Enmoladas
Jessica L.

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for dinner. I ordered through DoorDash and the order was ready fairly quickly. The restaurant itself was nice. The asada super burrito is huge and comes with a generous amount of meat and fillings. The carne asada tacos were also really good. The mole enchiladas weren't quite what I expected. They were pretty spicy, had a lot of sesame seeds and the chicken wasn't shredded, which threw off the texture for me. The beans were dry the rice had vegetables. I was also a little disappointed that the quesabirria taco order only came with one taco for $10 and didn't include consomme. Overall some dishes were great but a few things weren't my taste. I recommend trying for yourself as everyone is different.

Sope

We were just passing through Gilroy and got hungry, so I convinced the hubby to stop here for lunch. We were not disappointed. I had scrumptious sope!

Only tried taco Tuesdays which is $1.50 per taco but it's the small kind you get at taco trucks. Only comes with the authentic mix of meat, white onions, cilantro, lime and a side of salsa. Pastor is delicious whereas carne asada is dry and flavorless. Service is mediocre. Lots of folks dining in. Casual dining. Located in a street side small Mexican plaza with limited but private parking lot. Lots of folks venture to the next door Mexican bakery.

Complimentary Chips with Salsa verde

Happy to stop by for a nice lunch. Big menu in a big space fit my big appetite. It wasn't very busy, but it was definitely steady. The lady who was working the room had no problem juggling the tables and staying available. Not too far from the freeway, either, so easy to get to. I went with the Camarones Gilroy Plate. Opted for flour (instead of corn) tortillas. This is a hearty dish and I was glad to get it. Five or six large shrimp (shells on), buttery, and super garlicky (this IS Gilroy) piled on a plate with Spanish rice, refried beans, some lettuce and a dab of guacamole. As abundant as the plate was, I almost felt it was misleading to list guacamole so prominently on the menu as part of this dish. In reality, the guac, though good, was a very small component to the dish. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and a nice centerpiece to a big plate of goodness. The tortillas were good, too, and I would not have complained had there been a couple more. Still, this was plenty of food. And I didn't even mention the complimentary chips and salsa that arrived to my table soon after I did. I liked the chips - a solid crunch, a crispy corn flavor without being greasy. The salsa verde, too, hit the spot with its flavors and spice. Families, couples, you name it stopped in while I was there. I'm very glad to have been there, too.

Quesabirria

Was craving some tacos during the afternoon, and found this place! We tried their Quesabirria, the steak was really tender, and the stew was really flavorful! A nice place for a quick bite!

Having just got back from Mexico City and I was having taco and Mexican food withdrawal so I came here, and Mi Gusto Es Mexican Restaurant did not disappoint. We went on a Sunday afternoon when it was pretty quiet, so we were able to get our food quite quickly. I think they nailed it with the quesabirrias - the steak was soft and tender, and the broth was flavorful. Definitely would come back!

This is a nice family owned business, the interior has a wide open design with plenty of seating and tables. The walls have beautiful paintings hung up with painted "on the wall" birds that look like they are sitting on the paintings that are hung up. The lady that took our order "think she was the owner" was dressed very nice, took our order without writing anything down "I was very impressed as we ordered 6 things and added stuff to the food" I ordered the Birria "beef" super burrito "see the picture" it was humongous!! There was plenty of big pieces of beef and the rice was super moist and flavorful. IMO everything melded together perfectly.... Well except for the cold lettuce, I really don't get why some places put cold lettuce in with their burritos; you get this hot, cold weird texture kind of thing going on. " cold lettuce has no place in a burrito" that being said the burrito was a 7 out of 10 (would have been 9 out of 10 if not for the cold lettuce) I definitely recommend Mi Gusto "note to self next time order the same thing without lettuce. ;-)

Outside the place

I was looking for a place to eat that I wouldn't have to order too much. This was perfect. Our server was the owner, but I didn't get her name and she was very friendly. So I had two Carnitas tacos, you can also get them with rice and beans. My husband had a Carnitas quesadilla, and he had leftovers. I did not. Very cute place lots of artwork on the walls that I was fascinated with. If this place was closer to where we lived, I think I'd be there a lot more.

The food was ok, the service was ok, but check your receipts as they will double charge. This was on another review before me.

Lots of fun ornaments on this tree. Walked up to the counter to place our order and the lady helping us was very welcoming and friendly. We orderd a plater with carnitas and one with carne asada. They both came with fried beans, mexican rice, salad, and corn tortillas. The food was good, however, I feel the recipe has changed or the cook is someone differnt as the flavor of the carnitas is not as before in the past visits here. I remember the carnitas having a almost sticky consistancy with more seasoning. In my opinion the flavor and texture have deffinatly changed.

Also came with rice and beans and homemade tortillas! It was all good. We also got asada nachos and it was great as well. You order your food from counter and they bring it to you. I tried the location in San Jose as well but this one is better. Rice was perfect and beans was ok. Nacho was good too but could have had more cheese. The chips held up well probably because we ask for the salsa on the side so it wouldn't get soggy. Will have to come back again when we are out in Gilroy.

There's a sign that says "Wait to be seated", but no one came out to seat us and a group of people walked past us to go inside, were sat right away. A girl who sat us ended up being our server but took a very long time for her to come back out to even take our drink orders. I had to ask the guy bringing water and tortilla chips who our server was. Once our server arrived she was very nice and answered our menu questions. I ordered the the spicy Mamacita and my friend ordered the pina colada. Both drinks looked cool but mine was very sweet, not really spicy at all and was tiny for $15. I think I mostly paid for the presentation part...flower, popsicle, etc. We both ordered the 3 taco trio and the food came out before long. I had a mahi mahi, carne asada and a taco macho. Again, the food wasn't that great: rice and beans had an off flavor, octopus was chewy in the taco macho, and the mahi was a bit fishy. We took half our food to go and checked out. All in all I would not come back unless it was out of convenience due to the location. The food and drinks have a nice presentation, but the taste of everything wasn't there for me. Although our server was really nice and my friend and I were busy chatting, the service was slow.
