Albertaco's Riverside Reviews
Delicious Food with friendly service. They have weekend menudo also. I ordered a second plate to go afterwards.
Loved the Birria Ramen. Great food and great service!! 😎

My husband loves this place in the evenings only. The cooks in the morning or mid day don’t cook the same. We love the bean and cheese burrito with enchilada sauce and the cheese quesadilla well done.
Mission viejo burrito is a masterpiece. Staff is kind and helpful. Kids food is great too. Prices are reasonable. We take the food to go usually.
Good food and fast service. I'm there almost every day 😁
I only went through the drive-thru but the food was amazing and very reasonably priced compared to all the other restaurants in the area highly recommended
Not sure where the negative reviews are coming from, but I've never had an issue here. I come here all the time for my Lunch Break and for dinner on the weekends as well. The cashiers are always friendly and accommodate my every request. I've had their Menudo, various Combo Plates, Burritos, Flying Chicken Saucer and each dish is always delicious. For a fast food Mexican place they sure hit the spot 👌
Food is delicious and fresh. This is definitely the obit place in the area where you can real food past 11 pm and I am forever grateful for that option! (Decent amount of vegetarian options and a few vegan options as well)
I love Albertaco's. The Riverside location is a little different compared to the Moreno Valley location. The food quality and taste is very good at the Riverside location and they have a wider coffee selection. I ordered the nachos and it was so delicious 😋 Definitely coming back for breakfast and their fresh cafecita 😍

Food is okay, not bad, not good, but okay. The meat needed some kind of seasoning. Things were pretty bland. The amount of guacamole is too much. Even tho we requested none on our food because my husband is allergic to avocado, there was still a lot on it. Luckily, we were able to switch plates. He had mine, and i had his to avoid driving back. Also, the amount of cheese is way too much. He pulled out so much cheese from the tacos that it was overpowering.
We have been waiting for this place to open for a couple of years now and we were very disappointed, I will definitely give them a learning curve because they’ve only been open for three or four days but I was very disappointed the beans and rice were dry and they did not get my order right but the place was clean and they did try very hard , The employees were definitely very friendly maybe I will wait a couple months after they get everything in order and try again eat local, buy local and spend local

This location is literally 2 blocks from my house, so the wife and decide to stop on our way home. The building and parking lot are very nice, it's all brand new. The inside echos a lot but not a deal breaker. What is a deal breaker is guy in the kitchen area that is mixing Pico de Gallo with his bare hands and squeezing what's left on his hand into the container. Also since this is our first time ordering here we kept it simple, 5 piece rolled tacos. Which were still cold in the middle and I had to warm up at home. Not sure if we will go back. I'm not huge at writing reviews, but this was very disappointing.

I went through their drive through and service was good, friendly. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. The rice and beans were lukewarm not hot, the rice was dry. The enchiladas were okay. My kids got the chicken tenders and fries which were not very good either. Disappointing because it’s a great location and new. They need to rehaul that kitchen.
The salsa’s in the little packets are disgusting, they taste old like they were left out in the sun. They ruined the food for me they had a dirty water bland taste Jamaica was standard The three Crunchy taco’s (two chicken)(1 beef) were standard and little on the bland side. Meat could use a little salt Beans and rice were bland standard sides could use some love tbh I’m working in the rain and i ate the whole thing cause I was hungry but honestly the food was just bland and the Salsa was garbage, they should check the expiration date. Customer service was a little slow but it’s no big deal tbh. I rarely write reviews but once i tasted that mild green salsa and how bad it tasted i felt compelled to write one. Ill try again maybe one day to give them another shot. Almost forgot i ordered a side of guac and it was bland but it wasn’t the worse I’ve had. It just feels like they need to add salt and limon etc to stuff to make it better. Avoid the salsa in the packets or at least taste test them first before putting on your food

Came here and ordered a Cyprus CA burrito with bean and rice, five churros one of each kind and left with a bacon, egg, and fry burrito and 5 plain churros
New spot that just opened up near downtown Riverside. They have a drive thru & dine in. Not sure of the hours but I hope it's 24 hours since there's nothing in the area that's good Mexican food open 24/7. Couple issues right away... 1) Menu prices are very strange...they end in $13.42, $1.17, $7.63, and you get "4% Discount if you pay cash". 2) Customer service is non existent at the drive thru. No greeting. 3) They charge a $.50 fee to card transactions without telling you or having any signs posted. 4) Prices on the receipt dont match prices on the menu. 5) Found a avocado STICKER in my food. Food was very good. VERY good. No issues there. Plenty of flavor. Sauces were good. Side of limes were fresh & juicy. Wish the meat was a little hotter. No biggie. I hope they get it together very soon before it's too late. I really like Albertaco's and this is the closest location to me. I'll try a 2nd & 3rd chance, after that no more. Keeping my fingers crossed for improvement.
Well I've been going to the one in Moreno Valley for years almost always good, so I decided to try this place on my way to work, very disappointed the Carne Asada tasted old, couldn't eat it, actually kinda made me sick to my stomach, I guess I'll just stick to the one by my house.
I always past by here finally decided to stop by for a burrito service was slow only one in Drive-Thru and gentleman wasn’t very friendly l. I just ordered a breakfast burrito and coffee. Burnt nasty tasting burrito I’ve ever ordered and in this world to charge nearly $7 for a burnt breakfast burrito.

You guys raised your prices and the. Lower the quality of the food and just the quality overall to the customers. Don’t even wrap the whole burrito just throw it in the bag. Like can you get paper that actually fits like if your gonna raise the prices then ther food should BETTER THAN BEFORE AND SERVED WITH BETTER QUALITY MATERIAL
Ordered a carne asada burrito, picked up the bag and felt like there was only napkins in it. Unfortunately there was a "carne asada burrito" the size of a taco. SMH. Now I got to order from Del taco

I went to get asada fries the lady kept acting like she can't hear me . I got my food and my fries not cooked all the way and so much oil they had no flavor it's so disappointing when your craving something and the half ass cook your food. I'll never go back.
