“It has been almost thirty years since I've been to Albertios. I found this location by total accident. Longer than 30 years ago, I was working with local bands inSanDiego, and after wrapping everything up, we'd go to Albertos or Robertos, and I thought about this while I was eating. All locations are designed the same, same menu and omg... the hotel carrots are still awesome. Of course, today, the prices have increased, but the food was soooo worth it. Ty for awesome food and bringing back some great memories...“

“This is my go to spot whenever I am in the area. I always get a carnitas (mixto) burrito which is: mazisa, cuerito and buche. It is amazing!!! My wife loves the chile relleno burrito, especially because they clean it out completely (remove all of the seeds) prior to stuffing it. There's nothing fancy about this place or the surrounding area but with the flavor levels being off of the charts it's worth a try if you're in the mood for carnitas. They also have other guisados like: chile Verde, chile colorado, costillas con chile verde just to name a few. This is truly a Mexican Soul food spot and they have Mexican sodas. Dining in is standing at the counter like in some taquerias. No seating available. Parking can be challenging but it always works out.“

I'm currently hooked on their super tostada salad with shredded beef and I add extra rice with everything on it. I also get there tacos special for my husband and son. I've been going to this place for well over 4 years. It has never failed me. Service is quick and you get so much food for a great price. Come prepared to not finish your food. It's a lot. Lol but in a good way.

“Maybe I had the wrong meal, Chile verde plate. The tortillas get 6 stars if it was possible, they're amazing!!!! The pork or chile was missing flavor, and refried beans were too runny. The tortillas saved the meal and their hot sauce is made with habaneros that gave flavor to the chile verse. Been here before but I dont recall what I had. My niece who's 2 1/2 had the pancakes and they were bland, so much that she only had a bite or two and that was it for her.“

“Good pan dulce, good burritos, and excellent bolillos and beans. The burritos are good but they only put 2-3 ingredients, for example if you order a carne asada burrito it’s only like carne asada beans and slasa. I can’t remember the exact ingredients, but don’t expect pico de gallo, rice, guacamole, sour cream, etc. Nonetheless, the burritos are tasty. My recommendation is the bolillos and the beans, that’s where this place truly shines. Parking is a bit iffy, it’s located right at the corner of a somewhat busy intersection, so be careful.“

Long story short I had no clue what to order. Gentleman at the window was soo helpful and patient in helping me, the señoras are cooking in the truck so we knew it was going to be good. Anyway my dad loved it, and I tried it and I really enjoyed it. Just be careful with parking the lot they are by was full and and I parked on a side street and I totally missed the sign and got a big fat ticket. ??“

Tacos 20/20 Mexican •
19618 S Susana Rd, Compton

“?? MÉXICO (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - No matter which of the two orders (bistec/cecina) you choose, your tacos look very simple when they are handed to you, a tortilla with one thin cut of meat on it. It is up to you to dress it up as desired, and they have all the options you could ever want. What seems like a simple operation starts to get much more complex the more you look as three or four homemade salsas are around, a pot of black beans is available for customers as well as some grilled onions in addition to the diced cebolla y cilantro.“
