Now that I know the secrets of the -Bertos restaurants, I have to stop by any that I see. First up on my recent Utah/Colorado road trip: Los Jilbertos in Grand Junction. Driving up to the storefront, I knew I would be in for a treat, with the smell of charred meat wafting through the front door and a long line of cars in the drive-through line, wrapping all the way around the store. The parking lot steadily filled up between when I arrived and left the restaurant. Even with how busy they were, the food came out quickly and we were digging in soon afterwards. Adobada Taco ($4.50) - My first impression upon seeing my to go order - why is this taco in such a large takeout container? When I opened it, I quickly figured out why - the tacos Los Jilbertos serves are gigantic! The taco includes two 6-inch corn tortillas, topped with a mountain of meat, onion, cilantro, and a drizzle of green avocado sauce. The meat is fried very well to create a crispy exterior. It doesn't have the most flavorful marinade - definitely missing a bit of fruitiness or sweetness that other places tend to add to adobada marinade, but it's serviceable for the taco, being salty and savory. It's not as oily as other places might tend towards. The onion is pungent but refreshing, and the cilantro adds a nice herbal quality. The fry on the meat dries it out a bit and unfortunately the green sauce isn't added in a large enough amount to influence much. This taco practically begs for the addition of salsa for moisture, but it's overall very pleasing to eat. (4/5) Carnitas Burrito ($9) - This is fairly similar in composition to the taco, but consisting of meat, pico, and green sauce, all rolled into a single larger, pliable flour tortilla. After assembly, the burrito measures about 3 inches by 8 inches, smaller than the average burrito that I'm used to, which means they need to roll up the tortilla several layers deep, enhancing the dryness of the interior. Again, the meat is fried well, nice and crisp, with a good texture, but on the dry side, and the pico and scant amount of green sauce, doesn't contribute enough moisture. There is a ton of flavor here though. This burrito almost requires the addition of salsa, or perhaps sour cream or guac. (4/5) I love the salsa bar here - They have red salsa, which is sour, very smoky, almost overwhelmingly pungent, and isn't spicy even though it's an angry red color. There's green, which is a classic tomatillo salsa, a bit spicy, tangy, and very fresh. There's pickled onion/carrot/pepper, and finally pico. I love how they give plastic 2 oz cups with lids to pack up the salsa, and even sandwich bags to take more of the pickles and pico. Los Jilbertos is certainly a solid -Berto's restaurant. I love that they fry the meats hard, creating texture and additional flavor, but this creates a great need for additional elements to add moisture to the food. The amount of green sauce they add is enough for meat that's not fried as long, but not enough for what Los Jilbertos serves, at least in my non-expert opinion! Still, I'd definitely revisit if I'm ever in town again. Note: Los Jilbertos charges a 3.99% admin fee on all orders. Bathrooms - Two individual rooms read more

Los Jilbertos is our new favorite spot for mexican food in the state of Colorado. Coming from San Diego its actually impossible to find good mexican food in CO. All of this smothered garbage and goopy cheesy crap is a sad excuse for mexican food. Finding a quality taco, burrito, torta, dilla, or menudo is virtually impossible. Thankfully Los Jilbertos delivers on all fronts. I'd literally invest money for Los Jilbertos to open a location in the south Denver suburbs. We came to Grand Junction as a stop over on a trip to Unaweep Canyon for 4th of July. Needless to say we have since been back twice and plan on returning a third time before heading back to Denver. We are even going to buy extra burritos to bring home and freeze. I know, we have a problem. We had the beef quesadilla, carnitas burrito, adobada and carne tacos, bean and cheese burrito, and conga burrito. They even made us a bean and cheese quesadilla. All of it was god damn brilliance. From the moment we laid eyes on Los Jilbertos bright amarillo colored building to its perfect smell of frijoles and grilled carne to the gorgeous salsa bar with spicy carrots and salsa roja y salsa verde i was in heaven. Where else can you find a burrito chalk full of cabeza? There's a price for perfection and Los Jilbertos prices are unbeatable. We'll stopping by anytime we're rolling through Grand Junction. And if Los Jilbertos ever wants to open in Denver hit me up. I'll throw $$$ into that venture without a doubt. HMU Los Jilbertos! read more

Excellence in food services, Colorado is known for this, the Bertos is open 24 hours, this is where the ambiance of the food quality comes in. Thank you Bertos, Los Jilbertos! read more

