After a horrible nacho experience last Friday I had to restore my faith in Carnitas Nachos by visiting Jilberto's for the best tasting Carnitas with thick crispy tortilla chips, gooey cheese and decadent guacamole! Thank you Jilberto's for satisfying my hunger for great food before I embark on a trip east! Far East. Great service, great value. read more

It's gotta be a no for me dawg. I got an asada burrito-no flavor. The salsa's helped a little. Friend got the potato tacos. She loved them and the beans, but then threw up at the end of the night. Stars for the friendly service and the hustle. read more

Another visit to my parents and another request for carne asada burritos! This time I decided to stop in Temecula rather than Anza, choosing Jilberto's because we like the location in Valley Center. Unfortunately, it missed the mark for me. Service was good and the staff were friendly but the food itself wasn't very good. I ordered a Carne Asada burrito (beans added) and California Burrito and the order was ready after I filled 3 containers of salsa. Very fast. The California was mostly French fries and was dry as hell with little to no flavor. Since the order was ready so quick and there were no other customers, my guess is that the carne and fries were on a warmer for when people come in. I don't think I'll be back to this location. read more

What started with my friend asking me if I want tacos ended with us ordering breakfast burritos. Which just means I need to go back for tacos. The burrito was piping hot and delicious, but my personal preference it was missing refried beans and potatoes. I'd get it again, but ask for add-ons for sure. Which will then totally put you into food coma. But isn't that the sign of a good restaurant?! read more

So back here for a dinner burrito. Trying to find a good standard of comparison so trying California Burritos at as many places I can find. I've already reviewed location and customer service, and in the evening it's a bit busier but staff were still incredibly friendly. They keep it clean and smelling great, definitely what I would expect from a good burrito spot. So the burrito I got is the Cali Supreme, partly because I didn't see the standard California burrito until after I ordered, but also I think the California has potatoes and the supreme has fries? So, glad I went with the Cali Supreme, not only did I want fries, but these fries were great. They were crispy! The crunch to contrast the creamy melted cheese, sour cream and guacamole and the chew of the carne asada was very pleasing. The flavors were all nicely balanced and the only thing I felt was missing had nothing to do with the burrito, the salsa bar lacks heat. But the burrito was a pleasant surprise after a good, but unexciting breakfast burrito experience. 4.9 on the Cali Supreme Burrito with the crispy fries! I don't know if this is there standard or the cook that was working that night, so maybe ask for the fries to be crispy if that's what you want, since I know for sure that's not a common preparation. read more

Temecula might not be a big city, but the traffic sure is a pain in the shopping district. During the 11-day election cycle at the public library, I had to find closer options to fit within the 1hr lunch timeslot, so this restaurant fit the bill. A co-worker mentioned that it's a good spot, so that also shaped my decision. Inside it's not exactly modern or comfy, I imagine a lot of business is probably take-out, but I did find a clean table to wait for my meal to be ready. I got a few salsas from the salsa bar and sat down. Before long, my reasonably priced rolled taco plate came out. I got one apiece of shredded beef and chicken. It looked really good, and not simply because I was starving. The rice and beans really stood out as excellent. The tacos were equally tasty and I felt just right afterwards. Neither too full, or still hungry. Fantastic QPR here, and friendly service. As noted, the dining area is more an option, and the heat and smells of the kitchen might be more obvious on a hot summer day. Nonetheless, I recommend them highly. read more

Jilberto's Taco Shop - Two cheese enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

Came into this location the other day for the first time and it smelled so good inside. I ordered two California burritos and it was like $24. Oh! They do military discount here! The burritos were good and a great size. The only thing I didn't like was the hot sauce is a self serve bar and it didn't look restocked nor did it look clean. I would have liked to have some spicy hot sauce with my burrito but I guess not. The worker was just okay, kinda rude at the end when telling me about the hot sauce. They had a coffee station here too which was cool. They also cater but they're kind of expensive. Overall good food here but otherwise the ambiance and customer service is just mediocre. read more

Jilberto's Taco Shop - Love their potato rolled tacos - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

I really enjoyed this place. It appears to be a Family owned business. The food was good and they had great energy.

