The chips are a heavier corn variety and the salsa is on the medium spicy scale. They also serve a type of jalapeño slaw with cilantro, which my wife devoured. My entree was the Camarones Apretalados, which had plump shrimp wrapped in bacon on a bed of onions, peppers, and mushrooms and a generous covering of cheese. It also comes with rice, pico, refried beans, and hot fresh tortillas (corn or flour). It's a big serving and very filling. My wife had the Grilled Dhicken Taco Salad and it was also a generous portion and she loved the flavors.

The restaurant is relatively small, but we had no issue getting a table for 5. The staff was super attentive, friendly and quick. The food was DELICIOUS! The portions are really generous and the flavors were amazing. I had the 3 dish combination and chose a crispy chile relleno, a chimichanga and a tostado. Everything tasted amazing. I also had a small margarita which was served in a small pitcher which was also delicious to have with meal. This is a solid choice for Mexican food if you are in the Grand Junction/Clifton area!

It was Friday night and the place was starting to get busy but we were seated quickly. The hostess even apologized for our wait that couldn't have been more than 3 minutes. The place has a nice, friendly vibe. We were provided chips and salsa while we waited for our food which was flavorful and large portion. Great waitress and the food was fantastic. I didn't get photos but the 2 enchiladas with a hard shell taco was awesome. They had a gentlemen playing a guitar on stage and the staff would encourage him and hoot and howler which got the customers into it. It was a nice touch to a great meal.

I was just driving through town and stopped here looking for something quick and good to eat, and…read morethis ended up being a surprisingly great find. I got the carnitas burrito, and my friend got the carnitas taco. I was especially impressed by how much meat they put in my burrito for the price. The carnitas were tender with crispy pieces throughout, and the whole thing was flavorful, filling, and tasted surprisingly authentic. For how affordable everything was, I wasn't expecting the quality or portions to be as good as they were. The restaurant itself is also pretty spacious inside with plenty of seating, and the cashier who rang us up was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I came in mostly because I needed a quick meal while passing through, but I left already thinking I'd stop here again the next time I'm driving through town.

This was our second trip to Los Jilbertos this year and I was very happy with my meal…read more I got the two taco plate (carnitas and adobada) and an order of three rolled tacos (taquitos) with guacamole sauce. The tacos, which were made with double full-sized corn tortillas, were stuffed with meat and fixings. The carnitas was flavorful and crispy. The adobadas could have used more marinade and was bordering on dry, but was still satisfying. You can't see it in the picture, but under the tacos, the rice and beans completely filled the bottom of the container. The refried beans were lardy and rich. The rice was perfectly done. The rolled tacos were crispy and topped with a guacamole sauce and a little shredded cheese. Inside the rolled tacos was very tender, almost mushy, shredded beef (I dissected one, so I know). The SO got the fish taco and a bean and cheese burrito. She was very happy with her order. In the taco was a very generous amount of crunchy fried fish topped with a lot of cabbage, sauce, onions and cilantro. The salsa bar was fresh and had everything I needed to compliment my meal. The red and green sauces both had good flavor. The carrots and onions were spiced nicely. What really surprised me today was how fast our order was ready. Just a few minutes after I finished getting my sauces, pico de gallo, and carrots, we were walking out the door with our food. There was even a long drive thru line. If you're in the area and you're hungry, don't pass by this place by.
