Don't doubt the reviews, they're true! My partner has been coming here for over 20 years (maybe early on was under different ownership) and this place has always remained a staple in this area. Today we ordered a breakfast burrito with ham, and one with machaca. They're good size for the price, and include potatoes and cheese! The one with ham was delicious, although the potatoes were a little undercooked this time. The one with machaca was the best my partner remembered having anywhere - so flavorful it didn't need salsa and the meat was tender and juicy! We also got some walnuts from the farm stand outside, and a bag of ice from the liquor store next door. Until next time!

This place is a hidden gem. The quality is great and the sizes are enormous. Ordered a carnitas burrito, veggie burrito and carne asada plate. Came out to 38 dollars a which is about right but wasn't prepared for the 5 pound forearm sized burritos and the carne asada plate overflowing with not only beans, rice and guacamole but a ton of meat. If you are looking for great food, large portions at an amazing price this is it. Extensive salsa bar as well. A must if you are ever at the Harrah's. Customer service was straight and to the point, and within 10 minutes or so received my order. All around great experience

Lots of salsas to choose from!!! This was great. There were lots of different combos at an affordable price too! Whenever I'm in the area, I always stop by here. I love the fact that they are next to liquor store and fruit stand. So you get to pick up few items if you are staying within the area for few days or to just hike around. Carne asada plate is always a good choice. Not to mention their smaller tacos. Only thing we did not enjoy much was the fish tacos, it was more batter than fish. Fish so small portion that you couldn't even tell or taste its fish taco. Also be warned when sitting outside, there will be lots of flies so best to stay and eat inside. Team members are good. You order, pay and sit yourself. Everything is self served.

if you are staying at the Harrah's down the street, you HAVE to come to Jilberto's. the food is sooo good. i had the california burrito and rolled tacos, also tried the breakfast burrito with bacon. all of those were amazing, hot, fresh, tasty, and at a GREAT price. they also have a self serve station for your choice of salsas. i'll be visiting anytime i come back to Harrah's!

I can't believe it took me this long to finally stop here. We pass by it all the time on our way to Harrah's Casino and I always say the name in my head while we drive by. Harrah's has ridiculous prices for food so we decided to try this spot out finally instead of driving to a bigger city and we are so glad we did. We ordered the carne asada burrito and the El Jefe rolled tacos plate. There is seating and TVs on the inside but you can choose to sit outside as well. Nothing fancy, but can seat a lot of people. The staff were really nice and food came out pretty fast. The carne asada burrito was an absolute unit. Huge and had a great ratio of rice, beans and meat. The El Jefe rolled tacos plate is everything I've ever wanted in a roll taco plate. It comes with guacamole and salsa with carne asada on top. Again, huge portion. What surprised me the most was their excellent salsa bar. All their salsas were tasty and they even had hot carrots. It hits the spot for San Diego style Mexican food and the value is really good.

After a couple days on the mountain Jilberto's tasted so good! We eat at the "-bertos" in Vista and Oceanside and Jillbertos didn't disappoint.

Driving from Harrah's is only a 5 minute venture. Upon arrival I noticed a cute fruit stand in front of the restaurant. Parking lot is very big and not only is this a restaurant and fruit selling establishment but this place also has a liquor store located in the rear! We quickly placed our order of bean and eggs cheese burrito and carne asada burrito with a side of freshly made chips. It took some time to receive but we didn't mind since we knew iour food would be made fresh. I hit up the salsa bar and enjoyed our large jimiaca drink, this place is awesome! The food was so delicious and so made right that it makes you think of your childhood days when your nana or abuela would make you fresh home cooked meals. I love both Jilbertos. This was the second place we hit up on our way to Harrahs. I must say you have to stop here before going into the casino and spending so much money on the food over there. This is so much better! Take it to go and eat in your room! Relax and enjoy authentic food with hopefully a great view from your room! I would have provided pics hehehe but the food didn't have a chance of surviving that long. Thank you for the awesome service and wonderful authentic food that brought back soooo many memories! Thank you!
