Jilberto's Taco Shop - El Jefe rolled tacos - Mexican Near Me - Pauma Valley, California

Super quick service and excellent flavors. We got the breakfast burrito burritos and the Carne Asada tacos. Would absolutely go there again.

This place serves cold carnitas and is almost out of menudo on sundays , the cooks lack the importance of serving good food .

Amazing food and lots of it! Satisfied a picky 10 year old that only likes carnitas and horchata, as well as his dad. Tacos were loaded and fresh. And I think they made the chips to order. Awesome. read more

Holy....... This review is for one burrito and one burrito alone.... Surf and Turf- packed with plumb shrimp and steak.... The shrimp cooked perfectly with that snap and the steak that has that beefy flavor. It also come with onions and bell peppers, lettuce cheese and sour cream. It's probably the best burrito I have had in a years. No fluff, no fillers, just pure goodness. When I got to the bottom of the burrito, it was filled with the juices from above for the perfect ending. Get it, you won't regret it. read more

Food was fresh & good with plenty on the plate, Sevice was fast, counter type of restaurant with lots of indoor & outdoor seating, great Salsa bar for self service, not cheap but fairly priced and enough on the plate for two. read more

Drive long distance for their delicious menudo. Just don't like the pigs hooves .... Maybe more of the other meat. read more

They close at 10, came in at 9:30 needing food before work and was turned away so no food for me tonight. Whats the point of saying you close at 10 and then turning away buisness at 9:30?? Its not like I came in in the last 5-10mins! Will never bring my buisness here again and you shouldn't either! read more

Don't let the looks deceive you. Come on in and enjoy a meal you can share.... very generous Servings. Food authentic and corn tortillas take it over the top. You order at counter and server brings food to you. Hole in the wall place across from Pauma Casino entrance but worth the stop for good mexican food (breakfast/lunch/dinner) read more

The fish tacos were absolutely disgusting. The taste was off, the texture was slimy, and they smelled bad. I couldn't eat more than a bite before feeling sick, so I had to throw them away read more

The family stopped for lunch here while on the way to a local hike. The lady at the cash register was very polite and helpful as it was our 1st time here. The service was prompt. The quality of the food was excellent! I had the Cali Burrito, the kids had a steak quesadilla that was excellent and could have fed a small army for $12. The wife had chicken tacos on corn tortillas and she had more food than she could eat as well. We purchased extra flour tortillas for the leftovers that we will have for dinner tonight. What a great surprise this place turned out to be! Highly recommend read more

I love this place. The food is good. The surface is great and it's in a location that is off the beaten path. Service is good. Ambience typical taco shop. Great spot. read more

In the heart of nowhere, this gem sits. Was visiting a friend, who admittedly always has the best food recommendations, and has yet to disappoint. From here house we had two taco stands to choose from, in opposite directions. I let her choose. She chose right. We got 12 beef rolled tacos, a chicken quesadilla, beans and rice and one of each of the big drinks. Everything was amazing. I think the quesadilla was the best, but not one thing was sub-par. The staff was wonderful, the prices reasonable. Salsa bar for what you want. Seating inside and out BUT! Flies are a plenty outside. We moved inside before we even got our food due to the swarms(nothing they can do about it, and aren't at fault, but worth noting). I will for sure be stopping by again! read more

Nice little Mexican restaurant on the side of the road. Very friendly workers and the food was great.

Very convenient location on the way to the casinos, wineries, and farms. Good fresh and full loaded. Tacos full of meat. Toppings hurry the food. Not too greasy. Nice cool dining room to get out of the heat or patio dining in the shade. Great fast service. It's an easy, simple, affordable pit stop. read more

More people should try a casino for the first time and lick their wounds with a couple of mini al pastor tacos and an agua fresca.

This place is really good... After a night at Harrahs it was time for some comfort food. To YELP I went. I saw the reviews here were consistently good and had to try it. Parking was easy and abundant outside the location. Once inside I was immediately greeted. There are menus posted on the walls with pics which are easy to read. The prices all appeared fair. I placed an order at the counter for the chilaquiles and the chile relleno. Both arrived hot and were presented well on the plate. Ok maybe a little to much shredded cheese but hey just don't eat it all. Both plates were delightful and hearty. I truly enjoyed the flavors of the main dishes. The rice was fluffy as expected. Unfortunately the beans seemed to be the refried canned type. They were adequate but not outstanding. Coffee refills were self serve and definitely satisfying. I look forward to returning and trying more of the menu options in the future. . read more

Gerardo's is a landmark in a staple to our community. You're in VALLEY Center and very tasty authentic and delicious.

