While the majority of experiences at Don Alberto are positive, a few diners have expressed concerns about the seating arrangements during peak hours. The restaurant can become crowded, leading some visitors to wish for more available seating options, especially on popular lunch and dinner days.
Another point of feedback ties to the wait time during busy periods when the demand spikes. Though the service remains friendly, some customers noted that patience is required on Fridays at noon when the restaurant operates at full capacity.

Absolutely the best Mexican food we've found in IF! It actually matches or beats our favorite place in So CA. Homemade tortillas, flavorful smooth refried beans, homemade sauces, and generous meat portions make it the top of our list. We live in Ammon, but it is SO worth the drive to get there. Treat yourself to anything on their daily special or fried tacos! So many options to choose from, you can't go wrong. Update: I recently was surprised by how good and reasonably priced their a la carte options are. I love the chili relleno and french fries and my son just enjoyed an enchilada. They serve it with shredded lettuce and cheese on top, so it is really filling. 👍🏻 still 5 stars +. Update 9/24 We had their breakfast burritos this morning. My son said it was the best you'd ever had. Updated 11/6/24 still the best!! Love this place.

Husband and I were traveling and stop here before we headed home. We wanted something quick and easy. We both got breakfast burritos and took them to go. These puppies were hefty; well worth the price for what we paid. My husband got a steak and potato. He was super pleased that he got steak in every bite all the way to the end. I got the Ham and potato which was delicious. The ham was tender and there was lots of it. The salsa was so good. You can tell they make it fresh. Wish I would have grabbed some more. We would highly recommend if you're in the area.

Only had 2 things so far. The Idaho burrito was really good. The cherro was great as well. The salsa they offer has good flavor and the employees are nice. The place was clean and no other issues. Keep up the good work guys.

I had a sope de asada, taco de asada and my friend had a burrito de pollo and my nephew had a taco de asada. I also had a choco flan. It was delicious. I had no idea this place was so good. I highly recommend it.
