Jilbertos Mexican Food

I first stumbled across Tacos La Pasadita in the summer of 2021 while traveling with my sons. We…read morewere passing through the unfamiliar little town of Green River on our way to Arches National Park, looking for a meal, and decided to give this place a shot. It turned out to be one of those pleasant surprises you find on a road trip. Fast forward five years. I'm pulling into Green River again, this time on a trip with my dad and brother, when I spotted La Pasadita and immediately recognized it. I had completely forgotten about this hidden gem in this sleepy little town, but the second I saw it, I knew where we were eating. I'm happy to say the food was every bit as good--if not better--than I remembered. My dad and brother both went with burritos, and I had the chicken enchiladas. Everything was fantastic. And don't skip the Jamaica ! Absolutely delicious. One word of advice: don't let appearances throw you off. A food truck sitting in the parking lot of what looks like an old Shell gas station might make you second-guess your choice. Don't. Pull in, order some food, and enjoy it. Places like this are exactly why you shouldn't judge a restaurant by the building. Five stars without hesitation. If Yelp let me give La Pasadita more, I would. And apparently, if I find myself back in Green River another five years from now, I already know where I'm eating.

I tried the al pastor burrito at Tacos La Pasadita. Overall, it wasn't bad, but I'd give it about a…read more6/10. The burrito itself was filling and the al pastor was decent, but the sauces inside the building were pretty mild and lacked the flavor and punch I was hoping for. Coming from California and being used to Mexican food there as well as in Mexico, my expectations are probably a little higher when it comes to seasoning, salsa, and overall flavor. Still, it was a solid meal and I'd be open to trying some of their other items next time.

She did come out with dripping wet hands but did she use soap? The menus is simple. We ordered the chicken taquitos and a burrito. My server seemed new and wasn't sure about things. He kept asking for help. I was asked to wait quite a few times. It wasn't bad, just seemed like the blind leading the blind. The prices posted on the menu weren't exactly accurate. I was charged more than it showed. Not much, but it was inaccurate. The drink machine was sticky. Every time I pushed the lever I had to stop early or my cup would over flow because it was sticky and kept pouring. It needs a good cleaning. The food was surprisingly good. The chili verde meat was tender and the taquitos were crisp and flavorful. The spice was perfect. Overall, It was ok. I would just like to see a few things better stocked and cleaned.

Before packing up and heading south we stopped by for some breakfast tacos. They were super friendly and helpful, they were able to give my wife her taco in a bowl. While it says breakfast taco it's more of a delicious quesadilla. You can choose from sausage or chorizo. I chose the chorizo taco and my wife had a sausage taco. The tacos were freshly cooked and came out in a few minutes. While we waited they even gave the kids some mini chocolate muffins. I have to say this was one of the best breakfast tacos I've ever had. It was a nice mix of chorizo, egg, hash browns and cheese. I think there was some green salsa in there too. I normally don't go out of my way to add a business but it was so good I had to share the wealth! If you're in town on a Friday it's a must stop, any other day give the Castle Gate RV park a call to see if they know where they are.

The building itself is a highlight, a charming old historic structure with genuine ambiance that a lot of restaurants would kill for. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive, and the bathrooms were clean. On the hospitality side, no complaints. The food is where things fall apart. They bill themselves as a pub, but the beer selection is canned only, which is a stretch of the concept. The menu leans entirely on frozen, fried fare cooked in oil that has seen better days. It's the kind of food that makes you appreciate what pub food is supposed to be. If you're passing through and need a meal, it works. Go in with modest expectations, enjoy the building, and appreciate the service. Just don't go in hungry for anything memorable.
