“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...“

Callos La Rosca Compton Mexican • $$
15413 Atlantic Ave, Compton

“If you know, you know—this spot kills it when it comes to mariscos. The ceviche is super fresh, packed with flavor, and the aguachile? Straight-up addicting. Heat, lime, crunch—everything you want in every bite.

Do yourself a favor and try the Dos Banderas plate. It’s bomb. Two styles, one plate, and somehow both slap equally hard.

Service is always on point, the vibes are chill, and it’s clear they care about the quality. Easily my go-to when that marisco craving hits.

Highly recommend—this place deserves all the love.“

The chicken was good and had good flavor, the tamales have carrots, potatoes and peas inside. The pork though, it was pretty dry. The champurrado was really good. For a tamale fix I definitely recommend.“

“This place is the best!! Both Mexican and Chinese menus are so good!! I got the hibiscus steak burrito, orange nuggets, and habanero wings. The wings were the highlight, i haven't had anything this good outside of Thailand. I love the sugarcane 'bones 'in the wings, and their sauces are top notch. Aguafresca is also on point, don't skip it! They have matcha horchata, too. They have almond cookies that are not vegan but still very good. The vegan carrot cake was INCREDIBLE, I have not encountered carrot cake this flavorful anywhere. The staff were so sweet, and clearly really care about their customers. < 3 I got an order of chilequiles for breakfast tomorrow, super happy to encounter really nice vegan breakfast! I wish they had a cookbook so I could recreate this in Seattle“

“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.“

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.“

“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. ??“

“The birria burrito was ok. The birria meat tasted a little bit awkward. I'm not sure what it was. Maybe it's the water rising or washing of the cooking pot that made it taste a little bit awkward or something in the cooking process of it. It did not upset my stomach. I have eaten birria in other places that have really good taste. This is not the best birria I have eaten, but it was ok. The pineapple juice 🍍 was really good. I still appreciate the service here 🙏.

If you want authentic tasting pupusas or Salvadoran food this would be the place to eat.
