Hands down some of the BEST TACOS IN MINNESOTA! I went to school nearby Giliberto's and since 2016 this place has been a staple for me and my college friends. To this day they're still serving amazing, fast, fresh and tasty food. You will not be disappointed. Literally everything on the menu hits. My go order includes al pastor, chicharrón and asada tacos. The chicharrón tacos might be my favorite and it's because they serve the crispiest chicharrón on top of smashed beans (frijoles refritos) and I think it's genius. The esquites (corn in a cup) is also out of this world. Pro tip : if dining in, be sure to grab some salsas and toppings from their salsa cart. I love the fresh pineapples they serve as well (icing on the top for the al pastor tacos). AND THEY'RE open 24/7 ;) read more

I recently came here because I was hungry one day after work and thought why not tacos so I came here and I gotta say it's really worth the money for how much you get I really enjoyed the chicken burrito I really got to sit down it's kinda a small area but it's got nice character to it I was able to sneak in a bottle of tobacco sauce and pour it all into my burrito and later that night some unpleasant toilet activities happened 8/10 really recommend don't bring the sauce the after math was pretty bad read more

Giliberto's Mexican Taco Shop - Me when 7. Chicken Burrito and Cheese Enchilada - Mexican Near Me - St Cloud, Minnesota

The food here is excellent and affordable priced. Everything is fresh made and high quality. The staff is so friendly and helpful as well.

This place has great, authentic Mexican food at an affordable price. The interior is pretty basic, but cozy and comfortable. They provide counter service and the food is cooked and presented in a quick, timely manner. There is a salsa bar with a basic selection of salsa and pickled veg. I always order the rolled tacos, which are basically the same as Taquitos. I also get street tacos frequently. I have never been disappointed with the food or service. As an added bonus, there is also a drive through! read more

I absolutely love this place. While there may be other taco shops that have better, more authentic tacos. Gilbertos does everything right while also being authentic. The menu is incredibly expansive, and there is something for everybody. They are open 24hrs and do have a breakfast menu. They have a salsa bar, which isn't often seen in Central MN. Amble inside seating as well. Highlights on the menu are their elote, carne asada tacos, grilled chicken quesadilla, churros, their and super fries/nachos. Be warned the parking lot isn't huge, so it can be tough to get a spot when it's busy. The drive thru can also get pretty backed up. read more

Some of the best Mexican food ever.. have had their tacos and burritos thru the take out.. well worth our time to go a little out of our way coming or going to our up north destinations!! read more

Hands down the best authentic Mexican food we've had since moving north--rivals the top taquerias in California! This 24-hour spot is a hidden gem. The flavors are bold, fresh, and truly authentic--just like the street tacos and burritos we used to love back in Cali. Every bite reminded us of home. The tortillas are fresh, the meats are perfectly seasoned, and the salsas are packed with flavor. Whether it's 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., this place delivers. If you're craving real-deal Mexican food, this is it. read more

I've been here many times over the years. It was great in college. But when they opened their store near campus, the prices were much higher... and with COVID, it never was open much after. As for the food? It has gone downhill. It's not the same. And if you eat there, you eat out of styrofoam take out containers. Ambiance? People can be really loud. There are no places to charge your phone or laptop (this is a key target market people... 24 hrs for college students???). When paying, I feel obligated to tip someone typing my order--yes, they spin it for you to tip rather than hit next. I find it rude if there is no service. So, what used to be an "inexpensive" college town burrito (but open 24 hours) for $10, has now become like $15-$16. And you will never not eat out of styrofoam again.... and also won't be given forks (gotta go search for those at the self serve station -- honestly don't order in?)... but if I'm servicing myself, why would I tip anyone? It's pricey. Too pricey for styrofoam in house. And the quality of the food has gone down so much. This place used to be a hit... but, now, no one even talks about it anymore. So, my rating is based on now... quality, price, speed: you get two of three every time for many scenarios... they have speed, yet not the others. read more

So we had this bitch at window at first who wouldn't give me enough hot sauce had to ask a whole 3 times shit was diabolical then we got a chicken burrito at first and then came back returned the chicken burrito and got this how fucked ain't it read more

Words cannot describe how good the food is. Its late hours make it a go to place at all times. The staff is always kind.

