    Calling in your order works best. Soup is hearty and delicious, but so are the California and Carne Asada burritos. Bean, cheese, and rice burritos are a great option plus their taquitos! The Monster burrito is perfect for gatherings or a party.

    This is a togo window only, it isn't a seating restaurant. After visiting this location I find the quality and portion size far superior to the jilbertos in Rincon. Although there isn't seating, it's worth swinging in. The cook pumped my food out extremely fast, and the portions were explosive. The size of the burrito is what we used to get in Rincon before the prices went up and the sizes shrank. The flautas were huge, and delicious. The burrito was on point, and big! Just the way we always expected it from jilbertos. Did I mention the prices are also still reasonable and not covid inflated?

    This place is one of those “hole in the wall” locations thats located inside of a small market. It doesn’t look like much, but their food is delicious. I really liked their Carne Asada burrito. They pack it with lots of meat and flavor. The nachos and cali burrito were just as good. Kick it up a notch and serve yourself some salsas, especially the chipotle sauce. It’s a must. The only drawback is the long wait due to its popularity. I recommend that you call ahead.

    I stopped in at Jilberto’s Mexican Restaurant and was not disappointed. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor—exactly what you’d hope for from a solid local Mexican spot. The portions were generous, and everything tasted homemade. The staff was friendly and quick with service, even during a busy time. The California burrito hit the spot. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. If you’re in the area and craving good Mexican food, Jilberto’s is worth the stop!

    I enjoy Surf & Turf burritos. Hands down, this place makes the best money can buy. All their food is spectacular. It's not much to look at. It seems only the locals know about this place. It consists of a girl behind a podium screaming through a little square window which your food comes out from. There's no tables or chairs. But I promise you, you will have the best Mexican food you have ever had.
