The entrance and exit can be a little tricky to figure out the first time, but it’s worth it. Located a little off the main road, I think that’s the main reason it’s not busier. Based on reviews, first tried the machaca (shredded beef) breakfast burrito. Soooooooo good. Highly recommended - for size, price, quality, and amount of meat, I found this to be an excellent value over multiple visits - mom and pop taco shops offer a far better value than larger franchise chains. Preparation time in the drive through is usually only a few minutes, but not long, and the food comes out hot. Burritos come wrapped in paper in a brown bag with green and red sauce. The burritos are hot and delicious. Service is friendly. Though this isn’t the only Ralibertos Taco Shop, I have the impression that the people running this shop are like a small family. Ralibertos Taco Shop earns its high reviews. On return visits, the carne asada fries ($15, but plentiful and loaded) and the al pastor burrito were favorites. The carnitas burrito was also quite tasty. Not much in the way of vegetarian options. All of their dishes seem to be loaded with flavorful meat.
The only negative with this shop is the drive-through intercom. Granted some cashiers have speech challenges to begin with (which I am fine with), but the audio quality itself on both ends is horrible no matter who is talking. If you order any more than one or two items, highly suggested that you ask them to repeat your order in the drivethrough or go inside to place your order as there is otherwise a high probability that you will not get what you ordered. From my experience they will not repeat your order for accuracy unless you ask. If they repeated every order for accuracy before telling people to drive ahead to the pick up window, they would resolve many of the frustrations other people have experienced. Resolving problems at the pick up window is not easy.
Pro-tip: to non-native English speakers, “a” burrito (or taco) sounds very much like “eight” burritos (or tacos). Instead of using the article, “A”, say “ONE” burrito (or tacos) instead. This can help avoid some confusion.
Aside from the intercom issues for the drive-through and lack of vegetarian options, this is by far the best drive-through taco shop around. Operated by exceptionally nice people making excellent Mexican food, Raliberto’s Taco Shop earns its high marks - most highly...
Read moreWe started coming to this taco shop atleast a year ago and we could not believe the Huge chunks of meat on the tostada's!! I could hardly finish mine! Then about 5-6 months ago i mentioned to my husband that i had all what tasted like canned chicken on mine!! It was still plentiful though. Now 2 months ago we ordered 2x in approx. 2 wks time and the shells were both soaked from the now double layer of refried beans! Thats just about all it was!! Refried beans!! So the next time we ordered we got chimichangas. They were okay! Now tonite, i LUCKILY said to my husband."I will try my usual chicken tostada, and also get us a chimichanga to nibble on, i am really hungry!" ( No food all day!) Well, good thing we ordered it bc our tostadas were SO small..couple little mouth size pieces of chicken and barely any lettuce at all!! So yeah, Glad we had the chimi to share!! But now this chimichanga was Loaded with atleast 80% with cooked jalepenos (??) ..something green?? Which i Never order anything with that! I sent MANY customers their way, up to the last 6 mos. Not Anymore!! And tonite may be our last time going there too!? You are no better than taco time at this point!! Really crushed to see it go vastly downhill bc we were addicted to this place for a long time! Sad!! We gave them Alot of business! No more! Dont cha' just hate when restaurants throw their quality and quanity out the...
Read moreThis place was our favorite place until today saturday july 6th my husband and I went to a drive thru .we were the second in line and the lady who was taking order got outside the line behind us taking orders for that person. And did not take our order first and let us wait for 15 minutes or so and so my husband drive up to the window the lady open the window and my husband told her that weve been patiently waiting and the lady said to my husband oh i went out and took their order and apparently i did not take yours,! And then she asked what do you want? Very rudely. She claimed to be the manager , my husband went inside asked to talked to the manager to complained about her and she said she is the manager.if she is the manager she is very rude to customer, unprofessional ,bad customer service and this is not good for the owners business.and this is in small town of stanwood. She doesnt belong there and has to be fired and she deserved it.obviously she doesn't care.this was about 12:30 lunch time saturday july 6th 2019. When it was first opened they have nice people there . Food is good but not anymore if you have a bad...
