Alberto's Crystal Cafe

Always been a great place with great food. With the new location it's even better!

Food was great, they don't batter and fry their chile rellenos which is the first time they've been served to me without the batter and fried coating. I don't have a problem with it, actually I enjoyed it without, less calories. Also the young lady who took my phone order was very polite and helpful and spoke great English which is a plus for gringos like me. Place was very busy, always a good sign...now back on the road to Florida!

Was quite surprised. Upon pulling up, it's a small establishment, but it was busy. So that's a good sign. The inside atmosphere was nice. I was a bit worried service would be bad due to it being a small place, busy crowd and young staff, but they were actually on top of it. Food came in good time and it was fresh and piping hot! When I mean hot I mean do not touch the plate or you will burn yourself, lol. The food was great. All in all I give them a 4 +. 4 for atmosphere, service and food and the + for cute lil spanish hostess girls, lol.

Coupon deal was not a good deal, only one meal to choose from and it was a big disappointment, the rice seemed under cooked, and the enchilada taisted like cardboard, even the taco had little taist. But the cashier was very nice and helpful. Sorry to say I won't be returning.

I am not sure I believe the great 5 star reviews this place has so I’m gonna leave a real one. My family and I stopped in here for lunch today and were so disappointed. We have not been here in a while due to family members moving away from Big Spring and passing away, but it has always been a favorite of ours for many years. That is no longer the case after our experience today.

Upon walking in, we were abruptly asked to wait out in the hallway (lobby) until she got our table put together for the 5 of us. Right off the bat they seemed totally inconvenienced and annoyed that we stepped foot in their restaurant. The young girl with her hair in a clip that brought us our chips and dip was the friendliest out of them all. Girl that brought us our drinks didn’t crack a smile or anything. She acted annoyed that she even had to take our drink order in the first place. The waitress slammed our scalding hot plates down and walked away. The fly issue needs to be addressed. We had to swat away flies the entire time we ate which was also right by the kitchen door. Food was not that great, definitely not as good as we remember it being in the past. Enchilada sauce was so thick, queso tastes like Mayo, and the rice and beans taste like they are boxed/canned. I also believe it is utterly ridiculous and greedy to charge $0.50 for a glass of water!!

This may just be our opinion and our experience, but we will not be back to this restaurant.

Small restaurant but packed. Must be popular with locals.

One of our favorite places. We've been longtime guests and we love the staff. Always met with friendly hellos and how are yous.
Food is pretty good, and service is quick and on point. Drinks are always filled and food hot upon delivery.
We've done takeout/ delivery a few times too, and always had a great experience.

I ordered cheese enchiladas and the cheese inside was not meet l melted.

May I suggest you go to Alberto's. The food is excellent, service was great and so is the atmosphere. It's a little pricey but it's worth it.

I food was great totally enjoyed it I'll be back
