My beloved enjoyed his chicken fajita tostada; crispy fresh vegetables and generous sour cream & guacamole portions. The establishment charges extra 3.5% if paying with credit card. They also ask to be tipped when ordering at the counter; I cannot abide by this practice since I won't know what sort of service I will re ricé beforehand. Frankly, I find that practice coercive & refuse to participate in such.

The service is consistently amazing: attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they truly care about their customers. The food? Out of this world.

And don't even get me started on the margaritas (try watermelon!) - delicious, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. A special shoutout to the owner, Chelsea, who is absolutely wonderful. Her passion for what she does shines through in every detail, from the food to the overall experience. Tucked away in the shopping center off Tavern Road, this spot is a hidden gem that you don't want to miss. Once you try it, you'll definitely be back!

Alpine Taco Shop is exactly what you want from a local taco joint -- simple, no-frills, and…read moreseriously satisfying. It's the kind of place where you know what you're getting, and it hits the spot. Their California burrito is a beast. It's loaded with carne asada, crispy fries, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream -- pretty much everything you'd expect, but done right. Prices are fair, portions are big, and the staff is friendly and fast. It's not really a spot you hang out too long, but that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to be filled up If you're in Alpine and need a solid burrito or taco fix, this place won't disappoint. It's one of those dependable neighborhood spots I'll keep coming back to.
