I would recommend coming here for a casual meet up with friends or family. I will admit that myself and my family (4 total) came in on a Wednesday night. Not exactly the same energy that you would expect on a Friday night for any restaurant. Given that, the atmosphere was overall nice and quaint. There is a separate, smaller dining room that is not pictured. That is where they had everyone stuffed into and were not utilizing the main dining area in the front. There were about 5+ other tables of people and they just had us all stuffed away in there together. I’m sure this was to make things easier on their staff. However, sitting everyone away from the massive bar and TV’s up front seems like a missed opportunity to remind guests of the extensive drink menu they could be missing out on and from the outside it makes it seem like the restaurant is completely empty. The staff that we interacted with were friendly and accommodating. We had just wished we had the one other server that seemed to be very attentive to ALL of the other tables he was serving on his own. The young lady that was our server seemed more interested in hanging out in the front dining room talking to other staff or doing side work. We had to ask the other hard working gentleman and other employees to help us. Mind you that we were our server’s ONLY table and the other gentleman was serving ALL the other tables on his own. Having to ask him to assist our table was something that we did begrudgingly. We saw our server 3 times total. When we ordered, when our food came, and when we got the check. Expecting 2 children (11y & 12y) and 2 adults to never need a refill on their drinks or anything else is a miss. The food was hitting and missing on the same plate. The refried beans are very good. They have a lot of flavor while not being overly salty. The rice would be the opposite. It looked like it was seasoned but tasted dry and flavorless. The shredded chicken was overall pretty good but best in the flauta. The shredded beef was more like a stewed beef from a Sunday roast complete with flavor profile. It was tasty, just not what you’d expect from a typical shredded beef. The asada itself was packed with flavor and tender. The Pom-A-Rita was a complete tequila experience. STRONG. Luckily I had a designated driver. If not I would have been stuck like chuck on my last buck waiting for the alcohol to metabolize before driving. With so much tequila I can’t be sure if there was any pomegranate juice or not. Just the red coloring to insinuate it’s presence. I would definitely come back here again but for a different experience. I would gladly recommend getting a group of friends to Uber and meet up for drinks, food and watching a game at the bar or in the front dining room. Possibly a lunch date on the patio.

Been coming here for a few years, before the change in ownership. Could rely on “adequate” food, rounded out with strong margaritas.
Just came in to try again, as we heard the food had been “updated”. Pleasantly surprised – the food has stepped up, and they have added a few items to the menu, notably the Carne Melt…a fantastic twist on the Philly Cheesesteak. Very fresh and flavorful. I know you won’t expect to see it…or try it…when coming to a traditional Mexican restaurant, but I highly recommend it.
Oh…and the margaritas are fantastic …and strong. Be sure to give a smile to the bartender – Roxanne – she’s the best!
Nice job, Alberto’s!!

Had an amazing experience here and a date with my wife. Food was beyond this world and the service was excellent. Food came out within 10 minutes. Going to recommend this place to anyone.

Food was as good as any decent Mexican restaurants and worth the money. Drinks weren’t great though for adults. But kids drinks were good. . Loved their fresh Nacho, was fresh and warm.. loved the sides provided as well.
If just 2 we’ll- eaters, then their scrumptious sampler platter is awesome to go for.
We were seated outside and the weather was lovely too. Not very crowded, but the restaurant was busy.. 75% full when we went on a Sunday evening.

Waited about 20 minutes at the bar with only two other people there. Bartender passed us multiple times and never acknowledged us. No menu’s or service so we walked out. On the way out heard other table complaining about the service. Looks like a nice place though.

Went here over he weekend for a quick lunch. I had the veggie Chile relleno and veggie enchilada, it was bland had to add salt and pepper. There just didn’t seem to be any flavor in the dish. My wife had veggie tacos and she said the same thing, we needed to add some spicy to give it a kick. My daughter liked her French fries and the chips and salsa they put out, that’s the only reason I gave the food three stars. I ordered a sprite and to ask for it twice before it came out. I wanted a refill and had to ask for it three times, it never came. That’s why service got a two. They did not check up on us, we had to go to the hostess s number of times to get the waiter to come over. The atmosphere was too dark in the bar area but cool as they had all the fans on. In the dining room it was lighter but muggy as they didn’t have any fans on. I had to ask them twice before they put it on.
Overall it was a disappointing experience. I have been here before and the service and atmosphere was good. This time I don’t know what happened.
We decided to give it a second try because we heard their food had improved but it wasn’t.
It’s a shame because it has a prime location on Main Street.

Went to Alberto’s for a team dinner event. Liked the atmosphere and vibe . Its one of the best place to try Mexican food in downtown Pleasanton. Do try the drink Alberto’s Margarita, if you are looking for one.

My family and I came here on Friday night as an early Mother’s Day dinner. We came around 7:30 ish not too crowded, granted the warriors were playing. We were seated in bout 5-7 mins. Our waitress Melissa was amazing. Super friendly and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the carnitas and a strawberry margarita.

Returned after a few years given the new ownership but honestly the food was mediocre at best. Service was excellent but the food , not so much. If you want traditional Mexican food, this is not the place for you!
