    Fish burrito
    Julia T.

    This was a great place to have a late night dinner after hiking in Arches at sunset. Large portion sizes, good food, not the most flavorful but quite decent, and pretty fast to come out. Would recommend if you're finishing a hike late and need somewhere to eat in Moab.

    Carnitas burrito, mild verde sauce
    Guy D.

    This place is so solid! HUGE portions and great tastes, sold in a small interior with little seating. There is a huge outdoor patios though with shade and good breeze. The Asada Nachos are ridiculously sized, trust me on only getting the half portion, unless you are feeding 2 people! Carnitas burrito is always good, just like the nachos! Queso and chips side is huge as well and served us three times as an addition to other meals in Moab. You walk in and order from a host at the counter, menu behind them is massive so take your time. Prices are regular for Moab but a little steep for the place you are ordering in....but then the food delivers!! Will be back EVERY-TIME we traverse Moab, thanks!!

    This place is so awesome that I came here daily for breakfast while I was visiting. Their breakfast burritos are really good and similar to what you find in West Texas. Don't sleep on this place, it's probably the best Mexican restaurant in town.

    Beef Enchilada

    I came here the morning of Moab Locals' 10K race. The two tacos I got were delicious, as were the rice and refried beans. I also got a horchata to drink, good as always. A couple weeks later, I got an enchilada for takeout. I didn't like it as much. I also got a jamaica to drink, which was great.

    Carnitas Burrito
    Albert T.

    Another berto's, another visit, this one being in the middle of Moab. For a day trip to Canyonlands, we decided to go early morning to pick up some items for takeout to eat at the park. Luckily they have their entire menu available all day - I think the only difference is that they don't have the salsa bar set up yet. Instead, the cashier offers hot (fiery red and smoky) or mild (green tomatillo) salsa. We also overheard some customers ask for avocado sauce and habenero salsa in Spanish. I guess those have to be asked for separately? Carnitas Burrito ($12.50) - This burrito is decently sized at around 3 inch wide by 9 inch long. It's pretty simply constructed with carnitas, crisped up nicely and flavorful, pico, nice and fresh, and some avocado sauce. It's wrapped up well in a flour tortilla that's been warmed on the flat top until it develops a bit of color and becomes nice and supple in texture. The interior is only a bit moist from the pico and sauce, which means that salsa is required to add a bit more into each bite. (4/5) Adobada Huarache ($12.50) - I haven't had this dish before so was excited to see what it would be like. This dish first starts with a fried masa patty base. It's deep fried until crisp and works so well is a base for the toppings. There's refried beans spread on the patty that kind of glues the rest of the ingredients on. On top, we have the adobada, which isn't fried especially well, being soaked in juices, making it moist on the outside, yet dry on the interior. The flavor is pretty good, kind of fruity with a little sweetness. In addition to the meat, there's a pleasing mix of sour cream, shreds of lettuce, sliced avocado, and cojita cheese crumbles. I feel like the huarache can't really be eaten with hands alone, but the cashier didn't provide us with utensils. (4/5) Giliberto's certainly serves some solid food. As expected for being in a small tourist town, though, it's a bit pricier than similar restaurants elsewhere. In fact, we had just visited a -berto's in Grand Junction a couple of days prior, and were surprised at the 40% surcharge Giliberto's. Again, it's kind of expected, so this isn't a complaint by any means! I'd still revisit next time I'm in Moab. Note: Gilberto charges a 75 cent "technology fee" for any order, which I did not see them display anywhere. I only found out about this because I requested a receipt.

    Eggs chorizo and cheese burrito. Plenty for two.
    Jon L.

    Best breakfast burrito in history. The tortilla feels freshly made with a bit of crisp and it has three ingredients--eggs, cheese and chorizo. No potatoes! It's a bit enormous for breakfast but damn if it's not exactly how I like a breakfast burrito.

    Fried fish, shrimp, steak, and grilled chicken tacos
    Amanda L.

    I unfortunately did not enjoy my meal here. I ordered four different tacos and they were all extremely bland. The lack of seasoning and flavor was astounding. The lime served with the tacos was basically my hero. The only reason I will give 3 stars instead of 2 is that they do not skimp on the meat. The portions were generous but supremely lacking in flavor.

