It's Friday, free to enjoy the weekend, and Carnitas Nachos from Jilberto's was a must! Preparing for my next trip, and Nachos are not an option in the Far East. Jilberto's is the best in the Temecula valley having given numerous other restaurants a chance to win my praise, but they all fall short when it comes to the chips or the taste and/or quality of the Carnitas. Nachos chips must have snap and crunch, and paper thin chips are depressing! Jilberto's is serious about delivering great food, and their food is delicious Friendly staff and quality service. Dine in vibe is chill. read more

The first time I ordered from here it was awesome. I thought I had found the best Mexican place in town. It's been down hill since. Today my order was not only cold but wrong. I ordered beef enchiladas and received chicken enchiladas. I know mistakes happen but last time I ordered I asked for no rice in my burrito and there was rice. While I was in today picking up my order the guys behind were eating fried rice off of the food pickup. Not very sanitary. They were all preoccupied with eating so no wonder my food was wrong and cold. Probably won't go back. read more

First time here, the food was decent, it was kinda oily and on the small side. We ordered the surf and turf burrito and Cali supreme burrito. The surf and turf was pretty small compared to the Cali supreme. There wasn't much shrimp unfortunately, it was mostly filled with lettuce. They had a good salsa bar, nothing super spicy, more mild salsa's and pickled carrots. The service was fine for how busy they were. read more

Great food and great service! We ordered party food from Jilberto's Taco Shop, and everything was ready right on time. The food was delicious, fresh, and consistent with the same great quality and taste we've had before. The order was complete, and one of the guys even helped me load everything into my truck, which I really appreciated. Only one sauce was mixed up, but that was a very small issue. Overall, highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back! read more

Still support my favorite taqueria as much as possible even though prices have gone up, it's all restaurants not just them. Had to get my carne asada burrito, 5 rolled tacos and chile verde! My wife loves their chile verde plate and thinks it's the best in Riverside. Support local businesses and even the ones owned locally. read more

Staying in the area and looked up carne asada fries. I went to school in SD and practically lived off of carne asada fries. Anyway, I went to big trusty Yelp and this popped up. Parking was difficult for a Friday evening as it's shared with a bunch of other establishments. Extensive menu, but I knew what I wanted. Carne asada fries with everything on it and 3 rolled tacos, to-go. I got my sauce cups and went to town to try them all. This is exactly what I was craving. Having moved to Texas and now in the Bay Area, the flavors of carne asada fries and rolled tacos just hits different when in SD (or SD adjacent in this case haha). I'm sure locals have their favorite, go-to spots. For me, this hit the spot. read more

I love this taco shop. I've been coming here for years. The food is always good and consistent and so is the customer service. They are always friendly. I like to call my order in unless I'm eating there because it gets busy. It's right across from the promenade mall so it has a good location with plenty of parking. It's always clean and they also have a michocana located in there as well in case you want dessert afterwards. read more

The chilaqiles burrito was the best highly recommended!!! I ordered it online the delivery was very prompt

I only dropped by here at 9:30 am because the rest of the shopping center doesn't open until 10 am, and Jilberto opens 8 am. I needed to kill time for Goodwill to open. And today is Taco Tues and all $3.50 street tacos are $1.99. I picked cabeza meat, but the s was very bland and flavorless. Boring! At the salsa bar, the ladle handles are way too long in that you cannot lift filled ladle out onto your taco because the spit glass is so low the ladle handle hits it first. When you lower the handle to get it outta the spit awning, the sauce dumps and they have to clean it up. When I tried to show the employee Frankie how the ladle hits the glass, then when I lower the handle and the sauce dumps, he was not interested. I told him he should tell his boss. He said the boss can't do anything about it. I said yes he can he can get shorter ladle handles. Frankie was not paying attention to what I was saying. His eyes were on the soccer game on the screen and he didn't answer. So another 1 star ding. Another reason for 1 star is because for $1.99 taco Tuesday price, you only get a 3" street taco, but at Rubio's, you get a full size fish taco for $2.25...used to be $1.99 beginning of the year. I told the employee that the cabaza was really flavorless and boring. Did he think any of the other meats have more flavor? He said maybe the El Pastor. So I ordered another Mini Al Pastor taco. It was just as boring as the cabeza. The marinated carrots were tasty but doesn't weigh enough to move the one star to two stars. read more

San Diego Mexican food sets the bar up high for other cities like Temecula. It took us about 3-4 restaurants in the past 3 years to get something decent. This place works. The have cabeza tacos (which is a plus for me). The service is good and they have a salsa bar so you can stack your own salsa to go. read more

Jilberto’s Taco Shop - California Supreme Burrito, quesabirria tacos - Tacos Near Me - Temecula, California

The chilaquiles burrito is the best burrito that I have had (so far) in the whole of the Temecula Valley. This thing is HUGE, and comes loaded with spicy-saucy-cheesy goodness. Don't worry, you still get a gooey fried egg inside, plus some grilled veggies and carnitas. This sucker is spicy, but honestly, you're in California and should be able to handle some heat, so thats honestly not my problem. Shoutout to everyone who works here and provides excellent service! read more

Food is phenomenal, service was polite, and the restaurant is spotless. Highly recommend!!!

