Alanberto's Mexican Restaurant in San Bernardino offers a straightforward, no-frills Mexican fast food experience that feels rooted in its local community. Situated on South E Street, this spot draws a steady crowd looking for hearty, flavorful meals without the fuss of full-service dining.

The atmosphere is casual and busy, reflecting a place where familiarity and speed are key. The staff are known for their friendly and attentive service, often going out of their way to accommodate guests despite a sometimes noticeable language barrier. You’ll find a mix of longtime locals stopping by for breakfast burritos to start their day and families or workers grabbing a quick, satisfying lunch or dinner.

The menu centers on classic Mexican staples with some standout offerings like breakfast burritos, carne asada fries, and various taquitos served with guacamole, crema, and cheese. Portions here are generous, and dishes often come loaded with freshly shredded cheese and refreshing chilled lettuce, which keeps things lively even on warmer days. Fans of the beef taco will appreciate how well they balance a crisp shell with plenty of meat and toppings.

Salsa plays a notable role here—while the house salsas are rich and flavorful, regulars have mentioned that the amount included with meals can be limited, with extra portions coming at an additional cost. This seems to be a somewhat deliberate choice by the owners, adding a bit of a negotiation point for those who like to indulge fully in the spicy sauces.

Alanberto's is best for anyone craving honest, substantial Mexican fast food in a low-key setting. It works well for quick breakfasts, laid-back lunches, or casual dinners when you want filling meals without wait times or formalities. Weekday mornings or early afternoons tend to be the sweet spot to avoid busier rushes, allowing for an easier pace and a chance to chat with the personable team behind the counter.

Burritos are a must . I really don’t understand what other people are saying with the salsas because they give me heaps of sauce maybe they other people just want to drink the salsa because that’s how good it is . Overall the service is amazing regardless the communication barrier the workers always takes care of me . Btw I purposely order the shrimp burrito and yes they actually take their time to perfect and cook your order to its finest .

Been here a couple times before this and the staff is already really nice. The prices are fantastic and the food is great. Feel like thay actually care about the restaurant. I forgot to take a picture till after I mixed everything around but there is a bunch of cheese, guac, sour cream and some lettuce. And it's actually chilled lettuce too so it's really refreshing. The taquitos stayed crunchy for a hella long time but they where still the perfect crispness , not hard tho ! BOMB!

I frequent this establishment for their delicious breakfast burritos or Carne Asada fries, satisfying my cravings. However, I find it perplexing that they are frugal with their salsa allocation. They provide a mere three servings and insist on charging extra for additional helpings. Today, I had the opportunity to interact with the owner's daughter, who expressed concerns about getting in trouble if she offered more salsa. Apparently, the tiny cups incur a charge of a quarter each. I firmly believe that customer service is paramount, and providing a few extra servings of salsa would be a negligible gesture, especially when the owner is directly serving the customer. The goal should be to delight and make customers feel valued, encouraging repeat business. It is worth noting that salsa is a staple accompaniment to Mexican cuisine. The salsa seems diluted anyway. Despite this, the food is quite good, although the establishment's stinginess with salsa is evident. The food is pretty good though, but they are sure greedy with their salsa.

This is my favorite of the 5 or so 'berto's in the San Bernardino area. The beef taco is exemplary - perfect crunch and loaded to the brim. The meats are delicious. The portions are very generous. Best breakfast burrito deal around.

This place is absolutely AMAZING. I love absolutely everything they do and they have the best carne asada fries. Everything they do is absolutely amazing and they way that they keep everything fresh is good as well. I would 100% recommend people going to this restaurant were they make almost everything by hand. It's like a Chipotle 2.0 but better and mexican stile. Absolutely AMAZING ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