    Carne asada and chicken plates with chips and queso
    Evalani C.

    Food was amazing. First time in Moab. Had been driving for 10 hours and was hungry. This hit the spot! The queso was so good as were the chips with it. Didn't taste like the cheap queso you get other places. The carne asada and chicken plates were very good as well. We ate outside and loved that option since being in a car all day. It was evening and dark and the lights on the patio gave it great ambience and felt restful after a long day. Perfect meal to end the evening.

    Super shitty nachos

    Went here on June 27th and ordered the super nachos with ground beef. I don't know what we actually got but it was disgusting, what a waste of money we had to pitch it. Stay the fuck away from this place

    order water and they give you a dinky small cup. so sit near to refill
    Rhonda W.

    3 nights in town and thought we would try Mexican ... being out west thought it might be something special. We got here and saw it was more a fast food eating out Styrofoam containers. Bathrooms outside. Prices weren't bad but for was just meh. It didn't have flavor but the salsa we got to add flavor was wayyyyyy tooo hot for me. I was really torn between 3 or 4 stars. it was just ok and to be honest we wouldnt return.

    Two orange Fantas

    So we had a nice day mountain biking, put in about 15 miles and we were starving. Really craving some good Mexican food. We checked out a few places online and those that had alcohol, the dinner prices were very expensive easily $22 a person in fact one location had just a bean tostada that was almost $16. Utah makes it very difficult for restaurants to either get a liquor license and when they do it's extremely expensive. We are also in the tourism area in Moab. So we tried out Gilberto's Mexican taco shop. You walk in order off the menu and they'll bring it to you. We had a couple of orange fans. We both ordered the fish taco combo plate and it was very good and hit the spot. Service was timely. Sat outside in the nice shaded and sunny patio. It is right on the strip and can get a bit noisy outside but after a long day, the food really satisfied. If you're looking for a beer or a cold drink after a ride check out the other spots, such as taverns and breweries once you've had a good meal.

I have eaten here with my friend the last couple trips to Moab and it has been just perfect each time! The service is fast and very friendly. The skinny margaritas are terrific, no sugary mix and not an overwhelming amount of lime juice. My food was spot on too. We sat outside which is under cover and shaded but you can still see the street and sidewalk. Kinda feels like a sidewalk cafe there. They also have seating inside. This is a great spot a little off the beaten path on Main Street and a great finish to a big day mountain biking in the desert. Big kudos to the wait staff! They seem to work as a team which really improves the customer experience over other places that don't practice this method of service.

Unfortunately, they just completely forgot to cook my food. When the rest of my table got theirs, there was no trace of mine, and when they noticed the problem it seemed that they had to cook it entirely from scratch, so I didn't get my food until the rest of my family had finished and my kids were antsy to leave. Also, when the food did arrive, it wasn't what I ordered, and frankly I did not want to eat it, but at that point I was too hungry and dispirited to complain. I know, I know, this kind of thing could be a one-off; things happen. But you only get so many nights in Moab, and it happened to me, and I did not like it!

One thing I loved about this spot was the misters set up around the seating area--they made a huge difference and kept us cool on a very hot day. We ordered six street tacos: two shrimp, two asada, one adobada, and one barbacoa, which came to about $27. The food was served quickly, and overall the tacos had a nice spice level and good flavor. They were a bit on the salty side, but still enjoyable. One thing I found unusual was that they didn't double up the tortillas like many taco places do, which made them slightly more fragile. It's a convenient, tasty, and casual stop if you're in Moab and want a quick meal outdoors with a relaxed vibe.

Being a taco addict, this place was a no brainer. The word around the park is $3 street tacos...duh. The service was gracious both time we went and enjoyable. We had the Carne Asada and Pork street tacos, 3 a piece for $3 a piece. They come with the protein and onions and cilantro. We added pico sides and a chips and salsa side. You have to get both salsa's, medium red and hot green. The hot sauce is legit, so much depth and flavor but will light you up for an extended period! The park itself offers a common table area, covered and lit. We went back the next night it was so good, highly recommended!