Yummmmmmmmmmm yummy, however they shouldn't water down their salsas. Just saying. Shredded beef tacos were very good. The rice and beans were amazing. I have nothing negative to say I will be back. read more

First time there and got a carne asada burrito. It was just ok because the meat was like the bottom of the bag of chips when it's just crumbs. The carne asada was exactly that, very tiny pieces of meat. The salsa was just ok. I'll have to try it again to see if it's the same. read more

While passing by the City of Temecula, we found a gem! The reviews don't do justice. Sure, it really is hard to please everyone. I can tell you though, this place didn't disappoint us. From entering and being helped by the friendliest and most helpful lady take our order, to the one of the best steak burritos we've ever tried, this place is definitely a keeper for next time. There really is truth to the saying never judge a book by its cover. They may need some updating with the lighting and furnitures but needless to say the quality food and service was more important. Note: all the condiments are right behind you except for the napkins. See you again next time! read more

The worst carne asada burrito I have had in my search for the best in the area. My burrito was awful. The meat tasted weird, The guac was watery and the tortilla fell apart. I couldn't finish it. I have been to nearly every taco shop in Murrieta and Temecula to find the best CAB and this was definitely not it. read more

I've eaten Mexican food from San Diego all the way to Oxnard and I'm telling you this is hands down the freshest, best tasting, excellent sauces excellent ratios in burritos and more that I've had.

If you're looking for good Mexican fast food, this is the spot! We did take out. I wish I had more pics but my family swallowed their food! we ordered the steak quesadilla, steak burrito and surf and turf plate, and they were all very flavorful! The service was very friendly. The place is also very clean. Don't let the slow pace fool you, you just have to try it! I read other reviews and couldn't agree more! This is a hidden gem! We will be coming back. They also have a great selection at the salsa bar to take home. The chipotle one was my favorite! read more

The carne asada nachos are AMAZING! Lots of toppings...the order is easily big enough for 4 people to share!!!

Terrible customer service and somehow even WORSE food. I ordered an asada burrito for takeout, and after paying, the lady at the register very rudely said, "No tip?" I replied with a solid "No." since she looked incredibly grumpy from the moment I walked in. Now, just to be clear, I am not against tipping on takeout orders, but the lady at the register (who didn't even greet me) looked like she would rather be anywhere else but working here--and she definitely didn't deserve it. But look, I can overlook terrible customer service if the food is GOOD. But sadly, the foreshadowing was written all over the lady's face the moment I walked in, and the burrito was easily the worst burrito I have EVER had! Not just in Temecula, but from anywhere! Which is saying a lot since I try a burrito in almost every city I visit lol. So believe me when I say this--the burrito ranks at the very bottom of my LONG list! It's borderline criminal to even sell it as food. First off, the tortilla smelled like soap, but I toughed it out and looked past it (I'm not proud of it--I was very hungry). I took a couple of bites and instantly knew what I was dealing with ... an ABSOLUTE DUMP of a burrito The burrito quickly went into the trash. Stay far away from this place. And if anyone tries to tell you this place is good, just know that their tastebuds haven't fully developed. read more

Solid fast food Mexican joint that's in the promenade mall area. I tried the carne asada burrito combo. Con: Terrible rice. Ask for double beans and skip the rice. Pro: Very meaty burrito that will fill most consumer. Refried beans were very good. I would have given 5 stars if the rice was good. It just tasted really stale & did not smell good. Dousing with hot salsa didn't even help. read more

today I got the Carne asada chips. I came to this taco shop because it had a lot of good reviews, but I'm very very disappointed. Let's start with the chips in the meat super greasy. I never seen a chip so greasy in my life, the meat greasy no flavor at all even the hot carrots are not good. They're still like super hard and no flavor it's so much grease. I can taste the grease in every bite. I can't even eat the food such a waste. read more

Oh, Jilberto's. We visited this small Mexican restaurant for a late night snack after leaving a nearby brewery. Conveniently located across the street from Wild Barrel Brewing, Jilberto's Taco Shop is serving up all your favorite eats - tacos, burritos, churros, quesadillas. This spot is great for a quick fix, but the food was relatively simple. As a group we ordered the Taquito platter to share, which was served with twelve taquitos, doused in creamy guacamole. For an entree I ordered the carnitas tortas! Thick bread with carnitas, lettuce, guac, and pico. Very yummy, and definitely shareable! Unfortunately, another downfall to this restaurant was its service and cleanliness. I was bummed to see that none of the tables were wiped down, and the bathroom was unstocked. Definitely a great spot to grab a bite to eat after a few beers! read more
