“ It was an amazing experience the food was incredible!!! Thanks see you guys soon!!!, the way they take care of customers like they family!! ”
“ I saw Gil Tacos was only 15 minutes away from the airport with over 2,000 reviews on Google, so decided to take our group here before we headed home. It wasn't busy at all when we arrived. My boyfriend and I ordered four different tacos (steak, marinated pork, fish, and shrimp) and a cubana torta. I enjoyed the tacos more so than the torta since it was a bit messy to eat the torta. The sauces they have are good! I really like their avocado sauce they had! Nice and creamy! ”
“ First time visiting Gil's Tacos, and it definitely won't be my last! My boyfriend's recommendation didn't disappoint. We brought his parents here during their visit, and we were all impressed. The birria, available only on Fridays and Saturdays, was incredibly flavorful--well worth the wait. The horchata was perfectly sweet and creamy, complementing the meal beautifully. His parents loved the tacos dorados and the rice, though the beans weren't their favorite. Overall, it was a fantastic lunch, and we're already looking forward to our next visit! ”
“ My goodness. There is a God in Heaven! How do I know?? These tacos. They are RIDICULOUSLY fantastic. Homemade salsas, delicious, hot, perfect tacos, clean facility, very friendly people... this is everything I would ever want in an authentic Mexican restaurant. The service is spectacular. If you want the best of the best, look no further. You MUST hit Gil Tacos! ”
“ This place, was literally the best Mexican food I've had from a restaurant in years! So dang good, taquitos were juicy , rice was seasoned so well , beans were great! Horchata? ON POINT. If ever I'm in town again I'll definitely be coming back. Chicken "tacos dorado" BOMB! ”
“ I've never heard of this place before coming here by chance; the place I was originally going to closed early, and I am not mad about that. I don't usually come out this way, so after a quick check of Yelp, it showed this place close by and highly recommended. And another plus, they offer online ordering through Yelp. This place is easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. But surprisingly, the restaurant was very busy for a weekday afternoon; almost all of the tables were occupied. Always a plus to see a place poppin' at non-peak times imo. I made sure to order a couple of different tacos to try (and share with the hubs) so I ordered two of each of the asada, pollo and carnitas tacos. I clearly realized my mistake after taking one bite, because, omg, these tacos are are so, so tasty. I think someone used the word phenomenal and I 100% agree. Out of the three types of tacos, the chicken taco was my favorite. I am, of course, not opposed to trying every taco they offer to confirm it's my favorite. :P Note about ordering time: I ordered through the Yelp app and arrived within 7 minutes of ordering. The restaurant was very busy, however, I only waited for less than 5 minutes for my takeout to be ready. Pretty amazing imo :) ”
“ Wow, this is a great spot and something you would just pass by. Authentic is the best way to describe it. We had great service with suggestions. Our meal was spot on. ”
“ I grabbed an early dinner at Gil. The place is modest, but they offer friendly counter service and a pleasant seating area. I had the John Fries and a carne asada steak taco. The taco was excellent. Tender, flavorful meat and a fresh tasty tortilla - delicious. The fries were a unique take on loaded fries. They were topped with pork, cheese sauce and vegetables. A generous portion and great flavor. ”
