Alberto’s Mexican Cuisine

This was one of the most frustrating dining experiences I’ve had. We waited over an hour for a table for three, repeatedly being told we were “almost up.” Only after our wait ended did the host tell us they don’t seat parties smaller than four — information that would have completely changed our decision to stay, but was never mentioned beforehand. On top of the poor communication, the prices are unreasonable (over $8 just for chips and salsa), and the food itself was average at best. Not worth the frustration, time, or cost.

I wanted to like this place. Big Sky doesn’t have endless late-night options, so a Mexican spot after a day in the mountains seemed like an easy win. Unfortunately the service was pretty inattentive and slow, and at times it felt like our table had simply vanished from the staff’s memory. When the bill came, things got more interesting. Our food and drinks had been double charged, which we had to point out and sort through ourselves. On top of that, there was mandatory gratuity on a takeout order, which was a new one for me. The real standout, though, was the side sauces. A few small cups somehow added up to about $12 in extra charges, which makes them some of the most valuable liquids in Big Sky outside of the whiskey at the ski bars. Mistakes happen, but between the billing confusion a

Great place to have Mexican food and a couple Margaritas. Side note, if you are asked if you’d like chips and salsa….. They do charge for these. Unlike where we come from and many other Mexican food places across the United States we have eaten at where they are complimentary. Our bartender was fantastic! Super attentive and very nice!

Legitimately the slowest service I have ever had in any restaurant ever. Took probably almost 3 hours from start to finish. The food was okay, but nothing that should take that long. When we expressed frustration with the slow service they seemed to dismiss it as they were busy. Not worth it whatsoever.

The evening started out great! Waited in the bar for a table as it was busy, always a good sign. We shared chicken fajitas. After scooping the ingredients onto my plate I saw there was a hair in my food. I showed the waiter my plate with the hair. His first response was to make sure he had served clean side plates for our shared dinner. Yes the side plates were fine but there was an obvious hair on my plate after serving from the platter. He saw the hair on my plate and took the plate away but did not follow up. He later left the check without comment. I asked about it and he said the manager could come by in 15-20 minutes. We ended up paying the check in the bar as neither the waiter or manager ever came to talk to us. We were not looking for a free ride just at least an apology. Sometime