We had no idea this was an iconic mexican restaurant. We just saw the long line in the drive in and thought it must be good! It was excellent. I had the carnitas tacos. it is very hefty portions. The food is flavorful and the service prompt and frienflt. I love the salsa bar with carrots and onions. read more

I'm from San Diego, and like others have said, we know our Mexican food and this place is authentic. We ordered take out and the food was ready very quickly. I had the adobada burrito, which was excellent (and big!). They had two massive bowls of red and green sauce at the salsa bar and the usual pickled carrots/jalapeños. All very tasty. The red sauce was a little watery for my liking but the heat level was perfect. For a night visiting family when we couldn't decide what to eat, this place was a nice surprise. Service was friendly and fast. Will definitely be back the next time I visit Grand Junction and crave a taste of home. read more

It's been years since I had this place , and I'm dreaming of it here from Spain. World's best cabeza . I love their burrito style , just meat onion and cilantro with quality salsa . What region are y'all from? And was the delta and Montrose location family ? read more

I went inside to order and was ignored. The restaurant was gross, and the food quality has been declining for a couple years. They used to be much better. read more

Food fantastic. Service fantastic. Place was clean but lacked a little ambiance. I got the Brisket Tacos & they were yummy. I got the same the other night at taco party they sucked & were twice as much. read more

Myself originally from Southern California and we have numerous Mexican restaurants and myself being Caucasian, I have never felt more racially discriminated than anywhere else besides this place. Evrytime I have gone to this place they say I am disrespecting them when they either short me items that I have ordered or make the items wrong and then blame me for what I don't know why they are blaming me. Their food is great but the atmosphere is completely rasist. read more

If you like refried beans you will love this place, I swear it's all I had on my entire plate was refried beans which I must say were the greatest I've ever had. Taste wasn't terrible and the price is great, but damn chill on the beans please! read more

Delicious, authentic Mexican food. Highly recommended. Breakfast burritos are giant and tasty. Very friendly staff.

I have been coming to Los J's regularly for 7 years. They have NEVER gotten my order wrong. The food is CONSISTENT and GOOD. Tacos, burritos, super fries, always a generous portion with lots of meat. Seasoned and cooked perfectly. The service is always friendly. A few years ago, I lost my wallet here and the girl that took my order recognized my matching purse and asked if it was my wallet. I was so relieved and glad that I'll always come back. read more

Good authentic Mexican food they're super fries or what they're probably known for but also their breakfast burritos are meant for two people. They're huge and delicious. read more

I've been going to Los Jilbertos for over 10 years now. My family and I are always pleased with the quality of food and the serving we get. We always have leftovers. The staff is always very friendly read more

First time in 20+ years I've been disappointed with Los jilbertos food My daughter got a ground beef enchilada combo plate. Her enchilada had tomatoes and potatoes inside. And no sauce. My enchilada had no sauce. Had tons of lettuce covering everything. Asked for jalepenos and pico. Didn't get it. But the worst part was the food was cold. It's always piping hot. I drove across town for this. Never again. read more

The food is extremely reasonably priced! The service there is always super fast and they are kind! I would recommend it to anyone specially, for a late night food run. read more

Bad odor upon entering. Menudo greasy and salty. Green chile is just a green salsa no flavor. Cashier young and snotty. Infant in kitchen.. read more

I'm giving it 5 stars because within reasonable expectations of an older, somewhat rundown 24 hour Mexican food joint, the food is really good. Came here on a recommendation from a local 10 years ago while driving through, and try to stop by every time I'm driving across the 70- it's not an easy/quick off and back on the freeway, but worth it. The breakfast burritos meet the So Cal expectation of deliciousness. This morning, they pre-split two breakfast burritos for us so we could both try bacon and sausage. Love the fresh and full salsa bar. The kitchen guys were singing, joking and laughing with each other. Glad we stopped. read more

Best Mexican food in Grand Junction!! Carne Asada, bean burritos, chicken Tacos, are all excellent!!

