Rigoberto’s - Albany

WHAT IS THERE NOT TO LIKE??? Everything is great. Priced right big portions and like 8 diff salsas and other free sides chilled. Always clean. Love it.

What else can I say?. Other 's have done very well covering the basics here. Tonight I had a basic crisp chicken taco and a medium horchata for $4.80. Just right for my light appetite tonight. The Taco is small but not tiny with lettuce, cheese moist flavorful chicken along with a minimum of obligatory grease. I should mention I walked here and such this was served on a small styrofoam tray not wrapped as I am use to getting in drive thru. The horchata is a bit sweeter then what is served downtown and it almost seems thicker but quite refreshing all the same.Since I haven 't been inside in a while I immediately noticed the place got some updates in side with all new booths in place. That and the 'Salad Bar ' (aka: condiments) have been moved over to the nook in the wall. All of the fixens previously mentioned are present and tasty! I believe the dark red sause to be mole. The staff is friendly though may be curt at lunch hour. The drive thru is 24 hour but I am not sure about the dinning room. I really ought to walk here more often.

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 the price of 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.

We were driving through Albany when we saw Rigoberto’s restaurant with 8 cars in line in the drive through, we thought must be good!!! It wasn’t good… it was AMAZING…we tried the enchiladas(1 chicken and 1 beef) with rice and beans 9.25 and the pastor big burrito 7.95.. it was worth every penny… WE WILL BE BACK TO TRY MORE!!!

I tried the Fish Taco Plate for $7, which came with beans and rice. Carol opted for one Carne Asada and one Lengua taco, priced at $2.49 each. They have a well-stocked condiment bar featuring radishes, cilantro, pickled carrots, roasted chilies, cucumbers, lime wedges, and a variety of salsas to suit any palate. Carol enjoyed both of her tacos, particularly praising the Lengua beef tongue as exceptional. My fish tacos were packed full and quite delicious. All tacos came double-wrapped in large 6-inch hot corn tortillas. Overall, it's a pretty good spot offering authentic Mexican food at affordable prices!