Hours online said open until 12am on Tuesday drove an hour to get there, showed up at 11:20 pm and they were closed. Not a lot of late food choices in the area so had to then drive all the way to Temecula so sad! read more

We had Burritos breakfast and chicken and carne asada they are big and tasty I had egg cheese and refried beans the downside is that they charge a $2.50 surcharge fee for the eggs the sign is way up on the wall fyi it's located about 2-3 miles before the casino Harrahs Southern California on the same road they have a chili station salsas carrots things like that read more

Love this place and the convenience. Exactly what you would expect from any taco shop. Great employees great food. Lucky to not have to drive far for tacos read more

Was in the area and decided to stop for tacos. Although a bit pricey ($2.99 each) for street tacos, they were not stingy with the filling! Ordered 10 chicken and 10 carne asada, large rice/beans and all the toppings on the side (onion, cilantro, guac), also ordered cheese quesadillas. Everything was super tasty and like I said, lots of meat on the tacos! The only disappointment was they gave me lemons instead of limes, and I actually asked twice if they packed me limes. They have a salsa bar with several different salsas, everything looks fresh. Don't pass up this place! Stop and grab some tacos the next time you are in the area! read more

Not bad. Nothing great. If your hungry and want decent Mexican food this is just ok. It's hot and filling but then so is all Mexican food. read more

Do you want a lot of good food for a great price? Look no further. It will remind you of eating at your favorite aunt or grandma. Good authentic homemade Mexican food. We were on our way home from Ocotillo, were starving and stopped for lunch. 5 adults and 3 kids. 3 adults and one kid could not finish their meals cause the servings are so large. read more

We stopped in on Saturday after a nice nearby hike and completely stuffed our faces with delicious burritos. Dad got a breakfast burrito of some sort and didn't expect it to be so large (he's from Maryland), my husband got a Cali burrito, and I got a Shrimp burrito. Everything was so good! I was expecting the shrimp burrito to be more of rice, beans, whitish-pink sauce, but it was actually more diablo style with red sauce and fajita veggies. Very messy and very tasty. Everyone devoured their full burrito with no complaints whatsoever. read more

Favorite GO - TO when I have a craving for authentic Mexican food that's consistently fresh and delicious ! Everyone is always friendly, welcoming and smiling. The location is Pauma Valley, Valley Center (closest to Pauma Casino) read more

Why do places say "open til 11" and then you get there at 9:45 and they say "we're closed"? Here's the thing, we were driving by and the open Sign was on, it said "open". If it didn't, we would have kept driving. So we pull into the parking lot, park our car, and As soon as we approached the door, the girl turns off the sign and says "we're closed" lol. I had their food a month ago and it made my stomach upset. I figured I'd give it another chance, but any business that puts in 0 effort into staying open when it says it's open probably puts the same amount of effort into making sure it's food is fresh so I wouldn't be surprised if my stomach was upset cause the beef was a month old. read more

This place is your perfect to go food joint! Great pricing and great quality. We got some tacos and burritos and they were fire! Would definitely come back. read more

Off the beaten path in North San Diego County, between Pala Casino and Harrahs Resort. If you want real authentic Mexican food, this is the place. Huevos Rancheros for breakfast is a must. For lunch, I tried the El Jefe rolled tacos. Might be one of the best Mexican meals I have ever eaten. Enough to feed 2. The tacos are also outstanding, and they make their own salsas, all outstanding. This place is the real deal. Can't wait to go back. read more

Win or lose a burrito makes you feel like a champ. Jilberto's used to be located in the middle of Valley Center and Pala. Literally down the street from Pauma. Service was good and so was the food but the people that hung around looked sketchy to me... I always felt like I was on an episode of 60 Days in or Sons of Anarchy lol. My and my friends would order and eat quickly to get back home. Safely and in one piece. Sometimes you feel like you need to eat something that isn't comped. When you don't want crab legs and prime rib, a burrrito always did the job. This location is closed now and has moved up to the round about. Thanks for the memories. read more

Out of towner here....I got the chicken rolled tacos with carne asada on top...FIRE. $10 and so much food

Staying at the Pala RV park and came here for lunch. Rolled tacos Crispy tacos Carne burrito Bean and cheese burrito Rice and beans All 5 star. The young gal taking orders was great. Don't worry that A-hole that complained to the manager about you was flat out wrong. I know he was wrong cause I watched the interaction. Keep up the good work. That place is lucky to have you. read more