Went here for breakfast at the advice of a coworker... big mistake!! I should've stuck w my regular spot Familia Grill. I ordered 5 rolled tacos.... *Barely any meat in it. Like meat strings in there *Guacamole was hella watered down The while this g was extremely bland!! I regret coming here. I spent a whole entire $9 & change for this. Had I spent another $2 more and went to Familia Grill instead, my rolled tacos would've had meat, guacamole would've been better and I would've been happy. Do not come here unless you want low quality Mexican food. Such a bummer!! Very disappointing!!! read more

Our first time here and not impressed. I ordered the 2 enchilada lunch and asked for onion on top, no lettuce. I was charged an extra dollar for the onion (which is inexpensive to buy) and still got lettuce which is pricy to buy right now. The chile sauce was tasteless, the cheese stringy, and the tortillas soggy. I had trouble cutting a piece off of the enchilada to eat with a fork. Hubby got the asada burrito which was just meat and a bit of onion/cilantro mix, no guacamole. It was large enough for two though as we have small appetites. Should have passed on the enchiladas as hubby brought half of his burrito home. Won't be going back, Del Taco would have been better. read more

Probably the best California burrito in Temecula, especially with their green salsa Definitely recommend!

This was our first visit to this taco shop. The Restaurant was cleanish but dated. I say "cleanish" because the tables were mostly clean but the floor was a mess. The Employees were friendly and helpful. There were a few people eating inside and a couple at outside tables. We ordered cheese enchiladas ($10.50), an al pastor burrito ($11.99) carne asada fries ($14.99) A side of rice 1/2 pint ($3.75) The cheese Enchiladas were delicious, they had lettuce on top which we love. The Al pastor burrito was delicious meat was perfectly cooked. The carne asada fries were on point. Great flavor, meat was perfectly cooked. They have a salsa bar there with several choices of salsa. A couple HOT and a mild one. We took containers of all to try and none of the four of us cared for any of them. The guacamole was flavorless. We paid $56.26 for the four meals. read more

Had the breakfast burrito and it was bomb asf. The cashier was polite and helpful, and it took very little time for my food.

My all-time favorite taco shop! Everytime I'm in Temecula, this is my first and last stop before heading back home to Hawai'i. Their Cali burrito is HUGE and delicious. I get full off half of the burrito. I just love coming here, the food and the service is just amazing.

First time coming for lunch I ordered a plan taco of carnitas and a bacon egg and potato burrito. My carnitas taco was not plan it had onions cilantro and guacamole and a lot of fat on the little meat it had. My burrito was mostly potatoes hardly any egg or bacon. This was very disappointing. This will be the last and only time I come to eat here. read more

Hours say open at 7 a.m. but still closed at 8 a.m. Nobody in sight ... sad cuz I loved coming here and that intense taco shop smell.

Be careful when ordering any food from this establishment. First off they do not let you know that they use very spicy salsa to prepare thier food. I ordered this item when I took a bite I realized that they used a high octane spicy salsa YIKES!!. I kindly asked if I could exchange it for something that did not contain a spice equivalent to habanero I was flat out told no we cannot exchange it! So this will be the very last time I step foot into this Alberto's knock off. SENSITIVE PALATES BEWARE! read more

I have to update my review. We went back for a large order for my son's birthday and this time the young woman (the same woman) at the register was cordial. I don't know why, but she actually smiled and said thank you. The food was better also--more like it was in the past. This is good because I really enjoyed eating here. I wouldn't have gone back, but it was my son's birthday and he chose Jilberto's. It's feels better to give a positive review than a negative review. read more

Way too over priced. I was charge almost 40 bucks for 8 rolled tacos and a drink. It's ridiculous.

Unfortunately, this was a let down. Not authentic Mexican food but more catered to the gringo. Menudo sin grano (hominy). The bowl of menudo was FULL of bone and nerve and was flavorless. I must have put 3 full limes, onion, cilantro, oregano and still no flavor. I also ordered a cheese enchilada. How can anyone mess up a cheese enchilada? Well...You put shredded cheese, cover it with sauce and serve it luke warm. The cheese didn't even melt! Tortillas served with the menudo were dry and hard. The lady taking the order was not the friendliest and the cook looked like he would rather be getting a root canal. Definitely does not take pride in his food. Come on Jilbertos, you gotta do better read more
