★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jenny Woods · Feb 2026

The lady who works there gave me attitude over the phone when ordering and even worse in person, for absolutely no reason. I was polite the whole time but she looked at me and moved her head around with her eyes popping out and just blinked at me with a bad attitude. I apologized for standing there? Then proceeded to ask about my order. Food was decent. Drinks were great. Terrible customer service. Who hired this lady? Mind you, this was one lady. Not sure about the rest of them.

Calling in your order works best. Soup is hearty and delicious, but so are the California and Carne Asada burritos. Bean, cheese, and rice burritos are a great option plus their taquitos! The Monster burrito is perfect for gatherings or a party.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Genevieve Martinez · Jun 2023

I know it sounds funny but I came into this restaurant looking for something that was keto friendly so I figured a chile relleno would work.. however when I got it, it was breaded rather than cooked in the egg white batter..traditionally that's the way its done. Was too bread-y for me..so if you didn't know any better you'd probably think this is OK.. the relleno Itself was tasteless.. But I was able to taste was the red sauce that is smothered all over it.. I'm disappointed because I figure with the name like Jilbertos that it would be something authentic but this place is a lot more like a fast food spot. The cashier Also did not even acknowledge I was standing there while she prepared another person's food. A quick I'll be right with you would have sufficed. Atleast they had carrots a

This is a togo window only, it isn't a seating restaurant. After visiting this location I find the quality and portion size far superior to the jilbertos in Rincon. Although there isn't seating, it's worth swinging in. The cook pumped my food out extremely fast, and the portions were explosive. The size of the burrito is what we used to get in Rincon before the prices went up and the sizes shrank. The flautas were huge, and delicious. The burrito was on point, and big! Just the way we always expected it from jilbertos. Did I mention the prices are also still reasonable and not covid inflated? 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
