    a menu for a mexican restaurant
    Geoff Y.

    Really good. Growing up and living in Southern CA for almost 40 years, I've tasted all kinds of good and bad Mexican food, and this is definitely way on the 'good' side, especially for some random place in the middle of Montana. We ate here two days in a row - we had their Tinga burrito (which is basically like a spicy carnitas), verde enchiladas, breakfast burrito, and chile relleno. Everything was honestly just really good. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable. Just a great no-frills type restaurant. Plus the workers there were all extremely friendly and genuinely seemed to care if we enjoyed the food. I doubt I'll ever be back in Bozeman again, but if I am, you can bet I'll be coming here.

    a plate of mexican food

    This is the best Chili Relleno I have had in Bozeman. Alba is an amazing cook, she is serving up traditional recipes! Nothing special as far as plates and dining... but if you want to experience traditional Mexican food, this is the place.

    Their fish tacos special is always nice to check out. The cafeteria style can be a pain go up and get more food. I wish the expand their menu to include burritos in the future.

    Chicken and potato tostadas!
    Byrhonda L.

    This is the place I go when I was a simple, nice Mexican dish. The beans are so flavorful---better than any refried beans I've ever had. The owners are nice and they really know how to add on the spice! This place is affordable and you leave full. What more can you ask for?

    Special tacos and a tinga taco. All for $8

    Food was great. Taco and burritos were awesome. Only downside is they don't accept cards... Make sure to bring the cash

    Definitely the best Mexican food I have ever gotten from a drive thru!…read more First off, I didn't realize this spot was located with a gas station until I pulled up and was a little confused and nervous. After reading the great reviews, I knew I had to try it anyways. The service was super fast and friendly in the drive thru and I was happily on my way back to the hotel with some delicious smelling food. All my fears faded away with the first bite. This might be some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. I had the steak fajitas burrito which was not only huge, but SO GOOD. Piping hot and everything was very fresh. Steak was cooked perfectly and it was very filling. We also got a few carne asada tacos and the Bozeman nachos. Everything tasted amazing and the flavors were great. Sometimes I worry if things are made quick, the flavor isn't there, but in this case, it was exquisite. I would've eaten here all week while we were in town. Twice was all we had time for but I will go back every time I am in the area.

    We arrived in Bozeman in the middle of the night coming from a full day in Yellowstone. This was…read morethe nearest restaurant to our hotel open late at night. This meal was intended only as sustenance, but it was surprisingly SO GOOD??? As a Southern Californian with tons of Mexican food options, we thought Albertano's in Bozeman was so AMAZING! We came back TWICE for night time munchies! The red enchilada sauce was soo good I loved that it drenched everything. The thick red enchilada sauce with the crispy taco was the best combo of crunch and gooey chile deliciousness. Combo #4 is the way. Their red salsa also had a decent kick, which was a pleasant surprise for a spice fiend! And their salsas were not watered down as I sometimes see. Very casual fast food, looks like a big mess, but I swear it's so delicious.

    Great spot for grab and go American style mex food. It's advertised as Tex Mex, however that's a…read morelittle bit liberal. Spicy Cowgirl Dip is a go to for us as an appetizer-- and great if you just want something a little more than salsa with your chips and grabbing a beverage. Enchiladas, tacos (hard shell or street style), burritos, and the bowls do not disappoint! Space has good seating options, outside as well if the weather is good. Better interior design than Jackson Hole location. Service is spotty -- young kids who either know good service and perform or choose not to. I'm a true Blue Collar fan and this is a great addition ti the line up!

    I should've known better? Bozeman has never been great for Mexican (unless you're at a taco…read moretruck!), and Merry Piglets didn't change that. If you want bland, gringo dishes however, this is your spot!! (...Looking at my father). Unfortunately, I would choose Los Jarochos next time for similar outcome. (Note that they don't have alcohol though). Pretty standard menu, mixing the same meats, veggies and beans in various tortilla combos: burrito, fajita, enchilada, quesadilla. Couple other plated dishes. I got the carne enchilada based on my servers suggestion about how great the flavor of the carne was. (Spoiler: I didn't feel taste that, and it makes me a bit worried about what the other meats would've been like...) Pluses: modelo negra, margaritas and overall ambiance. Minuses: food was very bland (even sauces), expensive with no 'bang.' Three stars for service, booze and ambiance, otherwise would've been two, sadly. I would probably choose La Jarocohos next time, unless I was sticking just to happy hour.
