    Carne Asada Super Fries
    Vincent D.

    Coming from SoCal, I've been on the hunt for legit super fries and a machaca burrito, and this place seriously took me back. The fries don't come with beans, and they aren't included inside the burrito either, so I ordered a side of beans along with some chiles toreados, Salsa-wise, the green was good, but the creamy avocado salsa was hands down my favorite. The staff was super friendly, and the service was fast. I'll definitely be back.

    This is 3 carne asada tacos with lime.

    Love this place, my new Taco Joint. Maria helped me with my order and she sure they made my Chorizo Burrito exactly how I like it. She also decorated the spot with Halloween stuff that gave it a fun vibe, she is fun and all smiles. The food though OMG, giant burritos that taste amazing. A burrito the size of my arm, that was delicious, great flavor cooked well! YESSIR - I'll be back

    Carne Asada Torta & Birria taco
    Brisa B.

    Found Gilberto's on tiktok and immediately had to try, these were some of the best birria tacos I've had! It's a bit small inside but the service was good and fast! We took a bit to order because the menu is huge, while we looked it over the cashier was nice enough to clean a table off for us. We ordered birria ramen, birria tacos, a carne asada torta, horchata, big red and manzanita to drink. The birria was sooo flavorful and really some of the best I've tried. Although, we didn't really care for the ramen. It was too think and hearty, and really was just ramen noodles in the consome. Personally, I think it'd be better if it had a birria broth, like actual ramen. Also, the carne asada torta could've been better, the meat was so chopped it all fell out. It could also use some more toppings like maybe beans or avocado, it was good but kind of bland. Overall, everything was good! I'd definitely come back and try some other menu items.

    Gilbertos Taco Shop is located in Arlington, TX, on Abram, and is just a short few blocks from Globe life serving up great fast Mexican food including breakfast burritos that are served all day plus combination platters, tacos, and your regular burritos. From the view on Abram, it doesn't look like parking, but if you pull in, there is parking in the back adjacent to the auto shop. I came in before lunch and was greeted by the lovely staff and was presented a menu to order from at the counter. The menu is posted up on flat-screen tvs, and they also have paper menus as well. I went ahead and ordered the California burrito that came with Carne asada, fries, cheese, and Pico. The place isn't that big but offers roughly a good amount of seating for your friends and family to join you. There is a salsa station inside that had a nice variety of salsa with pickled carrots, onions, and jalapeños. They also have tapatio and Valentina as well. Within minutes, my food was ready and was presented to me for my dine in order. The burrito was packaged and rolled nicely in a piece of paper. When I took off the wrapper, the heat from burrito startled me, and I got excited! The tortilla was perfectly grilled and soft and had a nice fat to flour ratio. Quick time first bite and wowwww! I was surprised how loaded and packed this thing was! The Carne was seasoned well, and the cheese was melted to perfection. All of the sauces complimented this beauty perfectly, and I kept digging in regardless of how hot and fresh this masterpiece was. It was an awesome meal, too, Jumpstart my day! The food was marvelous and packed with lots of love from the chef. This wasn't a dry burrito but a juicy wet burrito with all the fat drippings waiting for you at the bottom of the tortilla. I'll definitely be back, and I'm excited to try more items such as the enchiladas or tortas! Thank you, Gilbertos, for a stunning meal!

    That was it in my chile relleno burrito. 9 bucks

    The staff was really friendly. The young woman at the counter really nice. The inside impeccably clean. My husband ordered the Arlington burrito he loved it. Ordered a bacon burrito that was good. I ordered a chile relleno burrito and it was trash. The outer egg was hard as a rock. There was no cheese anymore. It looked like it was made then frozen over fried. Really sad. Couldn't it eat. I'd recommended just getting breakfast burritos.

    Delicious! Food was great size for the cost. Service was great and server was very friendly. Only downside is no soda machine or water cups, only bottled drinks except for horchata, jamaica, and two other juices.

    I enjoyed the food a lot. It is a bit smaller inside for indoor seating but besides that, staff was great. Horchata could use some work, but overall, I loved it here.

    Gilberto's is probably the best taco shop around. Their food is so authentic and not tex mex style. What prompt me to write the review tonight was the customer service. I called 12 minutes before they close and she took my order! Didn't give an attitude just was happy to take my order. How sweet. Their customer service is usually really good. I'm really happy with how my food turned out tonight!

    Ordered a Birria Burrito, it was genuinely some of the best birria I've tasted. The Consomé was good also. I recommend the Dark Green Salsa.

    Moved to Arlington in the last year, and I'm so grateful family members told me this restaurant was…read morehere! They're always so clean, the music isn't too loud and the whole place smells delicious. I was able to order 6lbs of Pollo and 8lbs Bistek on a Thursday after 5pm, for a party on Saturday 1pm. It's so worth the time and it came out very savory and fresh. This place is amazing for takeout or dine in; just be aware that they're rightfully busy! Please have patience with the staff, they're so kind and helpful all the time.

    Found this place on yelp. They had high reviews so I decided to give it a try. Everything was okay…read more Nothing really stood out. The salsa was tasty and spicy. The tacos weren't overly greasy. I got the 5 taco plate with beans and rice it was 15.99 but with tax and tip it came closer to $20 (no drink included). The two meats I got were barbacoa and bistec. The texture of the bistec was chopped very finely (I'm use to bigger pieces). Both meats were soft and "juicy" (I felt like they were watery) they didn't hold much flavor. The tortillas were fairly good. The space is really big and clean, the employees were very nice. I wish I would've liked the tacos more but they just weren't for me! However, they might be for you, so I would still stop by and give them a try! Maybe you will have better luck or pick a better item on the menu! They did have a lot to choose from.
