I got the bean and cheese burrito with added shredded chicken and it might have been the best bean and cheese burrito I've ever had. It was so delicious. It was stuffed so full that I had filling all over my hands but I didn't care because it tasted so great. This was my first time going here and I can't wait to go back. I might not eat at any other restaurant for awhile because of how great my food was. I highly recommend Gilberto's.
Ordered chips and a 16oz container of red salsa. What we got was definitely not red salsa. It looked and smelled like broth, possibly broth that goes with Birria Taco. Drove there and back specifically for chips and salsa just to not be able to eat it. It was busy so I understand if it could have been a mistake.
This place is open 24/7 indoor and drive through. That alone makes it special when these days almost all of the 24 hour venues have shut down.
Today I had the Mexican burger, and frankly did not like it. But I have had many other dishes here previously, and always found them tasty and portioned well for the price.
Two key points about Gilberto's: they have the best elote I have ever had, and they have a salsa bar.
I should also mention they have a large menu, with several items you do not find at "Americanized Mexican" resteraunts.
A Mexican friend told me once that if you want authentic tasty food, go to the ones that look plain and shabby outside. The colorful ones that look like a Nexican parade on the outside are the ones to avoid. I have eaten Mexican from Texas to North Dakota and have found the sa e to be wise words. Gilberto's might be in the heart of the Midwest, but they are tasty and authentic.
Fast hot fresh food. Great price. Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.
I ordered a breakfast sausage burrito, 2 shredded beef tacos, and a fish taco. Let me tell you it was so so good. I live like an hour away but it is so worth the drive to come here. Definitely will be a go to place when I’m craving tacos and burritos! They also have many other options for food. :)
