Everytime I come here, it's all about the carne asada fries FULL SIZE! No I'm definitely not skimping on calories or fat when I come here! It's seriously a heapful of tasty goodness! Carne asada burrito... Ahhh yeeaaa boii! Carne asada is quite juicy! I recently discovered POLLO FRIES! Bomb.com! The chicken was extremely tender and tasty! That first bite won't allow you to think straight! My heart was content that day...well maybe not my heart in the long run, but definitely my estomago! Full size fries are about 8.50z, never realized how pricey it was but you are getting meat, fries, beans, guacamole, cheese, onions, tomatoes, cilantro! I wish they made it with the thin fries! Enjoy! :) read more

Food is always decent here but tonight the lady at the drive thru just tried to pull a sneaky one on me. I handed her my card to pay and when she gave it back she handed me only the receipt and said thank you. I said wheres my card and she gave it back with the quickness. Like she was holding onto it still knowing I didn't grab the card back. smh fire this lady now!! All info needed down below on the receipt to know who was working the drive thru read more

Sabrosada - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Westminster, California

You can never go wrong with Sabrosada. I love this place! I've been coming here for years and the food is always great. Big portion size to get anyone full. I remember when this business was called Alertos (I still call it that tbh). Quality is still there, but I feel as if the prices went up. I definitely don't recall paying $10 for a burrito back then. I can't complain though since I'm always coming back. My usual go to is either the carne asada fries or the carne asada nachos. Basic, yet the most popular on the menu and the most delicious in my opinion. Drench it with red sauce and enjoy! You can also replace the regular fries for skinny fries (thought that was interesting). The carne asada burrito is good as well, but if you want more going on inside your burrito, pay a little bit more and get the super carne asada burrito. It comes with everything inside a carne asada burrito plus rice, beans, cheese, and sour cream. I've also tried the regular carne asada tacos and they weren't bad, however, I wouldn't get them as a first pick. The corn tortilla they used was too soggy and dry. They also pack it with meat, which necessarily isn't a bad thing, but I felt as if I was just eating meat and tortilla. I was looking for more guacamole and pico de Gallo to balance everything out. If you're looking to get a combination plate get the chicken fajitas! Not too salty or heavy. The horchata is a must when you come here. It may be too sweet for some people, but it's refreshing and goes great as a beverage when eating Mexican food. I always get an horchata anytime I come here. The drive thru can get busy and takes awhile, but it's worth it. You can always go order inside for faster service. They're also open very late into the night. Don't be surprised when you see it packed around 11-12 at night. read more

I love carneasada. Growing up in San Diego will definitely reinforce your to love authentic Mexican food. Ever since I left for the world, good Mexican food is hard to come by. Every now and then, you crave carneasada fries, burrito, or tacos, and chance a random restaurant. Most of the time, it's a let down. Luckily, places like this exist and mirrors some of the dishes that I've grown up with and loved. While it's not the perfect replica of places I've been, it's pretty close. Last I visited here I ordered the burrito. The meat was decent. I was hoping for a juicy, tender rendition of carneasada. It was a little dry. Not too bad but mediocre. Pico and guacamole provided the minor distraction which made the over all experience satisfied. Tortilla could have been toasted a bit longer. What I was hoping for is the juice from the meat would pool to the bottom of the burrito along with the guac and pico. The final bite would had have that explosion of flavors to finish but I was let down. It was dry. Oh well... not all finish are great. But! I will be back for more in hoping that the experience will be better. read more

We've all been there before - those nights where you drink so much, but you need to eat something to sober up so you can sneak back in to your house without waking up the parentals...wait. Maybe that's just me? WELL, nonetheless, that is where Alertos steps in. Located on Brookhurst right next to the KFC before Sam's Club on Warner, this place is pretty easy to find. The dining room is small, but to be honest, I never go during the day to be able to sit in there. Seriously, Alertos is the best thing for those nights of debauchery with its drive-thru being open 24 hours (well on Fridays & Saturdays; til 2 the rest of the week). I've been going here for yearssss. It has the same typical menu that you'd see at other dive-y Mexican restaurants. Can't go wrong with the carne asada fries aka "super fries." For about $8 you get a huge full order of deliciousness. It's bomb when you're both drunk AND sober. Just sayin'. If you're not in the mood for fries, go with the pollo asado burrito with guac and picco de gallo. It's huge and worth the price for about $5. So yea, if you guys are in the area and need something cheap and fast, stop by here and try it. FYI it's cash only so make sure you stop by an atm before or something! read more

I just realized that I gave 4 stars haha I meant to give 5! That's a no brainer. Everything I've had from this place never disappoints from their breakfast burrito to their carne asada fries to the flautas!

