“Excelente atención y ricos tacos de barbacoa“

“Great service and food. The chips, salsa n appetizer beans are so yummy. Agua frescas are so good and refreshing. 😃“

“Food flavor is always a 10/10 I just wish the place looked better and had AC. They definitely need to refurbish. If you are in a hurry, order ahead so the food could be ready at pick up. My drive is 10 minutes and its usually ready upon my arrival. Take Cash to avoid the credit card/debit card fee.“

“Ordered Carne Asada fries and a birria burrito. Fries are nice and crispy wedges! Asada was finely chopped and served on top of the wedges with a nice helping of cheese. Consome came with the birria! And they gave me a horchata on the house! Very nice service and delicious food :) $25 and it fed 4 people!“

“Cuando voy a Señor Alberto, yo soy el 👑 Rey !! Gracias Sergio y Staff“

“I grew up here in San Gabriel valley area. Was our spot every Friday night or Sunday morning in the 90s and early 2000 I haven't been there for years. I hope to come and visit soon♥️🥰“

“The service was fast and the lady was very friendly. Delicious food! My children got burritos and chicken tenders. They loved it. My husband got the wet burrito, and it was delicious. I got the camarones a la Diabla, and it reminded me of my grandmas cooking. It was spicy just the way it should be. The lady is from Nayarit, Puerto Vallarta. She spoke to us like we were family, which made the atmosphere very warm and welcoming. The aguas frescas are made from scratch, which is a plus. They serve menudo and pozole daily, which is rare!! So if you are craving those dishes, then come here. Visa and cash accepted. Large parking lot. This restaurant is a gem!! Try it out. It was a little pricey, but I totally recommend it. It was an awesome experience.“

“Wonderful Mexican market that sells fresh warm tortillas and tamales. They also have a full service Mexican restaurant and they serve menudo in the mornings. Got some delicious crispy chicharron and fresh guacamole. Nice wonderful people work here and everyone is friendly.“

“An awesome authentic find! the portions are filling and it tastes delicious 🌮“

“Deliciosa Birria recomendado al 💯“

“The food here is always great. I had the eggcelent burrito, my mom had the three egg scramble, my kids had the Belgian waffles, and the mole. Everything was amazing.
The service wasn't bad, it was just super slow. Seriously, they need more severs as well as batista, even the coffee and mimosas took long to be served. The wait for a table was over 25 minutes in spite of several tables being available due to the staff just not being enough to go around. Poor management is to blame.“
