"Gilbert’s is classic, accessible Mexican food served in a festive space that makes for a great night out. You won’t find any new takes on Mexican here - what you will find are huge, delicious burritos, excellent tacos, and strong margaritas. Bring people you know won’t judge you for having mole dripping down your chin. You’ll be too busy slipping into a food coma to care." - jess basser sanders, amy clark
