Review Albert's Fresh Mexican Food - La Mesa

Sean Rice
From order to getting food was quick. Love the Carne asada Tater Tots.

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.

Didnt hate it, rolled tacos were pretty filling but meat tasted like just boiled meat..

I got a Cali Burrito. It was hot and was ready about a minute after I paid for my order. It tasted like grease and was nearly flavorless, even the pico inside the burrito had no flavor. I'm only giving one extra star because it was a decent sized burrito, but they won't get more business from me - I got a really bad impression from that one visit. They talk trash about their customers.
Mary Hottel
Good food all the time - huge selection from pancakes to mole.
John Donovan
Always friendly and attentive service. Never disappointed with the food quality. Highly recommended.

Uh, no.⁠ ⁠ Caveat: I generally dislike what some people call taquitos, others call flautas, and what San Diego calls "rolled tacos," which (in San Diego County) are typically cylindrical taco dorados smothered in old guacamole and shredded yellow cheese. ⁠ So you can guess how I feel about the much-heralded "Big Rolled Tacos with Shredded Beef" served at Albert's Fresh Mexican Food. I've been told by people who eat this miserable kind of thing that Albert's make the "best" version of this in San Diego, but I just wasn't feelin' it. The shredded beef was dry and tasted like it came out of a tin, the tortilla had the taste of metallic residue, and the guacamole had a pasty texture despite being palatable.⁠ The frying oil needs to be changed more frequently too, as I'm sure the slightly fishy flavor it imparts is not intentional. I also tried the (non-big) "Rolled Tacos with Ground Beef," and preferred them slightly, as the meat wasn't as dry and lifeless. ⁠ The operation is clean, the people working here are friendly, and the salsa roja is pretty good, which is why Albert's earns three stars, slightly boosted by pandemic sympathy. Don't worry, Albert's: it's not you, it's me. El Tianguis, La Barbacoa Autentica de Borrego, Tuétano Taqueria, and Los Cuatro Milpas make the only rolled tacos/flautas/taquitos in SD that I have deemed fit for human consumption. You're not any worse than all of the rest.⁠
