"This spot has single handedly gotten me through my last couple quarters of school. My go tos are Taco Tripa, Taco Asada, and Papi Chulo. The asada is always well-seasoned, the tripa is cooked just right, and the Papi Chulo is easily one of my favorite menu items... I’m graduating in a couple of weeks, and one of the things I’ll genuinely miss is being able to order these delicious and affordable tacos after a long day of classes/studies. This place has been a small but meaningful part of my college experience, and I’ll always associate it with some of my favorite memories from school. If you’re looking for great tacos and consistently delicious food, I can’t recommend this spot enough. Thank you for helping get me through college one taco at a time! 🌮❤️"

"WOW!!! That was the best, THE BEST, Shrimp and Crab Louie EVER! Everything was fresh and there was an abundance of shrimp and crab, not just a few of them sprinkled on top. The bread rolls were heated and even the butter was placed in a separate container so they didn't melt or get smashed. Thank You Gilda's and a big hug to the Chef and Preppers. "
"This was a DoorDash order. I ordered my filet mignon med rare; it was well done. The coleslaw was hot. The spaghetti and meatballs tasted like Sysco quality; no way was it homemade. Although they didn't clam it to be homemade, it was pricy for "freezer food." Crab cakes were sub par at best. The vegetables were good and cooked perfectly. The fruit bowl was hot...probably similar to the hot Cole slaw being bagged with hot food. Cold vs. hot should be bagged accordingly. We also only received one set of utensils for $140 worth of food, including two entry's. Seems common sense to pack fo at least two people eating. Disappointing on several levels. From quality, cooking and packing the to-go."