It was my son's 9th birthday. We asked him what he wanted for dinner. He said, "Mexican food, but not Taco Bell." My husband took us to Alerto's. All of us got burritos. I had veggie. My kids all got beef or chicken and my husband got carnitas. HOLY GUACAMOLE...the burritos were freakin' fat! They were really good, too. We all left stuffed. read more

I love this Mexican food place! I always order the chicken fajita burrito and add rice. I love how every single time I eat here the staff is nice and the food is fresh and hot! :) This is my favorite fast food place. read more

Sabrosada - Rolled tacos with rice and beans. The guacamole is amazing! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Westminster, California

When I'm having any kind of ethnic food, I want authenticity. I would really prefer having the mystery meat spinning on a hanging stick, coming from street carts, dolloped with fresh guac, onions and cilantro like they serve them in TJ. If not TJ, then like many of the mom and pop shops in LA. Yes, that authentic, ya dig? =] Alerto's comes real close to packin' in the flavor and is open late. Carne asada anything there is awesome. Ironically, I've never had the C.A. fries, which I hear is one of the biggest attractions there. I like the Carne burritos and the California burrito (which has french fries in it). Don't sleep on the breakfast burritos either! Nice price and way better than any other breakfast burrito out there! Arriba Alertos! ;) read more

Always great food, has something for everyone even picky kids. Being going to same location for years with consistently great service. Still remember the first breakfast burrito all those years ago. Ask for avocado salsa too. read more

I don't understand the 4 star rating about this place lol I ordered the #8 combo (2 Carne Asada tacos comes with rice and beans ~$8-9), one fish taco ($3 something) , and horchata (~$2) The tacos were huge .. I wasn't expecting that at all but it explains the prices. The Carne Asada was dry as hell. It was such a turn off. The guacamole looked old was definitely tasteless. Pico de Gayo was nothing special. The rice and beans look prepacked/old. The whole plate was nothing special and I'm so mad I paid that much for it! Fish taco was ginormous I thought it was a mini burrito.. Lots and lots of cabbage. The fish wasn't crispy and the breading was thin and soggy.. Service is whatever's here nothing special. I could have gotten tacos from Del Taco next door and been more content with my meal lol (and it would've costed me WAY less.) I won't be coming back for the food but maybe for the horchata :( read more

Getting extra hot sauce from the young man at the drive through is like the sewage pipe escape from Shawshank Redemption. Equally unpleasant equally shitty F that guy I'm driving a couple blocks down the street from now on. I hope he gets fired, no one else rolls their eyes at you for asking for extra hot sauce. Smug I just ordered carne asada fries with no sour cream from the young man at the drive through... It was smothered with sour cream read more

Why there are two of these places within a block of each other is beyond me. There are misspelled words on their menu so that automatically means "really-good-mexican-sure-to-be-memorable"---or at least another added star for good measure. "Incredibly simple drawing of a man wearing a sombrero?" Yes, true here. You like oversized food? You will FIND IT HERE! FATTIES! Drippy, orange, oily liquid ahead, so get ready for slippery quesadillas of pleasure. Ordering something without cheese? Like a burrito? Prepare for it to be such a ridiculous amount of food the first thing you're sure to say when you first lay eyes on it is, "Holy shit this is huge"--- because there's really nothing else you would say. read more

Alertos, but now with a new name. Same owners. It tastes the same, and I daresay better than when I remember it a few years ago. Carne Asada fries still godly, and California burrito did not disappoint. Sad that this is one of the few places that does carne Assad fries in the area. Half box of carne asada fries is more like 3/4s box-generous portions. I ate a half box and a California burrito in one sitting. I do not regret it. read more

Disappointed for the last time. So this time finally writing a review. 1) rewards system hasn't been registering my purchase after several months I still only have one point and staff was in no hurry to help me with this. I called spot on and it first they to were not helpful staining it's merchants responsibility. I the. Received a call back from spot on stating they are looking into it and confirmed my visits but no points being registered. 2) the pros food is always great as is the service. Just disappointed with the rewards system not working. read more

