Reviews Alvarado Mexican Restaurant

Now here's one we have a long history with, in terms of timeline. According to my personal database, I visited Alvarado's way back in July of 2004, not long after they opened. I didn't have a positive experience, and basically never thought about them much again. Mrs. RJG used to work nearby there in the 2006/07 time frame, and stated they would go about once a week and have a burrito. She said it was good, but didn't think it was worthy of us going together. Year after year, the small old taco building seemed to thrive (despite an awful location), as we drove past it towards the Northeast Mall or to Richland Hills/Haltom City. They had to be doing something right! So we finally broke down and revisited late last year, and were mightily impressed with their street tacos. And we've been somewhat regulars ever since. Either they improved or our tastes have changed. Probably a bit of both, as is often the case. The reason for the delay into the RJG is that we were waiting until they moved to their new location. That has now happened, and here we are.Food: Alvarado's is a real taqueria, which isn't as common in the northern reaches of NE Tarrant as one might presume. We like their tacos, both large and small (street). They really load them up with the meat, and are an excellent value. We like their salsa bar, which provides a vast array of different sauces, most notably a spicy chile de arbol, a pungent verde, and a smooth habanero, which is of course their hottest offering. Mrs. RJG likes their rice and beans as well, and she stated the carne asada (meal) is excellent as well. As for types of meat, we enjoy most their chicken, adobada, and carne asada. But they have more hardcore offerings like lengua for the faithful.Drink: No alcohol as expected, but they do have Mexican bottled drinks and of course fountain sodas.

SO good! It's a little hole in the wall that's not much to look at and hard to get to but the food is delicious! My wife and I can't wait to go back.

DELICIOUS! Authentic Mexican food. The adobada is AMAZING, carne asada tacos we're perfect! All these white people on here saying its the worst Mexican food they've ever had, probably consider taco bell mexican food.. Large portions, spicy salsas. Just all around great.

If you're from southern California, as we are, this is as close as you're gonna get to good around here. learned from another transplanted San Diegan this was worth the drive from East Fort Worth. it is.

It's impossible to express how great this place is. It's a dive but the tacos al pastor are unbeatable. Carnitas are also top notch.

Good 24 Hour Mexican Food. Naturally, this wouldn't be the first place I'd go during the day when everything else is open. But if it's late and you're craving some decent Mexican food, this is the place to go. It's a little bit run down but overall the place isn't bad. The only thing I can suggest is to use cash. My roommates and I have to keep a close eye on our bank statements because sometimes they run more on your card than they originally print out. (Adding in more tip or something, I don't know.)

GREAT BREAKFAST BURRITOS. Super drive through. Hot sauce is not the best. Large portions that are basic and good.
