50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Gilbert

“Some of these one star reviews honestly make me laugh because half of them don’t even say what was supposedly wrong. It feels like people are just looking for a reason to hate on a place that’s actually doing something different.

Lujo’s isn’t trying to be another basic Mexican restaurant serving the same food you can get on every corner. These guys are doing something incredibly unique, from the presentation to the flavors to the whole atmosphere. You can tell there’s real thought and effort behind what they’re creating.

I’ve tried plenty of Mexican restaurants, and Lujo’s is easily some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were great, and the food actually felt memorable.

People are always going to hate when somebody steps outside the box and starts getting attention for it. I’d rather support a restaurant willing to take risks and do its own thing. Easily five stars for me.“

“This place was COOL. Chips & Salsa. The Chili chicken burrito was recommended and it was amazing. Our server Tyanna was BEAUTIFUL, friendly and very attentive. She catered to our every need. we will be back“

“Awesome food. Great staff makes you feel welcome and remembers you!“

“My second time here and it was just as good as the first time! Lots of flavor in the chicken!!! Definitely worth it. And the girl that helped us is super friendly and attentive.“

“OMG! THIS WAS AMAZING! Best BBQ in AZ. The brisket was smokey, smooth and cooked perfectly! The pulled chicken was outstanding! Mac n Cheese... not one elbow macaroni left in the dish! The homemade sauces are perfect (try the Arizona Gold for something different). Anyone who rates this places below a 5/5 is just wrong...“

“fresh food everyday, polite on point service“

“Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! Great for any occasion.“

“Amazing experience. Went first time last night. Excellent food and drinks, large portions, very friendly staff, very affordable.“

“I was greeted immediately with a couple of dudes who looked happy to help. They were quick, efficient, and very kind. They asked about my loyalty login, talked to me about my birthday, and made this a special little visit. Great staff, location, and quality. 👌“

“Truly one of our favorite restaurants, every dish we’ve tried has been exceptional, and the service is consistently amazing!!“

“love az burrito 🌯 & pozole is off the hook ! service always good too. keep up the good work Lulu's 👏 ✌️“

“My wife and I came during the 2nd anniversary and I got 4 street tacos. The carne asada was seasoned and delicious. A nice squeeze of lime and the salsa verde, which is made fresh, made for delicious street tacos.

My wife got the birria ramen and it was spicy, full of flavor, and very delicious. The agua frescas were fresh and delicious.

I haven't been to a taco place that has made me want to come back so quickly. Liz was kind and told us the specials that were going on during the anniversary and daily specials. Music was very lively too.“

“The ice cream was delicious! Can’t wait to go back and try their burrito“

“Nandos provides a great dining experience. We were in for lunch with friends. The menu provides so many great choices and everything we ordered was prepared perfectly. Are server took great care of us and was very accommodating to our extended visiting time after finishing our meal.“

“I am from Mass and was in the area for a birthday celebration. I ordered a platter of food with all the fixings. The food and array of guacamole and salsas were amazing! Mass has nothing on those chimi’s! Thank you!!!“

“Since 2009, I have loved this place. I can only eat there chicken, no one else's idk why or what they do to it.. they hooked me up with the chicken chimmy to help me go into labor with the hottest salsa. Baby Vivianna was born 27 hours later lol yes they gave me a plate for the hospital lol my son ( rip) Omar had his first job here. He didn't last long, but he loved it. The food is always amazing and fresh. The workers are amazing and so sweet.“

“Fabulous new addition to Gilbert!“

“Was hesitant because its not the typical sit down resteraunt, as you pay at the counter and its brought out to you.

Meal was brought out within 5 minutes, wife got Cheese Quesadilla with chilis, and said it was delicious, and legitimately spicy, a good thing. The kid actually ate the rice and beans, so that alone would be a win, but I got nachos and tacos, and they were excellent. Tacos had beans in them, with unique taco shells, and overall very good.

Nachos were great, tons of beef and beans, plenty of food for the price. I always judge a Mexican resteraunt based on the salsa, and it definitely had great salsa. Glad its close to us, will definitely be our go to Mexican resteraunt.“

“A couple weekends ago my husband and I had a late night out, we woke up not wanting to cook breakfast but craving a good burrito. We went to this Los Favs and I have been thinking/dreaming about that damn burrito now for two whole weeks so I decided a review was needed...it was soooo good! I got the machaca burrito con papa and my husband got Chile verde con frijol. I don't know if his burrito has been living rent free in his head like mine has but this will be my go-to breakfast burrito place from now on! Oh and those carrots and jalapeños, dayum those were good too, I'm drooling now. Thanks Los Favs!!“

“That burrito was worth every penny. My wife and I will be back soon!“

“Great place, the Nachos were fantastic, the manager was so awesome, Our bartender was great, he made me the Salt Old Fashion, a Mexican take on an Old Fashion that was spectacular, try it!!!“

