10 reviews for Ralibertos Mexican Food
Another favorite from Yelp reviews..............
I had to try Railbertos after reading previous posts on Yelp. I drive by the place all the time (between Good Times and Big Lots) on Wadsworth. And I'm glad I tried it out.
I ordered the steak plate (from the picture on the window) and a green-chile smothered bean burrito with french fries. The tab came to $12ish for a huge amount of take-out food; leftovers too. I love the fact that they grill the tortillas before they send them out. Plus they gave us 5-6 little containers of their tomatillo salsa (not my fav, but kudos for the thought.)
Overall, decent food, better that Taco Bell. Great location and hours. Fantastic value for your money.
I've cruised past this restaurant a few times and finally decided to drive thru. Wow! About $13 got me a huge carne asada burrito (fantastic! loaded with beef and no lettuce or other cheap fillers), a chile relleno dinner with rice and beans (a "correctly made" chile relleno, soft not chimichanga style), and a quesadilla (plain, uncomplicated, enormous), not to mention tortillas & green and red hot sauces on the side. Hell to the yea!
So, got the grub home and was quite impressed. I'm picky about my rice, and this was not to my liking, but if thats the only bit I didn't dig, then this place is pretty damn good.
Downside, they only take cash. Even your Arby's and Taco Bell are taking cards now, but eh, just remember to bring some moola when you stop by. Also, this place definitely has the "I'm a drug front" kind of look and feel to it. Although I think it is fantastic that they are open 24hrs, I don't think you'll see me there at 3am.
So, hella good food (a MILLION times better than the other late night spot in the hood, Tacos TJ), a little sketchy kind of place, but will definitely find myself stopping in for some grub on the drive thru when in the area.
the best chili cheese fries on earth...especially at 3am!
AND only $3 bucks!
I ordered the fish tacos. Battered and fried fish with a ranch sauce, pico, lettuce and a green and red salsa. The battered fish didn't taste that fresh, but the tasty batter hid the fish flavor. The beans were runny but tasted good because of the lard I'm sure. Mighty fine Spanish rice. My fiance got the beef burritos which he liked he would possibly give 3 1/2 stars.
The salsas were spicy, but pass on the fish. I will go back, it is 24 hours. Better than Chipotle, but Senor Burritos beats it.
My favorite part, the spicy carrots.
Ok, my review may seem a bit incomplete, but that's because my one and only visit to Ralibertos was at 2:30 AM last Friday, after seeing a show at the Larimer. I'm from San Diego. The band playing was from San Diego, and there were a number of other SD ex-pats in attendance. As it often does, our discussion meandered to the topic of places we miss from SD, and of course, the mighty 'Bertos was on the list (for those not in the know, 'Bertos is the name for any number of prolific taco shops in San Diego that all have names that end in -bertos, i.e. Robertos, Albertos, Ralibertos, etc.)
So what happens when you have a car full of drunken (minus the driver, of course) ex-San Diegans in the grip of a serious taco jones? You make the long-ass drive to 38th and Wadsworth at 2:30, of course!
And it was SOOOOO worth it. I had my staple: 2 beef taco combo, all beans, no rice. The fresh fried tortilla shell was hot and salty. The salsa was thin and runny and not too spicy (exactly how it should be). The beans were pretty good, but not too special. And the bag of hot carrots was overcooked, but I can totally overlook that as I was overjoyed that they had hot carrots in the first place.
My friends ordered way too much food, so when I got home, I grabbed an extra quesadilla with guac to eat inside (yes, I ate my tacos in the car... sue me). The quesadilla too, was perfect.
I can't really tell you what else was on the menu, how it looked inside, or what the prices were. But I can tell you, if you want a taste of a genuine San Diego style taco shop, this is it (going at 2:30 AM is an optional step).
Cheers!
Stopped in for lunch and ordered a carne asada burrito (smothered). A word to the wise... the burrito is as big as your head... I think it's bigger than Chipotle. And it was stuffed with carne asada and some guacamole... no rice, beans, or extras... all meat. It was HUGE! The green chile that smothered it was fantastically spicy... it left my lips warm when I left... and that's what I like.
My pseudo hubby ordered the 5 rolled tacos with guacamole... they are essentially small taquitos... they were tasty too, but I don't know if I'd get them for my entire meal.
They also have a red & green salsa at the counter that you can serve yourself to go with your dish. The red sauce had really good flavor and a little spice - not quite as a hot as the green chile. The green salsa seemed more of a tomatillo and was heavy on the cilantro for us.
My gigantic burrito was 3.95 +1.25 smothered ... you can't beat that price. The whole menu was affordable. Next time I'll have to try the tamales!
Every time I come here I set out on a mission not to order the Super Nachos, and almost every time I fail. They have the cheapest and best 'road side' Mexican in the state. The dine in area is just a couple booths, and in the winter it is cold as hell, but worth it. They are also open 24 hours and they have a drive through.
I'm not going to lie to you; Raliberto's could change your life.
One of the best things that came out of Yum Brands was the plethora of Taco Bells turned into authentic Mexican Food establishments spread across the United States. Ralibertos is one of those gems located in the middle of America and is so typically next to a Wenchells Donuts and Goodyear Tire. I once worked pretty far down on Sheridan at a waterski shop, i knew nothing about waterskis, and this was my lunch for that summer. Everything is amazing, from the California Burrito to the tacos. If you are heading down South from Boulder to any number of skateparks this is a must detour!
Yes. San Diego native here. We know our sh*t when it comes to taco stands. Even us SD honkeys know a little more about the real deal than most hispanics. This So Cal style shack. Not the best (i.e. Roberto's, Cotija's, ect...) but really does the job while here in Colorado. I know that there are more places like this in the hispanic area of Denver. I am going to check them out. Carne Asada burrito w/ sour cream, rolled taco's, bean and cheese with guac and sour cream. Damn good snap.
Finally a real authentic Mexican hole in the wall. I moved to denver from san diego about 5 years ago and have been searching for that authentic cheap mexican restaurant.. Randomly, we saw Ralibertos and decided to give a try. The carne asada plate is incredible. They also have really good salsa, a bit hot, but I can handle it. Definitely worth driving to, wish there were one closer here in denver.....If you're looking for Cali mex, this is the closest thing to it, although no fish tacos.
