasted different. It taste like it's some carne asada and then like some other mystery meat, sometimes liver... Either way I stop eating it when I have tasted it being weird. Maybe it's the other meats they serve that get mixed in. I don't dig that. So for that I would rate them down to a 3 star. I'm rating their 3 rolled tacos as 4 stars! It's the best around. It has the crunch and enough meat inside. It's not all tortilla like some places. We always order it with sour cream and cheese only, with carrots on the side. I've tried adeltacos down the street and it doesn't compare. Get it here.

    For takeout, check your bags please I understand they are…read morebusy & doing their best to ensure that your order is right. However, this is the 2nd time we've had a missing item from our takeout. We moved away, but grew up with Albertaco's and we LOVE IT. Carne asada fries, chicken quesadilla, cali burrito, their red salsa, chef's kiss. Last year May 2025, we drove and did takeout for our brothers birthday. We ordered 2 carne asada fries, and they only gave us 1 (our order was big). Yesterday, May 17,2026, I drove out here again for my brother's birthday request to do takeout for our entire family. Ordered 2 orders of their rolled tacos, finally got home to see that we only received 1 order of the rolled tacos, not 2 (we also ordered more things). Yes, you'd obviously like for everything that you paid for to be handed to you, but a lesson learned to check your bags!!! If something is missing, kindly let them know and receive everything you paid for. Not the end of the world, we love this place as this is one of our childhood comfort foods/go-to places.. we moved away and miss this place all the time, and to make our birthdays feel like home/childhood, we drive out here to show our loved one some extra love with Albertaco's BOMB food, but yeah, it's a bummer when you're missing things that you paid for & is shown on the receipt (will post receipt photo shortly).
