Gilbert's Restaurant

We stopped here passing through and it was just ok. The salsa is good but it’s very spicy. I got the green chili chicken enchiladas and the green chili was okay, had some spice, but the chicken was flavorless. The rice was the best part. My husband got a barbacoa burrito and he said it lacked flavor as well.

I had a fantastic meal at Gilbert’s Restaurant in Van Horn. The Mexican Plate was generous and delicious—featuring a perfectly cooked chile relleno, two cheese enchiladas, a beef taco, rice and beans, and a small fresh salad. Everything was flavorful and comforting, and the experience was made even better by a wonderful server who was genuinely friendly and welcoming. A great stop for classic Mexican food in town.

Stopped at 7am for breakfast. Coffee was very good and the barbacoa tacos were so delicious. The red salsa was hot and went perfect with the tacos. Wish we lived close to enjoy more of the menu. 🔥🔥🔥🌮☕️

Ate here twice as they were one of the only businesses open during the ice storm in Texas. Very pleased with the food, service, and atmosphere. Very local spot with school teachers showing up for lunch, even had the priest there in the evening. I had the chili verde and Jajahira's burrito. In the restaurant there's a picture of Jajahira in high school, and turned out she was the one serving me the burrito! Super nice people and you get the complimentary chips and salsa, too :)

We stopped at Gilberts in Van Horn Tx for lunch while passing through and we're quite pleased. I had the red flat enchiladas and my wife had chicken flats. Both were EXCELLENT. The house made salsa was some of the best I've ever had, and the service was great.i highly recommend this place.
