They refused to make a burrito with both ham and bacon? I was going and willing to pay extra but they said the cook refuses to make them that way? Interesting at least the lady was very apologetic but still you’re a food place I would think I can buy a breakfast burrito with ham and bacon in it? Never heard of a place refusing to make you food when they are in the food business it’s rather funny.

Had the worst experience ever. I never write 1 star reviews unless I encounter workers who intentionally belittle or offend me for their own benefits or enjoyment. It’s almost sad what an insecure asshole this guy was.
Im not from socal but whenever I visit I always stop by albertos for their delicious fries. Unfortunely…
Tonight we had to deal with one of the rudest employee I’ve come across. We order and pay for our food at the drive thru window. &Because we’re not from here, we tend to be on our phones snapchatting and instagramming everything. The guy at the window thought my boyfriend was taking a picture of him when he was actually taking a picture of the chimichanga burrito they put up next to the window. The worker gets SO offended that he walks away from the window and completely has his back turned towards us. He left the window opened so I yelled «excuse me!» 3 times for green sauce. Still ignoring me. At this point I get heated because he’s ignoring us on purpose over NOTHING.
At this point its not about the sauce its about how we were being treated and we are not the type to tolerate that. The worker walks over to defend himself and says we were trying to take a picture of him… I mean what are we gonna do with a picture of you. We go on to explain that we werent taking a picture of him and ask for our sauce. He says «1 dollar!» I say «No. ive been here many times &you guys never charged for sauce.»
1. Dont try to single us out.
2. Dont bring your insecurities and attitude to work.
They start a scene with us, and we responded back. The other worker pointed at their cameras sayin its recording everything, but im actually glad it was because who’s really being the asshole here? All we wanted was some extra sauce. We ended up putting down a dollar for something that’s supposed to free along with a really bad taste in our mouths. Really hot headed workers here.

This place is the spot super good love there California burrito there super nachos and asada fries are all so mouth watering you can’t go wrong with this place even there sopes are too good

Drove an hour just to come get my shrimp burrito!
Never disappoints.
Got a carnitas taco thinking it’d be small as an appetizer and it was huge and delicious!
I don’t mind going out of my way just to have my shrimp burrito every once and a while.

Eww, this place is dirty. I found a piece of plastic in my food. It might be the wrapper to something. I’ve been coming here for years but I’m pretty sure I will not be back. They’ve hired these ghetto looking cholas that probably doesn’t care if the place is clean. It really went down hill.

Great taste at an affordable price. I would get 5 starts but the place is way too small

For a tiny location, this place is alwayed packed. Even at the random times like 2−3AM I usually get the Super Fries, which is Fries packed with Carne Asada, Guacamole, Sour Cream, and Beans and topped off with cheese. Even though the place is packed it doesn’t take too long to receive your order. They do accept credit cards, but there is a small fee and no minimum requirement. They don’t have a visible sign stating they charge you more, but I notice the price is different when I pay cash and credit and I am ordering the same items.

I used to go to the Alberto’s at el Monte. However, they removed super fries and charge mini fries as the same rate as super fries I was disappointed. Is further distances, but its worth the drive!

I was having these really bad cravings for cheese fries and decided to come here on a late night run. The guy working the register was really nice; my boyfriend asked for 6 more containers of hot sauce and the guy didn’t even charge him for it. I remember I went to the Alfredo’s on Santa Anita and they charge $ 1 whenever I ask them for extra sauce –_​_​_​_​– and they give you the puny containers too. This place gives you the big hot sauce containers!
They give a gang of meat when you order carne asada fries, but we asked for the meat on the side since I can’t eat it. Their cheese fries are yummy, I love how it melts into the fries. Next time I will try their burritos!

Love this place … Tried for the first time, my husband & I shared a wet burrito my daughter had there super nachos which she could have shared with a second person … Huge serving portion. We were definitely satisfied even with both of the girls that work there.

It’s small place. The food is alright. I guess the only good food here is the super fries or super nachos. Other than that the tacos and burritos are ok.
It’s not the inviting, the colors of the building doesn’t have good vibe.
It’s not like your typical restaurants. This more like you come oder your food and leave. So basically it’s like a fast food joint.

Guy on drive thru, rude as hell! Literally screamed at me because I couldn’t hear a damn word he was saying on their cheap ass speakers. And it’s not his first time being rude. Very impatient guy. I seen a previous review with that guys picture so I’m assuming I’m not the only with that problem. Salsas aren’t great. Guacamole tastes old. Not visiting this place any more. At least not this location. Nope

Alberto’s restaurants seem to understand – as evidenced by their menu, hours, and prices – what Mexican fast food should be. There is a purity of heart in their approach: the carne asada burrito has… Wait for it… Carne asada, pico, guac… And that’s it. Three rolled taquitos with cheese and guacamole are simply smothered in both ingredients. The large drink doesn’t fit in most cup holders, and could be used as a bucket for water dropping helicopters. No beans and rice fillers, here.
While I don’t frequent this location, it is nice to have when I’m in the area. They take cards and cash without preference or prejudice, and the lady working the window is always nice.
Do not blink as you head south on Peck rd. or you’ll miss it. West side of the street just north of Ramona. And if you do pass it, head over to Valley and Santa Anita for an equally fine Mexican fast food experience, 24 hours a day.
Carne asada burritos… It’s what’s for dinner.

