Gilberto's Taco Shop

I can’t say enough good things about Gilberto’s Taco Shop in Arlington! My husband and I first time here. It’s a tiny, family-owned gem from Zacatecas, serving the most authentic Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. The space is small—just a few tables and limited parking in the back—but don’t let that discourage you! Once you step inside, you’re greeted with warm hospitality. They offer an incredible menu—carne asada tacos, chicken tacos, birria tacos—and their homemade sauces (mild, medium, and hot) are just perfection. Plus, they even have those classic Mexican Coca-Colas! The portions are huge, and the prices are unbelievably reasonable. They have 3 locations in the area. They serve beer and mix drinks in their other locations not this particular location. This location is wheelchair accessible and they do orders to go if you call them in. If you’re on the hunt for TRUE Mexican flavors, show this place some love—you won’t regret it!

My fiancé and I have been coming here for many years, ever since Gilbertos only had one location. We absolutely love it. The staff are always so kind, hardworking, and very helpful. The portion sizes are huge. The aguas frescas are so good, and the food is so tasty, and affordable. I absolutely recommend the Arlington Burrito, with everything on it, and a large Jamaica, as these have always been my go to since I first started coming here. My fiancé got the Hot Cheeto Birria Balls for the first time yesterday, and oh my gosh they were great. We highly recommend trying them. Definitely come check out any of their 3 locations. They are absolutely fantastic!!!! 💯💯🫶🏼😋❤️

Everything came out hot and delicious. So good, we had to come back the next day! The hot Cheeto burrito was my favorite. We also got the Birria ramen and Birria hot Cheeto balls. Big portions! Will be back.

Loved the birria tacos here, and Maria was fast! But being charged extra for extra birria sauce and only getting half a cup on both was a little disappointing. I came back to this location after so long since I usually go to the Cooper one near UTA. This place still feels more authentic, but just wished the portions matched the price.

Great little taco spot! The food is tasty with really good portion sizes—definitely worth it. The breakfast burrito is huge and absolutely delicious. Service was excellent, thanks especially to Maria, who was friendly and attentive. Perfect place to grab a bite, and I’ll definitely be back again after a Cowboys football game!
