4 Best Mexican Restaurants in Gilmer

“best birria tacos I've ever had! 10/10“

“We came here based on a TikTok contributor. We were not disappointed. In tiny little Gilmer,Tx was some of the finest Mexican Food we've had.The restaurant is clean, bright, updated and beautiful to have been there so long, and fairly large. It was in between lunch and supper on a Saturday and the restaurant was still quite full. The staff was friendly and our waitress,Hortensia, was probably one of the finest we've ever had anywhere. You may order the lunch specials till 4pm and you can even order them at that price on the weekend. My husband got the steak fajitas on the lunch special. I got the avocado stuffed with fajita chicken. It came with queso, sour cream, Pico, that was surprisingly not to hot, and on a bed of Spanish rice. My husband's came with the usual set up for fajitas and refried beans, which were exceptionally flavorful. I have heard that their Barracho beans are as well. Perhaps next time. We got flour and corn tortillas. They were white corn which I prefer, as they are more pillowy and have a bit of a different flavor than the yellow. It is uncommon to find restaurants who serve them and even more so rare if they serve both. We were told you can request yellow corn if you prefer them. I highly doubt you will tho.😀 My husband took it upon himself to order me a large margarita something I probably wouldn't have ordered, but it was wonderful and the size of my face!😜Our waitress told us that while the cheesecake was just good cheesecake, the cakes made my the owner are another story. Apparently she loved this ladies' cakes so much that she flew her here from Mexico for a few weeks to learn to make her cakes: chocolate, Tres Leches and Carrot cake. She said they were all delicious but the carrot cake was the best both the owners and she had ever eaten. We ordered a slice to go. The slice she brought us was as large as our large carryout box! Best cake I have ever eaten!! Husband and I agree on that. Just remembered there was one other thing I meant to mention at the beginning.. chips were nothing extra- average, as was salsa.She brought us a dip tho, kind of like a jalapeño ranch maybe that was yummy! Not sure. Was NOT spicy to me. Spicy and I no longer do well together lol. I also read about an off menu brown sauce I want to check into next time...Chipotle maybe? Don't remember where I read it. Lastly, we drove from Forney to Gilmer, so an hr and a half. It's what I wanted to do for Mother's Day. We will be back and we will drive the back roads again. My husband says he would drive an hour and a half just for another piece of that cake!🤣😋Really impressed with the improvements in these little East TX Towns. They are becoming very vibrant! Most had a festival Mother's Day weekend as well. Get out there and travel your states! Try something new!“

“I have left a review for this amazing establishment before and I feel like I need to again. There is a nice gentleman there with colored hair. BEST service comes from him!!! I never catch his name but he provides top notch service every time, so friendly, accommodating to our crazy toddler, checks on us appropriately. The food is always wonderful!! Never disappointed and always highly recommended!!!“

“Breakfast was good I had the biscuit gravy bacon and egg breakfast. coffee was nice and hot and waitress was very attentive. While I was eating breakfast the program "The View" came on television and the waitress at my request change the channel which I was very pleased with.“
