Good food overall. Seemingly random operating hours and closures. We stopped in for an easy dinner knowing they close "early" by 7pm. But they weren't even open at 5 pm. No signs up either. Just a locked up door. Had the campechanos burrito. Side of chips, guac, and queso were expensive. The esquite was terrible - definitely don't recommend that. It was frozen bland corn with lots of mayo. FYI- Will surcharge for credit card use. read more

The "Df" in the name of this restaurant vexed me every time I saw it. Was it a sound? A typo? Then I visited Gil Tacos and thought I should actually look into it. It turns out Df is supposed to be D.F., capital D and capital F, as in Distrito Federal, the former name of Mexico City. So "Estilo D.F." means Mexico City-style. I've been trying to get Yelp to change the "Df" to "D.F." in the restaurant name, to no avail. So I had to write this little preface to appease the editor in me, and so that other people, who might also be wondering what Df means, knows what it means and how it's supposed to be spelled. Tacos! Gil Tacos specializes in tacos. They have a lot of tacos on their menu. This is the place to get those hardcore Mexican tacos, like lengua, tripe and cabeza. I am a softcore Mexican, so I opted for carnitas, al pastor and choriqueso. I got them Mexico City-style, which is with some diced onion and cilantro. The choriqueso was my favorite, and had a nice blob of cheese in it. The two pork tacos were a wee bit grisly and dry. Twice, I had to go up to the counter where the salsa was and douse my tacos in green chile salsa. The dry meat doesn't bother me as much as the gristle. I don't like fishing around in my mouth to pick out cartiledge. Salsa and chiles and things are at the front where you pick up your food. It's a communal thing. When you get your food, you can add salsa. That reminds me: You order at the counter, and they call your number. There's no table service. We also got a carne asada burrito, which I was told was excellent. Maybe I'll get a burrito the next time I visit, or a torta. But I had to get the tacos, because the word "tacos" is in this restaurant's name! How could I not? They have horchata and jamaica, and soft drinks in bottles and cans (like Mexican Coke). They also have beer in bottles. read more

Service was quick and helpful. Menu was full of classic, no frills options for reasonable prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was clean and quiet, with ample seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is a small countertop area with assorted pickled veggies and salsas you can add to enhance your meal. We were also glad to be able to purchase Jarritos, specifically the tamarind flavor, as it's our favorite yet hard to find in restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our choices! read more

I enjoyed the veggie taco here. It was filled to the brim with veggies, beans, and rice. The salsa is so good too. The side of rice and beans were good. Not dry and flavorful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly employees and large dining area, good for groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ample parking as well. read more

Gil's is a little hidden off 96th Street, you really have to be looking for it. We had lunch there the other day. The staff is super welcoming, engaging, friendly and attentive. We ordered and paid at the counter. Food comes out fairly quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room is slightly dated but really clean and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is an area for private parties. We took a booth. The menu offers a typical range of Mexican fare - tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tortas, etc. We were in the mood for a couple tacos. I had a shrimp and a chicken taco. The shrimp taco was delicious, fresh with plump grilled shrimp. The chicken taco was a really dry. Fortunately they offered sauces that helped with the dryness. I wouldn't get chicken again but the shrimp was great. My husband had a steak taco, which he devoured and said was delicious. He also had a chicken taco, which was dry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restrooms are large and clean. There was a changing table in the women's room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The parking lot is adequate although there were potholes on the access road. read more

I should not have waited so long to try Gil Tacos. I had a birria burrito and some chips and guacamole. The burrito was full of savory beef and melted cheese, and some other stuff that didn't matter. The dipping consommé only took the deliciousness up a few notches. One of the best things I've eaten in the past year, easily. The chips and guacamole were a little bland but I squeezed some lime into the guacamole and that helped. Gil taco is behind the gas station, where you turn to go to Woodland bowl, but turn right to get to the restaurant and left to go bowling. If you are going bowling, stop for a taco or two or a burrito first. read more

Some of the best tacos I had in Indy! The tacos were soft and savory, the fish taco was freshly fried and loaded with meat! The guacamole was fresh, not spicy, but a refreshing flavor.

The place is clean and tidy and h they have salsas and pickled vegetables available at the front counter so you can add as much as you want to your food. Will definitely keep coming back! read more

Happy they open a new location. I used to go to their Lynhurst location all the time while working. I went on a weekday and the parking lot was empty. Just me and the staff in the restaurant. This place doesn't get enough attention. This is on my top best taco spots in Indy. The food is excellent. The food is authentic tacos : 10 out of 10 The price is affordable and the staff are friendly. Like I said this is one of the best taco place here in Indy. read more

Tucked inside a former Bob Evans, the northside of town finally gets a great, authentic taco place. These are the same folks that run Gil Tacos on Lynhurtst. Tacos are individually ordered and made-to-order. Tortas have a good amount of toppings on them. Very casual environment, ample parking but you have to pull into the side road near the BP to get to the restaurant. Follow the signs. Birria tacos are only served on weekends and are very flavorful. I didn't see consume on the menu, so not sure if they have it or not. Wife said these are among the best tacos she's had in a while. Come check out an Indianapolis staple at their new, second location! read more

I Tried 6 different tacos. All had great flavors. Tacos came with lots of sliced limes and cucumbers to cool your lips down because their salsas, fresh grated toppings and pickled veggies had nice heat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of comfortable seating and music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I drank a jamaica and husband had a modelo. Very friendly at the counter to order. Totally satisfied. read more

So glad, that we saw the big sign on our way to car dealership and decided to do a lunch take out! Well there have been multiple takeouts since then! Order by phone or even in the restaurant isnt much of a wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean and spacious - typical mexican restaurant type but food is more on the authentic side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So far tried their chorizo, campechanos, birria, al pastor, carnitas, choriqueso tacos amongst the entire family. Always great but their salsas are truly awesome! We always save the salsas for later use cos they are so good and spicy. Fair warning though that the salsas are not for mild spicy kind of people. Tried tamales as well and they are okay, guacamole was a bit of a disappointment though. Taco is where its at and we plan to stick with tacos at a frequent pace. read more

The Chips and Dips were pretty solid overall, but I was not impressed with the tacos. Usually I try the Asada Tacos and any specialty tacos (Gil Taco) when going to a new place because it's a good base level of comparison. The meat in both of my tacos was very dry. I usually enjoy adding sauces to my tacos, so that did help, but if you were to eat these plain, you'd be very disappointed. The service was acceptable. You order at the counter and the food comes out pretty quickly. It is also pretty difficult to find the entrance due to the way 96th St and Keystone are set up. Overall, I would give them another try if I was in the area, but it's not worth a detour. read more

Really good food loved the Burrito de pastor! Really quick service first time coming but 10/10

Totally let down and disappointed. I came here, strictly based upon these reviews. Our food was average at best. The only highlight was the salsa. The chips were extremely greasy. Our burritos were lacking in flavor. Decent size portions. Chips and salsa is extra, Six dollars for chips and salsa. Seems pretty steep in my opinion. We will not be returning. read more

After a long afternoon of grocery shopping I wanted to eat something I didn't need to cook, so I stopped by for a snack, and YUUUUM!! I'm kept it simple with chicken and steak tacos with a tiny drop of sauce and my only regret is not coming sooner. The location isn't hidden nor is it challenging to access. Two right turns from 96th street gets you straight to the flavor. I hope every seat is filled the next time I visit. read more
