Albert's Fresh Mexican Food - Mexican restaurant in La Mesa - 8038 La Mesa Blvd, USA

There was a parking lot, it is a convenient location surrounded by different restaurant! The inside sitting area is not big but there was outside seating too! We spent 10-20$ for each person but I won’t recommend this place at all, drive 5 more minutes to the other Albert’s for way better food and service! We have been to the other Albert’s Fresh Mexican Food and we loved it so much so we decided to give this one a shot! Unfortunately, we were really disappointed with this Albert’s Fresh Mexican Food in La Mesa… The beef tacos and burritos were really good! The burrito was about the size of my arm! That’s all the good things I can say about this place! The layout of the fountain drinks was very awkward and inconvenient, we ordered 3 big rolled tacos but the staff told us that we could only pick one meat which did not happen in the other Albert’s so I was shocked. I asked for a chicken soup and the staff said that she will have to ask the kitchen to see if they have any chicken soup left, she came back with a positive answer, so I ordered it. However, when I received my chicken soup, there was only one small piece of chicken in my soup😨 And the carrots were so hard, it tasted like they just throw some carrots right into my bowl. If you don’t have anything left, just tell me so I can order something else, don’t try to fool your customers and give them the bottom of the bowl.

DECEMBER 2023 AFRICAN AMERICANS BEWARE! My 67 year old husband was... I guess you could say "illegally detained". He went to Alberts La Mesa to pick up our order and the girl behind the counter went to the back to get the male "manager" and locked the door. The manager asked him how could he help him. They completed the transaction and unlocked the door to let him out. The current rash of armed robberies are being committed by GROUPS of TEENAGERS NOT SENIOR CITIZENS!! Yes its scary but doesn't give you a reason to lock in every black man that comes into your establishment. At least let them fit the description. My husband hasn't been a teenager in 50 years....just ridiculous 🙄

I had the Machaca burrito, I should’ve added beans as the waitress suggested but it was so good and flavorful!!! My son went ordered the same thing with the beans and he loved it!

We go to Albert’s every Wednesday , at least. Manny is always on the ball, very attentive. Food is awesome

Great SD Mexican food. Diverse menu. Friendly staff. Always full of locals.

Ordered six shrimp tacos on a busy Friday evening. They came in three containers, two each, and when I got home and opened them up, I was amazed. The containers were completely filled by the two tacos, the presentation was beautiful, and they tasted so fresh and so good. Will definitely go there again, and try other menu items.

The is my favorite taco shop. I've been going here for years. The staff is always friendly, and the food has never disappointed me. They pay attention to your order, unlike some other local shops which disregard if you ask to leave an ingredient off (in my case, onions). Everything tastes super fresh. I can not recommend them highly enough. My favorite items are the surf and turf California burrito and the big rolled tacos.

Manny our waiter is “Johnny on the spot “. Great service, good food!
