Tacos
Tina B.

I had the carne asada burrito and tacos. Both of my burrito and tacos were dry so I smothered it with salsa and it worked for me. Don't forget it's CA$H ONLY.

Sausage and bacon breakfast burrito. So good.
Melissa O.

The food here is pretty damn awesome. Here's what we've had: Breakfast burritos - they come with choice of meat, eggs, potatoes, cheese and we've ordered sausage and bacon, sausage, bacon, and ham, and chorizo with added beans Chorizo, egg, and cheese breakfast tacos (I could eat my weight in these) Chorizo and egg plate (chorizo, eggs, tortillas, rice, beans) Tacos - al pastor, barbacoa, chorizo Burritos - carne asada, al pastor The meats are just overall spot on and the standout is the chorizo. I don't know how they make it or where they source it, but this is some of the best I've ever had. So so delicious. I make my own at home and I love it well enough, but if I can figure out what it is in theirs that I am missing from mine, I will have struck gold. The al pastor is also pretty spectacular. I would do a whole plate of this on its own. Couple of negatives: the carne asada was dry and didn't really pack a lot of flavor. Could have been an off day, though, and I am more than willing to give it another try. Also, the rice was admittedly lackluster, but just like I don't judge a barbecue place on their sides, I don't judge a Mexican place on its rice. Maybe that's just me. But all I really care about is the meat. And this place delivers on that front. Prices are good and very fair and service is always quick and friendly. I am so happy I found this truck. I only wish I had discovered it sooner!

This is a food truck but it is good. All orders are made fresh. You get 4 tacos for $6. Breakfast burritos cost $4 and lunch burritos cost $4.50. The salsa they put on the tacos have quite a kick to them. You need to tell them to skip the sauce if you do not like it spicy. Burritos give you the best bang for your buck but tacos taste the best. The elote is nothing special in my opinion. This place is cash only! I believe they have an ATM in the store.

Parked in a gas station parking lot, this yellow taco truck is totally unassuming and easily passed. I'm ashamed to say that if it had not been for rave reviews and pictures on Yelp, I probably would have never given this place a try. I'm 100% glad that I finally decided to try Taqueria Albertos. Walking up to the truck itself, there are pictures for every item to help distinguish which items you might want to try. When I walked up to the window, I was greeted by a warm smile and asked what I'd like from a cheerful and amiable man. He answered a quick question of mine, then proceeded to happily write down my and my date's menu selections. I knew already that I wanted to order their street tacos and sopes, so that's what I chose. I also spotted a handwritten "Homemade Gordita" sign. I had to give that a go! At the end of our order we were asked if we'd like red or green sauce. "Or both?" the man asked as if knowing that's exactly what I wanted. "Both!" I said in agreement. Our order consisted of a street taco plate, a gordita, and two sopes - all asada (steak). The grand total was $16.10. We waited less than 10minutes before everything was ready. The wait was long enough to know that your food is being made fresh and fast enough to appease a worker on the go or an impatient person. The food: SO GOOD! The sopes were topped with iceburg lettuce, cheese, and red sauce. Next time I'll request cabbage, avocado, and cilantro as my topping. Toppings aside, the sopes were delicious. The street taco plate did not disappoint. Onion, cilantro, and lime to squeeze were the tacos accoutrements, and (being a "plate") also included rice and beans. The homemade gordita stole the show for me. It was beyond tasty and satisfying. It was wonderful. Addictive. You should try it! As good as everything was, there's so many other items that I want to try. Their burgers look legit. I'll be trying the Ortega Chili Cheeseburger soon! Breakfast burritos, quesadillas, and tortas are all calling my name as well. Not to mention the variants each item can be customized and made depending on your choice of meat. A quick tip: This place is cash only. But FEAR NOT! There is an ATM located inside of the gas station it shares its parking lot with. Red sauce is spicy! The green sauce is milder. Both have great flavor.

LEGIT TACOS!!!!!!!! I am an incredibly picky street taco girl! I need my flavors right and strong! I have a favorite taco spot but it's not conveniently located to my house. I've been searching for over a year now for some comparable tacos that are closer. FOUND THEM AT TAQUERIA ALBERTOS!!!!!!!!!! Al Pastor tacos...this is all I order. I can't resist Al Pastor. I've been disappointed so many times, waiting for a flavor burst or good moisture to the meat with other restaurants. My first bite of Taqueria Albertos tacos was FULL OF FLAVOR and moisture...NOT GREASE. The beans and rice tasted as though they were literally homemade and cooked in somebody's mom's kitchen! I'M OFFICIALLY IN LOVE WITH THEIR FOOD!!!! Not in the mood for a tacos? (Not too sure why you wouldn't be in the mood) Fine! They offer burgers as well and other types of food. They also have the glass bottle cokes and Jarritos sodas so you won't go thirsty. I definitely will be back and if I can resist the Al Pastor, I'll try a burger! Take into account, this establishment is CASH ONLY so don't go pulling out your plastic! There really isn't a place to sit and enjoy the food but a "car date" with my fiancé and those tacos was PERFECT! They're located right off of Saginaw/Main and are easy to miss if you don't look for the flag or maybe the store they are parked in front of.

Pretty good food and great services. The food is cooked right when you order, but the wait is not long at all. The rice was really tasteful. I wouldn't say the meat tasted authentic but it did taste home cooked and really good.

This is the food truck located in the parking lot of the gas station. NOT here on the weekends!

