The service is always the best and friendliest you can find. The food... prepared fresh every time is the extra wait. The atmosphere is decent enough, good waiting space for pick up orders, but the dining area could use a little reorganizing. It's kind of difficult getting by seated tables trying to refill a drink or use the restroom. By the way, they are very friendly and gracious about using their restroom... even if you're not buying anything. I'll go back to this place again and again. Thank you, Albert's.

Said they are open until 9pm, I'm here at 8:42pm and they locked the door as I walked up.

Super lame

So im a So Cal native who relocated a few years ago out of state, Albert's was my go to lakeside spot that always has really good food until recently. So basically 2 weeks ago I came into town for a family funeral, after driving 12hrs with my wife and kid we were finally in lakeside walking through the front door of Albert's at 8:40pm before they close at 9pm, just in time right, I order my go to Alexadilla burrito, a burger and fries for my kid and my wife some mini tacos, there card reader wasn't working, no problem I had cash, we paid and waited, two more customers come in right before 9pm and ordered food, its 9:10pm at this point and the other two customers who came in after us get there food before us, then the young girl and guy behind the register start arguing in spanish, little do they know my white a$$ speaks spanish and the young girl tells they guy " you gave his burrito to wrong customer". Now im sitting there with my wife and my son, I look at the guy and he says "sorry man something happened with your order and the cooks dont want to make your burrito because they already cleaner the griddle, ill refund your money, but they made the tacos and burger with fries", keep in mind we have now waited over 30mins, im calm and cool and tell him its ok, things happen, now im expecting a full refund for the meal right, do right by the customer, nope he gives me the exact amount back for just the burrito, he didn't even give me back the tax I paid for it, im pissed at this point but what can I do, I grab the bag so at least my kid and wife can eat, I have never had service like that before, ever, anywhere, I took my $14 and drove off. I don't post 1 star reviews unless its deserved and this one warranted me to do so, I have eaten here probably 30 times and this time I was done dirty, I made sure to tell all my family and friends about this while I was in town and all of them were shocked, normally the service here is on point but I wont ever come back here when im in town.

The Casher has a RBF with big attitude. If they improve their costumer service I would give them 5 stars.
The cashier had no name-tag. 40 year old hispanic, 5”7’ extra heavy
