Alberto's is the real deal, plus it's one of the only places in the Covina area to get some late night food Don't be fooled by the many wannabees that use the red and yellow color scheme and names that kinda sound like Alberto's, they're just not the same.

My girlfriend and I visited Señor Alberto around 2 PM. I was looking forward to it because I had not eaten for about twelve hours, and I have always enjoyed Alberto’s, especially the South Gate location. This was my second visit to this particular shop, and the experience was noticeably different.
The carne asada in my burrito had an unusual amount of tendon, which you can see in the photos. That texture has never been part of my past visits to any Alberto’s, and it stood out immediately. The large taco was acceptable, but the meat looked different and was not cut the way I am used to seeing it.
We also noticed an issue with the fountain drink. It had almost no carbonation, and the syrup was weak, so we ended up buying bottled Coke instead. When we ordered chips and guacamole, we were served nacho chips with guacamole and cheese. That was not what we expected based on previous visits.
The overall visit felt off, and the quality did not match the consistency I have come to expect from other Alberto’s shops. I am hoping the South Gate location does not move in this direction because that store has always delivered reliable food and service for me.

I always loved the chimichanga burritos here but they must have changed cooks. It was terrible! Dry as can be, no moisture from the eggs or meat, overcooked. I'm not going back, tasteless. I gave it to my dog.

Cheese enchilada plate is bad, very soupy. Chicken burrito was bad. Asada burrito was bigger and different for some reason. Asada fries are always killer.

Barely any meat in the burrito. Lady was rude and stingy with the napkins. Burrito fell apart when held. Will never come back and do not recommend this place.

Don’t listen when telling order and rude staff most of the time
Love their rolled tacos. They give you plenty of guacamole on top plus cheese!