We went to this Sabrosada for the first time a couple of months after the pandemic started. We were picking up a curbside order from Sam's Club and were craving Mexican food so we wanted to go somewhere with a drive-thru and that's how we ended up here. The carne asada nachos are amazing (especially if you reheat it in an air fryer). Always get the full size since it's only a few dollars more than the half. The asada and al pastor tacos are pretty large and tasty. I really like their red salsa since it's spicy and my wife likes their avocado sauce which is mild. Oh, and if you like spicy food, ask for their fried peppers. The staff has always been very nice. I've never had any problems when I asked for extra salsa. read more

Random shout out to my favorite late night go to since high school. It used to be Alerto's. The name brings back much nostalgia like diving into my first ever Carne Asada Fries ever. It was a game changer and big contributor to my success in college. Then I found out I could do Carne Asada nachos. Same glory poured onto hot and crispy chips to keep the jaws crunching every bite. Did you know you can swap the beans with rice!? Revolutionary dining experience. If you're feeling wild, keep the beans AND add on the rice. Make sure you train your biceps though because that's a hefty box of gold youd hate yourself for dropping. read more

I broke down yesterday and decided to try the super fries. Holy amazing. Enough food for two... and SO delicious! I havent ever had a bad thing here. The carne asada tacos, carne asada burrito, breakfast burrito, chicken tacos... ALL of it has been amazing. Their salsa is delicious and they dont cheat you either, they give you a lot and more when you ask. Their tacos have SO much lettuce on top... I love lettuce.... I wish I could get the breakfast burritos from here for my work for Friday breakfasts but since its cash only, its not an option. Bummer. read more

As a college student in SD, many nights are filled with trips to Vallartas, Rigoberto's, Cotixan, or some other place with a good fix of Mexican food. Everyone rages about how AWESOME carne asada fries are in SD, but college friends who lived near Orange County always said that Alertos carne asada fries were better, and I had always been wanting to try it, and I FINALLY satisfied my cravings today. Okay, let's cut to the chase. Carne Asada Fries aka Super Fries It comes in two sizes, the half order for 6.15, or the full order for 8.50. The fries are fluffy, if you get what I mean, and were larger than I expected. Thus, it made me thirsty quickly. I like my fries a bit more firm, but that's my personal preference. I like how they have so much stuff!! Guac, cheese, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, more cheese, cilantro, beans. 5 stars Chicken burrito My high school clubs always ordered Alertos' burritos for International Week, but it's really bland. If I remember correctly, it's just the chicken and the wrap. Again, I like a lot of "stuff" in my burritos, and not a butt load of meat. Even the "plain" ones in SD taste better. 3 stars In the end, which ones taste better? Carne Asada Fries: Alertos Burritos: SD And yes, only accepting cash can be a pain, too, but they do have an ATM available for your use. read more

Its a small, quiet mom and pop place, that hasn't been pushed around by its predecessors. Thank goodness for pure and made ready to order food Alertos!!. I want to do the hat dance with you :-) A mild hunger pain was torturing me after working the longest shift in the world, so luckily, Alertos wasn't too far from my grasp. The hubbster picked me up and we headed down Brookhurst. Found the spot, thought about parking and dining in, but saw a drive thru instead. Awesome. I had heard legends about the Carne Asada Super Fries and went with the 1/2 order to go. Good thinking to go with just the half, it was super plenty!! Hubbster went with the Carne Asada Burrito and we washed it down with 2 orders of Medium sized Agua de Jamaica. Muy Delicioso! The flavors of the beef, guac and seasonings was perfect. My hunger was satisfied, and it was authentic enough to where I was pleased. Perks: Hefty portions for the $. Dine in or drive thru. Salsa is very tasty with the meals, Menu is super inviting to come back and try more! Desserts are available too. KNOW before you GO: The drive thru is tricky. Once you turn in from Brookhurst go straight to the back and then you will see the entry way to the drive thru. Don't go to the right of the building, there is no drive thru entry. It looks like they do take debit cards now, but bring cash just in case. OverALL: I am in love with you Alertos. My husband is too. This is simply a foodie love affair. We will be back for more! read more

Maybe it was just bad luck, but both of the Al Pastor Tacos I ordered had bones in them. The meat tasted like sautéed frozen pork. I've came here a few times before, but today was...let's just say, special. read more

