    Great service great portion sizes and great prices. What else can you ask for. This is the standard Mexican and taco spot and it doesn't get any better.

    Had this place bookmarked & have driven by it many times. Taco Elegante's claims to serve up "the best carne asada tacos in town" so this was the reason we wanted to give it a shot. Came in last night close to 8PM and decided to order "to go". They do have some seating available inside for dine in customers, but unfortunately noticed their salsa bar was empty! Doesn't look to even be in use? This should have been a sign.. Ordered their Carne Asada burrito which my husband specifically asked what came inside the burrito. The woman at the counter said it comes with pico de gallo & guacamole. He was happy to hear that as some places add the additional fillers such as rice /beans etc. I chose the beef enchilada combination plate. The nice thing about that is the choices beef, chicken or cheese are all the same price. We also got a carne asada taco cause "you know"! Wait for our meal wasn't long. There was only a family of four dinning inside. When we got home all was packed & presented nicely. That was the best part. The Carne Asada Burrito was $10.85 and was not the size it should have been; plus it didn't have one dollop of guacamole! The taco was average at $4.95 more fresh pico than actual meat & majorly skimpy on that guacamole. There was zero marinade flare to the meat. The combo plate was the best choice as far as the price, but still $12.50?! The enchilada sauce was bland and lots of shredded lettuce as more of a garnish and not needed. Rice and beans had no affect on the tastebuds. The salsas red/green are really watered down and have not one bit of flavor or heat. Our bill was $29.75 for three items, NO drinks! Super disappointing with the cost, craving completely cancelled and didn't even eat half of my meal 'cause it just missed the mark. I can say that we tried, bookmark removed and not a location we will return.

    Time for another installment of The Great Taco Journey. I was hungry for a breakfast burrito and decided to give this restaurant a chance. Very clean inside a little on the small side. But I was impressed by how busy it was at 10:00 in the morning on a Sunday. I ordered a sausage and egg burrito made fresh. Came hot off the grill. It was very flavorful and I would definitely recommend it. I know what you're thinking, but Mark why would you order a taco at 10:00 in the morning on a Sunday? Because I always am hungry for a taco lol. I got the adobada soft taco. I was very impressed with the flavor and freshness of the taco. Just the right amount of heat brought by the seasoning on the taco. Plenty of adobada on the taco. I will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu. Definitely worth a visit!

    Carne asada burrito really good. A lot of steak and good amount of avocado. Carnitas soft taco is really good and is huge. Salsa and chip is really. Home made salsa is awesome.

    They need to update their profiles it's now called Tacos Elegante. And it beats Tosinos by a million stars!!! SOOO good! I ordered the rolled tacos, carne asada quesadilla and bean/cheese burrito. One of the best bean and cheese burritos I've ever had. Service was friendly. Red sauce is delicious. I'll definitely be back now that it's no longer Tosino's!!!

    This place is so good!! I have never had anything bad from here! My favorites are the rolled tacos and horchata! The horchata is made fresh daily and it's so creamy! It is not watered down like most taco shops! The owners are so nice! It doesn't take long to get your food and it's made to order!

    We ordered Carne Asada tacos (regular and Mini) and the carne asada was flavorful and green hot sauce was yummy.

    I told the lady specifically what I wanted . Which was shrimp tacos . With pico . I also told her I wanted it spicy . I have no idea what the heck she gane me but it's not even close to what I wanted . So rather then let me reorder without charging me she has the audacity to try and make me pay again when I didn't eat anything!

    Fresh hot chips and yummy salsa
    Nina C.

    Wanted to check out some new tacos places so based on reviews we decided to go here. We got mini tacos carne asada doe the kids and the regular size tacos for myself and the hubby. First the regular tacos are HUGE!!! I got Al pastor, carne asada, chicken and carnitas. I got it with pico and guacamole. Also got chips and salsa. Chips are hot and fresh. The salsas are so tasty! Not super spicy on the more mild ones. My fav salsa was the ones that came with the chips. My fav taco was the carnitas cause they fry the meat and it's crispy! Carne asada was close second. Wasn't a fan of the other two. I've been here twice now cause it's so good!

    Asked for three Carne Asada Burritos. Two came the same, one didn't.

