Everything about this place is great, the service, the friendliness, the cleanliness, the quantity for the price and the quality. I ordered two fish tacos this most recent visit thinking they would be small but they were so huge I could barely finish one and had to take the other home to have for lunch the next day. Last time I was here I got the three rolled tacos. They were generous with the meat and delicious with tons of guacamole and cheese on top.

Ive been going to Albert’s for over a decade and went out of my way to go there today, I ordered a chile relleno burrito and instead received a rice burrito with a pretty weak chile relleno in it. 70% rice in a burrito is a rice burrito, that’s a lotta rice, it wasn’t bad if that was what I ordered but I didnt. Kinda salty. Update: it’s gotten a lot better, it’s a great place to take the kids. They get menchees and I get tacos!
