rigoberto's taco shop

never eat there!. i ordered a vegi burrito in the drive thru, drove 5 miles back to work, sat down at my desk for a 30 min lunch break, took a bite and realized immediately that it was a steak burrito! i drove back to the queen/pacific blvd location, brought the burrito inside and was met by a rude woman. i explained the situation in hopes she would offer to make it right (considering it took me 15 mins to return). she said "do you want a burrito or your money?", as she headed towards the cash register. i asked if a steak burrito was the samepriceas a vegi burrito. she said "yes". really?!?! she made no attempt to make anything right. i will not recommend this place to anyone! in fact, i will do the opposite and suggest people go to taco bell across the street.

veggie burrito. friendly staff and great food for an excellent price...their salsa bar is really good.. oh i just really like this place....the atmosphere is not that great and i wish they served alcohol. the food,priceand service is great!

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 $.25-$.75pricehike 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” mexican places. 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 the mexican food 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 everyday mexican food. 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.

so fresh! open 24 hours.. this taco shop is by far the best. everything, whether it is or not, tastes homemade. prices are super affordable. the menu is vast and has you coming back to try each and every dish. on my first visit, i dared to try the cabeza (head) taco for $2.50. you can wikipedia "cabeza" to see what it all about or just come and try it. so delicious! the meat was moist and succulent, piled high on 2 warm corn tortillas and topped with onion & cilantro. there was enough filling to split between the 2 tortillas, so you practically get 2 tacos for thepriceof one. there are also other rare choices llke tripa (stomach) and lingua (tongue), both awesome. inside, you also get the luxury of a condiment bar, packed with lime wedges, radishes, cucumber, escabeche, green onion, and 3 mystery salsas: green, red, and dark red (perhaps chipotle?). the staff was very friendly and the preparation was fast. the dining area was clean and was very quiet since most customers use the drive-thru.

really tasty mexican food. 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 thepriceyou cannot beat it!!!if you have been to mexico i think you will know what i mean so go and enjoy
