      Lots of "-bertos" out there, but nothing really beats Armando's! I decided they deserve my 5-star rating because the food is awesome, and I shouldn't take away a star because I get frustrated trying to find parking. Although a better location might have been better, but you can't leave now. Everyone knows you guys are here! Sooooo I will continue to deal with the parking.

      They no longer have indoor seating (as you can see from the picture attached) they have kept it this way since covid.

      Decent prices, but they have definitely gone up in the last couple of years. They again what prices haven't gone up. Still worth it.

      We have tried their carne asada burritos, carne asada chips and fries, breakfast burritos, street tacos, rolled tacos....you can't go wrong here! The only thing they don't have is my Orange Bang!

      Finally Armando's taco shop is letting costumers eat at the shop . We weren't unable to eat at the shop for almost 2-3 yrs or so maybe more ever since the corona virus. Well now you are allowed to sit down and eat your food comfortably not only that food is delicious and I always ask for my fries to be crispier on the outside and tender in the inside and they do just that . Love yum carne asada fries the bomb

      Things have been different since Juan's work doesn't work there at night. This is a picture of a burnt burrito that I would've never ordered.

      This is a burnt burrito and they don't answer the phone when you call when they mess up the food people skyrocket their prices i

      One of the good ones left standing. Roberto's keep letting me down but this spot has been consistent. Armando's is open 24 hours and the portion sizes are bigger than anywhere else. Service is not very good sometimes but their food makes up for it.

      I go ahead and place an order on the phone, the guy on the phone was rude and had no manners. I get there with my lady, the guy tells me the amount so I pull out some cash and hand it to him. However, there was a $10 bill that I had on the counter, this guy goes ahead and grabs it. I didn't see it but my lady did, she said it was $24 not $34 then he hands me the $10 back. Also found egg shells in my machaca burrito. Never coming back again not even the homeless want to go there. Unfortunately I have to give a star rating I wouldn't even give 0 stars.
