    10/10 all around great restaurant. Cheap food that took 5 minutes to receive once we ordered (only two of us) and it was a Friday night. We had about a 15 minute wait as we were right around 6:30 on a Friday. The place offers complimentary chips and salsa (per usual), but also offers a special dip included. Clean, modern place to hangout for food and drinks, highly highly recommend.

    Food, Service, and Marg was excellent! I had never been here before but will go back when in the area.

    can't describe my disappointment, Plaza Azteca?? More like Plaza Blahteca. Living directly across the street, I was hugely excited that a Mexican restaurant was opening so close. I went there this afternoon. The decor is nice. The walls remind me of a high school cafeteria. The waitress brought us chips, salsa, and some sort of sour cream/ranch dip. The salsa was excellent. I'm not a fan of the other. Chips have no salt. We ordered the chicken fajitas and the Enchiladas El Jefe. After the waitress brought our food out, that was the last we saw of her. Terrible service. The chicken was super bland. I mean, absolutely no seasoning. Refried beans were terrible. The meat in the El Jefe dish was so bland and dry. I think the cook left it in the pan 10 mins too long. I was expecting a great Mexican restaurant and instead got a version of Chipotle. Someone definitely needs to tell the cooks to use seasoning. Nothing about this place will make me come back for more food. One and done for sure. The people leaving this place 5 stars have clearly never eaten authentic Mexican food.

    Very loud due to the open kitchen design. The fresh hand made guacamole at the table was expensive but truly worth it. The rest of the food was above average. I had the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas. They were good full of flavor and arrived quickly after ordering and sizzling hot. The refried bean were not good and had a different taste to it. Service was great very attentive for being so busy. Avoid the booths when making reservations. They are extremely uncomfortable and the tables are super close to the booths and I am not a big person.

    First impressions... The layout is interesting. The host station is facing 90 degrees from the entrance. I was a little concerned when we first arrived. There were 3 employees taking and joking and it took a bit for them to acknowledge us. After about a minute they welcomed us and we were seated quickly. Someone other than our server brought us chips and salsa almost immediately. The chips are somewhat thick and a little chewy rather than thin and crispy, also not over salted, which is good. The salsa is good, with a little bite. They also have a white sauce that we were excited to try, hoping it would be like the sauce at La Fiesta (throwback for long time Sioux Falls people), but it wasn't. It was good, but we decided that it was more of a Ranch dressing with some chili spices. My wife ordered California Fish Tacos for $19.00 and I got combo #7 which is a taco, burrito and an enchilada for $14.00. The menu description doesn't say what kind of meat for a #7, but the combo description at the top says "MOST COMBOS ARE MADE WITH GROUND BEEF. MOST COMBOS ARE TOPPED WITH SOUR CREAM. ALL BURRITOS AND ENCHILADAS ARE TOPPED WITH CREAMY CHIPOTLE CHEESE SAUCE." Ambiance.... As we waited for our food I thought it was difficult to have a conversation because of the background noise. Not that it is loud music playing, you have to be attentive to be able to even hear it. It's the crowd noise. The floors are a hard surface, the walls are mostly glass and painted sheetrock and the ceiling is just painted plywood. There is nothing in the architecture to absorb any noise. One other note: We were seated near the servers station. There was one server who was slamming the cabinets closed. Very loud. Food... The food came very quick also. My wife said her fish tacos were quite good. It came with a side of rice and black beans. Portions were nice, on the large side although the rice and beans were a little salty. I ate my taco first and was disappointed not only because of the taste, but the shell was soggy (fell apart) where it touched the plate. The burrito was simply hamburger wrapped in a flour totillia. The enchilada was the same, only in a corn tortilla. Both had an orange colored sauce, melted Montary Jack cheese and crema on top. The hamburger was seasoned differently, and for me, not a pleasant taste. If I return, I will order anything that isn't hamburger. All and all, pretty bland. Why 3 stars? The ambiance removes a star, can't converse with others because of the noise. The hamburger removes part of a star, no flavor. Finally, the price removes a part of a star. $42 with a tip for 3 fish tacos, a beef taco, small enchilada and burrito. WOW! And that's having water to drink. Can't imagine if we would have ordered drinks.

    Frozen margarita!! Delicious!

    Overall it's probably four stars, but the extra star is because Gili-b's is open 24/7…read more Probably everyone in Sioux Falls knows this spot as a place that's great for late night food after consuming horrifying amounts of alcohol, but did you know it's actually BETTER in the daytime? A rarity for late-night drunk food spots, Gili-b's is actually some super legit Mexican food. I've come here for lunch dozens of times when the food and kitchen is fresh, the customers are sober, and the employees aren't stressed by a bunch of drunken jerks asking for ridiculous orders and demanding their food be ready with the speed of Taco Bell. Since I'm gluten free, the street tacos are my go-to. Nothing better than meat in corn tortillas, topped off with onions and cilantro. What else do you need? Alright, their salsas and sauces are also excellent. My favorites are the chorizo, carnitas, carne asada, chicharron and lengua (unfortunately they are sometimes sold out of this one). Plus a tamarind Jarritos. Our last meal before moving from Sioux Falls was here (sober and in the daytime), and anytime I'm back in town I'm heading here IMMEDIATELY.

    Food was okay, we asked for soft taco shells they gave hard taco shells instead!! Waited 40 minutes…read morefor 7 tacos staff talking to each other right after we ordered only started making the food 20 minutes later. The tables were dirty and has oil on them.. place smells like gas.

    Hello! I had such a great experience at this establishment that I felt morally obligated to report…read moreback to the public. First off, the vibes? Immaculate. The second you walk in, it feels like you accidentally teleported to a place where happiness, chips, and salsa never end. I don't know what they're putting in that salsa, but I would confidently invest in it financially. Now let me get to the part that absolutely rocked my world. I kid you not--I started a stopwatch (for scientific purposes, obviously) the moment our server walked away after taking our order. From that exact moment... to food physically arriving at our table... was 5 minutes and 17 seconds. Five. Minutes. Seventeen. Seconds. I've waited longer for a microwave to finish a Hot Pocket. I was actually concerned. I looked around like, "Did they already know I was coming? Is this premeditated? Am I being monitored?" Because there is simply no reasonable explanation for that level of efficiency. The fajitas were still sizzling like they had just come off a volcano, so I know it wasn't just sitting back there waiting for me like a reserved parking spot. The food? Incredible. The kind of meal where you tell yourself you'll stop eating after one more bite... and then 14 bites later you're still negotiating with yourself. Overall, between the speed, the food, and the atmosphere, this place has officially earned a spot in my personal "I would come back here even if I wasn't hungry" category. Thank you for your service, your speed, and whatever time-warp technology you have going on in that kitchen.