“Came in last weekend for an early lunch and a couple of drinks. Ordered a tequila flight and they were out of one of the listed tequilas so they subbed in another that was even better. Have been here many times over the years and have never had a bad experience!“

“Friendly staff and the best food. What more could you ask for!“

“everything is so fresh and tasty. I have also never been to a restaurant that served steaming hot tortilla chips. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“1st time there and the food was great“

“Enjoyed the Shredded Brisket tacos!“

“Best carne asada burrito. I have tried searching for the best one, and I think this one hits the mark every time . The meat is seasoned perfectly, and the quality of meat is what sets it apart. I hate chewing fat in burritos and huge pieces of meat. I love the fact that they chop the meat up into small pieces because every bite has a perfect bite of meat. I add cheese to it, and I moved to South Chandler, and I crave this burrito. I will drive 25 minutes to get it because it’s so consistent, and I know what I’m going to get every time— never a disappointment. Hidden gem!“

“Friends and I went for my birthday. Waiter was very personable and accommodating. The food and service were excellent. The staff made it special for us.“

“Really wanted to love this place, but first impression wasn't great. Ordered food to go for the whole family and my wife and daughter ordered chicken protein bowls. Got the food home, and not a single piece of chicken in either bowl. Food was decent though...beans seemed a bit salty.“

“Was driving by and decided to give midnight taco a shot. Did not disappoint, their food is delicious and I rarely ever give reviews. Thank you midnight taco, we will be regular customers here! See you soon!“

“I can't rate the atmosphere, because I ordered on door dash. The Sunday family special is amazing. It is a great value. The tacos were amazing, and the chips and queso dip were fabulous. Love this place!“

“My favorite whenever I go to any of their other restaurants is shredded beef tacos and shrimp cocktail. They make the shrimp cocktail fresh so it does take a little bit to make.

Loaded with shrimp and avocado. The flavor of the tomato broth is so good.
They do put in hot sauce when they make it. It tastes a little hotter than I like so I asked them to not put any in. Then I will add some of their green verde sauce.

If you go here you have got to try the shrimp cocktail yum. They will give you a bunch of Ritz crackers and you can dip or load up the cracker.“

“I came here for a simple taco and left in an uber after several margaritas later. 10/10 would do again.“

“Was driving by and decided to give midnight taco a shot. Did not disappoint, their food is delicious and I rarely ever give reviews. Thank you midnight taco, we will be regular customers here! See you soon!“

“I come here every 2 weeks, the guy at the counter every time I’ve been has been the nicest human I may have ever encountered. He always has a smile on his face and seems genuinely happy. Crazy! Whatever he’s making it’s not enough. I appreciate you bro if you ever see this.“

“Mmmm yummy always delish! The remodel looks great!“

“Muy bien. Me mucho gusto!!“

“We frequently eat at all three locations. The food is top notch with HUGE generous portions. Our favorites are the shrimp tacos, stuffed quesadilla and flying saucers. Their horchata is the best in town! Great atmosphere, wonderful customer service, excellent food!“

“Went a while ago with my mom, waiter was very attentive and polite, service was fast since it was not too busy. Food was delicious, the bean dip is my favorite part every time.

It was a bit pricey, but I have been a lot and its very tasty.“

“First time here. Server was friendly and treated us well. Food was good and salsa was top notch.“

“MY FAVORITE Filibertos. I have one right next to my house but this one is my favorite and I will drive 15 min to go to it. I grew up eating this before my first job!!! Fresh and hot chips always available for free. Tripa and lengua burritos that other locations don't have.“

“Very good breakfast burrito. On my list as regular stop. I would suggest the faux plants & trees be taken outside , wash the dust off. Freshen up the interior“

“This place use to have the best burritos. Now they are smaller and taste more like ready made burritos you get from the gas station and loaded with salt. They consistently get orders wrong and give you salsa cups that are empty after 2 bites. Another case of a small business gone bad..“

“Great food and fast service!“

“Had lunch there yesterday and the food was terrible. The chips where old and when I went to order three items I had to pick the same items three times. My choice was a Taco, Enchilada and a Torstada. The food , I would rate it at a 1 out of a 10. I will never go back there . Very disappointed.“

“stopped here on a whim. Very impressive food. Had tacos with chicken and al pastor and a quesadilla with al pastor. The pastor here is delicious. I would go here every week if it wasn't so far from my house. Highly recommend to those who like real tacos.“

“We walked in and were greeted right away. The manager was very kind, welcoming, and took the time to talk with us, which made the experience even better. Our food came out quickly, everything tasted fresh, and the restaurant was clean. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’ll definitely be back.“

“Love their chicken tacos too (which is big news, as I almost NEVER order chicken tacos), but their Shrimp tacos are unbelievably good. I am fussy about shrimp tacos, but these are the bomb, not kidding. If they had shrimp every day I'd probably eat here 4-5 times a week. What a pleasant surprise!“