Great local spot. Large menu offerings. Fast service. Had the cabeza and adobada tacos, both great. Indoor seating or drive thru. Self serve salsa and condiment bar inside. read more

Giliberto's Mexican Taco Shop - Adobada Taco (left), Cabeza Taco x2 (right). Both with extra onion/cilantro. - Mexican Near Me - St Cloud, Minnesota

So I've been a loyal customer for years and this time I'm appalled at how small my tamale is. The one on the right is half the size compared to the (normal size) on the left. One would think after waiting 30 plus minutes and watched others who ordered after me get their food before me(one guy order two separate orders. And he got all his food) they would be bigger in size as I get them all the time. yet I was still waiting and got This puny size. In addition this size is just not acceptable particularly when the wait time is this long and when it's almost 25 dollars. I don't get it. My hibiscus drink also was handed to me way less then full. Really disappointed. Likely won't be back. As it seems to be VERY hit or miss lately. It's a shame cause I really liked this place and go at least once a week. read more

Ordered the super fry burrito and it looked very promising upon first opening it. However, after taking a few bites I couldn't seem to manage to find a single piece of "steak" in the burrito that wasn't a fatty gristle piece. The "steak" was clearly a cheap cut, unlike the burrito priced at $10.25. You would think for the minimal ingredients on the burrito that they would make sure that the meat would hold up to justify the price and the fries would be appropriately cooked. As for the service, the employee who took our order was muffled and seemed annoyed. He asked if I'd like sauce but didn't clarify if there was a choice or if he was just gonna give every kind before closing the window. I went through the drive thru so I don't know how to rate the ambiance. Best advice if you choose to eat here: don't order the steak. read more

One suggestion is to drain some grease before adding it to your nachos , otherwise still good.

Love this place so much! So accommodating and awesome atmosphere. Really affordable and always quick. Best Mexican food in Minnesota!

Huevos rancheros for two and a choose-your-own-adventure salsa bar for breakfast? Yes, please. In fact, it's even better if you're enjoying it after running a marathon. Trust us on this. We love little family-owned, non-chain, all-local shops. Giliberto's fits the bill, and we were shocked (as Texans) to find something this good in St Cloud, MN. It's the real deal and worth stopping at once ... or twice! read more

Great breakfast burrito! Machaca shredded beef well worth it. Friendly clean atmosphere.

If you're in the area and looking for some good tacos beans and rice, this place will make you smile .

So wonderful. Great food. Good service. Tiny place but totally worth it. Ages 10-45.... All loved it.

I ordered two breakfast burritos for a quick take out meal. Very good tasting and generous portions. Highly recommend.

Best authentic Mexican food in Minnesota and I lived in California all my life, not to mention I'm Hispanic.

I really like this place. The food was fresh and tasty. You enter and go to the counter and place your order. The plastic silverware is on the counter and the salsa stand is in the dining area. I have only been here once but I plan to return the next time I'm in Saint cloud. read more

My nephew who attends St. Cloud state let me on this small hole in the wall Mexican taco shop close to campus. Super small (10 tables total) shop, open 24/7 with a drive through, and they crank out some quick tasty eats! I ordered the chicken chimichanga, my nephew got the Arizona burrito, and my husband got the steak breakfast burrito. Everything came out within 5-10 minutes delivered to our table! All workers are incredibly kind and helpful when I had a million questions and adjustments to my order (I have a tough time with on the spot decisions at new restaurants..). I'm so happy with my order, the chicken in my chimichanga was incredibly flavorful, I loved the crisp and flakiness of the tortilla shell, and the rice had a good balance of flavor! read more

Food is good but the place could be cleaner. They are not too delivery driver friendly. Always expect a wait. Open 24 hours is a plus.