The best Sabrosada location in OC!! My favorite thing to get here is the Al Pastor fries with skinny fries, or the Super Burrito, so this review is solely for those items. Portions are extremely big and affordable. I have been a regular at this location for a long time, and each time I have an amazing experience. Thank you to Sandra, and Kelly for being the best cashiers. Big shoutout to them because their customer service is amazing!! read more

I ordered a Chicken Taco (No Lettuce) for $2.10. The Cheese was good, the Taco Shell was crunchy and there was a good amount of Chicken. The Chicken was not White Meat. This Drive Thru serves good portions and hopefully will one day offer White Meat Chicken in their Chicken Taco. read more

This place is definitely a local favorite. Prices are unbeatable, food is always fresh, and portions are large. My family has been regulars here for years and have never been disappointed. The burritos are packed with loads of meat, guac, and pico de gallo. Very to the point, which we love. Their breakfast burrito is my personal favorite. Definitely check this place out for some solid Mexican food at a great price. read more

Late night taco cravings? I prefer the mini tacos, one is a snack and two for a meal. Pollo asado is delicious, especially with house green salsa. The carne asada was okay, lots of onion and cilantro, but pollo is definitely better. Generous servings of meat. The drive through attendant was awesome and the whole visit left me happy. I also visit pretty frequently for the burritos, tortas, and horchata. And rolled tacos. And chef's salad. I've pretty much eaten the entire menu here - it's all good. Perfect balance of quality, value, and convenience. read more

Good food, been coming here for years but maybe I got a different cook during the day? I got carne asada fries and ate it there. The meat was cold and dry. It wouldn't even melt the cheese. Tasted like it was taken out of the refrigerator freshly taken out of the fridge. The fries were warm but not enough to cook the meat. Very strange but I'm very weary now. read more

My friend and I were on a food mission and decided to be fat asses and go to alertos. This place may look completely run down, but the food is deliciously awesome. We got a half order of carne asada fries and a cali burrito. Carne asada fries: for a half order, there was soooo much food. Yummy fries topped with tons of tender meat, tomatoes, onions, melted cheese and of course their hot sauce. There was so much fries we didn't even make it to the burrito. For about 11 bucks, it was a great dinner. read more

This is probably my favorite 'fast-food' Mexican food. Haven't had a bad meal here yet. Service is always courteous. Love their burritos, fish and carne asada. They're pretty good sized with ample of solid fillings. It's a right amount of 'meat' and vegies. Some places cheat you on the meat and give you tons of greens. Have not been disappointed with their burritos yet. Tasty! Savory! Delicious. Love their cheesy greasy quesadillas. I know it's not that hard to make, but their quesadillas make me smiles Love their crunchy taquitos! Even with the melted cheese on top, it still crunch on every bite. Oh, the Super Fries. It's a must get. Tons of fries and meat in a single meal. You just can't stop eating. Eat in so you can have some of their fresh salsa & pico de gallos. You can ask at the drive through, but they don't give you enough. I love fresh salsa. Don't forget to ask for the fried chilies. They're a perfect accompaniment to all of the food mentioned above. Be careful some batch may be super spicy. Bite in slowly. read more

We had be coming to this place for a while now the reason is we really like the food and the service is always great but the last few time we had been there we had come out disappointing the reason is they don't make their salsa like they used to do it before it literally taste like nothing no flavor at all, that was one of the reasons we continue to go there because it's a maxican food place you expect for them to have more variety of salsa or at least one that is not hot and another one for the ppl like myself that like hot salsa maybe next time we go there I bring my own salsa picante or maybe find another place read more

After coming to this location for about 6 years, we've noticed their customer service and food quality have changed a lot. We have encountered a few "mistakes" here and there like salty food, soggy fries, burnt and or dry meat even HAIR in our food but I've never called to complain or have had the need to write them a review, but after today's incident, I think I must. My husband and I ordered thru drive thru two shredded chicken tostadas, 1 Carne asada torta w beans(+.90 cents) 1 shrimp burrito and a side of Fries.... well when we get home we noticed that our Shrimp burrito is actually an Asada burrito so I called and informed the lady over the phone what had happened and instead of trying to help me out she was rude and kept on insisting that she had repeated the order back to me and that I should have paid attention, well I did order a SHRIMP BURRITO in the first place so she should have input my order in her computer the right way I suppose. Her response was super rude. She wasn't of any help. She really needs more training cause she definitely doesn't have any customer service skills. I live a few minute from the new location on Beach blv and Lampson, but we kept on driving all the way out there cause we liked the service, but after today we will no longer return. read more

