Passing through the area while heading to the park and wanted to grab a bite, so I stopped by Alberto's Mexican Food which was nearby. Alberto's Mexican Food is located just off of North River Rd. in Oceanside, Ca. It is in a shopping plaza that has a few other franchise eateries and a Dollar Store. Parking in this plaza is rather limited, but thank goodness that most of the traffic comes and goes pretty quickly. Alberto's is a good spot to stop by and pick up lunch or even grab some plates To-Go if you live in the area. Due to its size and limited seating available, I would not recommend this place to bring a date or to impress someone. The interior is clean and leans towards a "hole in the wall" Mexican diner. It's a little crammed and not great for groups, but instead, favors a customer who just wants to eat & go. Where Alberto's Mexican Food shines is their portions. At first I was taken aback by their prices; it was $3.50 for a carnitas taco alone. But when I saw the size of the taco, I understood why the pricing. This IS NOT a street taco place. The taco WILL NOT fit in your hand! For me, one taco was good enough and thank goodness I didn't order any sides (I was stuffed). They also had a great fish taco Special Deal for $5 (plus tax). Their fish tacos were crispy, cooked through and still tender and seasoned decently. There was also an abundance of of shredded lettuce, tomato's, green onions and a nice sauce. I would recommended adding that squeeze of lime and a few dashes of their house hot-sauce to add that zing! They carry an assortment of favorite drinks, including: Jamaica, Horchata and Tamarindo and their medium cup size is perfect. Overall, I can recommend Alberto's Mexican Food for a good sizeable plate of authentic Mexican food. Don't go there thinking to get some small street tacos for $2. Their portions are great and reasonably priced for the size. Good food and good prices. The drinks are very good and not that sugary. The workers are nice and welcoming.
