It was $47 something I was honestly disappointed in the food we got chips with cheese..you can tell they were microwaved you have amazing portion sizes but get melted cheese and out that bad boy in some hot water please it would help the chips so much more I’d rather have kinda soggy chips then microwaved food it was really disappointing my mom got a shrimp burrito and she said hers barley had any flavor and same with my burrito too taste test your food look at reviews don’t take them to heart I beg it helps your business locals will be nice to you but how many come back I need flavor I want to go wow that exploded in my mouth type of feel you guys just need a little help the portion sizes i would come back for but not the flavor. I worked in a restaurant before for 5 years do better or your business is going to go downhill fast I loved the drive thru but not the food it was very very disappointing i would rather have fizlooi’s back

UPDATE: Changing my 2 star review to 1 star. Although I appreciate the owner responding to my review, he has not responded to my email I took the time to send them, and he still has not offered any resolution to receiving old/bad guacamole and no egg which I had paid extra for. Apparently, I am still expected to pay for an item I never received. I would have rather had a response to my email and work towards some sort of resolution, but instead, I received some generic response from the owner. I would perhaps expect that from a shift supervisor, but not from the owner. I went without dinner that evening after spending $30, because the enchiladas ended up containing an item I could not consume. Unfortunately, I am finding the management to be worse than the food by not displaying any urgency, understanding, nor resolution to a negative experience. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!
I just picked up my food from Giliberto’s in Rochester, MN and was excited and ready to relax. However, I opened my chips with guacamole and cheese, and the cheese is just shredded cheese blend not melted with grayish green guacamole thrown all over the chips. The image for the chips with guacamole and cheese when ordering online, shows cheese dip, and fresh guacamole on the side in containers. I ordered it in hopes of receiving fresh guacamole and cheese dip both on the side, as shown in the online image. It is an $8 item! I was planning to eat it later, but it doesn’t taste fresh and it will get all soggy with old guacamole all over the chips. I will not be eating it at all. I had also paid extra for an egg on my enchiladas. I even commented “over medium egg on top please.” However, there is no egg at all. Not a huge deal, the enchiladas look good but I did pay an extra $1.55 for an egg I didn’t receive. The rice pudding is a HUGE PORTION and looks delicious, so thank you! A disappointing first experience here, unfortunately.

First mystery of the evening: why is it drive-through only? Did I accidentally pull up to a taco bank? Do I need a PIN to unlock my carne asada?
No dining room. No lingering. No dramatic salsa sampling. Just you, your steering wheel, and the sacred exchange of burrito through window.
But listen. Once that bag hit my passenger seat, all questions faded. The smell alone could bring peace to small nations. Carne asada doing pushups. Rice fluffy. Beans holding the line. Salsa with that quiet little heat that sneaks up like “hola amigo” and then boom, now you’re sweating.
There’s something kind of elite about drive-through tacos though. It feels underground. Secret. Like you’re in a tortilla speakeasy. No tables. No witnesses. Just you and destiny wrapped in foil.
Would I like to sit down? Yes.
Will I absolutely keep pulling up like it’s a taco ATM? Also yes.

Gilberto’s is legit as it gets. Authenticity at the core values of this restaurant and hospitality is at the heart of their culture. I appreciate the absolute highest quality of ingredients in the cuisine, and business model here.

The food is ALWAYS amazing here! The loaded nachos looked picture perfect, the birria burrito was juicy and flavorful, the kids quesodillas and fries were tasty! I’ve been here now 3 times and have not been disappointed yet. And the fact that they’re 24 hours just makes this so much more available with my families hectic schedule.

