Ralberto's Mexican Food — Restaurant in Cottonwood

This is from TODAY after going back even after the review was submitted below this one. Today my friend and I went in. I had introduced my friend to the young man working the front counter. I ordered first, of course I order the same order EVERY TIME “bean and little bit of rice to thicken the beans, NO cheese”. I told them to be sure no cheese because I cannot have dairy. The last time my son’s picked up food from them they brought back beans and cheese was all over everything. We full-time RV and it would have been a long way back. So instead, I peeled the cheese off everything…and had a yucky stomach in the morning, of course! Right after, I ordered my best friend ordered the SAME thing, she even repeated the same thing that she ordered bean and rice burrito NO cheese. We sit down to eat and of course mine has rice in it. No cheese praise the Lord. She goes to eat hers and there’s NO rice. She went to ask them for a small amount of rice and they straight up said NO to her. I walked over and asked the young man for the little bit of rice and he gave me an attitude saying she didn’t order a been and rice burrito. I WAS OVER AT THE VEGGIE AND SAUCE BAR AND SHE ASKED FOR THE EXACT SAME THING I ORDERED. They began to argue with me!!! WOW!!! Do NOT go here. Make the extra effort and go to Juanita’s just around the corner! They are a family owned restaurant and do NOT ARGUE WITH THEIR PATRONS! I am DONE AND WILL never be going back and spending the amount of money that I spend every month 3-4 times a month. MIND UOU my friend and I travel FULL TIME in our RV’s and people ask us ALL THE TIME where to eat! We are also part of an organization here in town, very active in the community and members of a local church with a lot of people who ask us where do you like to go have Mexican food??? I will NOT SEND THEM HERE TO THIS PLACE EVER!!! This next review was written over a year ago…OVER $8 for a bean and rice burrito!! $3 for a TINY scoop of RICE!!...

I love hole in the wall joints that have been around forever, but they’ve got to have good food to offset how dated and grungy they are. So, I was disappointed to have had the most bland, unappetizing meal of my life that I only ate 1/6 of because it was so terrible. I got the rolled tacos with rice and beans. The rice was standard, the beans were grey and flavorless, the guacamole was avocado water basically, and the rolled tacos were incredibly sad, and tasted like the cheapest, off-brand frozen ones you can buy. I took the compressed tiny tube of meat out just to eat that, and it tasted like a corn tortilla. For all I know, they actually were frozen ones. Completely disappointed, and that’s saying something given my expectations of it being at least of a...

Heck Yeah! Eat here if you want real food

If you want a sit down place maybe this isn't the place. It's clean but a little worn. No beer, etc.

Great service any time of the day. If you have a problem with service ask your self why.

Order your food to go. Amazing authentic food. Not sure what the region the cooks are coming from. But let me say.... Some of the best burritos I ever eaten. Thank you ralberts! I am a chili relleno gringa snob. The most different awesome chili relleno burrito EVER! I am so grateful for our food and service today. Our two year old granddaughter loved her bean burrito !

If you want real food..... Eat here

By the way. ...we lived in Mexico...
