The food is consistently delicious, and the portions are generous. This is the kind of local restaurant worth cherishing and supporting.

My expectations weren't too high because I didn't know if Albany had a thriving Mexican community. Viva Cinco de Mayo blew me away! We sat in a comfortable outdoor dining section. Our waitress was extremely helpful! The menu was extensive and felt authentic to me. My daughter ordered chips and queso, clearly house made chips were outstanding! Her chicken and cheese quesadilla was also delicious. My wife and I shared some of the best tamales we've ever had! So fresh and vibrant, chicken with green salsa. My wife enjoyed three tacos and the sangria. I absolutely loved their pozole with mole sauce! The hominy was perfectly cooked. Their fresh Tamarindo juice was also delicious! Truly an awesome lunch!

We couldn't decide from the awesome choices but I finally decided on Carne Al carbon tacos and beef nachos and my husband got the chicken fajita quesadilla. OMG we haven't eaten here since we first started dating in 2021 and it was mid. This time it was absolutely amazing. So amazing that everything looked so good and we forgot to take a picture. But trust me when I say every flavor was on point. We argued about who's driving home so the other can sleep. Thank you for an amazing date night filled with good food, good vibes, great service and amazing food.

Upon arrival you'll receive complimentary chips and salsa. It was fresh as the chips were warm and I could taste the fresh ingredients in the salsa. We ordered the carne asada and the Baja tacos (and the enchiladas verdes to go based on hot good the food was). The carne asada was fantastic, and it came with rice, beans, and tortillas. The Baja tacos were delicious and came with a super spicy sauce (they did have a lot of onions which was my only drawback). We ended the night with a special strawberry tres leches for Valentine's Day. It's not something I would have typically ordered but I do love tres leches and this did not disappoint - it was amazing. All in all excellent food you'll be glad you came for the food! A few other notes- the inside of the restaurant is pretty and draws on what I've seen in other Mexican restaurants. Staff were so friendly and had the perfect balance of checking in with us to letting us eat our meal. There is a small bar area that is separate from the dining area. Street parking only but there seemed to be plenty of spots. However, I would try to park as close as possible to the restaurant as the neighborhood itself didn't seem like the greatest. We had no issues during our experience but just something to consider. Overall I really liked this place and will definitely return!

Was not ready for the kids food which was mentioned was off menue to cost as much as regular adult orders. Honestly a bit absurd. For that cost and what we received we won't be back. The tortillas for my tacos fell apart while eating them the doubling it up isn't holding it together. The kids - who love quesadillas- were not interested in these at all which sucks for the price you pay. The three small tacos I received were ok. My husbands burrito was also just ok. We really wanted to like this place, we love this type of food and the branding they have is so fun! It just didn't do it for us.

To explain, the tortilla was fresh and cooked perfectly. However, the quesadilla was very thin and didn't have much in it. The only thing inside the quesadilla was chicken and cheese which led to it being a bit dry. The quesadilla definitely needed some type of sauce. At least the chicken itself was flavorful and tender. That being said, it was simply an average quesadilla. To be brief, Tacos Diablo has acceptable quesadillas, but they are nothing special.

The fish tacos, mahi-mahi a favorite of mine, were delightful! They gave an ample serving a fish cooked just right. The only thing I would change is swap out the big soft flour tortilla for two nice fresh corn ones. That said still delicious! I could've used a little bit of pickup de Gallo, something to brighten it a bit... but I used the limes provided and this gave me a bit of the brightness I craved. I also ordered a margarita to go and was stunned at how big and delicious it was! I should have asked if they can do salt on the side to take home. I'm excited to come back and try some of the other tacos. I was also so happy with the to go packaging! Nice work on using paper cartons!

I am choosing outdoor seating at this time during the pandemic. We sat at a little counter area with stools which was outside but accessed from inside. They also have tables outside on the sidewalk as well as inside seating. They have a small menu limited to tacos, chips and salsa or guacamole. They were out of fish tacos so I chose the Ancho Chicken which had charred corn, pickled shallots, cojita cheese and cumin cream. My son had Korean Beef with Curried Kimchee and my husband Carne Asada with avocado cream. Each order came with 2 tacos. All were tasty. My corn and diced chicken was hard to keep contained in the soft corn tortillas and kept spilling out. I had a house Margarita which came in two portion plastic bottle and a glass of ice on the side. It was good if not outstanding. It would have been nice to have something on the side of the plate whether it was rice, beans, salad or even a small cup of salsa. Granted they had chips and salsa for an additional charge but we didn't want to spend anymore. I look forward to seeing great if they expand the menu a bit. They earned the 4 stars for good flavors and very friendly service.

A great flour tortilla, well seasoned meat and cheese was all I needed.

To do something this great with 3 elements (plus seasoning) is really impressive. Coupled with the fun interior looking out onto a busy Four Corners, there isn't much better on a cold winter night than an excellent taco and this place has it. Count me as a BCO fan from now on.
