    Chili verde plate
    Mike W.

    Second time I've been here now. The 1st time i forgot to post. Sorry folks. Had the carne asada plate the first time and it was good. Nice char on the meat and good flavor. I would get that again. The steak mexicana was okay. The ranchero sauce was very thin, not thick like i am used to having. The asada was juicy in the ranchero sauce but I would pass on this dish, unless you like the sauce watery. Today, second time, I went with chili verde. The chili verde was good and tasty and it tasted and looked like I expected it to be. Delicious plate. Order that again! The staff has been friendly both times. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Both times I noticed when we ordered our food, it does take a noticeably long time to arrive. Not like an hour, but maybe 30 minutes. So u might end up chowing down lot of chips and salsa if you come hungry. The chips were served a little warm both times. The salsa has a good flavor to it. The salsa is kind of thin and not spicy, but i thought it was tasty. The menu is large with many choices. I look forward to coming back and trying some other items.

    Taco Salad with Chicken
    Ben C.

    The decorations to this place are really cool and different. The touches do make you feel welcome and such. The service is quiet but they sit you down and make sure you have everything you need. I wanted to try the taco salad with chicken. Simple meal. Chicken was watered down and they use very little cheese. Loads of iceberg lettuce. The taco shell was fried in some it tasty flavors. I would not recommend. Wife has the Chile verde with pork. The pork was very dry and chewy. The rice was a good flavor and airy. The food was just ok. I may try this again but not sure.

    Bland and dry chicken

    They have a wide selection of American style Mexican food. The chicken is very bland and dry. There is absolutely zero flavor to it. Rice and beans are good.

    Flan for dessert

    Fantastic Mexican food. Very clean restaurant, clean bathrooms and friendly staff. The menu was nice and simple with great options, and I chose one of my favorite burritos, the Chile Verde burrito. The pork was tender, fresh, with homemade verde salsa, the rice has great flavor and all around a great experience. It's great to find a local restaurant with quality Mexican options.

    Chicken Salad

    This was the worst Mexican food I have ever had. No flavor in the chicken whatsoever. I wanted to switch to a different dish Chicken Enchiladas, the waitress said it's the same chicken. They don't put seasonings in the chicken. WHAT?!? Ugh. Horrible. Service wasn't great either. My friend got the chicken salad, tasted like water, even with the salsa added to give it flavor. The waitress said "cheese gives it flavor" WHAT?!? So refund me my money and I'll go to Taco Bell....that's a little better than here.

    i forgot the name but it was something like super Nachos. 10/10

    Our quick fix of Mexican food as it is only two blocks from us. Love the shrimp dish they serve. They also have Negro Modelo beer.

    Loved the food here. Last time we went the hostess made insulting remarks to us. We turned around and left. Won't be back.

    Overall it's probably four stars, but the extra star is because Gili-b's is open 24/7…read more Probably everyone in Sioux Falls knows this spot as a place that's great for late night food after consuming horrifying amounts of alcohol, but did you know it's actually BETTER in the daytime? A rarity for late-night drunk food spots, Gili-b's is actually some super legit Mexican food. I've come here for lunch dozens of times when the food and kitchen is fresh, the customers are sober, and the employees aren't stressed by a bunch of drunken jerks asking for ridiculous orders and demanding their food be ready with the speed of Taco Bell. Since I'm gluten free, the street tacos are my go-to. Nothing better than meat in corn tortillas, topped off with onions and cilantro. What else do you need? Alright, their salsas and sauces are also excellent. My favorites are the chorizo, carnitas, carne asada, chicharron and lengua (unfortunately they are sometimes sold out of this one). Plus a tamarind Jarritos. Our last meal before moving from Sioux Falls was here (sober and in the daytime), and anytime I'm back in town I'm heading here IMMEDIATELY.

    Our orders are very rarely correct anymore. And if they are, they're disappointing. The steak is…read moreovercooked and chewy. The vegetable burrito contained lettuce, beans, spoonful of cheese, and pico de gallo. Not a single vegetable on it?! Ordered cheese enchiladas and got chicken. Do you not ask for pico de gallo, ranchero or enchilada sauce because all you'll get is their hot spicy salsa. My children do speak fluent Spanish so there should not be a language barrier. What once was the up-and-coming best takeout restaurant in Sioux Falls, which could be franchised, has turned into overpriced takeout. With competition being fierce amongst new authentic Mexican takeout, They need to both step up their game and get back to reasonable pricing.

    4.4* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4*…read more Service: 4* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $29 07/05/2026 We needed to make a stop at the Walmart in Sioux Falls while driving through, so looked for a restaurant nearby for dinner. We were both in the mood for Mexican, this was very close and the ratings looked good. The bar looked impressive as we walked in and after we were seated, we started with 24oz Margaritas (see picture) to accompany our free chips, salsa & white sauce (see picture). While the Margaritas were quite large, we both commented that they seemed a bit weak on the alcohol (or it is possible that they used Reposado tequila with less flavor). My wife decided to order the Combo #2 (pork tamale, ground beef enchilada & ground beef hard shell taco - see picture) while I went with the street tacos - Carnitas (pulled pork), Pollo (chicken) & Al Pastor (spit-roasted pork). We both enjoyed the Combo, with my favorite part being the pork tamale. I'm a big fan of corn tortilla street tacos and found them all to be very good - but my favorite was the Al Pastor. A quick Google search indicated that Al Pastor is a spit-roasted pork influenced by Lebanese shawarma - marinated and then cooked on a vertical rotisserie. This carmelizes the edges, resulting in a savory, tangy and slightly sweet flavor. Whatever the science...I found it delicious! If you found this review helpful, please Share, Follow & Like.