Maybe it’s because I had high hopes, I love Mexican, but this was a let down. let’s start with chips and salsa. They have no free chips and salsa…that’s fine. But paying 9 dollars for guacamole from a bag on cold chips with some sprinkle cheese…COME ON. The green chili pork was ok, seemed like it could have simmered longer, just kind of warm. Beans from a can that were kinda warm, the cheese on top never melted. The birra beef was good. Rice was warm. You get one big flower tortilla with your meal.
The service was just ok. No enthusiasm, it felt like it was a bother for me to be there.
Total bill was 42$ before tip which for what you get, there is several better places in Rochester.
On a positive note the salsa bar is nice and the fountain soda doesn’t taste funky. Place was super clean.
I will give this place one more try but if the experience is the same I won’t be back.

I went to Gilberto’s for a late lunch and got the number seven combination plate, $12.50. A burrito, enchilada, with rice and beans. I thought it was very good and their condiment bar was well stocked with delicious salsa’s and other condiments, pickled carrots and jalapenos. I recommend Giliberto’s to eat because the food was good, the service was good, and the area was clean. I’m trying to upload photos of the food but I don’t think it’s letting me do that. The food was excellent.

This was my first time at Gilberto’s. I was sad for a Mexican restaurant there was no alcohol, just juice & Pepsi products. I’m not a fan of Pepsi at all.
I got in line to order, but no one was there to place the order with. Finally a man was at a register and I went up to him. He asked what my number was? I told him I haven’t ordered yet. He told me the first register is to order. The second register is pick up.
But there wasn’t anyone at the first register. We stood and waited until someone finally come to the register. He had zero personality and was clearly unhappy to be there. We ordered and went to sit down and get our drinks.
I was impressed with the salsa bar. I felt like the salsa was fresh. But they had pickled carrots on three times. It’s like they ran out of options to stick out there. But the carrots are good.
The area where you get plastic ware to eat and hot sauce is very cluttered and chaotic. Got my soda & set down.
We only waited about 13 minutes for our food. This was a surprise to me, as I read reviews that it took much longer. The inside had 4 total tables eating inside, including the two of us. There were about 4 families getting carry out and the drive through is very busy.
My steak fajitas were disappointing. Just onions, green & red pepper and super small, hard pieces of beef. There was quite a bit of the beef, but they were cut small like you were feeding a dog. The peppers were so over cooked, the red was more pink and only one green pepper looked green in color. The steak was seasoned well, but very tough to chew the small overcooked steak.
It had rice and refried beans. The rice wasn’t hot, just warm and lacked seasoning or flavor. The beans were cold in the middle and without salt flavor.
The tortilla was one very large shell I had to break into pieces to eat. Like very large in size (see photo).
The person with me ordered the taco salad. They felt there was very little lettuce, the meat (ground beef) was dry and their was too much sour cream. Not a dish they would get again or recommend.
We didn’t do a dessert.
The food is served much like Chinese food, in foam containers. Everything is just plopped inside and it’s difficult to make a good presentation. I dislike that they are using styrofoam- in this age of recycling and trying to lessen our footprint- can’t we use paper? Anyway- I guess it’s ready for take out if you don’t eat everything. We ate less than a quarter out of each box and threw the rest away. Just not the quality of food you expect for $20 per person or more.
Glad we tried it, but it’s a one & done for me I’m afraid. It’s hard to compare with so many other amazing Mexican restaurants in town that give you chips, salsa and even bean dip while you order.
The decor is ok. They have tiny dolls hanging in clear plastic containers from multiple points in the restaurant- I didn’t quite understand and it was a little creepy honestly. The music was a nice cultural selection, mostly in Spanish but too loud as it interfered with having a conversation.

So recently I was on Facebook and I ad came up with a promotion from this restaurant for a free taco upon trying to retrieve the free taco I was told by staff that I had to make a purchase to get the free taco. Which, in the coupon? It didn’t say that you had to make a purchase. I feel like this is false. Advertisement andn I was not okay with that.n And I asked her Since the coupon didn’t say that we had to make a purchase. Could I still get my free taco? She refused. She also called her manager, who told me.Unfortunately, that’s the cand I said well then you should take it down.or put that you have to make a purchase.
