My dog has horrible anxiety and can't be left alone. We bring her here for dinner sometimes bc they have outdoor seating. Theyre INCREDIBLY friendly to her, letting her sit up on the flower bed so shes not underfoot and bringing her water without being asked! Their food is amazing as well. I got the cabeza tacos (didnt know what they were, who knew beef head would be so delicious?) and my husband got their enchilladas, and both of us were more than satisfied with both the food and service! read more

I have been to this restaurant a half of dozen times and just about every time the prices go up they make cocktails but they suck the waitresses make the drinks and they definitely are not bartenders they need to hire a bartender no sit down bar they make the drinks behind a display counter what a joke read more

This place is the bomb. Fresh ingredients and the food Is excellent. Service was excellent and the whole place shook of authenticity. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant! The owners are friendly and personal. Great customer service! I try to change my menu items up, but sometimes I just want a street taco. I mostly come here for a snack, but I also buy dinner. read more

The food is alright. I the double steak enchilada plate and it was mediocre. The steak was underseasoned, a tad bit overcooked, and the rice a little bland. The chips and salsa were good and I also asked for beans along with the chips, because it's usually a good combination. But not here. Beans were... depressing. Bland, a little bitter, and... maybe microwaved? It could be better. It's just ok. read more

The environment is cozy, the staff friendly, and the food delicious. I had the Pazole and it was some of the best I've ever had. Especially since I wasn't feeling well. It was like having a hug in a bowl. read more

I am addicted to their Caldo de Pollo and the staff is so friendly. Sorry, haven't had anything other than the caldo because it is just so perfect. read more

Best thing I can say is the chicken strips were good. First the service was super slow, never once came back to check on us. We asked for waters and got one glass. When we asked for more chips, she didn't give us more salsa for it. The food. My wife ordered a cheese enchilada and she got a chicken. Would have returned it, again the server never came back. The food, bland and unappetizing. We didn't finish our meal. The chips are store bought and placed under a heat lamp to harden. We went here because I saw it was 4+ stars and had a quote, "Best Mexican food." Taco Bell is better Mexican food then this place. If you are in Albany, and want Mexican food, save your money and go to Taco Bell. read more

Awesome drinks, great food! Came with a party of 16 and they were super accommodating! Great customer service! The enchilada plate, shrimp fajitas, and hard shell tacos were tasty. The orange/carrot juice was fresh and refreshing! read more

Taqueria Alonzo - Shrimp Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Albany, Oregon

I had a regular asada burrito. The person who took my order was friendly and attentive. There's a plethora of imported latin american goods such as chips and candy that can only be found in few places in Albany. Authentic is written on the walls as you walk in and the ambiance of the restaurant certainly feels like a traditional Mexican restaurant. I won't say the food quality is top notch, but it is by far one of the better choices when compared to a majority of Mexican restaurants in Albany. read more

This place is phenomenal! Phe-no-me-nal! The food is delicious, the staff is attentive and personable, and the environment is vibrant. My guy says the french fries are "the best hes had" and for me I love the caldo de pollo soup. There is also fun Mexican candy and churros as well. The portions are huge and youll definitely have leftovers to take home. Also took my nieces here, and they absolutely love it. It is located inside the Two Rivers market... read more

The most mediocre Mexican meal I can ever remember having. The chips I think are deep-fried tortillas; store-bought are far superior, and the two accompanying salsas were tasteless. The protocols are not clear to first-time customers. The cashier's station says "place orders here" but if you seat yourself you will be brought menus and have the attention of a waitress. Noise level is NOT average; the acoustics and atmosphere are that of a warehouse. Very nice staff. The Two Rivers mini-mall is an interesting concept and overall I hope it makes it. Senior-friendly, OK for regulars who have perfected their menu preferences and who support the businesses in Old Town, as I (ideally) wish to do. Not OK for travellers passing through who want to have a good Mexican dining experience. read more

Delicious affordable Mexican food, customer service is so friendly and fast! Big portions too, will definitely be coming back!

