We were in a drive down to Carmel in the rain on a Friday night. My husband had been wanting some authentic tacos for a while. We took the first it for Gilroy and said we would drive until we saw an easily accessible taqueria.
We turned off the main road we exited on and saw Gaeta's Taquería on the opposite side of the street. We pulled a U-turn and parked right alongside the restaurant.
When we parked, I quickly looked up the restaurant and saw it received great reviews. We could see into the restaurant from the street and it was empty, so we were a little skeptical.
We walked in and were greeted immediately and given menus. I am a big fan of birria tacos so I ordered two Quesabirria tacos and my husband ordered Tres Tacos Dorados.
Omg. The food came out very quickly (we were the only patrons). We were very happy with our respective dishes. The quesabirria tacos were delicious. The consommé was tasty. My husband was very pleased with his tacos, too!
The restaurant was still decorated for the holidays and it was cute and inviting.
If you are looking for some yummy Mexican food and you're driving down past Gilroy, make the stop at Gaeta's. You won't be disappointed! read more
