I ordered brisket tacos from a food truck at an event. They were friendly and quick with service. Almost too quick since they literally handed me the tacos seconds after paying! I got 4 tacos for $13, which is reasonable given that it's brisket and they include avocado, onion, salsa. The brisket for me was lacking a bit in flavor, and was a bit dry. I'd probably try a different item in the future, or perhaps their brick and mortar is better quality. Overall though the taste was good and I'd go back to try what else they have! read more

Gorilla Smoke and Grill - Brisket tacos from food truck - Salad Near Me - Laredo, Texas

Delicious! Thank you Yelp! I gave this establishment a try because of the Yelp reviews and I wasn't disappointed. This is a casual restaurant. You'll order at the counter and they'll bring your food to you. I ordered the crispy conchinita tacos and fried dill pickle spears. I was alone and it was enough food for two at a reasonable price. The tacos were absolutely delicious. The fried pickles were on point and not too salty like some pickles when you order them. I would definitely visit again. read more

The food was alright overall. The brisket was soft, but it lacked flavor and seasoning. The fries were crispy, but the seasoning was inconsistent some pieces were salty while others had almost none. The crispy onion rings were the highlight of the burger; they added great texture and a satisfying snap. Adding barbecue sauce helped bring in some of the flavor the burger was missing. Overall, it was a decent burger, but not memorable. What really made me question returning was the service. The cashiers didn't greet me when I approached the counter, and they didn't hand me my drink or my order number. Finally, I noticed one of the cooks using his bare hands to grab fries while preparing an order. I really hope his hands were washed, because that raised a big concern about food safety. In the end, it was an okay experience, but there are several things that need improvement. The ambiance was nice set of characters like the neon signs and design of the place like the wood accent. read more

Gorilla Smoke and Grill - Best Onion Rings! - Salad Near Me - Laredo, Texas

Gorilla Smoke and Grill was recommended by a friend of mine, so I had to try it after he showed me a picture of the brisket sandwich. That makes me think, aren't we a weird generation, we used to show pictures of our kids, pets, vacations, or even hobbies. Now we have pictures of food in our phone, like they're part of our family. Anyways... The brisket sandwich is truly to enjoy. Together with the gorilla sauce, and the fries, a great meal. The only question I have is who built the booths cause somehow one seat has plenty of room that will fit a gorilla, and at the opposite side you got to squeeze yourself in it. Oh, and it would be cool to have water bottles as a choice for drinks, not just fountain drinks. read more

These are full size burgers full of flavor. The bacon cheeeburger features 2 patties, cheddar, Muenster and bacon. Not the greatest beef but well seasoned French fries good enough to eat without ketchup. Cannot give it a 4.5 do 5 it is. read more

Gorilla is a fast-casual environment--order at the counter and then they bring it out. Ambiance fits that description and the type of place it is. Kind of a bar/grill vibe with upbeat music playing. Food was good! Not great, but good! Three in our party and I had the tacos cochinita while a colleague had the carnitas tacos and finally the third in our party had the Gorilla burger. Everyone was satisfied and it was more than enough food. read more

I had the carnitas tacos and they where great.Food was amazing service was great I highly recommend this place to anyone

Great portions. I think you could easily get a burger fry and drink under 15. I got a gorilla burger and loaded fries with brisket. Everything came out hot and fresh and fairly quick. Highly recommend over any chain burger place. read more

Gorilla Smoke and Grill - Loaded Fry's with brisket and Gorilla Burger - Salad Near Me - Laredo, Texas

Great flavor food and amazingly customer service. A good place to take your family to eat.

I've been coming to Gorilla Smoke and Grill multiple times since my last review. Hands down, this restaurant has the best cochinita pibil tacos in town! The pork is incredibly flavorful and tender, with the perfect combination of spices. I brought some friends from out of town recently, and they were floored by the taste and texture of the tacos. The service here is outstanding and the ambiance is welcoming. Laredo needs more restaurants like Gorilla Smoke and Grill. read more

(This review is for the South Zapata HWY location) This was my first time trying Gorilla Smoke and Grill. Let me start off with the staff which were very welcoming and courteous throughout my visit this day. For the price of their menu items, I had to try their Buffalo fries appetizer and their famous brisket sandwich. The wait was probably under 15 minutes and the food came out fresh and delicious! Will definitely be coming back and let family and friends know. Great job! read more

Great service, yummy food. I had tried their tacos only at the food truck before. Their place on Delmar is nice and clean. Staff is attentive and friendly. Brisket tacos are my favorite. read more

This place is really great. I picked it because of its high rating on yelp and it did not disappoint. The food was outstanding one of the nicest sized burgers I've ever seen huge I'm a big guy and I had trouble finishing it. My daughter got the chicken sandwich, buffalo chicken sandwich, which was one of the best she ever had and she's kind of a connoisseur. The onion rings were outstanding. The only complaint I have and it's not a complaint but this what this is about on yelp as you're supposed to criticize or positively praise. The music that they played was wonderful selection, but it was so loud almost so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. I didn't feel like I should say something cause maybe other people enjoyed it but it the whole restaurant was very, very loud other than that this place is perfect. If they could turn the music down or not, it would be better read more
