    The steak fajitas are superb and moderately priced. Fast friendly service. Limited street parking along with about side building spots. Unknown on wifi. I have and will return.

    Enchilada dinner

    Our first visit and we were impressed! Fresh and warm chips, and salsa as soon as we sat down! We ordered extra and the leftovers were so good the next day! We tried the chimichangas, enchiladas, taco, and quesabirria (my fav!). We have to go back just to try the things we didn't get this time!

    Birria Taco's

    Incredible Birria Taco's; Fresh Chips; very authentic and flavorful, reminded me of taco's I had in the rio grande valley in Texas; Very friendly and courteous staff

    Chicken tostadas, zacapapas, rice, and tacos

    I've been coming here for the past couple years, by far the most authentic place to go to here in Baycity. The service is amazing, very friendly staff, and the food is reasonably priced. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mexican cuisine in the Bay Area.

    Finally. Excellent Authentic Mexican food. Being Mexican myself, I moved to the Great Lakes Bay Area a year ago from the west coast and could not find anything authentic or really good around here. This place just opened up and is a hidden gem. I had the tacos and steak fries with fresh pineapple juice! Can't wait to try everything else! Literally the best Mexican restaurant in the area! Oh and free chips and salsa too ;)

    Tacos Al pastor w/ pineapple, shredded chicken, and birria

    Driving back to Detroit from northern Michigan, I decided I wanted something for dinner other than the typical I-75 exit options. I hopped on yelp and found ZacaTacos in Bay City, just a few minutes off the freeway. Best decision ever! Excellent taqueria (with tons more on the menu). I opted for tacos al pastor with pineapple, shredded chicken, and birria, all with corn soft shells. Free chips and salsa came with the meal. The birria taco was my favorite, but all were great. The meat tasted fresh, great portion sizes, fresh veggies, too, and mild salsa. I will definitely come back.

    Three taco dinner plates (2) and half order of supreme chicken nachos.

    As someone from San Diego, I'll admit I came in skeptical. Great Mexican food is everywhere back…read morehome, so my standards are pretty high. While visiting Michigan, I stopped into Gilley's and ordered a custom breakfast plate because I'm on a special diet. It was so good that I came back twice. I've jokingly started calling it the "El San Diego" breakfast plate. The pork was flavorful, the food was fresh, and everything was cooked perfectly. What really stood out was the service. On my return visit, the owner remembered my order and personally whipped up the same El San Diego breakfast plate for me again. It was just as incredible the second time. Friendly staff, great food, great ambiance, and genuine 5 star hospitality. As a Southern California Mexican food snob, I can honestly say Gilley's exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back a third time before I leave.

After a quick Yelp search, we found Gilly's and are glad we did! The restaurant is tucked away in an old business district...many of the neighboring businesses are closed. It has a parking area in the back but we just parked on the street out front. The staff was very friendly when we ordered at the counter. I ordered a wet burrito. (For those not from around here-it's basically a burrito with some sauce on top). It was very good and I couldn't finish it all. My husband and son both ordered quesadillas, which they liked. My husband said his steak quesadilla was a bit greasy but that was the only negative of our whole meal. We also shared some street corn fries, which we loved. It was street corn on top of fries. I loved the corn so much that I will just get a side of that on my next visit-but the fries were great too. The menu doesn't say it but they told me they would also make items with corn tortillas if a gluten free dish is needed. This may be a new favorite in Bay City! The location is a little out of the way but definitely worth finding!

So far I've tried their tamales, enchiladas, soft/puffy tacos, and the huge chimichanga. ALL are amazing, but what really sticks out to me is their enchilada sauce, it's green and almost a gravy texture but it's the best damn enchilada sauce I've ever EVER had! Also let's talk about this huge chimichanga, this thing is big, it's this fried tortilla stuffed with cheese and a huge amount of your choice of meat (chicken, pork, or beef) and then doused in their enchilada sauce and topped whatever toppings you like. I can eat a lot but by the time I got to the middle of this thing, I was so full I couldn't eat anything for the rest of the night. It fills you up big time. Anyways, obviously I could write a novel about this place, so go try it, it's awesome, I'm surprised this place hasn't put Taco Bell out of business in this town lol!

Happy hour is EVERYDAY 11-5pm. We were welcomed when we came in and the space was lovely. Very well decorated and the color choices just pop! We choose to sit at the bar and have our meal. We were greeted kindly by Mariah who took our drink order promptly. She was very kind, fun to talk with, helpful and fast with our orders. We normally drink a pitcher of margaritas but decided on individual glasses of the Krazy fresh margaritas for $12.00/ea. They definitely lived up to their name and came in the cutest kisses fish faced glasses. That was a first for me drinking a margarita out of that design. Our appetizer was the chicken empanadas that came out crispy and hot. The additional sauce drizzled across them was a nice touch to the dish. We also had chips with dipping salsa, crab dip, guacamole, and a hot sauce. The chips were hearty and the guacamole was my favorite. Although the crab was a close second! We shared one Mesquite grilled black Angus ribeye steak. It came out in a cutting board with grilled cabbage, peppers and onions. After a few more cocktails and shots that ribeye was so good we had to order a 2nd one to share. Trying to pick a favorite off the menu was tough. Everything sounded amazing so we made the choice from what we liked and were not disappointed. The manager Randy was super knowledgeable on the products and gave us some great suggestions. We left full and happy. Going to have to make it back to try the rest. Definitely found a new favorite spot to be in Bay City! Definitely a clean, safe, friendly environment to spend your time.