    I used to love going here because when you asked for a carne asada burrito it had the guacamole, pico de gallo, & you could get the pickled carrots & jalapeños on the side. I went today (June 12th. 9-10 am) asked for three carne asada burritos & they fucking came with rice & beans.. My parents & I loved coming here & now we won't put the effort going here.

    3 taquitos. Guacamole & cheese with a Verde & hot salsa on the side.

    I was craving taquitos for lunch & decided to try this place. They were friendly, the food was fresh, I sat a table in the cute little dining area & was very pleased overall. Perfect, tasty little lunchtime snack for about $5. I'll be back.

We got super lucky and were able to sit at the bar, open seating, with the TVs. There are regulars that come in and seem to have a good rapport with the staff and they love the food. It was a bit of a rush time and there was only one bartender so service was a bit slow. We did get some chips and salsa as we waited. Good chips, airy and crispy. The salsa was OK. I'm personally just not a fan of roasted salsa. Their beer was crisp and thoroughly cold which was refreshing. I tried the amor de mango and it was tasty. I can't remember my first drink either. It was a Paloma or a margarita, but i didn't enjoy as much, which is why I changed my next drink. The chimi trio was very tasty and full of flavor, one bean one chicken one beef, all good. Then we got the carnitas cheese crisp which was interesting and had good flavor. I would order both again. Service was pretty good. Like I said, the bartender was busy working by himself and when one of his coworkers noticed, we didn't have any more water then she would come by and help so that was appreciated. It s good date spot, or catching up with a friend or just grabbing a bite to eat and drink for yourself. I look forward to coming back and trying entrees. My only hope is that during the hot bright times they lower the shades and get more shades. Not only to reduce the sun coming in but also reduce the glare on the tv that way all spots at the bar are good spots.

    A Birthday Dinner Done Right at Origen in Gilbert!…read more I made reservations to celebrate my wife's birthday at Origen in Gilbert, and from the moment we walked through the door, it felt like we had picked the right place. First, the decor and atmosphere are absolutely beautiful. Origen has that perfect balance of upscale elegance and warmth. The wood, lighting, textures, and Mexican-inspired design create an atmosphere that feels sophisticated without feeling stuffy. There is clearly a lot of attention to detail throughout the restaurant, and it makes the entire experience feel special. Add in the live saxophone music and energy of the room, and it feels like you're going somewhere for an experience--not simply going out to eat. Then came the food. Origen does a fantastic job combining modern Mexican flavors with a steakhouse experience. The menu has plenty of choices, but everything feels intentional and elevated. The flavors were bold without being overwhelming, and the presentation made each course feel like part of the experience. From the appetizers to the entrees, we were impressed with the quality and attention to detail. And if you're a cocktail person, don't skip the cocktails. The drink menu is creative, and the cocktails aren't simply colorful drinks designed to look good--they actually have flavor and character. The mezcal-based options especially fit the restaurant's Mexican-inspired concept beautifully. It's the kind of cocktail program that makes you want to try something different instead of ordering your usual drink. But honestly, what made our night was the service. Our waitress, Ash, was phenomenal. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and--most importantly--knowledgeable about the menu. She didn't just read descriptions to us; she took the time to explain the dishes, answer our questions, and make recommendations based on what we were interested in trying. That made ordering much easier, especially with a menu that has so many interesting choices. But what really stood out was how much care Ash took to make sure my wife had a great birthday experience. She paid attention to the little things. She made my wife feel celebrated without making the evening feel forced or overdone. There was a genuine warmth to the way she interacted with us, and you could tell she understood that this wasn't just another dinner--it was an important occasion for us. That matters. Anyone can bring food to a table. Great hospitality is about making people feel seen, welcomed, and taken care of. Ash absolutely did that for us. My wife had a wonderful birthday, and as her husband, that's really what I wanted most from the evening. Origen gave us the beautiful setting, great food, creative cocktails, and atmosphere. Ash put the personal touch on the experience that made the night memorable. If you're looking for a place in Gilbert for a birthday, anniversary, date night, or just a night when you want to dress up and have a really good dinner, I'd definitely put Origen on the list. And if you're lucky enough to have Ash as your server, you're in good hands. Five stars from us. We'll definitely be back.
