Great mexican food, definitely a go to if you're in the area. It's a great change from jilibertos which have a monopoly type set up in valley center. Plus the burritos are at a great price! 10!
First time trying this place and even though I didn't love my burrito I would try it again. I asked for a chile relleno burrito but I didn't know it would have guacamole in it and to be honest, I love guacamole with all my heart but it doesn't go well with chile relleno! It should be tortilla, chile and lots of cheese, that's it. My bf got a breakfast burrito, I believe it had bacon, egg and maybe potatoes and he loved it. Burritos are huge, by the way. Totally recommend just request no guac on your chile relleno burrito haha.
I go here all the time, their foods great, the cashiers are awesome and whether you are a local craving some mexican food or a tourist, this place can be a go to or a highly recommended location to get a taste of socals reputation for mexican food! Their salsa games on point! I don't skip a meal without adding their red and green to it

Best Mexican fast food ever! We traveled 2000 miles for it!
I come here for this dish. I use to live down the street, and now live in East SD. It has been my favorite for 32 years!!! Chips n Guacamole is amazing
Had fish burrito and rolled tacos with guacamole. Portions are excellent and food tastes great. Super nice staff.
Best carne asada burritos and rolled tacos with cheese and quacamole. I moved to the Bay Area 18 years ago and have missed Albertos so much. I remember many late nights eating at the outside tables or in my car after going through tge drive thru.
