Reviews for Alberto's Mexican Food in Oceanside, CA

Guy at the register super rude. I asked for no onion or cilantro and I got onion and cilantro.

Terrible, terrible food. Terrible, unfriendly service. Very unclean bathroom. Can?t imagine what the kitchen is like. Back door... is often left open. Used to frequent here when it first opened. Over the years the food and service have gotten steadily bad toworse. It doesn?t help that homeless vagrants loiter and panhandle in the area. I won?t be coming back to this taco shop. Thereare better Mexican food options over the two bridges. The fish tacos did me in. Must have been frozen for a LONG time forAlberto?s to have a special on fish tacos. Read more

Passing through the area while heading to the park and wanted to grab a bite, so I stopped by Alberto?s Mexican Food which was... nearby. Alberto?s Mexican Food is located just off of North River Rd. in Oceanside, Ca. It is in a shopping plaza that has afew other franchise eateries and a Dollar Store. Parking in this plaza is rather limited, but thank goodness that most of thetraffic comes and goes pretty quickly. Alberto?s is a good spot to stop by and pick up lunch or even grab some plates To-Go ifyou live in the area. Due to its size and limited seating available, I would not recommend this place to bring a date or toimpress someone. The interior is clean and leans towards a ?hole in the wall? Mexican diner. It?s a little crammed and not greatfor groups, but instead, favors a customer who just wants to eat & go. Where Alberto?s Mexican Food shines is theirportions. At first I was taken aback by their prices; it was $3.50 for a carnitas taco alone. But when I saw the size of thetaco, I understood why the pricing. This IS NOT a street taco place. The taco WILL NOT fit in your hand! For me, one taco wasgood enough and thank goodness I didn?t order any sides (I was stuffed). They also had a great fish taco Special Deal for $5(plus tax). Their fish tacos were crispy, cooked through and still tender and seasoned decently. There was also an abundance ofof shredded lettuce, tomato?s, green onions and a nice sauce. I would recommended adding that squeeze of lime and a few dashesof their house hot-sauce to add that zing! They carry an assortment of favorite drinks, including: Jamaica, Horchata andTamarindo and their medium cup size is perfect. Overall, I can recommend Alberto?s Mexican Food for a good sizeable plate ofauthentic Mexican food. Don?t go there thinking to get some small street tacos for $2. Their portions are great and reasonablypriced for the size. Read more

This was my first time back since 2015 (been living on the east coast) and it?s nice to see the place hasn?t changed. The... California Burrito paired with a Mexican Coke ($13)?absolutely delicious and a great source of calories (1,380) and protein(76g). Cheers, y?all. ???? Read more

Store states they are open at 9AM. Showed up at 920AM and the doors were locked. Not the first time this has happened. They need... to edit their hours online or actually open when they say they are open. Love their breakfast burritos but this store is notworth the hassle. Taking my business elsewhere. Read more

Mexican food chain in San Diego area: food was very good and you get a lot of it. Don't go if you want a light snack! Prices... seem a little high until you see what they give you. I had the 2 beef burritos meal and the beef was so tasty (not hamburgerbut real beef). Did not like their spicy red salsa but really liked the verde. Ate outside in the sunshine on their patio. Iwas stuffed! Read more

I was their customer for 2 years but I never back here. Cashier is always tired and don't like do her work. I ordered a Carna... Asada Fries. She didn't ask me it's to go or for here. They made it for to go. When I tried to eat, it was cold; at least for30 minutes ago. I told them and they changed it. Chef gave me another one. That meat wasn't like Carne Asada and it was sosalty. I couldn't it it and I never want see them again. Read more
