    Actually a great place to eat. Burritos are huge! Tacos are a bit pricey, but they are still good tacos! I love their tres leches. Homemade and delicious! Try the chocolate one! The best! Their superfries are the most delicious thing too! The birria is so delicious! Try the tacos too! Definitely coming back when I’m back in Iowa!

    I highly recommend Gilibertos! The food is always fresh and delicious! You get your moneys worth! Their tacos and quesadillas are the best I have ever had! I love the drive thru. It’s very convenient! If you are ever driving through Altoona I recommend that you stop by! We drive 35 miles to come eat here. It’s so worth it!

    I going give all 5 stars because we eat here on the fly alot. And it works for us.. But, your 2 taco with rice and beans. Is 14.. and your tacos are supper small. Idk why i would pay extra for beans and rice. If there isn't enough room on my shells to put the rice and beans. Did I order rice and beans? To eat together or on a taco. We pay 2.50 for tacos like that around here.Charging me 9 dollars for rice and beans. Always been good to me. But expressing my concerns as well.
