This was near our hotel so we came and had breakfast burritos, so good! We got there probably somewhere around 11am and it wasn't too busy inside, but I could tell they were getting some call in orders. I got the bacon breakfast burrito and horchata and my husband got the ham breakfast burrito with a pina. It was sooooo good! The tortilla was tasty and super fresh. The bacon inside was very crispy which I love. The cheese and egg ratio was perfect, I loved every bite! I also had the green sauce from the bar which made it even better. They were big burritos, so we took the other half to go. Service was very nice and if we lived in town, this would definitely be a regular place for us! The price is also very reasonable for what we got. Loved it! read more

I ordered a Cali burrito with sour cream at extra cost and pappas extra crispy and you get no sour cream which they charged me for and under cooked pappas and they forgot the cheese for 18.00 dollars And I even asked kindly to make sure they did my order right and still screwed up. Was I asking too much? Won't be coming back again I work to hard for my money. read more

(3/5) This was my first time visiting after a friend recommended this place and told me the food was really good. Unfortunately, my first impression was not a positive one because of the customer service. From the moment I walked in, the manager/cashier seemed annoyed and had a very unfriendly attitude. While placing my order, I asked if the carne asada nachos came in a half order, and her response felt rude and dismissive. I understand it was later in the evening, but I made sure to come while there was still plenty of time before closing. I also ordered two large drinks but was given small ones instead. I didn't want to argue about it, so I let it go. The drinks were filled all the way to the top, and when I asked for lids, she simply pointed to where they were. As I was putting the lids on myself, some of the drink spilled, and she immediately came over to clean it up, but again with a negative attitude. When my food was ready, there was no "thank you" or any kind of friendly interaction. The order was simply placed on the counter and slid toward me without a word. The only acknowledgment I received was eye contact. The food itself was good, and that's the reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of less. However, customer service is just as important as the food. Since this was my first visit, I left with a disappointing impression. I hope management takes customer service seriously because a friendly and welcoming attitude can make a big difference in a customer's experience. read more

Been coming here off & on and have enjoyed the food until this last visit. Hubby ordered the menudo & he said it had no flavor other than very salty. I had the carne asada torta & unfortunately I was disappointed. For the torta to be edible it would need the meat in strips or a slice of carne, but the meat is cut up in small pieces & they fall out of the sandwich. I feel they use the meat for the tacos & it really Doesn't work. Our biggest concern Though was... all the salsa cups fell on the floor & the counter worker came around to pick them Up & put them right back on the stack for customers to use!!! That is very unclean & not healthy!! We were disgusted to see that. The only positive this visit were the agua frescas! Beware.... This restaurant does not follow cleanliness guidelines!! read more

We visited for the first time today and purchased 3 taco plates with different meats. All the meats were all very good! All tacos topped with a guacamole sauce, cilantro and onions. The rice and beans were very good as well. They have a salsa bar (was clean and topped off) that has a few different types of salsa all of them were very tasty. We also ordered a small cup of enchilada sauce to taste and it is very good as well. The restaurant was clean, had plenty of seating, great atmosphere with cute signage on walls. Staff were welcoming and friendly. We visited at lunch time and they were pretty busy. Our food was ready quickly and delicious. We will be back! read more

Authentic Mexican food! I love getting their chicken tacos, taquitos, or California burrito. The service is always attentive and while it can take some time to get your order, it's worth it! I love the Loteria decor, it's very cool. read more

This review focuses on the bacon breakfast burrito. Starting with the positives: value is there, good size, good flavor, decent price (before tax right below $10, which is pretty standard in the area). Salsa bar has the three staples, tortilla was fresh, didn't fall apart and not chewy or doughy. Flavors of the ingredients were good, all blended together evenly, no one bite was overpoweringly just one thing. The cheese was evenly laced throughout and left no disappointing bites. On the down side, there was no crisp or browning on the potatoes, so when mixed with the eggs everything just kind of blended together. The only texture were the crispy bits of bacon. No chunks of scrambled eggs or texture to a seared edge of a potato chunk. Not a bad breakfast burrito at all, not great (get some color on the potatoes!), but easily a solid go to if you're in the area. As for the shop, clean, friendly staff and quick service (at 9am) read more

This is a highly disappointing taco shop, i love little places like this but there is a seven dollar upcharge for fish because its "a seprate button in their system" which is a ridiculous answer. The girl upfront was not really on top of it either, but there was also a 2 dollar charge for sour cream or guac each, and a quesadilla conveniently didn't have either of those things included, they used cheap cheese for everything but charge like it's not the toilet in the bathroom was broken and they did not go fix it the first time they said they would, and it was not even busy in the slightest. Im usually not one to get this upset but i had an atrocious experience. Not to mention no one in the kitchen was wearing gloves. read more

I ordered 6 Chile's Rellenos, I paid $38.00 dls. These are the worst Chile's rellenos I ever tasted, once home I opened them up, the looks were terrible, but the taste was worst. Never, Never going back to this place. Don't go there, you'll be sorry. read more

Quality of food has gone down. When I order menudo it was over cooked and very salty. It usually taste very spicy and delicious, but this last time it tasted overly salted and like it was overcooked as the chili broth was bitter. I don't know if they changed cooks or the supplier, but it just lost it quality. read more

The food is so amazing and delicious and the service is fast and I have been coming here since I was 7 and I'm in highschool now I would recommend coming here it's nice it has good food good service good horchata and everything read more

