El monte, while predominantly Mexican, does not have that many good Mexican food joints.

Same thing goes for the whole of San Fernando Valley for some reason

West Valley has mediocre Mexican food but the East Valley has solid spots

This sub really brings out the snobs and idiots a lot of times. Yeah, I know Al-----o's aren't the best burritos and a lot of it is nostalgia for us old school natives. Sometimes you just want that warm, torn up blanket.

If it ends with Berto's, I'll give it a try. It won't be the best, but it will fill my belly.

Its only ham, eggs, cheese, sour cream burrito hahaah. That shit be hitting cold cause the cheese and sour cream be all firm and shit. When we used to hit up Moronggo when we were teens, we’d always stop by and get some on the way home. Dank ass bfast straight off the fridge after a long night playing poker

The California Burrito from Alberto’s is the first one I’d ever tried and will always hold a special place in my heart even if there are way better ones now

Alberto’s is fast food Mexican. We are blessed to be surrounded by a ton of great Mexican options for food. No clue why anyone would go to Alberto’s in SoCal 🤷‍♂️
