rigoberto's taco shop

this is another go to restaurant for me if i don't feel like cooking all their portion sizes of all the items that i've gotten that covers most of the items on the menu all have been almost too much for me to eat i usually get what is non authenticmexicanit is called a chimichanga. i bring it home put some more sour cream on it and salsa and it is the best thing i've ever eaten.

decentmexicancarry-out is hard to come by in oregon, but i really like this place. if there was even a little heat to any of their food, i'd give them a full 5.0, but that doesn't seem to be what people like around here, so i get why they have mellowed outmexicanfood compared to other places i've lived.

pricey but good. call me spoiled, i'm used to getting goodmexicanfood for real cheap in arizona but this does the trick if you're willing to spend an extra few $$$. it's cheaper than a flight to phoenix so i guess i shouldn't complain too hard.

ouch, mi dinero!. dropped by rigoburtos this morning for some breakfast with my sister. glancing at the menu board i immediately noticed that there has been a $.25-$.75 price hike on each menu item; pushing the limits of the value/price ratio in my personal opinion. we ordered up a carne asada french fry and a chicken nacho. each item was around $8 bucks which is getting a little hefty for “cheap”mexicanplaces. the food was good as always but the prices are starting to scare me a little.

can i get a to go box?. i spent a little bit of time in arizona a few summers back and while i was down there i fell in love with themexicanfood found in the local taco trucks. rigoburtos is the closest thing i have found to those four-wheeled palaces of south of the border goodness. i find rigoburtos is the closest thing in this town to authentic everydaymexicanfood. none of the flashy festival type dishes you will find in pricy sit down places here. the carne asada tacos, beef tongue tacos, fish tacos, and wide variety of "giant" burritos are fantastic. on the un-authentic side of the menu, the carne asada french fries will have you asking for a take home box. one thing i love is the little condiment bar packed out with salsa, radishes, pickled carrots, green onions, cilantro, lime wedges, and several other little additives that are sure to make your great meal even better. the drive through is open 24/7 which makes it one of albanys few places to get food at 2, 3, or 4 in the morning if you are so inclined.

not bad.. rigoberto's is in an old dairy queen building on hwy 99 in west albany. there's a small dining area inside but it's set up mostly as a drive through place. the restroom is precariously positioned outside and access requires walking through the drive-thru vehicle lane. (the bulb in there takes a while to illuminate, so be patient, or rely on mussel memory for accuracy. your call.)

i had their fish taco plate ($7) that came with beans and rice. carol had one carne asada and one lengua taco. ($2.49 ea.) they have a well stocked condiment bar; radishes, cilantro, pickled carrots, roasted chilies, cucumbers, lime wedges and salsas to satisfy any taste.

carol liked both her tacos, but thought the lengua (beef tongue) was especially good. my fish tacos were loaded and very good. all tacos were double wrapped with big 6" hot corn tortillas.

it's pretty good, pretty authenticmexicanfood for cheap!

really tastymexicanfood. if you try the nachos supreme they are sooo good! also the folded carnita taco is just awesome so much flavor.and the pork carnita burrito is very good also .try their green sauce on anything you order it is really good.give this place a try their food is made up fresh and truly do a great job and for the price you cannot beat it!!!if you have been to mexico i think you will know what i mean so go and enjoy
