    Torta pueblano
    Christian U.

    Man this place reminds me of the old pueblos of Mexico which is super awesome! It's located in the city of cypress And parking is kinda of small so be careful . The environment is super simple but super homey and welcoming The servers were also super helpful I was greeted by the nicest cashier The price is kind of high but it's definitely worth it you can definitely taste the quality of the food ! I got a torta and a drink and in total paid 18 and change which wasn't bad The taste of the actual food Is amazing! The bread was fresh and overall everything was super tastey! All in all I'll definitely be back!

    I'm coming back to add a picture after continuing to come here for the delicious Caldo de mole de olla. It surely never fails on a cold chilly day.

    Caldo Tlalpeño Great flavor, delicious tortillas handmade. Excellent service, I will keep coming back. I tried the Caldo Tlalpeño, the people working there really care about their food and the service, I noticed other customers enjoying their food. Thank you to their staff, your food is delicious

    Don't let this small restaurant fool you, it is very delicious! I'd say a hidden gem only locals will know. They have good authentic food and a wide selection of meats. Highly recommend to anyone that is into Mexican food. My only issue is that it is pretty small, they should have outdoor seating as well.

    This is my favorite hole in the wall in all of OC. They have my personal favorite (all day long), Chilaquiles. And you can't go wrong with a wet burrito with salsa verde, with a side of habanero salsa. So delicious! It is cash only, but they have an ATM. Everything is made fresh. I also tried the chicken tlalpeño, which is similar to menudo, and that was spicy, rich, and flavorful. Definitely would return here to try the menudo! Make sure to come before or around lunchtime before they run out! also, the staff is very polite, attentive, and friendly. can't beat that!!

    The mole poblano is easily 6 stars. That sauce...(swoon)! Smoky and dark in color and slightly sweet with a spicy kick, served over a perfectly cooked juicy chicken thigh and drumstick; $10.99. The dish comes with three tortillas which are as thick as they come. I was in awe how fluffy they were in spite being about 1.5x the regular width. The Brawny man would be blown away how amazing a job those tortillas were for soping up that mole sauce! My 3 y/o son and hubs got the taquito plate and beef enchiladas with green sauce; both $7.99 each. The rice and beans are ok...its the main item that steals the spotlight. The taquitos were made from those same thick tortillas and had an amazing crunch! Just a note, they come covered in lettuce & crema, so if you like them uber crunchy like I do, I'd ask for it on the side or not at all. The green enchiladas were tasty, moist and delicious...my Hubs says the meat was really good and the best part of his meal. We both agree the staff was amazing and very nice....even though there was a language barrier. Only 1 gentleman speaks English & he was not there until right before we left. p.s. Signs were up everywhere saying they are currently not taking credit cards. I would say it is safe to assume this is a cash only establishment. There's a ATM at the liquor store next door.

    I know a little bit of Spanish. Their hours of operation.

    Alberto's Mexican Food - Cypress, CA February 5, 2026…read more First visit This was my first time at Alberto's Mexican Food in Cypress, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the beef taco and beef taquitos, and both hit the spot. The beef taco came loaded with lettuce and cheese, and the shell was perfectly cooked--not greasy, not soggy. The beef was nicely seasoned, and the hot sauce served on the side paired with it perfectly, adding just the right amount of kick. The beef taquitos were also very good--crispy, filled generously, topped with plenty of melted cheese, and finished with a guacamole sauce that was especially tasty. The rice and beans were average, nothing bad, just not standout--but everything else more than made up for it. All in all, a very solid experience, especially for a first visit. I'd definitely return and try more items on the menu.

I've never tried it so I don't know how good it is or if it's even worth it. Anyhow, Albertaco's is right at the corner. Bacon breakfast burritos for under $9.00 is the norm. It filled me up. They use French fries instead of potatoes cooked on the flat top or what we got at least were fries. I don't know if I can specify. It did the job and got my morning breakfast burrito cravings fixed. Usually we come here for late night. Their tacos, nachos and Rolled tacos are fire.

Even the rice and beans are really good, which says a lot because those sides can make or break a Mexican spot. The people here are always nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. This place always seems busy, which is usually a good sign, but they have plenty of tables so it never feels cramped. The ambiance is great with a good atmosphere and enough space whether you're coming with family, friends, or a bigger group. Good food, good people, and a great vibe. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

    I used to LOVE this spot. I'd get shredded beef tacos and it'd feel like the tacos were so stuffed…read morethat I left feeling really satisfied. Now when I go, the taco is more tortilla than it is protein. There's barely any meet in the actual taco. It's kind of disappointing. They also sell most things à la cart. So for example, you can get guacamole but chips are extra. I get if you're getting a small 2 ounce thing, you might want that for your taco so you don't necessarily need chips. But if ordering the larger 8 ounce option, it seems wild that by itself without chips that would be closer to $8. Usually when I go in, they keep the receipt because they don't require signature. But today the girl at the register tried to force me into an awkward tip. I read the receipt, "No signature required" and she bashfully took it back. It was mad awkward. Idk I think today was my last visit. Used to feel like a gem, now I leave hungry. :(