If you are hungry and don’t want to break the bank
Come here their minifries are the best.

Me and my best friend went there to buy a late night snack and I just saw the cashier eating inside the restaurant then we order our food and the guy forgot the amount that it was going to charge us and he was really stress out for charge us in a credit card

Dirty little dump with huge delicious food.
Come here hungry, it’s all good, it’s all big, too.
Either order food you can eat with your hands or take it home, the plastic forks are the worst I have ever seen.
Good luck!

Count your change before you leave. I was short 1 cent. Ya its a penny but what if a dime, quarter. Now say at least 500 customers a day. Do the math that’s a lot of cash going in someone pocket not yours.

Ok food. Terrible service. First time there, last time too. Going back to Alfredo’s, at least their paisas don’t think they’re gangsters.
The guy who took my order needs to be re trained in customer service. Poor people skills is an understatement. He was rude on the speaker and spoke under his breath when I asked for a minute to look at the menu. He then made me wait another minute once I was ready and didn’t respond back and all I got was silence. Finally at the window he would not stop starring at me while I waited for my food in what he thought was his intimidating gangster stare. He’s not even a gangster.
The one star is mandatory and acceptable since he got my order right. I’m posting a picture of this looser so his boss can see who’s ruining his business.

Alberto’s serves some of the nastiest Mexican food I have ever fucking had. I should have known better because anyplace that has to call itself authentic, usually ends up being the total opposite. ¡Que lástima!
I ended up in El Monte for work and decided to go to Alberto’s because my dumbass contractor recommended it. Let’s just say that I want to punch his face right now while writing this review.
Anyways, let me cut to the chase and tell you everything wrong about this place because there is absolutely nothing good.
First of all, the parking sucks because of the weird ass drive-​thru and irregularly-​shaped lot that the restaurant is built on. Next, the building is a 542-​square foot «hut» with very limited countertop seating so you need to eat outside at one of the picnic tables adjacent to the parking lot. Also, there are way too many food items and combinations that had me wondering how can they actually make this shit fresh? And once you can figure out what you want, you will be greeted by the angriest cashier lady this side of the border. As for the food? Well it was whack.
After much deliberation and trying to figure out what to order I decided to play it safe and ended up ordering four regular-​sized tacos: two carne asada and two adobada (marinated pork). Yes, I ordered pork despite the chance of getting neurocysticercosis (a condition caused by eating undercooked pork where parasites invade your body and attack your brain).
When my order was ready, to my surprise I saw that the tacos were gigantic. Two tacos filled an entire styrofoam to-​go box… Normally, more food would be good, but unfortunately, more disgusting food is definitely not good. The only other times I have felt that too much food was bad were when I’d go to a buffet and sit down with a plate of food to realize that everything on the plate tasted like shit or when I’d go to my now deceased grandma’s house to eat (let’s just say that she was never a good cook to begin with but as she grew older it became noticeably worse — even with the use of MSG).
So back to the tacos… the carne asada tasted pre-​cooked and was way too sinewy, which is a sign of cheap cuts of meat. Furthermore, there was no flavor to the meat other than the so-​so guacamole sauce, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. As for the adobada, let’s just say that it was adoBADa. Similar to the carne asada meat, the adobada was sinewy. The pork appeared to have been cooked in a meh-​diocre tomato-​bisque kind of sauce that was topped with the same so-​so guacamole sauce, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
Sometimes when the tacos suck, the salsas can come to the rescue like King Taco across the street. Too bad I hate King Taco as well. As for Alberto’s, their salsas are god-​awful. The salsa roja was like the tomato-​bisque sauce used to marinate the adobada. The only comparison I could make is that it reminded me of the sauce provided at Salvadoran pupuserias. No spicy-​factor whatsoever… and I thought this place was supposed to be authentic Mexican! Where the fuck was the caliente?
The salsa verde was a little better, but a little better than shit is still pretty shitty. I mean, it seemed to be a tomatillo-​based sauce, but it lacked any depth to its flavors. To be frank, a part of me wanted to run across the street to the Mexican market to get a bottle of Tapatio to replace the salsa roja and to get some limes to try and rescue the salsa verde.
In the end I ended up eating one of each taco and throwing away the remaining two. All I can say is that this place serves some really nasty «authentic» Meh-ican/Mexi-can’t crap.

And what is up with that tree house next door that is like a disaster waiting to happen. I can imagine kids being impaled.
