Gilberts Mexican Restaurant: A Tex-Mex Gem in San Antonio

Another Mexican restaurant that is a gem. Tastes good small place, building looks old BUT food was great!!!! Love their chips and salsa and green salsa I highly recommend it and will be back.

The Javi Special Yummy will definitely be returning soon! Wait staff was fast and friendly... keep up the great work girls

Delicious food. Good service. Lots of photos of Tejano music artists, many have been there. I will return soon.

I would like to make a reservation! I've been going to Gilbert's for 21 years and Gilbert doesn't show up anymore!

This area staple has something original but yet something I have always looked for since PHX. The best Tex-mex colab, Carne Guisada Enchiladas. The "Javi" special is what I had and the story behind the name is classic. (History is the menu). The rice was pretty salty and my tortilla was under cooked but even those issues could not stop me from coming back. The service was top notch and I wanted for nothing during my visit. The ambiance is very much a part of the experience here. Gilbert was a major Tejano music influence so the memorabilia is perfectly dated. The "Nick Cage" Elvis painting is something I would bid heavily for in an auction!!!!

True authentic Tex Mex food !!! We had Javi Special (Carne G enchiladas) w rice and beans and cheese enchilada plate. Both of the plates were very fresh, kinda like mom used to make. The salsa and chips were fantastic as well. I've never had carne guisada French fries and they didn't disappoint. Very generous servings. Will def come back for that home cooked meal feeling!
