    Still support my favorite taqueria as much as possible even though prices have gone up, it's all restaurants not just them. Had to get my carne asada burrito, 5 rolled tacos and chile verde! My wife loves their chile verde plate and thinks it's the best in Riverside. Support local businesses and even the ones owned locally.

    Great food and great service! We ordered party food from Jilberto's Taco Shop, and everything was ready right on time. The food was delicious, fresh, and consistent with the same great quality and taste we've had before. The order was complete, and one of the guys even helped me load everything into my truck, which I really appreciated. Only one sauce was mixed up, but that was a very small issue. Overall, highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back!

    3 rolled tacos. Comes with guac and cheese

    Staying in the area and looked up carne asada fries. I went to school in SD and practically lived off of carne asada fries. Anyway, I went to big trusty Yelp and this popped up. Parking was difficult for a Friday evening as it's shared with a bunch of other establishments. Extensive menu, but I knew what I wanted. Carne asada fries with everything on it and 3 rolled tacos, to-go. I got my sauce cups and went to town to try them all. This is exactly what I was craving. Having moved to Texas and now in the Bay Area, the flavors of carne asada fries and rolled tacos just hits different when in SD (or SD adjacent in this case haha). I'm sure locals have their favorite, go-to spots. For me, this hit the spot.

    I love this taco shop. I've been coming here for years. The food is always good and consistent and so is the customer service. They are always friendly. I like to call my order in unless I'm eating there because it gets busy. It's right across from the promenade mall so it has a good location with plenty of parking. It's always clean and they also have a michocana located in there as well in case you want dessert afterwards.

    Al Pastor street taco, boring and flavorless.

    I only dropped by here at 9:30 am because the rest of the shopping center doesn't open until 10 am, and Jilberto opens 8 am. I needed to kill time for Goodwill to open. And today is Taco Tues and all $3.50 street tacos are $1.99. I picked cabeza meat, but the s was very bland and flavorless. Boring! At the salsa bar, the ladle handles are way too long in that you cannot lift filled ladle out onto your taco because the spit glass is so low the ladle handle hits it first. When you lower the handle to get it outta the spit awning, the sauce dumps and they have to clean it up. When I tried to show the employee Frankie how the ladle hits the glass, then when I lower the handle and the sauce dumps, he was not interested. I told him he should tell his boss. He said the boss can't do anything about it. I said yes he can he can get shorter ladle handles. Frankie was not paying attention to what I was saying. His eyes were on the soccer game on the screen and he didn't answer. So another 1 star ding. Another reason for 1 star is because for $1.99 taco Tuesday price, you only get a 3" street taco, but at Rubio's, you get a full size fish taco for $2.25...used to be $1.99 beginning of the year. I told the employee that the cabaza was really flavorless and boring. Did he think any of the other meats have more flavor? He said maybe the El Pastor. So I ordered another Mini Al Pastor taco. It was just as boring as the cabeza. The marinated carrots were tasty but doesn't weigh enough to move the one star to two stars.

    San Diego Mexican food sets the bar up high for other cities like Temecula. It took us about 3-4 restaurants in the past 3 years to get something decent. This place works. The have cabeza tacos (which is a plus for me). The service is good and they have a salsa bar so you can stack your own salsa to go.

    Quick Mexican food should be delicious and Jilbertos did not disappoint!!! The food was Southern California style!! Portions were generous and delicious!! Small quaint Mexican restaurant with good customer service. They treated me with a smile and the music got me in the spirit!! Located in shopping center next to mall. This was my first time eating here and I will certainly come back and bring my friends.

    This place is a hidden gem, first thing walking in I was great with a bright, happy woman behind…read morethe register. I asked what breakfast burrito is the best or her favorite and took her up on the recommendation of the Machaca Breakfast Burrito. Choosing to dine in I was offered chips and salsa and asked for salsa preference. No salsa bar here which was fine, I chose spicy and got a roasted red salsa and creamy green salsa. Red had more kick but the green had such a nice bright flavor. I'm sure there are more options but it was nice to trust the service to pick. Now for the burrito, the star of the show, Machaca is only 50 cents more than the bacon, coming in at around $14 which is about average around here. The size was great and a nice weight. Cutting it open there was a great mix of all the ingredients. Potatoes were a small dice and seasoned with the same spice they sprinkle on their chips I think. Fajita style onions and peppers with a generous amount of juicy Machaca, laced with perfectly melted cheese. I think there may have been some refried beans in there too since I asked for everything they recommend. If there was they were so nicely blended they didn't dominate a single bite and may have performed more as a binder. 5 stars for Location and staff were both great as it's not hard to get to off Ynez by the dealerships. It's the kind of place locals know of and tell people they got their perfect spot. Blown away by how friendly the staff is, in the morning, while taking deliveries. The Machaca Breakfast Burrito is a solid 4.9/5, would definitely order again after I try some of the others because this place is definitely going on the short list of go-to spots. They have quesaberria tacos that look awesome.

The location is a mom and pop operation with enough tables and seating to accommodate maybe a few groups of people. We arrived here on a weekday afternoon as we were craving some breakfast burritos. This restaurant is steady with customers coming in for their lunch breaks. The cashiers and staff were very welcoming to us as we needed dining in. We ended up ordering a Machaca burrito and a fish burrito. They offered house made chips and salsa as complimentary items. These burritos were served so hot and fresh the steam was seeping through. The machaca was delicious and I loved the spice from the fresh cut jalapenos. My wife and I ended up eating 1/2 of our burritos and took the rest to go. Familia Restaurant is definitely feels worth their pricing. The hospitality from staff was top tier. I'd recommend coming by if you are in this area. Please come by and support this family business. We left happy! ( ^_^)b

This place has always been our go to Mexican restaurant when we come down here. We came on cinco de mayo which was busy and we had waited 20 minutes for a table which we expected. So we placed are order. Wife asked for the 2 taco special with no sour cream. I order the same thing with no cheese or sour cream. I did that cause I'm lactose intolerant. The waitress stated that they can't substitute? I'm not substituting anything. Just don't add it. The "manager" came over and said we can't substitute? I stated I'm not substituting anything, just don't want cheese or sour cream. He said since they're busy cause of cinco de mayo they can't do it which tells me they can't handle a large amount of customers and there food they make in the back there cooks are auto pilot and get devate from the normal operation. We have been here before and "NEVER" had a problem with the way we ordered but today was an issue which tells me things are difficult especially if busy. We will not be back cause it was just a simple request and they couldn't fulfill that. We went over to Rosa's and tortilla factory which is down the street and it was good and "much cheaper ". I will never recommend Guadalajara to anyone anymore cause they couldn't handle a simple request.
