    Brisket tacos from food truck
    Eric G.

    I ordered brisket tacos from a food truck at an event. They were friendly and quick with service. Almost too quick since they literally handed me the tacos seconds after paying! I got 4 tacos for $13, which is reasonable given that it's brisket and they include avocado, onion, salsa. The brisket for me was lacking a bit in flavor, and was a bit dry. I'd probably try a different item in the future, or perhaps their brick and mortar is better quality. Overall though the taste was good and I'd go back to try what else they have!

    Best Onion Rings!

    This is for the restaurant on DelMar. The gorilla burger is big and delicious. The onion rings are the best! Service is always great! I need to try other items on the menu.

    These are full size burgers full of flavor. The bacon cheeeburger features 2 patties, cheddar, Muenster and bacon. Not the greatest beef but well seasoned French fries good enough to eat without ketchup. Cannot give it a 4.5 do 5 it is.

    Gorilla Smoke and Grill was recommended by a friend of mine, so I had to try it after he showed me a picture of the brisket sandwich. That makes me think, aren't we a weird generation, we used to show pictures of our kids, pets, vacations, or even hobbies. Now we have pictures of food in our phone, like they're part of our family. Anyways... The brisket sandwich is truly to enjoy. Together with the gorilla sauce, and the fries, a great meal. The only question I have is who built the booths cause somehow one seat has plenty of room that will fit a gorilla, and at the opposite side you got to squeeze yourself in it. Oh, and it would be cool to have water bottles as a choice for drinks, not just fountain drinks.

    Loaded Fry's with brisket and Gorilla Burger

    Great portions. I think you could easily get a burger fry and drink under 15. I got a gorilla burger and loaded fries with brisket. Everything came out hot and fresh and fairly quick. Highly recommend over any chain burger place.

    (This review is for the South Zapata HWY location) This was my first time trying Gorilla Smoke and Grill. Let me start off with the staff which were very welcoming and courteous throughout my visit this day. For the price of their menu items, I had to try their Buffalo fries appetizer and their famous brisket sandwich. The wait was probably under 15 minutes and the food came out fresh and delicious! Will definitely be coming back and let family and friends know. Great job!

    We went for my husband's 55th birthday and it was delicious. The meats were tender and juicy, the fries are crisp and full of potato and loaded really means loaded no skimping here! The fried pickles and gorilla fingers sooo good and surprise they use Munster cheese The portions are...like the name...Gorilla sized!!! Definitely a place where you can share!!! The building is bright and cheery. You can choose to eat inside or outside just be sure to order at the counter. The staff is super friendly and helpful! We had a great time! Gracias

    The vibe, service and flavor of the food is amazing. Everytime I go I try and order something new and i'm always left satisfied. Can't wait to go again and see what new item I try!

    I ordered a couple of fajita tacos and unfortunately I was very disappointed. The only pro was the…read moreabout of meat you get, but it didn't help if it's not seasoned well. Also, the taco is held in a single corn tortilla which doesn't hold the weight of the food. It broke easily and ended up being very messy. I'd rather try other taco spots in the area before returning.

    Taco Tuesday in Laredo led me here as this was not too far from my hotel. And after being…read moredistraught from my arrival to my lodging area, I knew tacos would cheer me up. Walking in here, I saw the tacos were the street taco type based on what was served to the diners here so I figured I would order more than a couple. It smelled amazing and had me foaming at the mouth after I put my order in and waited with anticipation. I decided on the following flavors: -pastor, -tripa x 2, -brisket -pechuga tacolare especial (chicken, ham, bacon) After giving me my bag, I immediately raced back to my hotel, unwrapped everything and was a bit confused on how they wrapped it. Most taco places I've been to usually have the tacos wrapped individually or bunch them in the folded format. They were wrapped up laid flat so everything was on top of each other which I got a bit confused by. So I carefully pulled each one out, drizzled some of that green and red sauce provided and then ate. I was impressed by the brisket and tripa, both of those were killer. The pastor wasn't bad but I probably should've done a different flavor since it was a bit overdone IMO. The pechuga tacolore was the greasiest but a pleasant surprise since I kinda like my tacos that way. Price wise, it's a bit more expensive for street tacos than I'm used to but the taste and flavor are there. I noticed it's a favorite here in Laredo as there were a good amount of to-go orders and people inside were happily chowing down on their eats. When Laredo calls my name again, I'll definitely be back here for other taco flavors and some of those boracho beans.

My friendly server immediately came to check on me and see what I was interested in. It took me a minute to decide as the food selection here is impressively diverse. You can get traditional Mexican dishes as well as seafood and sushi. The chips and salsas brought out were dynamite! I loved each salsa just as much and they will keep the chips coming as long as you can handle it! I opted to start with a dozen raw oysters, which came out quickly. They were a good size and served up with Mexican cocktail sauce and limes. The only drawback to this order was that the oysters were still connected to their shells and no traditional oyster fork was offered for use. No biggie, though - a spoon did the trick. For my entree I had the large octopus and shrimp cocktail. This concoction was massive and beautifully topped with avocado, cilantro and onion. It was chock full of octopus and shrimp, and was delicious! The cold cocktail was fresh, clean-tasting, and very satisfying on a hot summer day. My experience here was excellent, and I hope to come back before my time in Laredo is done.

Each time I put in my order online through the Clover app and picked up the eats from the place. You'll be greeted by some mexican fiesta music playing with a clean interior and the sounds of meats sautéing on the flattop in the back. These were my surroundings as I received my orders from the nice lady at the counter and dashed back to grub. Every taco I've ordered comes with sauteed onions and radishs with the cilantro/onion garnish and all have been delicious. The bistec, alambre, pastor, brisket w/ sausage, and suadero meats are packed with flavor/seasoning and have perfect texture with the corn tortillas they are stuffed in. The small quesadillas are also a treat with the cheese melted to perfection on the meats. Tacos look small but they pack it with a good amount of protein and are piping hot, even after bringing them back to my domicile. Glad this is in Laredo!
