Customer Reviews
I would recommend coming here for a casual meet up with friends or family. I will admit that myself and my family (4 total) came in on a Wednesday night. Not exactly the same energy that you would expect on a Friday night for any restaurant. Given that, the atmosphere was overall nice and quaint. There is a separate, smaller dining room that is not pictured. That is where they had everyone stuffed into and were not utilizing the main dining area in the front. There were about 5+ other tables of people and they just had us all stuffed away in there together. I'm sure this was to make things easier on their staff. However, sitting everyone away from the massive bar and TV's up front seems like a missed opportunity to remind guests of the extensive drink menu they could be missing out on and
Been coming here for a few years, before the change in ownership. Could rely on “adequate” food, rounded out with strong margaritas. Just came in to try again, as we heard the food had been “updated”. Pleasantly surprised - the food has stepped up, and they have added a few items to the menu, notably the Carne Melt…a fantastic twist on the Philly Cheesesteak. Very fresh and flavorful. I know you won’t expect to see it…or try it…when coming to a traditional Mexican restaurant, but I highly recommend it. Oh…and the margaritas are fantastic …and strong. Be sure to give a smile to the bartender - Roxanne - she’s the best! Nice job, Alberto’s!!
Food was as good as any decent Mexican restaurants and worth the money. Drinks weren’t great though for adults. But kids drinks were good. . Loved their fresh Nacho, was fresh and warm.. loved the sides provided as well. If just 2 we’ll- eaters, then their scrumptious sampler platter is awesome to go for. We were seated outside and the weather was lovely too. Not very crowded, but the restaurant was busy.. 75% full when we went on a Sunday evening.
Had an amazing experience here and a date with my wife. Food was beyond this world and the service was excellent. Food came out within 10 minutes. Going to recommend this place to anyone.
Waited about 20 minutes at the bar with only two other people there. Bartender passed us multiple times and never acknowledged us. No menu's or service so we walked out. On the way out heard other table complaining about the service. Looks like a nice place though.