Dang this spot is on fire! Only downside is they get super busy and the wait can be long. But with that said the food is well worth the wait. Portions are large and full of flavor. I've had the chicken enchiladas with a red sauce and it fills me up half way through. Spanish rice is ok, nothing special to write home about. Burritos and tacos are spot on. Will definitely be back here when I'm in town. read more

Formerly known as Alerto's, this place is my go-to spot for a nice generously portioned California burrito for around $7. I also made the mistake of ordering a 3 tacos here before and found that the meat portion for each taco was almost half a burrito (warning: the regular . I also love how there is the convenience of a drive thru and also all the fresh salsas stocked at the salsa bar. I usually use the pico de gallo or other mild salsas to add onto my freshly made burrito to cool down the burrito with the sauce. There's plenty of sauces to choose from, such as a verde sauce, chipotle sauce, and spicier red sauce to compliment your food. The location is not hard to find as it stands alone in the plaza with plenty of parking. The only bad part to this location is that the seating is quite limited inside (maybe 20 people tops?) and this place is popular enough that if you come late in the night it may be packed on the inside so you'll be forced to sit outside to watch cars pass by this great Mexican food joint. read more

The nachos were good my only complain is that I payed 13 dollars in total for the nachos and chiles a dados but when I asked for the cook too cut the chiles asados and put them on top of my nachos they told me they can't do that because the box won't close,so then I asked them to cut them and put them aside so I can put them on top the cashier went to ask the cook.The cook still did not cut them .Never coming back here again.It's so easy just chop up the chiles and put them in the normal container that they always give me for the chiles asados read more

Sabrosada - Chiles asados - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Westminster, California

Alerto's: home of the wonderful artery clogging, heart-stopping Mexican food that'll surely satisfy your late night munchies. I used to go here all the time in high school. The Carne Asada Super Fries are definitely worth getting, and are seriously the epitome of pure, unadulterated bliss. Definitely eat this with no ragrets. Yup. You get a heaping ton of fries, topped off with a beautiful amount of carne asada, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese (I eat them sans beans oops). Eat this with ketchup on the side, and you've got the best thing in the world. It's about somewhere under $10, but who cares about the price when you've got heaven in a to-go box? Fish burritos are about $5.50, and I usually have these during Lent. Now, I've had fish burritos at other places, and they just don't compare to Alerto's. They've got that tender, crispy fish on the inside, good amount of pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese, ahh... it's so good, it's almost sinful to have on Fish Fridays. They have plenty of salsas on the inside if you dine in, but they charge extra for sauce at the drive-thru! read more

There's really not much more to say about this place that hasn't been said. It kinda sucks that they keep raising their prices, but when your only alternative for fast, dirty, drive-thru Mexican is another Alerto's located less than a mile away down the street, what are you gonna do? My favorite thing to get here is the carnitas burrito. It's way better than carne asada which I find to be rather tough and dry. The rolled tacos with guacamole and cheese are another favorite. The carne asada nachos (or fries) here are okay if you don't get beans with it, but sometimes the chips are stale. However, I find the portion to be pretty small considering an order sets you back about $8. They probably make $6 profit per box sold. Regardless of what you get, add a Horchata (cinnamon rice drink) and you're set. read more

You can't beat this place for quick food that satisfies you. Just make sure you have an iron stomach. I always get the Carne Asada fries and the Fish Burrito. I had the carne asada burrito once, and agree, its pretty dry. Just get the fish burrito with extra hot sauce. Get two and take it home, its that good. Its probably not the best in terms of authentic mex cuisine, but its damn good fast Mexican food - like Gourmet Taco Bell. read more

I have a love hate relationship with Alertos. Their food and prices are awesome, should be 4 stars. Love the nachos, super fries and horchata. But I have an obnoxious avocado allergy and it doesn't matter if I tell them in English or in Spanish but they always serve my dishes with avocado!!! So sorry, but you lose a star. It would kill me to eat the dish with avocado. I either have to send it back, return to the restaurant and exchange it or trade lunches with someone at work. Not. Cool. read more
