I grew up in Bay City but I have lived in Houston for 30+ years. On this trip up here, we were…read morecraving some good Mexican food, which isn't easy to find (because we are spoiled). 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.

I ordered the brisket sandwich. I've eaten a lot of brisket at a lot of places but I've never had it charred over fire. It shockingly good. I would say maybe the best brisket I've ever had. The meat itself was super tender but still moist, then the char brought out all the flavor. I tried the sauces, all of which were good but the meat was the star of the show. I honestly didn't care for the mustard potato salad but didn't mind because there was so much meat on the plate. I'll stop here every time I'm in the area. 10/10