3.5 star rating. Our first time here on taco Tuesday when tacos are $1.99 each. I ordered two. $4 right? She asked if I wanted rice n beans so I said ok to try them. I was charged $15 for my order. $11 for rice 'n beans?!! They weren't that great either. The hard shell tacos were extremely hard. I couldn't pry them open for hot sauce without breaking them in pieces. I finally broke them open and ate the filling with a fork. One positive here: they do give you plenty of meat. My companion ordered the soft tacos which were way better. read more

Not consistent. Only thing consistent is their salsa. Recently got a carne asada burrito and the meat was extremely dry with very hard pieces. It wasn't even edible because it was bad. I couldn't eat it so I threw it away. Prior to that I got a sausage burrito and it was overly stuffed with potatoes and hardly any sausage or cheese making it extremely dry. The portion mixture was definitely way off. read more

I mis-ordered and ended up with a chile verde burrito. It is a burrito with chunks of pork in green chile, and came with rice and beans, and it was really good and a little bit spicy. We also got a bean, rice and cheese burrito, and a Conga burrito, which is carne asada with rice and beans. The burritos are huge. You can eat half for lunch and the rest for dinner. Or just eat the whole thing for lunch, like me, because you're hungry and haven't eaten anything all day. This is a small Mexican restaurant in a strip mall, but they make great Mexican food and huge burritos, so they're doing their job. Don't forget to get a couple of containers of salsa from the self-serve salsa bar. read more

This place is my go-to when I'm in town because they consistently serve comfort food at a comfortable price. Also, I do enjoy their salsa bar, which includes free hot carrots. Carne Asada Chips ($14.99): a huge portion for sharing. The shredded cheese and cotija cheese are lacking, but this was still tasty. There were plenty of tender beef and crispy hot chips, 8/10 rating. Five Rolled Tacos ($9.25): this cost about $2-$3 more than San Diego, and the amount of cotija cheese is minimal; however, this was still good overall. Its shell is crispy, is filled with a good amount of beef, and is covered with creamy guacamole and melted cheese. 7.5/10 rating. The service here has always been friendly and efficient. We place our order by phone for pick-up because it does get busy at times here on the weekends. There is no drive-thru, but there is plenty of parking, and they do have a good amount of tables for dine-in. read more

Would not recommend this place, you want real mexican food near this nasty place i will recommend cardinas market. My husband ordered menudo and it was nasty as hell, fake tasted soggy, either it was overcooked or from the can. My tacos were also disgusting, the tortillas were very cold, never again. Not to mention the lady taking the order was not friendly at all. Very white washed Mexican restaurant to say the least. read more

This two star rating is for a crazy overpriced can of soda. I'm giving two stars instead of one because the person at the counter was nice. I didn't try the food. It was $3.50 for a can of diet Dr Pepper. And there was a $.45 charge for using my credit card ...which might've been posted somewhere I didn't notice, but it was not communicated to me verbally. I was super thirsty and had my kid so I just paid it, but the more I thought about it the more I got annoyed at how expensive I can was. read more

Always consistent and even though their prices has gone up throughout the years .. their portion is still pretty good unless other places. We never had a bad experience at any los Jilbertos. Highly recommend their carne asada fries and their al pastor burrito, so good. read more

This place is always packed, the inside decor was a little confusing for me. I've had the rolled tacos there, and I must say they were not good at all I was so disappointed!! Very dry and the meat wasn't seasoned, but on the other hand they have the best carne asada fries. read more

Surf and turf burrito was excellent! Not a lot of seating but I had ordered to go. Food was delicious and staff was very friendly. Cute little taco spot! read more

We use to give this place 5 stars. We've supported this local taco shop over the last 15 years and we use to love it BUT now the quality of food is terrible and the prices are outrageous! I don't mind paying for something that's good but the guacamole is not fresh it's runny no meat in the rolled tacos. I'm not sure what happened I thought it was just a bad day but we went again and it was just as bad. I can make better Mexican food than that! read more

staff was super nice and accommodating. Salsa bar was the best by far absolutely amazing.

Taquitos no meat overcooked nothing but tortillas and guacamole for 20 bucks. I used to like this place but not anymore. I'm done.

First off the delivery person did not handle my order with care. My beans and rice were on top of one another as if the container was tipped to the side. It was delivered to my door without a text that my order had been delivered. No knock, bell or text. My enchilada was at least 50% green pepper instead of meat. The sauce tasted as if it was canned. Not ever ordering from here especially since the food costed me $25 to be delivered. $10 in fees, tip, service charge and benefit charges for the delivery person. read more

We eat here often, it's always so fresh and tastes good. The service is kind and gets our order taken quick.

Ordered a bean and cheese + carne asada burrito and there's a ton of lettuce in it. Absolutely disgusting, I won't be back.

The epitome of great Mexican food! Courteous service and reasonable prices! Los Jilbertos is the perfect Mexican restaurant to add in the rotation! Try the carnitas fries! read more

We stopped by here for lunch, and ordered 5 rolled tacos and an al pastor burrito. The small restaurant was pretty clean, and we were able to find seats easily. Many people were coming for to-go orders. The rolled tacos were good, freshly made with decent flavor, although I wish there was a little more guacamole. The al pastor burrito was the perfect amount of spice and saltiness, but wasn't wrapped very tightly. The salsas here were lackluster and flavorless.. Tasted like they were canned. Fortunately, the al pastor could stand on its own, flavorwise. read more

Hands down the best taco shop around! I've been visiting Los Jilbertos since I discovered the Riverside location near UCR more than 20 years ago! I'm excited they will open a location in Menifee real soon... less than 5 miles from me yet again! I usually get the #8 combo plate (2 tacos with rice and beans). My girls get plain, well done (crispy) Carne Asada street tacos. We like the horchata; it's yummy! Overall, the menu is SOOO DELICIOUS! read more