This is a little food truck (trailer) that sits in the parking lot of Ron and Franks convenience store in Saginaw between Longhorn Road and 820. He is only there on the weekdays and is open early for breakfast. Beware that it is cash only- there in an ATM in the store though. I agree that from the looks of it, it appears a little sketchy... But I came to know about this place after it was recommended to me by several people I know who work for the city of saginaw. I took their recommendation and have been pleasantly surprised. I have been here several times now and have not yet been disappointed. The guy who works the food truck is very nice and is really fast so I'm never hesitant to stop in on the way to work. He has really good breakfast tacos and lunch plates. The prices are very fair. I usually get 2 breakfast tacos (and salsa) and the cost is only $3. Awesome:) The food is always fresh and delicious. I just wish he was open on the weekends too! :) he's only there Monday through Friday from 630AM- 5PM.

I live nearby and had no idea they opened at 9 a.m. Now, I know where to go when I'm craving birria before the 11 a.m. rush. Kassandra was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout my visit. I ordered two burrito combos, a watermelon and lime margarita with a sugar rim, a strawberry and mango margarita with a tajín rim, and the top sampler platter. I enjoyed everything, but the margaritas were definitely the highlight! I rarely drink alcohol during the summer, so I was excited to try the margaritas this establishment had to offer, and they did not disappoint. I also noticed a new establishment across the street with a similar name. I asked Kassandra if both restaurants had the same owner? As I suspected, they did! After paying my bill, I decided to head across the street to check out the owner's new restaurant. The staff at Mariscos Cortez was very welcoming and I'll definitely be returning to explore their menu! Note: Keep your receipt for 10% off your next visit! Offer valid for 14 days.

They were stuffed with tender meat and were not excessively greasy. They come with onion and cilantro and three different salsas. Kind of embarrassed to say I ate it all but I couldn't help it.

Service was friendly although they gave my plate to the person next to me, they went back and brought me my food fairly quickly. The horchata was also very good.

First time here and it was such a positive experience. I was a little confused about dressed code…read morebut it really is a mix. We were over dressed but there were some really casually dressed people so I'd say just come hungry or sort of hungry. I had seen all the buzz about the fried cactus and as someone who has grown up eating all my life I was intrigued on how this would be any different. Boy was I wrong. In fact, I would be happy enough just coming and eating only this. I have some sort of food limerence where I cannot stop thinking about this. Like daily! I want it so bad. No it was a whole experience because waiter placed this bowl towering with a mountain of curly crunchy ribbons. He kindly gave us his advice on the best way to eat it. You take their fresh made blue corn tortilla, pile on the cactus, don't be shy, if it fits in your mouth just go for it, then that green sauce was heavenly. All the flavors combined made me levitate. That would've been embarrassing. You could easy fill up on this alone given enough time and privacy. I just wanted a moment alone to enjoy fully ha ha. I then ordered the Chile en Nogada and the picture alone was enough for me to go yes we're on our way immediately. However listen I am a self proclaimed gift wrapping queen. I know a good ribbon and a good bow. I know that the typical dish has a bow - yes a fabric bow but this bow was not up to the standard of this restaurant, unfinished edges, and the color satin gold was not really representative of the environment. Good thing the bow is not edible but visually it could use a little improvement. The dish itself was 4 out of 5 for me only because I have had this dish before at a more casual space and every component of the dish was full flavored, where this one feels a bit safe. For dessert I was a little unimpressed with the options. I am not a fan of tres leches so I did not order their most famous desert but instead opted for another one that was a pastry with ice cream on top. I also give it 4 out of 5 its needing more flavor and sweetness, I mean this is dessert. The five stars is more for the service. Our server was amazing. He described every dish we ordered as if we were watching a Netflix documentary of a chef competition and they just submitted their dish. The table next to us got an amuse bouche compliments of the chef and I didn't want to be too nosy and peek over so I have no idea what it was. I was really hoping we'd get one too because honestly I was still hungry after all that. Oh cocktails. We ordered a drink before our table was available and I was not playing. I remember ordering a glass of bubbly rose and when our server brought it he served me a sip and had me try it before I decided, but honestly I wanted to tell him that I couldn't feel my face just pour it.

My friend said we HAD to try Joe T's...ummm it was all hype...and a bit unorganized…read more After a Saturday afternoon event we drove here to test it out. At first glance it seemed very cool, ambience was very welcoming, like we were at a family members home. However, the issues began when it was time to order. There were so many exclusions available after lunch time that we didn't really know what we ordered. My friend and I ordered margaritas...barely a drop of alcohol in either and were melted when they arrived. The other thing is a server brought out a plate of nachos (large tortilla with melted cheese) but didn't tell us it was two separate orders. Another friend ate mine by accident. Our server spilled some of my margarita on the table then wiped her hands on our tablecloth. Absolutely unsanitary. I ordered the small enchilada plate and $22 later I was disappointed. Food was mid at best, nothing was spectacular or cause to return. The cash only rule was fine until they told us they wouldn't split the check. Keep in mind that we barely know what each of us ordered since the server suggested items not found on the menu. I just added $40 and said good day. I've had DoorDash deliver better Mexican food than this.

You walk up to order, grab a seat, and wait for your buzzer to go off. One thing to note: if you order drinks, keep an eye out for them because they're not brought to your table. As for my meal, I tried the mushroom, shrimp, and pastor tacos. The pastor was underwhelming, and the shrimp was overcooked. The mushroom taco was easily the standout and will definitely be my go-to if I come back. The weather will soon be nice for enjoying the patio, but there's also plenty of indoor seating available.
