Alba's

★ 3.8 / 5 (631 reviews)

A cozy, colorful neighborhood taqueria celebrated for authentic, homemade Mexican cooking — from chilaquiles and tacos to tamales, pozole and mole. Regulars praise the warm, attentive owner and rustic, flavorful dishes that keep locals coming back for takeout or casual meals. The room is unpretentious and homey, though patrons note occasional service hiccups: sporadic online-order cancellations, inconsistent hours and variable tamale quality. Overall, a beloved, flavor-forward spot for those seeking genuine homestyle Mexican.
