Alberto Jr Mexican Food — Restaurant in Des Moines

Who is rating 5 stars?!!! Seriously this does not taste like Mexican food And I'm Mexican! The food is very flavorless and let's not talk about the Chile relleno 🥹 that's not a poblano pepper and it should be specified that it's a tiny Anaheim pepper. The sauces for the food are just water down blended tomatoes. The sause on top of the chilles definitely out of a can. The only thing they got right was the curtido de chiles jalapeños and carrots. My kids didn't even like the quesadilla and the tacos as you can see in the picture and they always get the same thing at la fondita. I guess that's what happens when you want to give a new place a try 🥹 lesson learned. Just drive up to white center and get some good food at the...

I stopped here last week expecting to find a gyro place. Finding Alberto Jr was an unexpected pleasure! I was hangry after diving the ladies around all day. I had only had 1/2 a slice of quiche at a bakery in Seattle (uggh.)

This little place has everything (except tamales, though I didn’t ask…) Their burrito selection is impressive. Yeah, they got California burritos, hippie burritos, and breakfast burritos all day long. What really caught my eye was the lengua, the carnitas…oooh Al Pastor. That’s what I got. Mmm…little cubes of tender juicy roast pork with just enough heat.

Great burrito! I’ll be driving through Des Moines a lot...

Bland food, not so Hot hot sauce, very expensive and super rude….. If you want Taco Bell food for 10 times the price, I totally recommend it. Btw, the hot sauces looks and tastes like it’s watered down Tapatio sauce. $20 for a burrito and water….. Not to mention the fact that the guy behind the counter swore at me and threw something at me as walked out all because I asked why it cost so much? Just wow?! I will NEVER eat here again or any of their restaurants and I’m going to make darn sure I tell all my friends. Bad food, bad hot sauce and bad attitude all for a very high price…....
