The Flying Burrito Brothers Albany

"The food is good, although it didn't quite reach the level of perfection I remember from years past. The fried chicken tacos remain a dependable choice. The frozen margaritas stood out with their silky texture. It's worth mentioning that parking in the vicinity can be quite a challenge, so plan accordingly."

"Arriving at the venue, finding a carpark can be difficult, as the parking space is shared with other vendors. Walking into the Mexican resturante, The Flying Burrito Brothers Albany, there was a lovely display of candles up the wall, on the opposite side was the bar with liquor displayed up the wall a range of tequilas, beer, wines and non alcoholic beverages to choose from. It looked very clean and tidy. At the reception / front desk, a sign was displayed informing diners of there being a staff shortage. To expect delays. It was nice of them to have a sign informing diners, giving the diners a choice to be patient and kind to staff or dine at another restaurant in the area. We were greeted and seated. If you have a wide butt the outdoor seats are more comfortable with a wider base. Seated outside, the heaters were put on, and blankets were offered. Looking at the Mexican menu, the flying Burrito Brothers Albany offers vegetarian options. Noticed on the menu, all main dishes are medium spice. This did put me off a little. Medium spice? We're not all the same. What they think is medium spice might be mild for me or super spicy. I ordered a dessert, Banana Chimichanga. It's a banana wrapped in a tortilla fried served with caramel sauce drizzle around the plate and ice cream. The fried tortilla had a nice crisp crunchy texture, and the warm soft banana element combined with the caramel sauce and ice cream worked well together. Added some complimentary hot sauce to the dessert to spice it up. I enjoyed the chili hot sauce over the green hot sauce. I also ordered a Mexican hot chocolate to enjoy with the dessert. The Mexican hot chocolate was served in a beautiful mug. However, lacked the Mexican flavor of being spiced with cinnamon. Following the dessert, I ate the Quesadillas de yaca. A medium hot sautéed jackfruit, cheese and fruit salsa quesadillas served with a side a Mexican rice, black beans, and salsa. The meal tasted fine and was presented nicely."

"Yummy food and drinks, decent portion sizes. The lighting in the outside area could be improved (everyone struggled to read the menu) and the metal chairs are hard and cold to sit on. Also with a birthday party of 9 guests and $650 spend I would have expected a birthday dessert to be included. The churros were not that great."

"Came here with my family for a Sunday lunch. The staff are very friendly and our server was lovely. Atmosphere of the restaurant is always so fun and lovely. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Portions are great for a fair price. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and midday desserts."

"My work team had lunch here, a group of 13, without a booking (bit of a glitch on our part). The staff handled everything so well. Polite, cheerful, great service. The food was outstanding! All round a great venue, will definitely return."