Authentic Mexican Food in Albany! It was a cold, rainy, almost winter day and I was craving Caldo de Res. Taqueria Alonzo's 'hit the spot' but the real star of the meal was my Dad's Chile Relleno. read more

This place was just alright to me. Pretty mediocre. I ordered a chili rellenos which came with a side of rice and beans, and ordered an al pastor taco on the side as well. In total, I spent around $11 or so which seemed kind of high for the amount and quality of the food that I was served. The pepper, while deep fried, tasted very soft and doughy. It was not crisp at all. It was hard to cut and the cheese on the inside was very watered down by the pepper. This item was hard to eat. The al pastor taco was alright. The meat was all minced up and did not have much flavor to it. While the taco was good, I have definitely had better. I would personally rather go to the Rigoberto's near by. Not a huge fan of Taqueria Alonzo. I had good service here but overall the food quality was not satisfying for me and I know I can find better Mexican food. read more

I went here last night and had a great time! I ordered the shredded chicken tacos. These are absolutely the best tacos I had! Lots of flavor and a great value! They did not stinge on the ingredients. The tacos are full of meat and ingredients! We had great service and a very nice waitress! I am a reoccurring customer and always get the same satisfaction from this restaurant! read more

Upon our server arriving at our table, I asked if the food was fresh. She answered "yes". We were delighted and excited for our food to be brought to us. My dad ordered the chili relleno and tamale dinner and I ordered steak enchiladas. It was terrible. Dads food had been frozen and then microwaved be fore it was brought to the table. It was so damn hot that it burned his mouth. The seeds were not removed which caused it to be extremely spicy. The steak in my enchiladas was tiny and hard. I'm so very disappointed. This was not the first bad experience I've had here. I do not recommend eating here. read more

We ordered takeout on Mother's Day. They had it ready in 15 minutes. It was hot, fresh and delicious. The salsa was great, and everyone loved their meals. So glad that they are close by. read more

I judge mexican food on their tacos, salsas, juices and flan. I eat here when I am looking for something easy and quick. I go perhaps 20 times a year. This place screams FRESH! This place rocks it out. They are fast, clean, flavorful, with a huge menu. There are specials on the weekend like octopus cocktail, etc. But the tacos are great. I recommend the carnitas. Simple little taco on a double corn tortilla, fried port and with fresh pico de gallo on top, just like you would get south of the border, I have lived there. They always start with chips and salsa for everyone with fresh salsa. Chips are warm and crisp. Authentic. Friends give the burritos a thumbs up. THey are big. The flan is made by them and yummy. They usually have orchata and hibiscus juice. Also a good selection of Jarritos sodas and mexican beers. The dining room is big and setup for groups. They do take out and I have ordered for groups as large as 20 for takeout. They sent me home with a whole flan in their pan which I later returned. They are chill like that. Waiter service only at night. Cheap pricing. read more

My brother visiting from Austin Texas was in the mood for great Mexican food... So of course I took him to the best, Taqueria Alonzo. Even on a dark, drizzly day on a Monday in Albany, this place was busy! We still got great service, hot, fast and very fresh food. Their chips are so yummy and crunchy. Love them! My brother ordered a Chimichanga and ate every last bite, which is pretty amazing considering how humongous it was. We got a lot for the money and I read about the great happy hour too! 4pm - 6pm every day discounted drinks. read more

Did...did y'all start microwaving your food? We used to come in all the time but then quality just started to dwindle. And the food honestly felt and tasted as if it had been zapped in the microwave. Please get better, we miss you! read more

You must go and just order the street tacos they are fabulous. We go at lunch and order 3 each and then order a plate of rice and beans to share. It is the best!!! The salsa is great and has wonderful flavor. The service is good and the quantity will always fill you up. I hope it's not un- PC to say that I love ordering my Mexican food from people who speak Spanish. It seems to add to the real ness of the food and speaks to it's authentic ness. Everyone there is pleasant and hard working !! Love supporting shops like this read more