I moved to St. Cloud for college and I often miss my mothers cooking and I always go to Gilbertos to satisfy my Mexican food cravings. I've never had a bad experience and their food is the closest to authentic Mexican food there is in St. Cloud! I would definitely recommend the Gorditas with whatever meat you would like. I also encourage others to go outside of their comfort zone and try something from their menu that they haven't tried before because they have so many items on their menu that you won't find at any other Mexican restaurant around here! :) read more

Giliberto's Mexican Taco Shop - Adobada Gorditas - Mexican Near Me - St Cloud, Minnesota

I hate to write a bad review because we loved this place. Being from San Diego, my fiancé found this place to be good. However, tonight they got his order wrong and when he said that that wasn't what he ordered the woman at the drive thru argued with him saying "ok this time this time only" it's ok there won't be a next time. Our tacos are completely burnt and burrito was ok In the past we didn't have any issues read more

Giliberto's Mexican Taco Shop - Burnt tacos Tasted awful - Mexican Near Me - St Cloud, Minnesota

So I come to this place often. But lately it's been very hit or miss. Do yourself a favor and skip the burritos. They aren't that good. But there tacos are the best in St. Cloud. However these ones were pure garbage. First off where are the toppings? And second how can u classify this as fish? It looks days old. And I'm especially disappointed because I waited almost 15 minutes for supposed fresh fish..I'm not one to complain but this was pretty bad. Do better. I really want to love you guys! But I'm the mean time skip this place. These last few instances have been horrible. read more

Giliberto's Mexican Taco Shop - Fish tacos, where's the fish? Where's the toppings? Quite disappointed especially since I waited so long in line. - Mexican Near Me - St Cloud, Minnesota

I waited for 30mins to watch staff give my plain food to people that ordered 10mins ago and bringing back my food saying this isn't what I ordered. Then when I say yes let's hurry and get my food before I want my money back, the guy went and gave me my money back and said have a nice day!! I looked at him in shock and said I am not getting my food, he said no!! WILL NEVER BE BACK! read more

Horrible service very un cleanly found some hair in our taco and they said it was just the grill brush and told us to eat around it

Delighted on their breakfast selection and feeling rice early in the morning! That's the perk of having an authentic Mexican food place that is 24/7. Went through the drive thru...decided on the huevos rancheros with chorizo and horchata. Picked up my order with added condiments like pico de gallo, pickled carrots, green verde sauce and hot sauce. As soon as you open the container, the delicious smell of spicy chorizo fill your nostrils. It normally comes with refried beans but I opt for double rice. Love the Mexican rice, 3 fried eggs with runny yolk smothered with cheese on top, pico de Gallo and the chorizo. I drenched my rice with all the different sauce and topped up with guacamole. Every bite was delicious with all the different spiciness and then take a bite of the pickled carrot. So addicting! Remember you might have to ask for the pickled carrots, they don't automatically come with your meal but they are complimentary! Of course get a drink of good cinnamon horchata...thick and sweet delicious rice milk ends the meal! read more

love the street tacos!! Best ones I have ever had. And they are open 24/7!! What else can you ask for??

On a road trip with my husband. Stopped in here for a quick lunch. We love Mexican food and this place was as authentic as our vacations to Mexico. The dine-in has a lovely salsa bar (so good).

This Mexican Restaurant I happen to run into by mistake and was glad that I did. I ordered a taco salad with chicken it is was perfect. Service was great, Nora the manager was polite, helpful and very friendly. I love Mexican food, and it is hard to find places like this where you can get in and out and enjoy a great meal. I was also happy how fast my food was ready, I sat down and then Nora brought it to me. I will visit again to try different menu options, but so far this is my favorite in St Cloud. read more
