I came here for the first time a few months ago and it's my favorite place to eat in the area. The burritos are so good (and they're HUGE) and everyone is so friendly.

We were visiting a friend in 29 Palms and we wanted to have lunch and I googled Mexican food on yelp and of course I got hits on several in Yucca Valley. For me a Mexican restaurant has to have a salsa bar and this one at Algoberto's exceeded our expectations. I was told that all the salsa are made fresh daily. They had a great selection of meats and many choices to eat them. My husband and had chicken burrito and let me tell you, they are very generous with the meat and there are no rice and bean fillers like other Mexican restaurants. We have been eating Mexican food in San Diego, and Riverside county and I'm not lying when I tell you this food was so well seasoned that you don't even need any salsa on it to enjoy it. As we were leaving 29 Palms we decided to go back and try the Large Asada and chicken tacos for dinner. We enjoyed them so much that we ordered 2 more to go with toppings on the side. I wish they had a restaurant in more locations in Southern California. We highly recommend this restaurant for those who enjoy good Mexican food made with love. We will definitely be back next year. The staff was also nice and very helpful answering our questions, I don't remember the young lady during lunch but Deni took our order for dinner, he was very kind and generous to us. It might look like a small taco shop from the outside but the inside is large and very welcoming. Thank you so much for the amazing food!

My family stopped here on our way to Joshua Tree National Park and all enjoyed the food. We are in and enjoyed the service and convenient seating. Other families seemed to also enjoy themselves. We got chicken and vegetarian burritos and enjoyed them. Next time I would like to explore more of the menu as it all looked delicious. My two sons enjoyed the gumball pinball machine on the way out!

I was craving burritos on my way back to the desert from Big Bear... Behold this golden beauty Algoberto's! We ordered two chicken burritos, I added beans to mine. The staff was really nice and the ambiance is what you expect of a family owned taco shop. For just about $12, this burrito is pretty big *excuse my giant bites taken before remembering a photo lol* The chicken is unlike any other chicken burrito I've had at a shop. It's marinated and seasoned perfectly, then add some delicious salsas from the salsa bar and wow!!! Explosion of flavors, spice, everything delicious that you were looking for! My only regret today was ordering a medium Jamaica Agua instead of a large. The decision has been made that we will drive 45 minutes to get burritos the next time we want a delicious chicken burrito

Algobertos Taco Shop reminded us of the delicious Mexican food that we liked to eat when we lived in LA. The employees were friendly. The food was so good, we went two days in a row. The inside has plenty of seating and a salsa bar. We will definitely come back if we were in the area again.

Four of us came to Algoberto's Taco Shop for a late lunch around 2:00PM after hiking around Joshua Tree. We arrived hungry and everything on their large menu of combo plates, specials, burritos, tacos, etc. sounded delicious. The cashier was super personable, greeted us and encouraged us to take our time while reviewing the menu. She said her favorite meat was the cabeza (cow cheek), so I knew I at least had to get that! After ordering, we helped ourselves to the salsa bar in the 10 minutes or so that our food was being prepared. We learned that all their salsas are homemade and there were plenty to choose from! The cashier gladly stepped away from the counter to explain the differences between the green and red salsas in terms of cooking method and spice level. We really appreciated her taking the time. I liked the light green tomatillo one the best... it had a fresh herby flavor with the perfect acidity to offset the savory meats. + CABEZA TACO ($2.50): I was speechless as I ate this... it was impeccable. The beef literally melted in my mouth and was SO tender. This didn't even need any salsa; the meat completely shined on its own! I could have easily eaten a whole box of these, which is saying a lot, since I normally prefer leaner cuts of meat. + AL PASTOR COMBO ($14): The pork was very heavily spiced and had a fair amount of heat to it, topped with cilantro and onion. I wish it came with some pineapple on top to add a little sweetness, since that is usually my favorite element of an al pastor taco. While I would have liked the actual flavor of the pork to be more apparent, the tacos were bursting with flavor, were about double the size of a street taco and came generously filled. The combo included a side of rice and beans which both tasted homemade. Everything was piping hot, so much so that I could barely hold my tacos, but no complaints there! I recommend this independent taco spot if you're around Joshua Tree. We'd just suggest sticking to the tacos as one person in my group was the only one to order enchiladas and sadly did not love them. 4.25 stars.