I adore this place. I'm a fajitas junkie, so I'm not too hard to impress. Their spread is fresh and well seasoned. The margarita options are great and refreshing. I do wish it was easier to get a second one. The service is okay. A little spotty at times to say the least but the food is worth it. read more

We've lived in west Albany for 8 years and just discovered this place. They are in two rivers market. The very best Mexican food we have ever eaten. Home made thick tortilla chips and 2 varieties salsa fresh daily.. Lots of diced fresh tomatoes and super flavor. Sent a tip back to the cook, he knows his Mexican food! The customer service is also tops! We don't write many reviews but this one deserves a five star for sure. Matt and Sandy read more

I have always had great service here and they have the best food. They're salsa and chips are always fresh and there's always plenty of good seating. read more

My husband and I visited yesterday and got some incredible food for takeout! My super quesadilla was one of the most delicious I've ever had; the shredded pork was seasoned to perfection. Husband loved his enchilada as well. We will be back again soon! read more

One of our favorite Mexican stops. Period. My wife really enjoys the veggie burrito, the al pastor is to die for. I suggest the super giant quesadilla al pastor. Service is awesome, these waitresses have been there for years and always interact with our children like family. Muy bien mis amigas! read more

Wonderful traditional Mexican food with fun extras like fresh squeezed orange and carrot juice. The serving sizes are large. Order fajitas and get enough for two and another meal at home. Friendly and attentive staff that has been with the family for years. read more

Get the pork taco plate, even Anthony Bourdain would fantasize about them. The meat is crispy, favorful and filling...not to mention cheap!

I love this place. Food is great, staff are friendly and pleasant, and they make the best chicken soup I have ever had!!

Only because I can't rate 0 stars, not only did I get food poisoning , but the center of my food was cold! It was so bad I had to open a yelp account to warn others! Not sure if it was the old salsa or the meat but I immediately felt ILL, also my husband got Menudo because that his absolute favorite and it was so old I could tell because we are so used to authentic good menudo (also he found a piece of plastic in it) and this was far from that!! Waitress was nice so that's good! This is just Muchas Gracias with a dress. I've tried it plenty of times now when I come to visit my brother since his wife likes this food (don't know why) want my advice ..... Tequilas restaurant is a bit better, not perfect but better. No food poisoning from there as far as I know. read more

Well I got the shredded steak chimichanga and a couple pork tacos. Chimichanga was ok under seasoned though. But the pork tacos with cheese were great. So I'll go back again to give them a second go. Fast to go service! read more

My husband loves this place. It's very authentic Mexican food. You can get Mexican beer here as well and not the usual that you see everywhere. The blackberry margarita is a nice twist on an Oregon/Mexican beverage. Try the chili verde pork plate, steak ranchero (steak is in strips), enchiladas, burritos or anything with the shredded chicken. The chips are fresh made as well as the salsa. The service has always been really friendly every time we have been in. read more

I hate this place. It's way too expensive for the limited stuff they give you. Example: chicken taco salad.... No cheese or beans or tomatoes. Carne Asada burrito... No cheese, beans, or anything really. Super Nachos...... No tomatoes, beans, olives, onions, or jalapeno. What the hell..... All of these items $8 to $11... And their service sucks read more

Kind of A mix review. Tacos are still very good and huge .Service was fast but bad for the first time here. Once we ordered and were severed,never came back to ask if everything was okay,would we like anything else.And the restaurant was desocupado. Prices are up on a lot of items.The rice and bean and chips portions are way smaller. Was not over charged,but no receipt again. Time to try another Mexican restaurant in Albany. read more

Lady tried telling my husband that I wouldn't want menudo because Americans don't eat things like tripe. Very inappropriate and uncalled for! read more

The chips and salsa were FANTASTIC. Thick, crunchy chips with absolutely delicious salsa. I only give three stars because the vegetarian burrito was nothing special. The tortilla was gooey and tasteless (I prefer wheat tortillas for the fuller taste and texture). The beans and guac did not stand out. It just tasted alright. read more

Good spot to eat when in town. Staff is nice and they are very efficient. They have some awesome salsas and a good lunch crowd.