I had the carnitas, chicken and beef tacos. The carnitas was in a corn tortilla, chicken in a hard shell and the beef in a fluffy shell. Start with the sad part, the beef was bland. End with the good stuff, the chicken was succulent and flavorful. The carnitas had crispy parts and was fabulous. The sauces are eh, but the flavors of the chicken and carnitas make this a winner for me. read more

We were looking for someplace that was open after 10 pm on a Sunday in Grand Junction, and let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised. We went thru the drive-thru, and we were able to find delicious, authentic Mexican food, fast and for a reasonable price. The tacos, rolled tacos, and green salsa were amazing. This was an excellent choice for late night dining! They are open 24 hours, so definitely stop by if you're in the area. read more

We've been meaning to try - but there's always a huge line at the drive thru. Went today - and had time to wait. It's no wonder they're so busy. Tasty! Get the super fry burrito! It's a California burrito - and I've lived in So Cal - the burrito is legit! read more

Los Jilbertos - a burrito wrapped in a plastic bag - Mexican Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

I finally tried this place after driving by frequently and seeing how packed it is all the time. I ordered the combination taco plate and I ordered an extra taco I was expecting street style tacos that's why I ordered an extra one but the tacos were crispy and had lettuce and cheese they were stuffed! It was not the tacos I wanted but they were so delicious and the salsa is good! I quickly regretted getting the extra taco cuz it was too much food but I was not disappointed at all! I finally found a good Mexican spot after moving here from Texas last month. I definitely will be back to try more on the menu. If you haven't tried this place you are missing out! read more

I ordered breakfast burritos and was able to half them and eat them throughout the week. Their salsas have great flavor and HEAT. Both of which are hard to find on the Western Slope. I was particularly keen on the salsa verde... so good! Super delicious and the staff are so friendly and kind. Very nice way to begin the day. I will be returning to try more. read more

Last few times I've gone no green sauce ( which is why I go there) didn't tell me until after I paid . Then the quesadilla was completely burnt . Sad cause I love this place but it's gone way downhill in the last year. read more

The food here is incredible. Never had a problem with the service. They are professional and friendly. I usually get the fish tacos, they are stuffed full of crispy, delicious fish; fresh slaw, great fresh tacos. I got the super fries and they were equally abundant and tasted excellent. read more

My opinion is I don't like it . Lots of American cheese on everything To me it taste like it's been " Americanized " I'm Mexican and I don't like when places put tons of cheese all over the food I feel like they're hiding something I had the rolled tacos and the green stuff on top that was supposed to be guacamole is not real guacamole It may be just me idk I like my Mexican food as authentic as possible if I am not making it myself . read more

Very good authentic tasting Mexican food, huge sized burritos and they put plenty of meat in them, unlike many places who use rice and beans as the main filler for their burritos. The prices are great and the employees were friendly. Being open 24 hours is a plus! Their salsa is amazing! Everything we tried was delicious: the carne asada burrito, the quesadillas and the steak egg and cheese burrito was especially delicious! read more

24 hours of legitimate choices! And they Christmas anything you want. Quality and quantity and a nice group of people. read more

The breakfast burritos are the BEST!! Anytime my husband are I are in town, Los J's is an absolute must!!

Best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Full with lots of fillings. Great salsa bar to add additional ingredients

can we please stop promoting los j's as good mexican food. we found a rusty screw in our burrito here one year. i would only go here if it was 12 am and i was coming back from the club. 3 stars bc its 24 hours . but not the best but not the worst just dont be suprised if its not as sanitary and you find something you dont want in your food.! read more

So pay attention to your change. So tonight I went through the drive thru and my total at the ordering box was 39.04 so I pulled out 39.05 and gave that to her at the window. Then she gives me a handful of change so I knew something was off so I check my receipt and they do a chash discount so my actually total was 37.66 so my change should have been 1.74 so basically she gave me .74 cents and shorted me a dollar and yes I know it's only a dollar but if she is shorting every single customer who pays cash 1$ and pockets. It at the end of the night she is walking out with a pretty penny after work. I work in the service industry and I'm privy to that shit that is how people steal. So Los js fire your window attendant on 8/27 estimate time 9:45 pm because she is stealing from your customers. read more

My first time here, ordering through the driveway, was not the best experience for sure. When placing the order, I asked for "side of Fries" but instead I got a side of "Rice". I would have overlooked that (since it is easy to confuse these two items since they sound so similar) if the quality of food was great, but I personally was not impressed by the breakfast burritos; they were not bad at all but were just OK. read more

New owners? Food now tastes awful. Pork carnitas, enchiladas tastes like unknown road kill, or dog ,cat food. Will never go back even though I've been eating the food there for 8 yrs. Sister who took it over is losing my continual weekly plus business . I'm sorry they can't even compare to what I have eaten there for the last 8 years. read more
