Reviews for Adalberto's Mexican Food in San Diego, CA

First of all, the Carne Asada Torta COMES WITH FRIES!?! Seriously?!? I couldn't take pics of the fries because I ate them on the... way home, there's only half of the Torta because when I got home, I sat in my driveway and ate the other half...O.M.G.absolutely the best Carne Asada Torta I've EVER had, I'll gladly drive from Alpine where there's 7 Mexican restaurants, pastanother 100 or so, just to get THIS Torta...AHHHHMAZING for real! Next let's talk about Lucio & Uvia, please forgive me if Imisspelled either of your names because you're the nicest people ever, I'd come back just because of you even if the food wasn'tstellar, but THE FOOD IS STELLAR, I'll be taking this way home from now on, can't wait to try the rest of the menu but it'sgoing to be hard to order anything else but this...Thank you for making my "Torta Thursday" the most epic ever!!

We moved to the area around a year ago and have been hitting all the local taco shops trying to find a good go-to. We tried... Adalberto's for the first time last night, and it was awesome! We had a ham breakfast burrito and California burrito, and bothwere loaded with tons of meat and were HUGE. Half the places we've gone to want to charge $10 and skimp on more expensiveingredients like meat and cheese, but this place makes an awesome burrito. The staff are also very friendly and the drive-thrueven on a Friday night was super fast and efficient. We will absolutely be coming back soon! Read more

Loved this place before. Not happy with the new idea of a shrimp quesadilla. It was so good with just shrimp and cheese. It?s... really gross with the cabbage and rice that?s in it now. Falls apart and has less shrimp. Please change it back! Rice doesn?t goin a quesadilla Read more

Paid 7 dollars for 5 rolled tacos. Asked for more hot sauce. The lady rolled her eyes and ?aye that?s a lot, they are the big... ones.? I would have paid for extra hot sauces. Before I could say that, I was handed my food with no extra hot sauce. Rudecustomer service. Overpriced and mediocre food. Not coming back here again. Read more

I've been here twice and both times I had a great experience. I ordered a fish burrito and they did not disappoint. It was soooo... good! I got a jamaica agua fresca as well and it was okay. I told them I was going to be back to try something else. Read more

We hadn't tried the food here since the ownership change until today and we were happy with the carne asada burritos and rolled... tacos. My husband had two requests for his carne asada burrito, add beans and no pico de gallo, and he felt they did a greatjob. We'll be back to try other things. Read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The first time we ate here it was amazing, so I know the staff are capable of... quality control when they want to be. The second time we came here I ordered my food with corn tortillas instead of flourbecause I'm allergic to flour tortillas. Not only did they serve my food with flour tortillas, but when I brought the food backand explained why I needed my food made the way I ordered it they handed me an empty to go container. The staff member then toldme to take my food out of the flour tortilla that I'm allergic to and empty it into the extra container so I could eat it. Istood there arguing with her for at least 5 minutes about what a food allergy is and why I can't take the filling out of a flourtortilla and eat it without the tortilla. She simply did not comprehend allergies or food contamination. The third time we gotfood here, they took our money but did not give us the food we paid for. When I explained that some of the food we ordered wasmissing, they asked me what I wanted them to do about it. We did not receive our food or a refund. Fourth visit (3rdstrike)...we ordered rolled tacos with guacamole and cheese thinking there was no way they could mess it up so long as it madeit into bag. Couldn't have been more wrong. The picture below was taken after getting home with our food. When we opened thecontainer a fly flew out of it and we were hit with the overpowering aroma of rancid, moldy food. It looked like someone threwup on our rolled tacos, sprinkled moldy parmesan cheese on top, let it sit out for a day, and then served it to us. Needless tosay, we are never going back. I strongly recommend to anyone looking for quality Mexican food that they run as far and as fastas they can, in any direction other than the drive thru or front window of Adalbertos. Revised: Every time we made a purchasehere, the receipts showed a different day, month, and year from the actual purchase. No wonder they don't gi Read more

I am a repeat customer, I haven?t had any problems with service or the food. My favorite thing to order is the super burrito,... holy cow! This thing has everything and made with two giant tortillas. I?ve also had the asada burrito, and sausage breakfastburrito here, everything is on point. The burrito in the picture is a super burrito, enjoy. Read more
