    Carnitas Burrito
    Albert T.

    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

    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.

    1/2 sausage, potato, egg & cheese burrito

    See all

    Went in for tacos al pastor and menudo as advertised on their online menu. They had neither. Waste of a drive, won't be back.

    Not many places in GJ are open 24 hours and this place is great - huge breakfast burritos for six bucks are the best in town.

    If you like raw potatoes, water for salsa, and the rudest drive through people this is the place for you. Over priced for nasty ass food.

    Good food, love the super fries and their tacos. Convenient, open 24 hours. I sometimes get sick when I eat here though, so only 4 stars.
