Los Adalbertos — Restaurant in Idaho Falls

I'm sitting in my hotel room at 11 PM and it dawns on me that I haven't eaten today. Desperately reaching for my phone in a panic bcuz I have slim to no change of anything being open this late in Idaho Falls. Quickly bouncing back and forth between Door dash and Google reviews(I'm an overthinker), gasping at some of the reviews thinking I can't possibly order from this place. I decide to take my chance bcuz all my dog wants to do is cuddle and go to sleep. But who wants to cuddle when they're hangry... Not me. An hour and a half later I meet the dash driver in the parking lot. It's not his fault or the restaurants that he's the only Door dash driver in the city (99% sure). Where am I going with this...ah right. So I rip open the bag to get to my cold carne asada sope and smothered burrito, stare at it for another 5 min questioning my decisions and if I really want to risk the carb count. It honestly just looked like Mexican food you're served at your white Mormon families house (You know when they attempt to cook ethnic food? Bless their hearts but please stick with ham, rolls and jello. The jello with the pretzels on the bottom and raspberries on top :)). Where was I? Ok so first bite from the smothered burrito, which I would personally never describe as smothered. It wasn't horrible (reference back to my white LDS families side Sunday dinners). And then took a bite of the sope, experiencing the same feeling. I then decided to go all in and drowned all of it in the 8 containers of very watery green and red salsa they kindly included ( pretty decent flavor and spice). If you got through reading all this, treat yourself to a churro. You deserve it! My final conclusion, this is a 24 hr fast food Mexican restaurant. If you want authentic gourmet, stop being so cheap and lazy. Their food is descent, prices are reasonable. Everybody has different taste. Some people are going to like it and others hate it, just like everywhere else. I'm a picky fat girl and I thought it was edible. And it would've been even better at 2 AM after the bar drunk food. Just try it. If you don't like it, don't go back. More importantly, don't forget to smile, love each other and be nice every day. I love all of you forever and ever!...

Well, darn it. A travel website selected the hotel across the street, and when I asked the person at the front desk for a restaurant recommendations, she did not mention Los Adalbertos. I tried the place she recommended, but they were closed so I decided to try this hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. From my time in Mexico, eating in the back alleys, I have learned that sometimes the dirtiest restaurants provide the best food!

I asked the young man at the front counter what he recommended and he suggested the burrito carne asada with fries. As it turns out, the fries are placed inside the tortilla along with some darker color substance. In related news, I recently learned that when a semi truck has a tire that blows out, those strips that lay along the highway are called gators. As it turns out, I suspect the darker substance inside the burrito was in fact gators. On the other hand, if the tires had been made of a substance as tough as what I ate, I suspect the trucker would not have had a blowout.

I was the only person inside on a Sunday night at 5:30, so I suspect that locals have given the place a try and have recognized how lousy the food is.

I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, however the disregard for reviews on Google and then taking corrective action makes me suspect that perhaps this restaurant is really a front for something else, I don't know. It certainly is not a small, family-owned restaurant dedicated to providing authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price. The price was in fact perfectly reasonable if the food...

I've been buying Carnitas burritos forever. And in that time, I bought them from all sorts of restaurants, including Los Alberto's. First of all, it took me 20 plus minutes to get my food, even though there was nobody in there for the majority of the 20 minutes. when I did finally get my food, keeping in mind that it was just ONE burrito, and nothing else, it was ice cold. And I don't mean it wasn't hot enough for me, No, I really mean that it was physically cold to the touch. The lady told me that the reason that it was cold as because it had "pico de gallo" in it. She wasn't a mean person, and she was willing to make me another one, but wanted to argue with me and insisted that the meat was at least warm, when it wasn't. Secondly, in the middle of eating this burrito, I bit into a huge piece of cartledge. No really it was 3 inch by 1 inch wide, and it wasn't stuck to chunks of meat either. If you're the business, and you're reading this, I don't know what to suggest to make things better. This is hands-down the worst burrito that I've ever had, and I'm definitely not a picky eater. My suggestion to patrions, is fine one of the small taco trucks along Broadway, or take the time to go to Morenitas. Don't waste your time or...
